September 2015 - Badin High School

September 2015
September 2015
Dear Parents and Students,
It is always exciting to start a new school year. Having the opportunity to work with our returning students
again and welcoming a new group of freshmen is always special. This year we welcomed in 146 freshmen to
the Badin Family. Our senior class did a terrific job of making the Class of 2019 feel special. Over 120 seniors
arrived at school at 7:50 a.m. on their last day of summer to cheer in the freshmen. The senior leadership this
group has already demonstrated is outstanding. The Class of 2016 is our 50th graduation class and they
embody the qualities and characteristics that we strive to develop in all our classes. Thank you to the class of
2016.
This year we have made a few changes in our policies and procedures. Each change was developed with
faculty in-put and move Badin forward. We have instituted a homeroom period which will lay the foundation for
a school-wide mentoring program and is the first step towards a modified house system. Homeroom starts at
7:30. Homerooms are single gender and consist of 4 to 5 students from each grade. Students will remain in
the same homeroom each year at Badin. This will allow our upper classmen the opportunity to provide
leadership and guidance to the underclassmen and build a stronger sense of community within all the grade
levels. There will be activities the homerooms will do throughout the school year as part of this program. Also,
all forms and paperwork will be turned in to their homeroom teacher. The only exception is a note to leave
early from school. A student needs to bring that note directly to the office in order for us to issue a pass to the
student.
We have also restructured our discipline system. We have used a demerit system up to this point which has
been adjusted over the years. However, the demerit system did not seem to fit our school culture at this time.
Therefore, the decision was made to switch our discipline system to a referral system. Each teacher will utilize
a classroom behavior system in their classroom. Teachers will have a variety of options to use as needed if a
student misbehaves. A few options a teacher could use are a teacher detention before school, during lunch or
after school. There are certain incidences that would result in an office referral – cell phones violation, blatant
disrespect of a student or faculty member, improper use of an iPad to name a few. In terms of cell phones, all
cell phones are to be put in their lockers and turned off during the day. If you need to contact your student,
please call the office and we will rely the message to your student. Please see the handbook on-line for more
detail on our discipline system.
As a reminder, if you are dropping your student off in the morning please be sure to pull up to the curb. Do not
drop a student off away from the curb where he/she would need to cross in front of traffic. Also, please be
careful pulling back into the flow of traffic. There are other parents pulling through, along with student drivers
and busses. If you are picking your student up in the afternoon, the front circle is closed from 2:10 to 2:40 for
the busses. We have over 100 grade school students that transfer busses here and we need to provide a safe
location for them to move from bus to bus. We would recommend you wait until after 2:40 to arrive. This will
allow you to avoid the busses.
As you are aware we have put new restrictions on the school iPads. This will allow the iPads to be used for
their intended purpose – as an educational tool. Even with the new restrictions on the iPads, many students
have other devices that allow them to be on social media apps and websites. We strongly encourage you to
monitor your student’s social media accounts. We continue to stress responsible use of social media to our
students and we thank you in advance for your support with this issue. If you have social media accounts, we
encourage you to follow Badin High School. We post information on a regular basis and use our Twitter and
Facebook accounts as a way to communicate information quickly. Our two main Twitter accounts are @Badinhs
and @RAMSSPORTS. There are numerous Twitter accounts for the different sports and clubs.
For new parents, you will receive an access code to our Parent Portal which will allow you to view your student’s
grades. These will be emailed to you by September 4th. If you do not receive your code by then, please
contact the school.
Once again, you will have three ways to add money to your student’s cafeteria account. The easiest way is to
send a check or cash to school with your student to turn into the cafeteria before school each morning from
7:00 a.m. to 7:25 a.m. You can also add money through auto-deduct from your bank account or by using a
credit card.
Be sure to check out our newly designed website – www.badinhs.org . I would like to thank Mr. Dave Gretz
and Mrs. Angie Gray for all their hard work and efforts in redesigning the site.
We are excited about this school year. For the 5th year in a row our enrollment has increased. This is a
testament to our faculty, staff, students and parents who make Badin a terrific place. We understand the
sacrifice that our parents make and are very grateful to you for making your child’s education at Badin a
priority.
We also need to thank our very generous donors. The financial support of our donors makes a Badin education
a possibility for many of our students. Our Annual Fund Drive is a critical aspect of our financial aid program.
Thank you to those who have donated in the past and will contribute in the future. Your contribution goes a
long way in helping our students reach their personal best, live their faith and lead the future.
As always, if you have questions, concerns or suggestions feel free to contact me or stop in and see me.
God Bless,
Brian D. Pendergest
Principal
Dear Badin Parents,
With excitement, energy and enthusiasm Badin students began another school year on August 20th. As usual
our seniors came in the day before to welcome our new freshmen students and work with them in small
groups after lunch. The fact these Badin seniors gave up their last day of summer to be a part of this important
tradition says a lot about the caliber of young people we have attending Badin High School.
Last year marked my first at Badin High School and my 31st in education. Last year was one of the best years
I’ve had in the field and I’m looking forward to another great year in 2015. I want to remind parents of our
ACT prep program available for free via the Naviance program. While most of our juniors will not take the test
until spring, now is the time to begin preparation. The test prep program will run the students through a
diagnostic assessment first and then design a program to prepare the students and address deficits prior to
admission of the ACT. Students who start in the beginning of the year will have a program design of 30 to 60
minutes a week in online practice and assessment. The longer students wait to begin the process the more
work they will need to complete prior to testing.
Students can also access ACT test preparation via Khan Academy online and through a wide variety of other
web sites that offer free and fee based test prep programs.
Badin students continue to excel in college admissions, scholarships and financial aid packages offered to our
graduating seniors. However, each year the competition gets more difficult as more and more students access
test prep programs in order to improve their scores. Remember, the extra ACT prep work students complete
also positively impacts their classroom performance and grades. Our goal is for all Badin students to take
advantage of the Prep Me Program for the ACT test prep this year. Badin students who have done the
program in the past saw their scores rise and their confidence increase approaching test day.
Sincerely,
Chris Mate

