The JHS PTSA has been hard at work readying plans for our winter and spring events, as well as preparing for the 2013-2014 school year. Our staff appreciation committee, volunteer coordinator, e-mail administrator, and senior scholarship committee will be especially busy in the next few months. The Wolf Tracks team will also be hard at work keeping us all up to date as we get closer to graduation and the end of the school year. March is sure to be a busy month! Our students will be busy charting their courses for next fall, and incoming freshmen will get a chance to meet with JHS staff and counselors as the evolution from middle school to high school begins. The good news for incoming freshmen is that they will be joining an incredible group of students putting forth hard work and dedication to be successful not only in their academics but also in the many extracurricular activities that Jackson has to offer. We look forward to welcoming the students and their families to our school community! March is also the month when we ask for your help to recognize outstanding volunteers, educators, and advocates. Nomination forms for annual PTSA awards—Golden Acorn (outstanding volunteer), Outstanding Educator, or Outstanding Advocate—are included in this newsletter and also will be posted on our PTSA website, http://www.jhsptsa.org. On Wednesday, March 6, the PTSA will be meeting at the Jackson High School Library at 7 p.m. Our agenda will include a presentation about class schedules from Assistant Principal Kevin Rohrich and a report from the Compassionate Schools Committee. We invite all of you to attend this meeting to learn about the PTSA spring activities and find ways to get in on the fun! Loran Bond and Mary Lou Evans JHS PTSA Co-Presidents WOLF TRACKS 2 March 2013 Principal ’s MESSAGE’: Dear Parents & Students, With spring around the corner, it is time to begin thinking about courses for next year, unbelievable as it may seem! The purpose of this letter is to share important and relevant scheduling information with you for the 2013-2014 school year. Jackson counselors began visiting classrooms February 25 regarding pre-registration for next school year. A complete list of pre-registration lesson dates can be found at the end of this letter. You and your student play a key role in the registration and master schedule process. Please take time to acquaint yourself with our course offerings, as this will provide the basis for important decisions you and your student will make together. When planning your course selections, consideration should be given to graduation requirements and post-high school goals class workload and student response to challenges outside commitments student ability and learning goals As a brief review, the number of students who select a particular course, graduation requirements, teacher availability, and budget constraints determine courses that run next year. Because of those constraints and scheduling on a yearlong basis, we ask students to select alternates to provide the greatest possible options for receiving a full schedule. Therefore, the choices you make are CRITICAL. When you select a course you signal not only your interest but also your commitment to complete that course. Often students and parents believe we are making arbitrary decisions on courses. Instead, we are trying to juggle a nearly impossible number of factors in order to produce a master schedule that optimizes students’ educational goals in the framework of our budgeting and staffing realities. Although students readily talk with each other about classes and instruction and can serve as sources of good information (from a student perspective, at least), we strongly encourage students to talk with their teachers about correct placement in next year’s classes. Staffing adjustments will depend on the courses that students select, and with budgets still tight, the ability to change schedules after the course selection process will not happen. Therefore, decisions must be made thoughtfully. Thank you for taking an interest in your student’s academic life and sharing them with us. Kevin Rohrich Henry M.

