Message from Mr. Reinhiller
Chester Middle School and Chester High School are both off to a great start. We have over 20
new students and they are really fitting in with the rest of the student body. That is a true compliment to not only the school but the community as a truly caring environment. We have over
120 open enrollments at Chester Area School which is about 33% of our total enrollment.
The end of the first nine weeks is Friday, October 19th. Parent teacher conferences will take
place next Thursday, October 25th from 3:30-9:30 pm. Please make every effort to attend this
important event.
Chester Area School not only takes pride in academics but extra-curricular activities as well. Ms. Mogen’s band
just completed their marching portion of band last week. They placed in four marching contests highlighted by
hosting the 8th annual Festival of Bands. 27 bands and over 1,200 students marched down Main Street of Chester. Sioux Falls Lincoln High School performed on Flyer Field after the contest and were incredible. In my opinion, they were better than most college bands I’ve seen on tv.
Mrs. Benson’s honor choir performed last week in Howard at the Big East Honor Choir. Twenty of Chester’s 50
chorus students participated. What is more impressive is 50% of our 9-12 enrollment is involved in our choir.
The cross country team has completed their regular season and the girls team qualified for the state meet in
Huron. Mr. Peterson has them running many miles in preparation for this prestigious event.
The football team is in the playoff hunt again this year. They have played many ranked teams in the state and
even though they have lost to them they have put up some tremendous offensive numbers. After their game
against Baltic they will probably be on the road for the first round.
The volleyball team has one regular season match left against rival Arlington. They currently have a record of 16
-5 and have the inside track of hosting the districts that will be held in late October/early November.
Once again, I hope to see all of you at conferences next week. I also encourage you to stop in and see me if you
have any questions or concerns. Together, we can make a difference in the education of our students.
Sincerely,
Mike Reinhiller
HS/MS Principal
Chester Area School
Thursday, October 25, 2012
3:30 PM - 9:30 PM
School will be dismissed at 2:30 PM.
NO SCHOOL on Friday, October 26th
The Chester Area School will be piloting a new program on its school buses
beginning in November. This program, called BlinkSpot, will provide the school
with an accurate way to identify the students riding the bus each day. It will also
provide parents with the chance to receive real-time information about where and
when their children are entering and exiting the school bus sent directly to their
email address. Representatives from BlinkSpot will be at the school on October 25th from 3:30-9 pm to answer any questions parents may have.
BlinkSpot utilizes the BlinkSpot Camera to capture an iris image of the students as they enter and exit the bus. The information is then transmitted via secure connection to the school and the student’s parents so they can know the exact time and location the students entered and exited the bus. This system provides parents with the security of knowing that their child got to school or home
and it provides the school with the knowledge of who is riding the bus in the
event of an accident or other catastrophe.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What is an iris?
A: The iris is the colored part of the eye. The iris has distinctive patters that al low
for very accurate identification. No two people have the same iris patterns.
Q: Is the iris camera safe to use?
A: There are no health risks associated with iris recognition. There are no flashes
or bright lights and all cameras are FCC compliant and approved to meet international eye safety standards.
Q: Can iris recognition be used for forensics?
A: No, iris recognition cannot be used for forensic applications as one does not
leave one’s iris at the scene of a crime.
Q: Does the camera use any laser beam to capture the iris image?
A: No, iris recognition is safe because it uses simple video photography without
emitting any laser rays or X-ray or other harmful rays.
SUCCESS AND GOOD ATTENDANCE GO HAND IN HAND
Students are expected to be on time and in school regularly. The NCLB legislation dictates that schools maintain a 94% attendance rate. This is about 8 absences per year. Being diligent in attendance is the most effective way a parent can show their
child that their work and time at school is important. In today’s world, it is more important than ever to have a good education,
and one of the key factors to obtaining it, is having good attendance in school.
Research has shown that there is a strong correlation between a strong attendance record and a higher grade point average. In
fact, students who attend school on a regular basis not only have higher levels of academic achievement than students who are
frequently absent, they have stronger bonds to the school and community, lower rates of delinquent and high risk behaviour, and
increased participation in higher education.
Research has also shown that students who have high rates of absenteeism usually do not do well in school mainly because they
can not keep up with their school work. The U.S. Department of Education reports that for every missed day of school, it takes
students two days to catch up since they must make up missed learning and catch up with new learning at the same time. Additionally, since school is not only about academic work, a child being absent means that children miss out on the social side of
school life which can affect their ability to make and keep friends, and work alongside people later in life.
What can I do to help ensure regular school attendance?
There may be many reasons why your child is not or does not want to attend school. Initially you should speak to your child to
see if there are any underlying issues. If you are unable to resolve these issues it is important you speak to someone at the school
for advice and support. Here are some simple suggestions to encourage attendance:
Be ready - Make sure that your child is ready and prepared for school with the uniform, books and equipment needed. Set all of
their supplies and clothing out the night before.
Be careful about breakfast - Children of all ages need a nutritious breakfast. Snacks, sweets and drinks that are high in salt,
sugar and additives are not a good start to the day.
Be interested - Make sure you have time to talk to your child about school each day and find out what homework needs to be
done. Your child is more likely to attend school if they feel supported and their anxieties addressed. Completing their homework on time prevents many stressors.
Be positive - Problems in school may occur with other children or with your child’s work. Reassure your child that you and the
school will work together to provide help and support.
Be firm - Unless your child is too ill to attend school, then he or she should be in school. Make sure your child understands that
you do not approve of them missing school.
Be clear with the school - If your child is too ill to attend school then contact the school on the first day of absence and keep the
school informed.
Be aware - You should not take your child out of school for a holiday during school time.
Be available - Let the school know how you can be contacted and provide emergency telephone numbers. Drop children off and
pick them up on time. Make sure you don’t make children or employees wait.
Be supportive of the school - Make sure your child follows the school rules and you are clear about the school’s expectations,
policies and procedures.
Be involved – Speak regularly to your child’s teacher and attend events scheduled for parents.
Be Knowledgeable – Keep a copy of your child’s schedule. This may help to avoid any issues. For example, do they have their
PE clothes or their band instrument?
STEM Day 2012
“You’re Hired”
If you are a parent of a 612 grade Chester student,
you probably heard about
an activity your child
completed in the first
couple of weeks of school.
This activity is what is
known as a STEM activity—I will explain in the
second part of this article.
Students were broken
into groups of 6-8 grade
students and 9-12 students and posed a situation. The situation is
this; Greaner Ways is a
company that developed
Magic Sand and promotes
it as a product for cleaning up oil spills. Their
first job, was to determine
if the sand would clean up
an oil spill, they then had
to come up with a method
of using it, and a proposal
to give to a board room
(Donald Trump’s Apprentice). Students had to use
time management, teamwork, critical thinking
(magic sand was designed
for this, but was not used
due to economic reasons),
and communication both
in their groups and in the
board room. Students
had a great time researching the product
and finding ways to promote a solution. At the
end of the day, board
members “hired” a team
from the junior high and
high school. These
groups were then
awarded a lunch out to
the Hillside.

