Connecting Chippewa Falls Middle School with Families and the Community
April 2016
Dear Cardinal Parents / Guardians:
I hope that you and your family had an
opportunity to spend quality time together
over the recent Spring Break and holiday
weekend! We are certainly excited to enter
the final stretch of this school year and the
spring season with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
During this time of year, there are multiple opportunities for us to
gather information from students, parents, staff, and community
members through various events, surveys, forums, and assessments,
so we can continue to meet the needs of our learning community.
It was great to see so many of you at our parent teacher
conferences! We always love the opportunity to share your child’s
growth with you at this valuable event. Thank you for making time
to meet with your child’s teachers!
It was also nice to see so many of you at the Grading for Learning
forum on Monday, April 4, where parents were able to learn about
the amazing work our staff has done surrounding best assessment
practices in education and to get a sneak peek at the standard-based
report card we will be utilizing next year to communicate to you and
your child about academic and lifelong learner characteristic
progress. If you missed this event, no worries, a repeat session will
take place at our Back-to-School Night at the start of the 2016/17
school year.
Your child had the opportunity to take the district student
engagement survey in March. The information gathered from this
survey, provides valuable student perception data that helps us
establish goals and action plans over the course of a school-year.
This year for instance, based on student feedback, we focused our
JAR activities in Teacher Advisory on respectful relationships and
planned more school-wide celebrations, per our students’ request.
The annual Parent Satisfaction Survey will be conducted this spring
as well. Please be sure to share your voice with us through the
survey when you receive the link. Your valuable input allows us to
better serve your needs. Based on last years’ survey, efforts have
been made to improve our communication to you about your child’s
progress at school.
Our students in grades 6-8 will be participating in the Wisconsin
Forward state assessment during the spring testing window that
occurs in April and May. Our school is scheduled to take the
Wisconsin Forward assessment during that time and we will test our
students by grade level teams. An Infinite Campus messenger will be
sent with the specific dates and times that your child will be testing
with their Teacher Advisory class as we move closer to the testing
window.
The Wisconsin Forward assessment tests students in the areas of
th
English-Language Arts and mathematics in grades 6-8 and our 8
grade students will be assessed in the areas of social studies and
science as well. One or more subtests may be administered daily
during the identified time-frame and it is very important that your
son or daughter be in school during this time. Students not in
school on the scheduled testing days will be scheduled to make-up
the tests at the end of the month.
The Wisconsin Forward assessment measures the knowledge and
skills your student(s) should have acquired by the time they reach
each grade level. Please encourage your son or daughter to take the
test seriously and to do the best they can. The results of these tests
will help school staff make determinations or placement in classes to
best support your student.
We will conduct our third and final needs-based assessment the first
two weeks in May. Your child will take the Scholastic Reading
Inventory as the AIMS Web math and reading assessments. The
results from these assessments will help us to chart growth of each
of our students and allows us to make appropriate academic
program decisions for your child.
Finally, your child will have the opportunity to take part in the
Wisconsin Youth Risk Behavior Survey the first week in May. This
survey has been developed so youth can tell us what they do that
may affect their overall health and well-being. The information they
provide will be used to develop better health education and
programming for students in the Chippewa Falls Area Unified School
District and community. Please look for more information about this
survey in the next few weeks.
As we build our strategic continuous improvement plans around all
of the information gathered from these sources, please be assured
that we will celebrate our successes as a learning community with
our students and families prior to the end of the school year!

