Classes begin Monday, August 29, 2016 School District of Osceola OMS PARTICIPATES IN SOARING DISCRETIONARY GRANT COLLABORATIVE Osceola Middle School will be participating in the SOARING Discretionary Grant Collaborative again this year. The focus of this grant is to advance academic outcomes related to literacy for students with disabilities. Our school is part of a broader state effort to improve results for these students. By partnering with CESA 11, the collaborative project provides leadership, professional development, and technical assistance services to all local qualifying schools within each CESA. It also assists in improving communication and leadership capacity in the area of special education to ensure that educators have the knowledge and skills that promote best practices for students with disabilities. The local school based team is comprised of principal, Dr. Rebecca Styles, Director of Special Education Dawn Western, Director of Instruction Jane Maki, Reading Specialist Jennifer Carlson, Special Education teachers Amy Gillespie and Laurel Feldt, and school psychologist Carson McEvoy. The team began taking a closer look at reading performance two years ago by looking at state test results, MAP scores, formative assessment data, attendance and mobility trends. Using this information the team identified areas in need of improvement and created an action plan to submit as part of the grant application. OMS was awarded, for the third time, a $7500 grant. Using the dollars from this grant, the team created decision making rules for using student achievement data and determining who needs additional support. They learned to use AIMSweb for progress monitoring. Read 180 materials and training were purchased that included ongoing work with an instructional coach. A writing intervention was selected and teachers participated in multiple professional development opportunities connected to writing. The team also saw the need for increasing the amount of material available in special education classroom libraries. An additional focus was on providing a smoother transition for students with disabilities from intermediate school to middle school to high school through spring meetings with special education teachers, school psychologists, guidance counselors, and administrators. Last spring all middle school students participated in the Wisconsin Forward exam. Our students with disabilities have typically been identified on the state assessment as being below the state average in reading achievement. This year all three grade levels saw an increase in the number of students achieving above the state average. We are excited about these results and look forward to another year of working towards a more coordinated, systematic approach for improving outcomes for students with disabilities.

The WI National Park Service taught us a lot about our area and the plants and animals that live here. We enjoyed visiting the Osceola Public Library and Mill Pond Park for fun activities on Wednesday afternoons. The Saint Croix Falls Cinema was also a frequently visited place for us! We kick backed, relaxed, and enjoyed a few good movies!! Some other interesting activities we experienced were: knitting, a honey bees presentation (tasted raspberry honey sticks), launching rockets, swimming, casting animal prints, and Bingo. Thiel’s American Pie kept us fed every Friday! No packing lunches on Fridays at Kids’ Klub. You’d be amazed at how much pizza we can put away! We ventured outside of our area a little bit too. We explored the Mill City Museum and the Twins’ Target Field in Minneapolis. We took in some big city sites with great enthusiasm and excitement!! Wrap Around care available this Fall! The Kids’ Klub program keeps growing and adding valuable services for our families. This fall Kids’ Klub is adding a Preschool Wrap Around program at the Elementary School. The PreK students will be able to access Kids’ Klub care opposite of their PreK session.

Joleen received her Bachelor Degree from UW Superior and her Master’s Degree from UW LaCrosse before joining the faculty in Osceola. She and her husband Rich have three children: son Rick, his wife Angie, and my grandson Warren; son Robb and girlfriend Mary; daughter Randi and husband Nathan. As Joleen reflects on her career in Osceola, she states, “I will miss every single child’s smile and unique personality. All of my ‘Funky Bunches’ have blessed me with wonderful memories I will cherish forever.” Some memories include Easter egg hunts and water fights when fourth grade was housed in the old high school. Joleen will also miss all of her supportive and encouraging colleagues and friends at OIS. The greatest thing she has learned throughout her career is summed up by a quote from the late Coach Pat Summit, “They will NEVER care how much you know until they know how much you care.” Joleen’s plans for retirement are to read, swim, fish, cheer for all my beloved Wisconsin teams, and spend more time with family, especially her wonderful grandson, Warren. “I have plans to volunteer at OIS, visit Lambeau Field, travel to the Tetons, and continue writing. Jerry Getschel Mr. Jerry Getschel retires after 20 years of service as Custodian in the Osceola School District. Jerry’s family includes his wife Jan, and four children: Nick, Jen, Sara, and Sam. He has three grandsons: Palmer, Graham, Camden, and another grandson on the way. What Jerry will miss most about working in the school district are the coworkers and especially the kids. “It’s been very interesting to learn from the kids “good and bad.” Jerry will be moving to Green Bay this month so he will also miss the friendships he has made while in Osceola. When asked about his favorite memory from Osceola, Jerry admits that there are too many to mention. However, what stands out the most are the state championships the district has attended including Boys Track, Girls Volleyball, Boys Basketball, and most recently awarded 2015 State Championship in Football.