A group of students busy
working on STEM.
Special points of interest:
•
•
Marissa, Rachel, and Evan
working on their STEM project
STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering & Math
So, what is STEM and
why are we implementing
STEM activities. STEM
is the learning process of
combining science, technology, engineering, and
math into a project/
problem. Students use
these subjects to solve a
given problem/situation.
The new science standards that are being implemented not only at the
state level, but also at the
national level are centered around STEM and
Problem Based Learning.
Students are being asked
to be critical thinkers,
work well in teams, improve communication
skills, as well as use their
science, technology, math,
and engineering skills.
The JH/HS Math and
Science Department attended a STEMwise conference last spring and
came home with some
great STEM ideas. We
applied and received a
grant which is being used
to fund our STEM activities as well as develop a
relationship with North
Dakota State College of
Science. NDSCS teaches
teachers how to implement STEM in their curriculum. We have had
the opportunity to complete one of 3 planned
STEM days and look forward to the remaining
activities. Please take
time to talk to your 6-12
grade student about
STEM.

Science Summaries
Physical Science
Physical science has proven to be a difficult adjustment for
many 9th graders. It is the first science class that combines
theories and concepts with mathematical calculations. We
use the calculations to explain why things happen the way
they do. We just finished our study of motion including
velocity, and acceleration. We are currently discussing
Newton’s 2nd and 3rd Laws of Motion. To help us understand the concept of gravity, we did a lab where we
dropped objects with different masses, and found out that
they all fall at the same rate. Next, we will discuss momentum, and simple machines.
Chemistry
At the beginning of the year, we reviewed measurements used in science, the metric system, scientific notation, and significant digits. Next, we
studied matter and the changes that it undergoes.
We distinguished between substances and mixtures and further classified them into elements
and compounds. Then, we had the opportunity to
observe both chemical and physical changes, and
calculated the percent of each element in a compound. We are currently learning electron configurations which is the location of electrons in an
atom.
Physics
The seniors who were courageous
enough to take Physics recently studied projectile motion including using
vectors to solve problems. We have 2
text books for physics, we use the first
book to gain an understanding of the
major scientific concept, and then we
use the second book to support and
strengthen our study with the use of
mathematical calculations. We started
the year with a review of linear motion, including velocity and acceleration calculations. We discussed free
fall, and did a lab to calculate our
“hang time”.