We all have similar questions. We know that the court said K-12 schools must be fully funded, establishing 2018 as the deadline for that funding. We don’t know how, when, or if the legislature will respond. We ARE following the Legislature very closely to be ready for whatever happens. AND we are responding to legislators’ requests for information about how their actions might impact our students. Recently I received a document from the Network for Excellence in Washington Schools—a group of organizations and school districts advocating for constitutionally-mandated funding for Washington’s K-12 schools. It is the most clearly written explanation I’ve seen of the McCleary decision, and I share with you a piece of the challenging puzzle our legislators face in making school funding decisions. What is the McCleary decision? In January 2012, Washington’s State Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Washington is violating the constitutional rights of children by failing to live up to its “paramount duty” to amply fund education of all K-12 students. The Court ordered the Legislature to make steady, real, and measurable progress each year and to fully fund K-12 public education by 2018. What does the case mean for students and communities? The Court ruled that our constitution requires the state to provide ample funding for K-12 education— and that means “considerably more than just adequate,” according to the Court—and to fund our K-12 public schools first, before the state funds any other program or operation. The Court said school funding must be ample enough to ensure that all students are given a realistic and effective opportunity to meet the high learning standards established by the state. How do we know what “full funding” means? During the McCleary trial, the state assured the Court that the 2009 education reform and funding law, ESHB 2261, is the promise that K-12 public education will be fully funded by 2018. (However, public school funding has actually decreased since 2009.) The Court added the power of its orders to ensure that “the promise” becomes reality. And, the Supreme Court retained jurisdiction over the case after it issued its ruling, stating, “What we have learned from experience is that this Court cannot stand on the sidelines and hope the state meets its constitutional mandate to amply fund education.” The Court ordered the state to demonstrate and report on its progress every year. WOLF TRACKS 4 March 2013 Superintendent ’s MESSAGE’: How is the State doing so far? The state issued its first report in December 2012. In response, the Supreme Court said the state is failing to show progress, noting that “the overall level of funding remains below the levels that have been declared constitutionally inadequate.” The Court also reaffirmed that “year 2018 remains a firm deadline for full constitutional compliance,” adding that “we cannot wait until ‘graduation’ in 2018” for the state to begin to make progress toward meeting its constitutional paramount duty.” What has to happen now? On December 20, 2012, the Court told the Legislature, “The report submitted at the conclusion of the 2013 legislative session must set out the state’s plan in sufficient detail to allow progress to be measured according to periodic benchmarks between now and 2018 … the phase-in plan should address all areas of K-12 education identified in ESHB 2261, including transportation, materials, supplies, other operating costs, full-time kindergarten, and class size reduction. Given the scale of the task at hand, 2018 is only a moment away—and by the time the 2013 Legislature convenes, a full year will have passed since the Court issued its opinion in this case.” This mix of court-ordered actions and the looming deadline of 2018 is a challenge for legislators who have told our school board—and our Associated Student Body representatives who met with them—that legislative decisions are better informed when legislators hear from their constituents. The district’s homepage includes links to legislators who welcome your questions and suggestions. The Network for Excellence in Washington Schools’ website includes more state school funding information and an invitation to sign up for their e-newsletter. You can also sign up for the district’s e-newsletter InTouch for general district news and legislative news as it is available. On a musical note, I saw many families and students at the February 13 performance of the U.S. Navy Band in Everett High School’s Civic Auditorium. More than a thousand took the opportunity to see these premier musicians and our students perform. Please join with me in a thank you to the Navy for selecting Everett as one of just 18 venues for the group’s 2013 national tour. A special thank you goes to the Navy musicians who spent an entire morning with band students in our high schools—inspiring students to excel in all they do, to keep music alive for all of us, and reminding us what duty, honor, and commitment to excellence means in America.

Underage drinking increases risk for other adverse consequences: Impairs judgment: Drinking can lead to poor decisions about engaging in risky behavior including drinking and driving, sexual activity (such as unprotected sex), and aggressive or violent behavior. Increases the risk of physical and sexual assault: Underage drinkers are more likely to carry out or be the victim of a physical or sexual assault after drinking than others their age who do not drink. Can lead to other problems: Underage drinkers may have trouble in school or with the law; and Drinking alcohol is associated with the use of other drugs. Source: Kenneth R.

WOLF TRACKS 6 March 2013 SCHOOL Scoop Sweetheart Soiree It was a sweet night for a soiree. The Jackson High Band Boosters held a Sweetheart Soiree at The Spotted Cow on February 7, a wonderful event to showcase our talented band students and provide a fundraising silent auction for students to offset their festival travel expenses, all while bringing our JHS band families together in a fun and relaxing atmosphere. The soulful music, drinks, and decadent desserts, and Stephanie Sharpe’s adorable photo booth, made for a great mix of things to do at the Soiree. Barry & Monica Weber WOLF TRACKS Alia Memon, Chelsey Caldwell (band student teacher) & Nicole Moffat 7 March 2013 SCHOOL Scoop Senior Class Updates The Father/Daughter Dance for elementary aged students was a huge success.

