Science Teachers Participate
in Cornell Research Projects
H
averling High School Science Teachers Jan
St. Pierre and Ray Kaschalk participated in a
five-week research experience at Cornell University this summer. The pair was selected from a
competitive field of area science teachers for the
Grass Roots GK-12 Program, Advancing Education in Renewable Energy and Cleaner Fuels.
The seven
teachers in
the program
were each
paired with a
Cornell graduate fellow and
conducted
cutting-edge
research
related to developing alternative energy
resources.
Ms. St.
Pierre’s research focused
on developing
algae as a biofuel resource. Utilizing fluorescent
microscopy and lasers, her group tried to identify a substance that would cause the algae to
clump for processing with minimal impact on the
environment.
She also was involved with studying the feasibility of growing algae in different concentrations
of salt water to decrease dependence on valuable fresh water resources.
Mr. Kaschalk’s research focused on using laser
annealing (a heat treatment that alters the physical properties of a material to make it more workable) to find more cost-efficient catalysts for fuel
cell reactions.
Teachers and graduate fellows formed teams to
develop educational modules for the GK-12 program. Ms. St. Pierre’s team developed a module in
which students isolate oil from algae to convert
to biodiesel, while Mr. Kaschalk’s team developed
a module designed to help students understand
how to generate voltage using electromagnetic
induction and how to construct simple circuits to
harness the power produced by a generator.
The graduate fellows will visit Haverling science
classrooms throughout the year to help teach the
GK-12 modules to students.
Students launch rockets
Dana Lyon sixth-graders in Mike Binkowski’s
and Tom Taylor’s science classes studied rocketry
at the end of the 2013-14 school year.
Using the Viking rocket as their base,
students made design changes to the fins
and body tube to individualize their own rockets.
Pictured are Thomas Binkowski and Teddy Robbins
preparing to launch with the help of Mr. Taylor.

Bath Schools are Busy Places
Even During the Summer
S
chool may have been out for the summer,
but the halls of Haverling saw plenty of students in July and August. From driver education
and science enrichment classes to the summer
swimming program, students at all grade levels
benefitted from the district’s summer programs.
Clockwise from upper left: Driver education students learned the importance of wearing seat belts as they watched
a roll over demonstration by the Steuben County Sheriff’s Office. In the first simulation, dummies not in restraints
were ejected from a vehicle and in the second the dummies wearing seat belts were not injured.
Middle School students work on a virtual world project to present at the Southern Tier SciFair Showcase held at the
Wings of Eagles Discovery Center. The students worked with a college mentor and Science Teacher Mike Binkowski as
they created avatars that explored a science topic in a virtual world.
The summer swim program offered lessons for students in kindergarten through sixth grade, as well as lifeguard
training, diving instruction, aqua aerobics, Tiny Tots and Guard Start.

Students Immersed in Geology
Students learned about the geology unique to Taughannock Falls State Park
and numerous other sites during a science enrichment course this summer.
H
averling students were immersed in the
natural beauty of the Finger Lakes this
summer as they learned about the geology
of the area.
A science enrichment course, led by Middle
School Teacher Greg Longwell, took students
out of the traditional classroom setting and
allowed them to explore the geological features of the Southern Tier and beyond.
Once a week, students boarded a bus and
traveled to state parks and other sites including Filmore Glen, Buttermilk Falls and
Taughannock Falls State Parks, Newtown
Page 4
Battlefield, Sugar Hill State Forest, Niagara
Falls and the Cornell University Lab of Ornithology.
At each stop, students learned the geologic
history and important vocabulary associated
with the unique land formations created by
millions of years of weather activity including
glaciers, wind and water erosion. The interdisciplinary course not only taught topics
in Earth, life and environmental science, but
integrated English/language arts, social studies, math, technology, health and physical
fitness into the curriculum.

Transportation Department:
Keep the bus garage phone number (776-7900)
handy. Call if there is a change in your address,
phone number, babysitter or schedule.
Put your child’s name on everything, including
lunches, cell phones, backpacks, clothing, gloves,
etc. Items left on the bus in the morning may be
reclaimed when the bus returns in the afternoon.
Have your children at their bus stop five minutes
prior to the bus arrival time. Drivers will not honk
the horn or sit and wait for your children if they

