Sand Lake School's February Newsletter
Sand Lake 3600 Sand Lake Road Holmen, WI 54636 School’s (Voice) 608.781.0974 Fax) 608.781.2809 (Web) February www.holmen.k12.wi.us Natalie Morgan, Principal Newsletter [email protected] From the principal’s desk… Brrrr! Winter has arrived. Please keep that in mind when sending your child to school each day. If the temperature is one degree or above, studentsetter DO go outside for recess. Also, there are times when students are outside – waiting for the bus, going to and from the car before and after school to name a few. Boots, hats, gloves, snow pants and a winter coat are all priorities this time of year! We have recently passed the mid-point of the school year and I hope that to this point it has been a successful one for you and your child(ren). Students and staff have been working hard. Our assessments are complete and you should have received your child’s report card. If you have any questions – please feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher. Technology has changed the way that we all live our lives. Social networking (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), cell phones, instant messaging, and texting have allowed each of us to conveniently and instantaneously communicate. Cyber bullying has seen a rapid rise in school-aged children throughout the country, and unfortunately, seldom does a day go by without hearing these stories in the media. Although we do not allow this sort of communication here at school with students, we have seen students come to school upset about something that was posted from home. -

Arboretum Elementary School October 2018 Courage
Arboretum Elementary School October 2018 Ms. Sheila Weihert, Principal 1350 Arboretum Drive Waunakee, WI 53597 608-849-1800 Extension 1 - Attendance [email protected] Extension 2 - Health Office Extension 3 - School Counselor Extension 4 - Principal Extension 5 - Food Service Extension 0 - Office Courage In October, students and staff at Arboretum Ele- mentary will be focused on the character trait courage. Parents can talk with their children about courage to reinforce what we are doing at school. We ask children to have the courage to invite oth- ers into games during recess or stand up for some- one that might be excluded. It takes a lot of thought and courage for an elementary student to stand up for themselves or others. Ask your child about how they use courage at school, home, and out and about with friends.

State Education Department: Universal Pre-Kindergarten Program
New York State Office of the State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli Division of State Government Accountability Universal Pre-Kindergarten Program: Monitoring of Health and Safety Requirements State Education Department Report 2016-S-10 December 2016 2016-S-10 Executive Summary Purpose To determine whether the State Education Department’s (Department) monitoring of the Universal Pre-Kindergarten providers’ compliance with applicable health and safety regulations is sufficient. Our audit scope included the period January 1, 2013 through August 4, 2016. Background The Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) program was established through Chapter 436 of the Laws of 1997 to provide all four-year-olds in the State with the opportunity for an early childhood education. UPK provides four-year-old children access, at no charge, to comprehensive early childhood education experiences that promote their social-emotional, creative expressive/ aesthetic, physical, cognitive, linguistic, and cultural development. The early childhood agencies (eligible agencies) collaborating with school districts comprise a wide range of early child care and education providers, including: day care centers, nursery schools, Head Start programs, group family or family day care providers, preschool special education providers, Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), and private schools. Department regulations require buildings and classrooms used for UPK to be safe and to comply with applicable fire safety, health, and building codes, and for equipment and furnishings to be safe and suitable for children and maintained in a state of good repair and sanitation. For the 2014-15 school year, there were 1,338 UPK providers operating outside of New York City that reported serving 43,623 children. -
Downtown Neighborhood City of Niagara Falls: Phase I
Intensive Level Survey Historic Resources – Downtown Neighborhood City of Niagara Falls: Phase I 3.0 Historical Overview This section provides a narrative history of the City of Niagara Falls with specific emphasis on the Downtown neighborhood. The overview addresses significant trends and themes associated with the city’s historic context. The Downtown neighborhood’s period of significance is identified and examined in this chapter. Martin Wachadlo, architectural historian, conducted the background historic research. 3.1 Niagara County: Physiology and Geology Figure 3-1. Niagara Falls, Niagara Falls, New York Niagara County borders the southern shore of Lake Ontario in the extreme northwestern corner of New York State, and occupies part of the Huron and Ontario Plains. The Ontario Plain comprises part of Lake Ontario to the foot of the Niagara Escarpment1, and the Huron plain extends from the crest of the escarpment southward beyond the county line. The Niagara Escarpment begins in Watertown, New York, USA and extends westerly along the Manitoulin Island in the Province of Ontario, Canada. The escarpment continues through Wisconsin and Illinois. With geological material measuring 64-ft thick, the stratigraphy at Niagara Falls provides a glimpse into the overall rock types comprising the Niagara Escarpment (Figure 3-1). The top layer is Lockport Dolomite, a hard rock referred to as the "Lower Silurian Group." Below the top layer is Rochester Shale, which is much softer and wears away easily with the effects of erosion. Under the shale are harder strata of limestone and dolostone known as the "Clinton Group." Below the harder strata is Grimsby sandstone. -

March 21st has also been set aside as a conference night for those teachers needing additional time to meet with parents. During your children’s conferences, staff members will be looking for feedback from you regarding how to continue helping your child do their best in school. Teachers will discuss students’ progress (i.e. strengths, daily work habits, assessment results, interactions with classmates, areas for improvement, etc.). Time will also be provided for parents to ask questions. It may be beneficial to discuss your children’s school experiences with your child(ren) prior to the scheduled conference. You may be able to use the information they provide as a means to communicate to the teacher what you feel is going well, as well as what type of assistance your children might need from the staff. Following the conference, please take the time to praise your students’ efforts and assist them in recognizing those areas in which work is needed to continually improve. Because each conference is allotted only fifteen minutes, it is important that we start and end on time. If a conflict arises and you are unable to attend, please contact the school office prior to your scheduled meeting. In addition, we encourage parents to look through the LOST AND FOUND items that will be on display in the cafeteria area. -

When you eliminate the stress and frustration of choosing, planning, organizing and executing a great fundraiser, all you have left are the good parts: More money and increased awareness for your worthy group, club, organization or team.