That’s how we improve.” Bill Gates

Jaylyn “Inéz” Blaeser is Señora Arendt’s selection for
the March Spanish
Student of the Month in
the World Language
Department. Inéz enters
the class every day with
a comment or question
in Spanish! She is willing
to take on any task and
encourages others in
class to participate. She raises her hand for almost every
question and makes the class environment and
conversations more exciting and insightful. Inéz has a
passion for expanding her vocabulary and seeks out
opportunities to use it during and outside of class. Inéz
is a natural leader who is able to motivate others! ¡Eres
fenomenal, Inéz!
Anthony “Antonio” Plechacek is Señora Arendt’s
selection for the March Spanish Student of the Month
in the World Language Department. Antonio brings so
much energy and excitement to the class each day with
his positive attitude. He challenges himself each day to
incorporate more target language into his
conversations. One of Antonio’s strongest
characteristics is his way of bringing a different
perspective to our class conversations. Antonio will be
attending Concordia Language Villages in April and
there is no doubt that he will be one of the strongest
participants and representatives of CFMS.¡Buen trabajo,
Antonio!
Kailee “Sofía” Lien is Señorita Wolner’s selection for the
March Spanish Student of the Month in the World
Language Department. Sofía does excellent work in
class! She is very skilled in writing and reading in the
Spanish language. Sofía is a leader in her participation,
positive attitude and collaboration with others. She
demonstrates her passion for learning each day. Sofía
pays close attention in class and enjoys catching
Señorita Wolner when she says the word of the week.
¡Maravilloso, Sofía!
Creative Engaged & Outstanding
Congratulations to the following students who earned
the title of CEO by the unified arts department for their
outstanding effort in the classroom this past month.
Ty “Juan” Wiberg is Señorita Wolner’s selection for the
March Spanish Student of the Month in the World
Language Department. Juan regularly shows his interest
in learning Spanish and does so with a smile. He offers
his ideas and works well with others. Juan shows
leadership when he brings a determined and willing
attitude to class each day. He demonstrates
responsibility in visiting Señorita Wolner to catch up on
work quickly. Juan truly makes Spanish class a better
place! ¡Sensacional, Juan!
Kyjuan Gospodinoff has been
selected as the outstanding
agriculture student for March.
Kyjuan used his prior knowledge to ask further
questions in class! He specifically asked about the
animal by-product bone meal. When students ask
questions that have sparked from class topics, the
learning is extended for all students. Great job Kyjuan
and keep asking questions!  Ms. James
Adriana “Angèle” Stephenson is Mademoiselle
Hemauer’s selection for the March French Student of
the Month in the World Language Department. Angèle
is a very proactive student in class. She shows up to
class early to ask questions, participates often during
class activities and shows leadership qualities by
working well with others. In addition to learning in class,
she is very motivated to learn more about the language
and culture outside of class. In April, Angèle will be
participating in the Concordia Languages Villages with
her classmates where she will spend an entire weekend
immersed in the French language. Formidable, Angèle !
The Art Department would like
to recognize both Josie Harvey
and Alaina Steinmetz.These
two young ladies don't waste
any time developing ideas once
a new project is presented. They also have strong
collaborative spirits; giving feedback and helping peers
comes natural to these two. Both girls invest extra time
on their projects so their personal expectations for
craftsmanship can be met. The artworks created by
Josie and Alaina stand out, we are proud to have you as
CFMS artists. Congratulations ladies!
Jaykob “Jacques” Hamman is Mademoiselle Hemauer’s
selection for the March French Student of the Month in
the World Language Department. Jacques is extremely
dedicated to learning the French language, which is
obvious by his high level of participation in class and his
work ethic during class activities. He goes above and
beyond to show his passion for the language and
culture by bringing French realia to class that he finds at
different shops around
town. Jacques’ positive
attitude and sense of
humor make class fun
and exciting for his
peers and teacher.
Incroyable, Jacques !
 Mrs. Van Den Heuvel
This month's Business Education
CEO goes to Evan Dennis for his
classroom leadership in Mr.
Burger's 7th grade Business Class.
His participation in class discussions
not only aid in review of material, but he helps make
the connection of content to real-world examples. By
doing so, he enables his peers to further their
understanding of the content. He goes above and
beyond when completing assignments and is always
willing to help out his fellow classmates. For these
reasons, Evan Dennis has earned this month's CEO
recognition. Congratulations Evan, keep up the good
work!  Mr. Burger

