SUMMER SCHOOL
TRANSPORTATION ROUTES
Summer school bus routes will follow a general
pattern to serve students via an area concept rather
than door to door pickup service.
In the interest of safety, it is preferred that students
not be dropped at road intersections or similar
places. It is suggested that all families not living on
the actual traveled route make arrangements with a
family that does, so the student will have access to
security and protection or, possibly a telephone if
travel connections are not on time. Students will be
dropped off at a road intersection, or similar places,
if parents so request.
Four routes have been tentatively established to
serve the students registered. If you have questions
or concerns, please call the elementary (920) 398-4301.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY INDUCTION
On Sunday, May 17, 2015 seventeen
students from Markesan High School were
inducted in the National Honor Society
Organization. These students were selected
based upon a variety of criteria ranging from
academic abilities, leadership potential, and
service activities. As a member of NHS they
will be expected to maintain high academic
standards, provide leadership for our school,
engage in service activities and to maintain high
ethics and character.
This past year NHS has been involved in a
number of activities ranging from volunteering
at blood drives, raising money for Leukemia, helping to stock the county food pantry, and ringing the Salvation
Army bell during Christmas, mentoring 6th grade students, running activities at the Markesan Library Halloween
party and visiting the elderly.

READ THIS SUMMER TO BE TOP NOTCH
According to Scholastic’s Instructor magazine, it just takes four or more books read over the summer to prevent the
“summer slide” or dip in academic skills that can happen. Kids who read a million words a year score in the top two
percent on standardized tests. A million words translate to about 25 novels or chapter books. Statistics show that the
books need not be classics or award winners. Let your child select what interests them. Vocabulary building is directly
connected to time spent reading. Children regularly learn between 4,000-12,000 new words per year. Three months
without reading will definitely limit the growth your child could make.
Those long, hot days of summer are loads of fun, but they can also be a brain drain for your kids. So, if you want to
help slow down the summer slide, check out the following:
Top Ten Ways to Slow the Summer Slide:
1. Partner read with your child (take turns reading a sentence, paragraph or page).
2. Play board games that reinforce skills such as Yahtzee, Boggle, and Set. Also, puzzles are great ways to keep
skills sharp. Consider Suduko, crossword puzzles, word searches, logic puzzles, etc.
3. Go lots of places! The park, the zoo, the aquarium, the museum, even just a walk around the neighborhood.
Children learn by doing better than by watching.
4. Limit screen time (tv, computer).
5. Have your child keep a summer journal.
6. Go to the public library at least once a week to check out books. Many libraries go way beyond the traditional
story time.
7. Summer is a terrific time to improve reading fluency. Do this by allowing kids to read high-interest material.
Don’t worry that it is not “good literature.”
8. Have your child read where ever you go…read signs and billboards, restaurant menus, food labels, etc.
9. On vacation, learn about your destination. Have your child find out three facts about where you are going.
Guidebooks can be a great resource.
10. Older children and teens may enjoy starting a blog. One of the easiest platforms is Blogger. Fonts, colors, and
designs can be easily changed and you can make the blog private if you are worried about internet safety.
So make reading a part of your summer and your child’s summer!

CRIMINAL JUSTICE CLASS
Markesan’s criminal justice class wound up it’s semester of guest speakers and lessons by visiting the Green Lake
County Court House and Sheriff’s Department last Tuesday. The criminal justice class is taught in conjunction with the
Markesan Police Department. This is it’s second year of being taught at the high school.
The goal of the class is to provide students interested in the criminal justice field an opportunity to
learn more about criminal justice and to be exposed to possible careers in the field. As a result,
multiple speakers representing various agencies have come to the Markesan High School to talk to the
class about their careers. Speakers this year included a probation officer, Judge Slate, a social service
manager, a deputy from the Sheriff’s Department, a conservation warden from the DNR, the warden
from Dodge Corrections, a correctional officer and a prison employee, the county coroner, and a state
trooper. The class also co-hosted a Saturday seminar on self-defense.
In class the students learned about the criminal justice system including the three main areas of
policing, the court system and the correction systems. Last Tuesday the class visited Judge Slate’s
court and watched traffic court and criminal court in action. Judge Slate than graciously answered any
and all questions as did other members of the court including the District Attorney and bailiff. The
students were then given a tour of the dispatch department and the ladies working gave a superb
discussion of their role in protecting our communities. The day ended with a talk by the Sheriff’s
Department demonstrating the tools and purpose of the S.W.A.T team. The students were given an
opportunity to talk to the main leaders of our Sheriff’s Department and to handle or try on some of the
protective gear the officers use.
SUCCESSFUL YOUTH SERVICE DAY
On May 1, 2015 teachers and students of Markesan Middle and High
School participated in the 15th annual Youth Service Day. The students
and staff preformed many jobs in Markesan and the surrounding
communities. Youth Service Day is designed to help students
understand their role as citizens of a community and to help them realize
the importance of helping others and receive some self-satisfaction from
the tasks they completed. Thanks to everyone who planned and participated in the
Youth Service Day.
Pictured is D.J. Ratliff, Jessica Vis, Dylan Prill, Madison Nolan, and Chesney Rohrbeck.

CONFIDENTIALITY OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH CHILD FIND ACTIVITIES—Markesan District Schools
Markesan District Schools 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 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:
This agency conducts the following child find activities each year, Child
Development Days, Kindergarten Screening and upon request the school district
will screen any resident child who has not graduated from high school to
determine whether a special education referral is appropriate. 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 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 record(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 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 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 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 Markesan 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, PL107110, 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.
ANNUAL NOTICE OF SPECIAL EDUCATION REFERRAL AND EVALUATION PROCEDURES—Markesan District Schools
Upon request, the Markesan 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 Debbie
Chisnell, Director of Special Education, Markesan District Schools, at 1-920-3984352, or by writing her at 100 E. Vista Blvd, PO Box 248, Markesan, WI 53946-0248.