Welcome back! The school is filled with life once again. Badin High was very pleased to
welcome 146 members of the Class of 2019 on Wednesday, August 19. Our seniors were out in
force to make them feel good about joining the Ram family – more than 100 seniors were on the
front porch to salute the newcomers that morning. Welcome freshmen, new students and their
families. Badin is a special place and we’re glad you are a part of it! Now, we’re excited to
encourage potential students to join the Class of 2020.
We are here to help YOU, however we can. What do we do? The Offices of Admissions
& Marketing help Badin move forward, including student recruitment and admissions, media relations, marketing, special events, such as Open House, the student Ambassador Program – and
whatever else might come across our plates. The Advancement Office (Kelli Kurtz, Ginny Bauer &
Patti Gray) are in charge of fundraising and all that it entails. Kim Graham is our Director of
Alumni and oversees alumni relations, the Hall of Honor and the iBid for Badin Online Auction.
Attention all freshmen and new students who are interested in the Ambassador
Program, we will be recruiting new ambassadors in mid-September. Students who are interested
can sign up for a personal interview after Labor Day in the Advancement Office. (Interview dates
will be announced and held in late September) by Ambassador Officers, Mr. Allen & Mrs. Gray –
they last approx. 3-5 minutes and help us to select the right people for the job! We are looking for
students who are enthusiastic about Badin, self confident and outgoing.) Encourage your son or
daughter to participate! Student ambassadors are needed for many important events at Badin
– we need their help!

If you have an 8th grade student who is interested in Badin, or know of a family with an 8th grader who would

their high school of choice:

Mother Teresa
Sacred Heart
St. Peter In Chains
St. Ann
St. Joseph Consolidated
Immanuel Lutheran
Our guests have an enriching and fun-filled day … they attend classes, eat a complimentary lunch in the Badin cafeteria and end the day with a Badin ROCKS concert.
Friday, Oct. 2 has also been designated a College Visit Day for seniors, who will not have school that day. This gives
them the opportunity to make college visits … and make room for our 8th Grade Day guests. If you know of an 8th grader
who will be visiting that day, ask them about their experience and help us welcome them to the Badin family!
Stay connected throughout

Office Of Advancement
Supporting Badin
2014-15 Annual Fund
Thank you!
Thanks to the generosity of our alumni, friends, parents, board, faculty
and staff for supporting the 2014-15 Annual Fund.
All names of those who gave will be listed in the 2014-15 Annual Report,
published online in late fall.
The Badin Annual Fund is the cornerstone of all fundraising for Badin High School. Without it, Badin would
struggle to survive. Tuition does not cover the full cost of educating each student. This cost is much higher than
what we can reasonably charge in tuition—and what Badin families can afford. The Badin Annual Fund helps fund
this tuition gap so that the Badin tradition can continue as we profoundly shape the way students Think Achieve
Serve and Lead. This is why Badin depends on the Annual Fund each year. The most significant contribution any
of us can make to Badin is to the Annual Fund.
Donations can be made online—www.BadinHS.org under Supporting
Badin or via cash or check (made to Badin High School).
You can also make your Annual Fund donation in honor of a special event
or person, a milestone, or in memory of a loved one.
Ways you can support Badin and advertise your
company at the same time!
 Join other Badin supporters as a member of the Rams Rally Corporate Partner Program. Gain exposure to all
current Badin families on a monthly basis and the Annual Report, distributed to all in the Badin community.
More information with detailed benefits in this newsletter. Support levels range from $250 through $5000 to
fit a variety of budgets. Contact Angie Gray ([email protected]) for more information.
 Become a Scoreboard Advertiser in Mulcahey Gym on our NEW digital scoreboard and/or in the Pfirman
Family Activity Center. Contact Geoff Melzer at [email protected] for more information.