Page 9 School District of Osceola CHANGES TO SCHOOL BUSES EFFECTIVE AUGUST 16 There are some important changes coming to school buses in Wisconsin starting in August. Effective August 16, 2016 school buses in Wisconsin that are newer than January 1, 2005 will now operate amber warning lights during their route cautioning motorists that they are approaching a school bus stop. When the bus is stopped, the driver will display the stop sign and red lights like they have in the past. Please know that anytime you approach a school bus that has its amber lights on, you need to be prepared to stop. Red lights and stop sign mean you need to stop and stayed stopped. Motorist are required to stop at least 20 feet from the school bus in any direction and remain stopped until the red lights and stop arm have been extinguished by the bus driver. We as school bus drivers have a great responsibility to safely load and unload school children each morning and afternoon and ask that you as motorists be patient and aware of school buses and students outside when they are stopped. The children we are transporting receive training on how to load, unload, and cross with the school bus. Sometimes they can make unpredictable decisions while crossing with the school bus. We need your help to stay stopped until we complete our stops and kids are in a safe place away from the roadway. A vehicle that approaches a school bus that is displaying flashing red or amber warning lights must: AMBER WARNING LIGHTS • Cautionary message that the bus will be coming to a stop and will be activating its RED warning lights. Traffic is allowed to bypass the school bus with caution. RED WARNING LIGHTS • Stop not less than 20 feet from the bus and remain stopped until the bus resumes motion or the operator extinguishes the flashing red warning lights. Failure to do so will result in a minimum of a $326.50 fine and 4 points. This law does not apply to vehicles driving in the opposite direction on a divided highway but does apply if no barrier is present on multilane street or highway. In Wisconsin—A school bus is a motor vehicle which carries 10 or more passengers in addition to the operator, or a motor vehicle painted with legally required school bus markings, glossy school bus yellow trimmed in black, for the purpose of transporting: • Pupils to or from a public school or a private school or pupils to or from a technical college when required. • Pupils to or from curricular or extracurricular activities • Pupils to or from religious instruction on days when school is in session. • Children with disabilities to or from an educational pro-gram approved by the department of public instruction. NOTE—A vehicle that approaches a stopped school bus that is displaying flashing red warning lights must stop, regardless if the stop arm is out or not (Ss. 346.48(1)). School buses equipped with only RED warning lights manufactured prior to 01/01/05 as specified in s.347.25 (2): • The operator shall actuate the lights at least 100 feet before stopping to load or unload pupils or other authorized passengers, and shall not extinguish the lights until loading or unloading is completed and persons who must cross the highway are safely across. School buses equipped with flashing RED and AMBER warning lights manufactured on or after 01/01/05 as specified in s.347.25 (2): • The operator shall actuate the flashing amber warning lights at least 300 feet before stopping in a 45 mile per hour or greater speed zone or at least 100 feet before stopping in a less than 45 mile per hour speed zone School bus operators USE of flashing WARNING lights: a. At the point of loading or unloading, the operator , while bringing the bus to a stop, will extinguish the flashing amber warning lights (not applicable to red light equipped bus only), and actuate the flashing red warning lights. b.

To request a copy, please call the District Office at 715-294-4140. Annual Notices are based on recommendations from the WI Association of School Boards. Act 55 Pursuant to 2015 Wisconsin Act 55, section 120.12(13)(b) and sections 118.30 (1g)(a) of the state statute, the Osceola School District Board of Education provides instruction in courses consistent with statute and regulations of the Department of Public Instruction or other appropriate state agency. The Wisconsin State Standards are the first step in providing Osceola School District students with a high-quality education. It should be clear to every student, parent, and teacher what the standards of success are in every school. The goal of the standards is to provide the skills necessary so students are prepared for success in postsecondary education and the workforce. As per Osceola School District Board Policy 2210, the Board of Education recognizes its responsibility for the quality of the educational program of the schools. To this end, the curriculum shall be developed, evaluated, and adopted on a continuing basis and in accordance with a plan for curriculum growth established by the District Administrator. For purposes of this policy and consistent communication throughout the District, curriculum shall be defined as all the planned activities of the schools, including formal classroom instruction and out-of-class activity, both individual and group, necessary to accomplish the educational goals of the District. The Board directs that the curriculum of this District provides instruction in courses consistent with statute and regulations of the Department of Public Instruction or appropriate State agency. Each such innovative program must be consistent with Chapter 118 and appropriate State regulations and receive the approval of the Board. On August 5, 2015, the Osceola School District Board of Education approved the Wisconsin Model Academic Standards for the 2015-2016 school year. These standard are available at www.osceola.k12.wi.us. In addition, the District provides a copy of the school’s accountability report that is published by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) located on our district website www.osceola.k12.wi.us. • Osceola Elementary School -- Exceeds Expectations ~Per Accountability Report • Osceola Intermediate School -- Exceeds Expectations ~Per Accountability Report • Osceola Middle School -- Exceeds Expectations ~Per Accountability Report • Osceola High School -- Exceeds Expectations ~Per Accountability Report Pursuant to 2015 Wisconsin Act 55 section 118.57 of the state statute, The Osceola School District offers the following educational options. • Full-Time Open Enrollment • Youth Options Program • Course Options • Valley Christian School • Special Needs Voucher Program • Virtual Schools Privacy Act and Non-discrimination Statements Privacy Act Statement: This explains how we will use the information you give us: The Richard B.