I was finally going to do some holiday baking. After all, I’ve had the recipes and ingredients for more than a week yet lacked only the time. As I assembled the ingredients, my heart sank with the realization that I didn’t have one of the key ingredients—white chocolate chips! Groan. Now I’d have to run to the store on one of the busiest shopping days of the year to get just one item. I thought about sending my husband or my daughter to buck the crowds for me, but this was my undoing, not theirs, and besides it was the day before Christmas and they deserved a relaxing day, too. So I hauled over to my fave “go-to” store for one stop shopping, Fred Meyer in Mill Creek, to pick up the white chocolate chips and a few other things I might need, you know, just in case. The parking lot was packed like sardines in a can. I circled the lot a couple times and found a parking space further from the door than I’ve ever parked before. Like the sardine can parking lot, the same was true for shopping in the store. Ditto for the checkout line. As I exchanged my credit card swipe for a long sales receipt, my mood took a drastic turn for the better! Greeting me was a pleasant young man sporting a Jackson wrestling team sweatshirt offering to assist me to my car with my loaded shopping cart. At first I thought he was a Fred Meyer employee because of the way he approached me with such professional and friendly courtesy, but on our walk to the car we struck up a conversation about the Jackson wrestling team and I learned that he and his teammates were volunteering their time and cheer to assist the community holiday shoppers. Wow! How terrific is that? The walk to my car parked in the far corner of the lot was not parked too far at all, but only a short walk when I had the company of such a pleasant and helpful young Jackson wrestler. Thank you, Jackson wrestling team! You know what it means to live The Jackson Way—with Pride, Excellence, and Character. And the rest of my day? I baked to my heart’s—and sweet tooth’s—content. 8 March 2013 SCHOOL Scoop JHS MUSICIANS On February 9, many of our Jackson High School musicians competed in regional Solo & Ensemble contests. Students who participated performed either as soloists or part of a small group (2–10 members) on a piece of music they selected and prepared independently. They were adjudicated by professional musicians based on criteria developed by the Washington Music Educators Association that aligns with multiple National Standards for Music Education. Rankings of I (superior) to V (below average) were given for each performance. Following is a summary of the band students’ outcomes at the regional competition: There were 86 Jackson band student entries 44 earned superior (I) ratings 40 earned excellent (II) ratings 27 qualified entries for State (* indicates a student qualified for State in more than one category) Daniel Wilson*, Catie Case, Alex Carro, Joonha Shin, Kristin Anderson, Katie Kavanagh*, Nicole Moffat*, Michael Henning, Brandon Mar*, Zach Feingold*, Danny Kavanagh*, Rachel Cho, Graydon Gunthardt, Eunice Chu, Ji-Yoon Chon, James Henderson, Chris Richey, Jeran Plumacher, Blake Bell, Sean Hoon The state music competition will be in April and will be hosted at Central Washington University in Ellensburg. JHS Jazz Band News On February 23, the three Jackson High School jazz bands participated in the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho. Performances by all three jazz bands, Disfunkshun jazz combo, Take Seven jazz combo, and bass soloist Erika Middleton-Sharpe were evaluated by professional jazz artists and clinicians. Rubrics that address national music standards were used to provide feedback for the performances. Each of our groups consistently scored in the outstanding category for the majority of the classifications of the rubrics. Several of our students were recognized as “Young Artist Solo Award” winners. They are Brandon Mar, drums; James Henderson, alto sax; Sean Hoon, tenor sax; and Michael Henning, piano. In addition, the Disfunkshun jazz combo, consisting of Michael Henning, Brandon Mar, King Dawidalle, and Shadi Mattar, was invited to perform in the Kibbie Dome at the evening “winners' concert.” They performed a piece called “Skyline,” which was written by Jackson High School senior and pianist Michael Henning. This combo will be performing at the Everett Public Schools Foundation Breakfast on March 21. Additionally, these students were recognized as “Outstanding Young Artist Honorable Mention”: Shadi Mattar, piano; James Henderson, tenor sax; Brandon Mar, drums; and Erika Middleton-Sharpe, bass. Lesley Moffat is Director of Bands, Jazz, and Percussion at Jackson High School. She conducts Jazz Band 1 and coaches the jazz combos. Kevin Hall is Music Program Assistant and conducts Jazz Band 2. Student-teacher Chelsey Caldwell conducts Jazz Band 3. On Monday, March 25, all three of the Jackson High School jazz bands will be performing at Dimitrious’ Jazz Alley.

TESTING INFO FOR JUNIORS Are you seeking information PSAT, SAT, ACT, and other important tests? The JHS Web site has links directing you to informational resources—just click here to get started! TUTORS NEEDED JHS offers a small mentor program for students handpicked by their eighth grade counselor. These students have been identified as those who would benefit from extra support as they enter high school. Among this group there is a need for math help. They would greatly benefit from individual tutoring or a session with very few students. We need a couple math tutors for Algebra, Geometry, and Alg 2 Trig who can sit down and help students struggling in math at least once a week after school. The day of the week is flexible, but we need someone from 2:15–3 p.m. If you know of anyone interested, please contact Elizabeth Garrett at [email protected] or 425-385-7049. We also have a need for reading tutors to read and discuss books with students who have low reading skills. The commitment level would be for one hour once or twice a week, 7:30 –9:30 a.m. and noon–2 p.m. If you know of anyone interested, please contact Michaelle Frank at [email protected]. All tutors are required to complete a volunteer application, which can be done online via a link on the Jackson High School or Everett Public Schools Web site.