I nominate Theresa Nichols for the
CEO award this month. Theresa has
been a true pleasure to have in
class. She participates and acts as a
leader in her lab group. Her determination and passion
for learning will make her successful in anything she
pursues. Keep up the great work Theresa!
 Mrs. Parker
Noah Stewart applies his curiosity
and considerable attention span to
any task before him. Although

By instilling the habit of
saving at a young age,
offering positive
encouragement, and
providing financial
education, we can prepare
our community’s youngest
members for brighter
futures by helping them
grow into financially capable adults. Credit Union Strong
means having the money skills to embrace an awesome
future, and leaving your community better than you
found it. Of course, we realize the biggest influence on
anyone’s life is his or her parents. So, if you want to
start your kids on a path to
financial strength,
participating in Credit Union
Youth Month is a good start.
Royal Credit Union School
$ense will show youth how
to get Credit Union Strong™
and pump up their savings at
their credit union.
On Friday, April 29, all savers from Chippewa Falls
Middle School will have a chance to win a prize basket
filled with healthy treats and fun activities!
Remember the Chippewa Falls Middle School RCU
School $ense is open Fridays during lunches to help
your student develop good saving habits. If you have
any questions about the Royal Credit Union School
$ense program, please contact: Amanda Farnham at

Fuel Up your Child’s Game
Providing snacks that fuel up young athletes is a chance
to teach them about the proper way to get energy for
sports, while showing them how much you care. Snacks
serve several purposes for active kids, including:
 Provide energy to help working muscles power
through activity
 Supply fluids for hydration and keeping the
body cool
 Providing nutrients for growth and
development
 Promoting recovery after exercise
There are different snacks to meet different needs. You
can use this guide to help choose the best snacks for
game day.
After School Games:
A good after school snack provides quality
carbohydrates and protein for quick energy and a
satisfied stomach. Consider offering your children some
of these nourishing options:
 Fruited yogurt cups or tubes
 Peanut butter sandwich with fruit jam
 Turkey and/or cheese wraps cut into 1-inch
slices for easy finger food
 String cheese and mini pretzels
 Bottles of cold water or pitchers of cold water
with lemon
Weekend Morning Games:
Muscle fuel can be low after fasting overnight. If you’re
rushing out the door to make it to a morning game,
consider some quick breakfast foods that kids love and
can take on the go:
 Mini cinnamon-raisin bagel with cream cheese
 English muffin sandwich with a slice of ham and
cheese
 Greek yogurt with a variety of toppings
(granola, chopped almonds or walnuts, or dried
fruit)
 Yogurt smoothies in a variety of flavors
 Cup of milk with a baggie of cereal
 100 percent fruit juice box
After the Game:
Snacks after games should help to replace the muscle
fuel that was lost during exercise and replenish fluids
without ruining their appetite for the next meal.
9
Consider these options:
 Air-popped popcorn sprinkled with parmesan
cheese
 Low-fat chocolate milk
 Banana, orange slices, and/or apple slices
 Fig, blueberry, or strawberry bars
Providing snacks is a part of every parent’s job, so
choose what you make available to them wisely to
better help them succeed on the field, in the classroom,
and through life.