Albert Einstein
Algebra I: Eighth grade students have finished two units covering patterns,
linear patterns, order of operations, real numbers, and simplifying expressions.
They are now focusing on solving equations, using formulas, and will continue
to use the distributive property which they love so much!! Looking ahead, they
will be working on proportional reasoning & statistics.
Pre-Algrebra: This group of students started the year working hard on solving
equations and inequalities. Their focus has been on how to solve problems
with all operations. Besides learning the operations of integers, students have
spent many hours practicing solving equations & inequalities containing integers and rules of exponents. Coming up next, these 8th graders will be learning about the number system including rational and real numbers.
Middle School Students Enjoying
Homecoming!!
Conferences will be held on October 25th from 3:30 to 9:30. Middle
School Conferences are held in the high school gymnasium. I hope
to see all of you there to discuss your child’s progress over the first
9 weeks of school!!
6th Graders & Middle School !!
Sixth graders have been very busy this year. With transitioning to the middle
school, to meeting a new teacher every hour, as well as keeping organized, the
students seem to be loving the middle school. They love moving every hour to
a new class, however, one of the down falls is the size of their lockers.
In math, the sixth graders have been working on their first unit which covers
numerous topics including problem solving, order of operations, functions,
equations, statistics and graphs. Next, they will work on operations with decimals and fractions.
7th Grade Tackle Order of Operations,
Equations & Integers
This year, we have 21 seventh
graders: 8 girls & 13 boys. Seventh graders have had a very
busy start in math so far. They
have been busy learning & mastering how to add, subtract, multiply & divide integers. They
have also learned how to solve
‘simple’ equations, expressions,
and the order of operations.
Next, 7th graders will tackle solving equations with integers, 2step equations, inequalities, and
functions & graphs.
SPANISH CLUB 12’-13’
Spanish Club starts out the year with a strong enrollment of 27 high school students. Spanish Club is
an organization that has activities to enrich the cultural learning experience of Spanish students. Some
of the activities that the students do are Christmas caroling in Spanish, ethnic food cooking and
sampling, club fiestas, and they will celebrate many other holidays with activities. These students will
also get to try an authentic eating experience and use their Spanish speaking skills. Students will be
working 2 concessions in February. Students will receive a club pin by attending meetings and actively
participating.
In the Spanish and
English Classrooms
9th English: 9th grade students started the year with a intense
review of the parts of speech and recently they have been
working with short story fiction. Some of the short stories they
have read are: “The Most Dangerous Game”, “Three Skeleton
Key” and “The Scarlet Ibis” to name a few. Soon they will be
reading the novel To Kill A Mockingbird.
Spanish I: Spanish I students have been working on greetings
and goodbyes and other dialogue exchanges in Spanish. They
will soon be presenting their “soy projects”. These projects
describe who they are as a person and what their likes and dislikes are.
Spanish Club Officers
President: Callie Baumberger
Vice President: Bailley Schneider
Sec./Treasurer: Sam Ordal
Spanish II: These Spanish students have been working on grammar in class and learning how to use D.O. pronouns and how to conjugate verbs in the command form so they can guide each other around the school blindfolded using directions and commands in Spanish. These students must know their command verbs and direction
words extremely well. These students were also studying Mexico and Mexico City and its culture, geography, history, and the popular food, art and customs of that region.
Spanish IV: These students have been working on an intensive unit of grammar using the past progressive and
perfect tenses. They have also been using dialogue to share what they like and dislike about food. They soon will
be studying the different artwork of famous Spanish artists and the history of art and architectural time periods.
Some of the artists that they will study are Pablo Picasso, Francisco de Goya, Salvador Dali, Diego Velazquez, El
Greco, Bassa, Rubens, Sorolla, and others.