are not at their stop. Drivers make every attempt
to be at their stops at the same time every day.
Call us immediately if your child is having a problem on the bus. Cameras are on most buses and
we will view the footage to address the situation.
Remind your children that the bus driver is in
charge of the bus. Please encourage your children
to talk to their driver if they are having a problem.
Make eye contact with the driver if you are the
parent of a pre-k or kindergarten student. Drivers
will not let these students off the bus without first
seeing an adult.
A note to High School parents
C
onstruction
crews have
been busy working around the
high school this
summer, with
more work to
continue as the
school year starts.
Improvements
have been made
to the facilities in numerous areas and significant
upgrades to our building security continue to be
completed. We are very fortunate to be able to
provide great facilities for our students.
You will have an opportunity to see these
changes and meet the High School staff at Open
House on Tuesday, September 30 from 6:30-7:30
p.m. In addition to Open House, the guidance
department will host its annual college fair from
6:00-7:30 p.m. in the gymnasium on the same
evening. Please be sure to mark this date on your
calendar.
It is important for students and parents to understand the school day does not end until 3:00
p.m. Students who are doing well in their classes
and have no Block 6 obligations may leave at
2:14 p.m., but it will be necessary to keep this
time open as students may be required to be in
attendance until 3:00 p.m. whenever they begin
to struggle or get behind in their classes.
To help the first few days run smoothly, please
note these key times and procedures:
7:00 a.m. Doors open. Students may wait in the
lobby. Breakfast is available in the
High School cafeteria.
7:20 a.m. Students allowed in the hallways.
7:30 a.m. Block 1 begins.
2:14 p.m. End of Block 5 and dismissal for
students not staying for extra help or
having any further obligations.
2:20 p.m. Block 6 begins for extra help and
study time.
3:00 p.m. End of school day.
The only door that will be unlocked during
the school day is the main entrance of the High
School. (Please note that as additional security
systems are installed, this door also will be locked
during the day.) All visitors arriving between
7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. must enter through the
office. Visitors will be asked to sign in and given
a visitor’s badge before proceeding to any other
part of the building.
The front circle is limited to school buses only
from 7:00-7:30 a.m. and from 2:00-2:30 p.m. At
any other time the circle is available for dropping
off or picking up students.
We are excited about the 2014-15 school year
and prepared to help each student reach his or
her potential.

We ask parents to continue to:
• Establish homework as a top priority for their
children. Send your children a very clear
message: You expect them to do their best
work.
• Reinforce the behavioral expectations of the
school. Let them know that you will provide
additional consequences at home if your child
misbehaves in school.
• Communicate regularly with our teachers,
especially when there are concerns.
We ask students to continue to always:
• Be in school
• Do their best
• Be respectful
As always, please feel free to contact me with
any questions or concerns. Enjoy the remainder of the summer and have a great start to the
school year.
Respectfully,
Joe Rumsey
A Message From the VEW Principal
W
elcome back to school! We are excited to
start the 2014-15 school year. Our first day
back together is Wednesday, September 3.
As we start the year, it’s important for all of us
to work together to ensure that our children are
safe and prepared.
A few reminders:
• If your child’s after-school destination changes,
please send a note to school with him or her
so we can make sure the change happens. On
the note, please write your child’s name, as
well as his or her teacher’s name. If the destina tion changes during the school day, please call
the main office at 776-4123, ext. 5100 before
noon. Only a custodial parent can make a
change to a child’s destination.
• If you have custody arrangements for your
children, please make sure we have a current
copy of the paper work.
• Write your child’s name and his or her teacher’s
name on backpacks and lunch boxes.
On the first day of school:
• Please write your child’s name and his or her
teacher’s name on a piece of masking tape
and affix it to his or her shirt. This will help us
get everyone to the correct classroom.
• Be sure to send in a signed note telling us the
plan for your child’s transportation to and from
school. The note should include your child’s
name, teacher’s name, bus number and the
address where the bus picks up/drops off or
if a parent will drop off/pick up.

Deborah Barlow, VEW Primary School Principal
Students Donate to Flood Victims
T
he Dana Lyon Middle School Character Education Committee is always looking for ways
to teach children how to be kind, responsible and
grateful. Throughout the years, students have
collected canned food, coats, mittens, pet supplies and spare change to donate. Students filled
shoeboxes with gifts, walked miles around the
track, slimed teachers and dressed their principal
in crazy costumes. These activities and collections provided students, staff and the community
with ways to help those in need both locally and
around the world.
At the end of the 2013-14 school year, severe
flooding affected many people in the Penn Yan
and Branchport areas. Also affected was Camp
Good Days and Special Times, located on the
north end of Keuka Lake. The primary focus of
the camp is to help children (and their families)
who are ill with cancer to have “good days and
special times.” The camp was set to open just
before the flooding occurred, but unfortunately,
the grounds and many buildings were damaged.
Local residents volunteered to help with clean up
or donated money.
The Dana
Lyon Character Education
Committee
placed containers in the
school offices
for students
and staff to
donate their
spare change.
The committee also collected returnable bottles and cans. In
addition, community groups were invited to join
the school’s change drive.
Due to the generosity of students and staff and
the Steuben County Veterans Memorial-VFW,
American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary, more than $2,500 was donated to Camp
Good Days.
Special thanks to fourth-grader Miranda Duby,
who collected $89.42, and to Cierra Towner,
Kelsey Smalt-Share and Karli Joseph for helping
collect and clean the cans and bottles.