Educational Excellence
Eighth Grade social studies students are currently
working on an American
Indian project. This project
includes history, culture,
tribal sovereignty, and the
current status of American
Indian tribes of the United
States. Students are
researching, using relevant and reliable sources and will
organize their information in a clear format with visuals
to aid comprehension. Standards addressed with the
American Indian project include Hist-B.8.11, WHST 7,
and WHST 2B. Upcoming units will include Texas
Independence and the War with Mexico.
Seventh Grade social studies
classes have just finished a
unit on Germany and the
Alpine Countries with a
summative on reading maps
and interpreting graphs. Our
next unit is on France with a summative dealing with
why people revolt. Upcoming units will include Eastern
Europe, Russia and Northern Europe.
Latin America, our current focus of study in 6th grade,
stretches from Mexico in North America to the
southernmost tip of South America. The region has a
great variety of physical
and cultural contrasts.
Steamy tropical forests,
thundering waterfalls, cold mountain peaks, and
peaceful island beaches make up the physical features
of Latin America. The people who live there have a
diverse heritage, including European, African, and
Indian backgrounds. Although Spanish is common in
many of the countries, others such as Portuguese,
French, Dutch, English, and over 80 Indian languages
are spoken. Most of the people live along or near the
coastlines of the continent, and large urban areas such
as Buenos Aires are major centers of commerce.
Natural resources, such as rain forest vegetation and oil,
are important to the region’s economies. As we
progress through our unit, we will be examining Latin
America’s physical environment, history, and cultural
characteristics.
6th Grade:
Sixth graders have just completed the Ratios and Rates
(6.RP.3b & 3c) unit. Our next unit will be Integers.
Students will understand positive and negative numbers
and learn how to represent them on a number line and
coordinate plane. Students will also learn about
opposites and absolute value (6.NS.8). The unit that
follows will get us back into algebra and solving single
step equations.
7th Grade:
Seventh grade students just completed their scaledrawing unit where they
enlarged WWII flags, candy
bar wrappers, and shrunk
a classroom. Next, they
will solve a wide variety of
percent problems,
including those involving discounts, simple interest,
taxes, tips, and percent increase or decrease. Please
help your child do percent problems when you are out
shopping, giving a tip at a restaurant, and finding sales
tax on items. The last units in 7th grade math will focus
on Geometry and Probability and Statistics.
th
8 Grade:
In Pre-Algebra, students are studying Scientific
Notation. They are learning how to simplify expressions
with exponents, which directly leads into simplifying
expressions that are in scientific notation. Students will
be using the basic operations (add/subtract/multiply/divide)
to simplify an expression. Expect your student to be
taking their Scientific Notation Summative Assessment
the week of April 18. Please note that each team will be
testing on a different date due to the Wisconsin
Forward Exam.
For the rest of April, we will be studying the
Pythagorean Theorem. In this unit, students will learn
how to convert repeating decimals to a fraction, solve
square/cube roots, and find the missing side of a right
triangle. A tentative time- frame for the Pythagorean
Theorem Summative Assessment is the second week in
May. Again, if you have any questions or concerns,
please contact your student's Pre-Algebra teacher.
Algebra:
The last couple of months of 8th
grade Algebra will consist of the
study of quadratic equations, quadratic functions, and
rational functions. This content is perhaps the most
cognitively challenging of the year, so it is very
important for students to stay focused and to maintain
good study habits. As always, if students are in need of
additional help, please don't hesitate to ask!
As students look forward to next year at Chi-Hi, please
remember that our hope for 8th grade Algebra students
is for them to reach Calculus as a senior and hopefully
consider a post-secondary and career choice in a STEM
field. Encourage your student to continue their math
education throughout their career at Chi-Hi and
beyond!

Well…with the arrival of spring
and hopefully better weather
and road conditions, many
students will be bringing
bicycles to school. Parents,
please remind your children to ride safely, wear a
helmet, to park their bicycles in the racks that are
provided at the school and to lock up their bicycles, so
that they are not stolen.
The Chippewa Falls Police Department requires that all
bicycles owned by Chippewa Falls residents, to have a
city of Chippewa Falls Bicycle Registration sticker. This
sticker can be purchased for the lifetime of the bicycle
for $1.00. This sticker allows police officers to
determine the owner of the bicycle when found. In
addition, the serial number is logged and even if the
sticker is removed or unreadable, officers can still
determine the owner through the serial number.
This small non-expiring $1.00 fee can be very valuable
insurance to have if your bicycle is ever lost or stolen.
You do not need to bring your bicycle to the police
department to purchase the license. Simply bring the
make, model, height, color and serial number of the
bicycle(s), along with $1.00 for each bicycle, to the
Chippewa Falls Police Department weekdays from
7:30am to 4:30pm.
HOW ARE WE DOING?
Please take a moment to give us feedback about our
school! The Parent Satisfaction Survey is open April 4 –
April 29. We are proud of the work we continually do
here to improve. The feedback you give us will help us
in our planning. Thank you very much for your time and
feedback! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CFAUS