From the Finance Department…
It is hard to believe that we are back to school and it is already September. Hopefully everyone had a great
summer and is ready for a great 2015-2016 school year.
With that being said, the finance department would like to make sure that all families have their FACTS account
set up. August was the first month that payments started going through FACTS. If you have any questions in
regards to that process or need assistance please feel free to reach out to Renee Brock with your FACTS
questions.
Just a reminder to all families that as we begin the back to school process, there is a lot of paperwork that gets
filled out and new supplies for the school year that are charged through your account. Generally those invoices
are posted to your account rather quickly, however, with so many coming through August and September, it
may take a little longer to post those to your students account. Please make sure to review all invoices posted
to your account and let the finance department know if something is not accurate.
For those families that are returning to Badin, the process through FACTS is the same as last year. To all
returning and new families we want to make sure that you are receiving the emails letting you know if there
have been changes through your account or the 2 week notice that funds are going to be withdrawn from your
financial account. If you are not receiving these notices through your email or text, please contact our office so
we can make sure that we have the most current information in our system.
As always please feel free to contact Jennifer Fabry-York or Renee Brock with any of your financial questions at
(513) 863-3993.
CAFETERIA SIGN-UP…
Parents – Do you still need to sign up for cafeteria duty? If so, please contact Kathy Lysaght in the cafeteria at
863-3993 ext. 129 Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Thank You!
Appropriate Type of Lanyards
There seems to be some confusion on the type of lanyard that is permitted to be worn with the Badin security/lunch
badge.
First, the school-issued security/lunch badge is considered part of the student uniform and must be worn and
visible at all times during the school day. Badin has provided a lanyard for this purpose but most any type of
lanyard may be worn as long as it would be considered school appropriate.
In short, if the lanyard contains any wording, image or otherwise, that would be considered not school
appropriate then it is not permitted. Any other type is fine to wear for a student to be considered in uniform.
Please address any questions or concerns to Mr. Imhoff.

From the Art Department…
Art III & IV have started the year by studying the works of artist, Jane Davies. They are creating large scale
non-representational, mixed-media works on paper.
adin Studio
Badin Studio is for all students who enjoy creating. You may work on a class project, an individual art project
or craft, or a group project or movie. We will participate in a community project, for which you may receive
service hours. We will meet in room 025 on Wednesdays until 3:30 pm. The first Studio is September 9. See
Mrs. Daniels for questions.
Medications at School / Field Trips
From the School Nurse …
Please take this opportunity to review Badin High School’s Medication Policy & Procedure. We follow
Hamilton City Schools Medication Policy & Procedure which was adopted with the safety of all Badin students
in mind and also follows Ohio Revised Code 3313.713 and Nursing Law. Read Badin’s Medication Policy at
http://50.62.22.19/pdfs/1314_Medication_Policy.pdf
Before Medication can be administered at school a Medication Permit with both parental and
physician signature must be on file in the School Clinic. This is for all medications; prescription and over the
counter. Here is a link to the School Medication Permit
http://50.62.22.19/pdfs/PERMITFORDISPENSINGPRESC.pdf It can also be found, at this time, on Badin’s
website under : Family / Health Services http://50.62.22.19/healthservices.html
It is not permissible for students to carry medication to, from or during school (unless they have an
order from a physician that specifically states they may self-carry an Inhaler, Epi-Pen and Diabetic supplies). If
you have additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the Nurse at school. Thank you
for your help in keeping all Badin students safe.
Thank You,
Melanie Schmitt RN, BSN

Has your student athlete signed up with FinalForms as required?
We are very excited that the Badin Athletic Department has partnered with FinalForms, an
on-line program which will enable you and your student to complete & file MOST athlete
forms electronically. FinalForms is immediately available for all Ram athletes. The ONLY form
that you are still required to actually print, complete, and file in the Athletic Department, is
the actual OHSAA Physical form. The physical form must be completed by the doctor and by
law we are required to have a signed copy on file. Once your student’s physical is received by
the athletic department we will input the expiration date into FinalForms and then you
will receive automatic notifications when your student’s forms need to be updated. Click on
the Parent Registration guide to get started in FinalForms. This link is also available on the
Badin athletic web pages.
We are asking that ALL student-athletes (grades 9-12) use FinalForms. Even if
your student’s current physical paperwork does not expire until after the new
school year begins, please register @https://badin-oh.finalforms.com now and
electronically complete all the forms!
Thank you for your assistance in streamlining our paperwork process in the Athletic Dept.