If you are personally aware of or are acquainted with any children who may qualify according to the above criteria, the School District of Osceola provides the following assurances to parents of homeless children: • The local district staff person (liaison) for homeless children is Peggy Weber, Principal of the Osceola Elementary School. • There shall be immediate enrollment and school participation, even if educational and medical records and proof of residency are not available. • All educational opportunities and related opportunities for homeless students (preschool to age 21), including unaccompanied youth, shall be the same as for the general student population. • Enrollment and transportation rights, including transportation to the school of origin shall be possible. “School of origin” is defined as the school the child attended when permanently housed or when last enrolled. • Written explanation of why a homeless child is places other than in a school of origin or school requested by the parent, with the right to appeal within the local dispute resolution process. • Meaningful opportunities for parents to participate in the education of their children. These shall include: special notices of events, parent-teacher conferences, newsletters, and access to student records. Please contact Peggy Weber, homeless liaison for the School DIstrict of Osceola at 715-294-3457 for additional information about homeless issues. 2009 Wisconsin Act 95 Indoor Environmental Quality Management Plan The Osceola School District can use a website, student handbook, local newspaper, or other appropriate means to notify students, staff, and the community that the district has an IEQ management plan in place. This annual publication is part of the Osceola School District’s communication plan within the IEQ Management plan. The Osceola School District would like to inform staff, students, parents, and the public of the district’s indoor environmental quality (IEQ) management plan. The plan was initially developed in 2013 and is reviewed as necessary. The plan was developed as deemed appropriate for the district. Questions and concerns should be directed to the IEQ Coordinator. Copies of the plan are available at the district office for a fee. The district office is located at 331 Middle School Drive, Osceola, WI, 54020. Asbestos Notification In compliance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), this is notice that the Osceola School District has an Asbestos Management Plan at the school district office. The plan is available for inspection by the public, parents, and district employees. The district performs six month periodic surveillance of asbestos in January and July and full re-inspections every three years. For more information please contact the district office. Notice of Child Find Activity The school district is required to locate, identify, and evaluate all children, with disabilities, including children with disabilities attending private schools in the school district, and homeless children. The process of locating, identifying, and evaluating children with disabilities is known as child find. The school district conducts the following child find activities each year. This notice informs parents of the records the school district will develop and maintain as part of its child find activities. This notice also informs parents of their rights regarding any records developed. The school district gathers personally identifiable information on any child who participates in child find activities. Parents, teachers, and other professionals provide information to the school related to the child’s academic performance, behavior, and health. This information is used to determine whether the child needs special education services. Personally identifiable information directly related to a child and maintained by the school is a pupil record. Pupil records include records maintained in any way including, but not limited to, computer storage media, video and audiotape, film, microfilm, and microfiche. Records maintained for personal use by a teacher and not available to others and records available only to persons involved in the psychological treatment of a child are not pupil records. The school district maintains several classes of pupil records. •”Progress records” include grades, courses the child has taken, the child’s attendance record, immunization records, required lead screening records, and records of school extra-curricular activities. Progress records must be maintained for at least five years after the child ceases to be enrolled. •””Behavioral records” include such records as psychological tests, personality evaluations, records of conversations, written statements relating specifically to the pupil’s behavior, tests relating specifically to achievement or measurement of ability, physical health records other than immunization and lead screening records, law enforcement officers’ records, and other pupil records that are not “progress records.” Law enforcement officers’ records are maintained separately from other pupil records. Behavioral records may be maintained for no longer than one year after the child graduates or otherwise ceases to be enrolled, unless the parent specifies in writing that the records may be maintained for a longer period of time. The Page 24 Chieftain News school district informs parents when pupil records are no longer needed to provide special education. At the request of the child’s parents, the school district destroys the information that is no longer needed. •”Directory data” includes the student’s name, address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, photographs, degrees and awards received, and the name of the school most recently previously attended by the student. •”Pupil physical health records” include basic health information about a pupil, including the pupil’s immunization records, an emergency medical card, a log of first aid and medicine administered to the pupil, an athletic permit card, a record concerning the pupil’s ability to participate in an education program, any required lead screening records, the results of any routine screening test, such as for hearing, vision or scoliosis, and any follow-up to the test, and any other basic health information, as determined by the state superintendent. Any pupil record relating to a pupil’s physical health that is not a pupil physical health record is treated as a patient health care record under sections 146.81 to 146.84, Wisconsin Statutes. Any pupil record concerning HIV testing is treated as provided under section 252.15, Wisconsin Statutes. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and section 118.125, Wisconsin Statutes, afford parents and students over 18 years of age (“eligible students”) the following rights with respect to education records: •The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of receipt of the request. Parents or eligible students should submit to the school principal a written request that identifies the records(s) they wish to inspect. The principal will make arrangements for access and notify the parent or eligible student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. The school district will comply with the request without unnecessary delay and before any meeting about an individualized education program, or any due process hearing, and in no case more than 45 days after the request has been made. If any record includes information on more than one child, the parents of those children have the right to inspect and review only the information about their child or to be informed of that specific information. Upon request, the school district will give a parent or eligible student a copy of the progress records and a copy of the behavioral records. Upon request, the school district will give the parent or eligible student a list of the types and locations of education records collected, maintained, or used by the district for special education. The school district will respond to reasonable requests for explanations and interpretations of the records. A representative of the parent may inspect and review the records. •The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the parent or eligible student believes is inaccurate or misleading. Parents or eligible students may ask the Osceola School District to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the school principal, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the district decides not to amend the record, the district will notify the parent or eligible student of the decision and the right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the parent or eligible student when notified of the right to a hearing. •The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information in the student’s education records, except to the extent that federal and state law authorize disclosure without consent. The exceptions are stated in 34 CFR 99.31, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act regulations; Sec. 9528, PL107-110, No Child Left Behind Act of 2001; and section 118.125(2)(a) to (m) and sub. (2m), Wisconsin Statutes. One exception that permits disclosure without consent is disclosures to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the district as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a person serving on the school board; a person or company with whom the district has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. Upon request, the district discloses education records without consent to officials of another school district in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. Also the district discloses “directory data” without consent, unless the parent notifies the district that it may not be released without prior parental consent. •The right to file a complaint with the U. S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the District to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, S.W., Washington, DC 20202-4605. Notice to Parents and Individuals Required to Make Referrals Upon request, the school district is required to evaluate a child for eligibility for special education services. A request for evaluation is known as a referral. When the district receives a referral, the district will appoint an Individualized Education Program (IEP) team to determine if the child has a disability, and if the child needs special education services. The district locates, identifies, and evaluates all children with disabilities who are enrolled by their parents in private (including religious) schools, elementary schools and secondary schools located in the school district. A physician, nurse, psychologist, social worker, or administrator of a social agency who reasonably believes a child brought to him or her for services is a child with a disability has a legal duty to refer the child, including a homeless child, to the school district in which the child resides. Before referring the child, the person making the referral must inform the child’s parent that the referral will be made. Others, including parents, who reasonably believe a child is a child with a disability may also refer the child, including a homeless child, to the school district in which the child resides. Referrals must be in writing and include the reason why the person believes the child is a child with a disability. A referral may be made by contacting Carson McEvoy, School Psychologist, School District of Osceola, at 715-294-4180, or by writing him at 1029 Oak Ridge Drive, Osceola, WI 54020.

Cost for each mom and daughter(s) is $25 Every relationship exists largely in communication and the mother/tween-daughter relationship is no different. And moms, just as we feel it’s hard to talk with our girls at times, they feel the same way about talking with us. And let’s be real, sometimes we all feel like we’re talking at each other instead of with each other. In this workshop, learn more about how and why we communicate the way that we do. Learning more about where our communication comes from enables us to learn new ways to express ourselves without meltdowns, shouting and eyerolls (and not just from the tweens). Use these new insights to engage in some age-relevant topics including puberty, healthy body habits, self-care, wellness and nutrition and peer relationships. This relationship-building workshop will provide the tools needed to have meaningful, connected communication that will help strengthen the very special mother/daughter bond. The recommended ages for this workshop are girls in grades 5-8. Register with Community Ed by November 1.