Poison Prevention Week was March 20-26. In 2013,
Poison Control Centers managed 3.1 million calls…that
averages out to almost 8,400 per day! The majority of
poisonings occurring in the home are accidental. Among
children, these things often cause poisonings:
 Medicines
 Painkillers
 Household cleaners
 Hydrocarbons (such as lamp oil, kerosene,
gasoline, lighter fluid)
 Plants
Most poisonings occur when parents or caregivers are
home, but not paying
attention. Be especially
careful when there is a
change in routine.
Holidays, visits to and
from relatives and other
special events put
children at greater risk.
Ways to Prevent Accidental Poisoning:
 Store medicine, cleaners, paints/varnishes and
pesticides in their original packaging in locked
cabinets or containers, out of sight and reach of
children
 Install a safety latch-that locks when you close
the door on child-accessible cabinets containing
harmful products
 Purchase and keep all medicines in containers
with safety caps. Discard unused medication
 Check the label each time you give a child
medicine to ensure proper dosage
 Never tell a child that medicine tastes like candy
 Never place poisonous products in food or drink
containers
 Keep coal, wood, or kerosene stoves in safe
working order
 Maintain working smoke and carbon monoxide
detectors
Treatment:
If your child is unconscious, not breathing or having
seizures due to poison contact or ingestion, call 911.
If your child has come in contact with poison, and
has mild or no symptoms, call your poison control
center at 1-800-222-1222.
12
Immediate Treatment Tips
Swallowed Poison: Remove item from the child and
have child spit out any remaining substance. Do not
make your child vomit!
Skin Poison: Remove the child’s clothes and rinse
the skin with lukewarm water for at least 15
minutes
Eye Poison: Flush the child’s eye by holding the
eyelid open and pouring a steady stream of room
temperature water into the inner corner.
Poisonous Fumes: Take the child outside or into
fresh air immediately. If child has stopped
breathing, start CPR and do not stop until the child
breathes or help arrives.
ILLNESS/ABSENCES: Please
call the attendance line
specific to your student in
the morning if your child is
to be absent and state why
he/she will not be
attending. Please be as specific as you can, as often
there are several “flu” viruses around at the same time.
If your child has been ill, he/she should be free of a
temperature over 100.8 degrees, without the use of
acetaminophen or ibuprofen, for 24 hours before
returning to school.
If your child is diagnosed with any of the following
communicable diseases please notify the school as soon
as possible: strep throat, chicken pox, impetigo,
scabies, head lice, pink eye, vomit/diarrhea illness and
Fifth’s Disease. The exclusion time for each is:







Strep Throat and Impetigo – 24 hours after
initial dose of antibiotic
Chicken Pox – 7 days or until lesions are crusted
over
Scabies/Ringworm – 24 hours after initial dose
of medication
Pink Eye (Conjunctivitis) – 24 hours after initial
dose of medication
Fifth’s Disease – exclusion at discretion of your
family doctor or until fever subsides
Vomit/Diarrhea – 24 hours after the last vomit
or diarrhea episode
Head lice-no live lice
PHY-ED RESTRICTIONS: If a student's physical activity
at school will be limited by injury or illness, a doctor’s
note is required. Students are expected to participate
fully in PE activities unless there is an exemption note.
 A medical problem limiting activity for more
than one class cycle (5 days) will require a
doctor's note. The doctor should indicate the
diagnosis and the length of time that physical
activity is restricted.
 If the physician requires that the student be
reevaluated before returning to PE, the
physician will need to issue another note stating
that the student has been cleared to
participate.
 A student with an obvious medical problem (i.e
cast or splint) will be required to have a note for
PE limitations.
ATTENTION PARENTS OF SOON TO BE 6th GRADERS:
The Wisconsin Student Immunization law requires a
Tdap, the adolescent combination vaccine that protects
against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping

these shots updated during the summer and turn in
your shot record to Health Services Office at the Middle
School. Please contact Nurse Julie or Joyce at 715-7262400, ext. 2207 if you have any questions.
Please remind your student