MS Students Learn ‘The Parts of Speech’
So far this year,
students in the middle
school have been very
busy learning about
nouns, pronouns,
verbs and adjectives.
Coming up, the students will begin working on their first big
first writing project,
which will focus on
descriptive writing.
They have done very
well, and have had an
awesome start to the
school year!
In November and
December, students
will continue learning
about the different
parts of speech,
focusing on adverbs,
prepositions, conjunctions and interjections.
They will also be completing another writing assignment, focusing on either expository writing or compare and contrast writing. It’s always fun to
read their papers! :)
Makayla works on creating a
poster her project for STEM
day. All of the middle school
students did awesome!!!
It’s All About Short Stories!
In reading, middle school
students have been very
busy learning about the
key elements of short stories. They have read several stories, and we discuss the different ele-

Seventh Grade Geography - World
For our first quarter project, each student in the 7th grade made
two different population charts. The first chart was over the
Top 10 most populated countries in a selected year. Students
went to the Internet, found the top 10 countries, recorded their
population and then made a chart of their year.
Population
The 2nd part of the Population Charts was having each
student select a country from around the world and
record their population for 11 different years. They
then listed the years and their population totals.
8th Grade Science
Both of these pictures are dealing with a lab called Origami Boxes. This
lab tested volume, estimation, engineering, and prediction. skills.
6th Grade Science
Testing acceleration, force, and
motion using hot wheels.

High School Geometry Quilts
We recently finished our first ever quilts in Geometry. The students started off by researching
transformations such as reflections, rotations, and translations. Next they were supposed to create a design and then transform it into the remaining 3 quadrants of a graph. They had a lot of
fun doing this project. It really gave them a hands-on physical approach in learning transformations. The students did a great job of working hard and completing deadlines. I am very proud
of them. Great job Geometry students!
In Pre-Calculus and Algebra 2 we finished our unit on slope and linear concepts. We did a
project throughout the school where we measured all the sets of steps and ramps. Students
were given information about state safety codes and they were glad to report that we meet those
public codes. This was a great hands-on activity that made them think outside the box.
In Algebra we spent a lot of time on linear concepts as well. We focused a little on slope but
mostly on word problems that pertain to everyday situations. Students were solving and writing their own cost production equations. We started a little slow but did very well towards the
end.
Something new this year in my room is Scholastic Math Magazine. Every student gets one.
We read them as a class and they are to answer all the questions in it. This is a great magazine
because it promotes reading in math and focuses on skills that students struggle with such as
fractions, unit conversions, and graph/table reading. Please spend some time with them and go
though it or check out the website www.scholastic.com
Social Studies Projects
By: Mr. Gale
We have been doing some great things in government class this
year with the seniors. It is a very interesting time of the year for
government and we have been paying a great deal of attention to
the general election. Seniors who were of the age of 18 were registered to vote and other students filled out their applications so they
could send those in upon their 18th birthday. Another major project
that we do in government class is our “congress project”. Students
of the government class are split into the Senate and the House of
Representatives equally. From there both chambers must follow
present day rules for creating bills into laws that we must follow in
the classroom. I am the president and for this year’s term of Congress Coach Knight is the Supreme Court Justice.
2012-2013 Junior High Football Team

to stay involved in athletics as I continue to enjoy going to sporting events and staying
involved the local sport scene. What I love most about my career is helping people not
only now, but long into the future to make good decisions.
Mr. O’Connell
This past July I had the opportunity to attend the Mickelson Exxonmobil Teachers Academy in
Jersey City, New Jersey (July 22-27). This was a once in a life time opportunity for me. I applied
for this academy last May and was notified in March that I was selected out of 1500 applicants.
The Mickelson ExxonMobil Teachers’ Academy is an innovative five-day professional development program which helps middle school science educators implement research-based instructional strategies to engage students in science and math inquiry learning. Since 2005, the Academy has worked
with close to 3,000 teachers and school leaders with the objective of making a significant contribution to reinforcing the science and math education of middle school students. This academy instructed me for 48 contact
hours on how to combine math and science concepts into effective lessons.

ends”. They were hand‐picked by Beatle original George Harrison’s sister, Louise. She has an organization called “Keep Music Alive In the Schools” which involves go‐
ing in to schools and giving music students a “hands‐on experience”. Some students will be involved in performing instrumentally and vocally. Others will help with lights and sound. I believe it should be an amazing experience for everyone. To find out more about the “Liverpool Legends”, check them out on You Tube or at their website ‐ liverpoollegends.com/ There will be a concert in the Chester Area School Gymnasium on Tuesday evening, November 20, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are on sale and are available from HS Band Students. There are reserved seat tickets in the office. Reserved tickets are $30 and General Admission are $25. 7 Cereal, & Toast, Juice, Milk
