SCHOOL DISTRICT HOSTED A CUSTODIAL/MAINTENANCE
WORKSHOP
On Wednesday, July 8th the Boyceville Community School District
hosted the CESA #11 Custodial and Maintenance Workshop. This oncea-year training workshop is hosted by a CESA #11 school district that
exemplifies excellence and demonstrates “best practices” in custodial
and maintenance practices. One hundred thirty-two people from thirtynine surrounding school districts spent the day in Boyceville reviewing
our buildings and grounds. Several training breakout sessions were held
during the day as well. It was an honor for our district to host the event.
Congratulations to Brent Klefstad and his staff for the recognition of
their fine work.

According to Wisconsin School Law, each school district is required to
annually collect census information and report the data to the Department
of Public Instruction. This data is needed regardless if the student
attends the Boyceville School District or not (e.g. home schooled,
attending a private school, or open enroll to another district).
All residents of the Boyceville Community School District are asked
to help out with providing this census information. If you have had a
baby this year, have children not yet enrolled in school, moved into the
district, or know of new neighbors, please contact the District Office
at 715/643-3647 to provide census information. We will need names,
birth dates, and gender.
We appreciate your cooperation with the collection of this important
data.
Each regular meeting has a “Visitors Comment” section near the
beginning of the agenda when citizens can address the Board on issues
that they feel are important. Citizens who have concerns about specific
staff or student issues should contact their child’s teacher, principal, or
District Administrator, Kevin D. Sipple

Annual Notices
Student Records Notice
The Boyceville Community School District maintains student records for each student attending school in the District. These records include:
1) student progress records (i.e. courses taken, grades, attendance, immunizations, extra-curricular activities), and 2) student behavioral records
(i.e. standardized achievement tests, psychological tests, personality evaluations, records of conversations, written statements relating to an
individual student’s behavior, student physical health other than immunizations, law enforcement records obtained by the District and other
student records which are not progress records).
Further, the District has designated the following student record information as directory data: student’s name, address, telephone number,
date of birth, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance,
photographs, degrees and awards received and name of school most recently previously attended by the student. This information may be
disclosed to any person unless the adult student, or parent, legal guardian, or guardian ad litem of a minor student informs the school within
fourteen (14) days of receipt of this notice that all or any part of the directory data may not be released without the prior consent of the adult
student, parent, legal guardian, or guardian ad litem. This designation will remain in effect until it is modified by the written direction of the
adult student or the parent, legal guardian, or guardian ad litem of a minor student.
State and federal laws require that the maintenance of student records assure confidentiality. Copies of the District’s student records procedure
are available upon request during normal office hours. Accordingly, the following shall apply in the District:
A. An adult student, or the parent/guardian of a minor student, has the right to inspect, review, and obtain copies of the student’s school
records upon request in accordance with established District procedures.
B. An adult student, or the parent/guardian of a minor student, has the right to request the amendment of the student’s school records if
S./he believes the records are inaccurate or misleading. Complaints regarding the content of student records may be made in accordance with
established District procedures.
C. An adult student, or the parent/guardian of a minor student, has the right to consent to the disclosure of information contained in
the student’s school records, except to the extent that State and Federal laws authorize disclosure without consent. One exception that permits
disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials determined to have legitimate educational interests, including safety interests, in the
records. A “school official” is a person employed by the District who is required by the Department of Public Instruction to hold a license; a
person employed by or working on behalf of the District as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or
medical staff and police-school liaison officers); a person serving on the Board of Education; a person or company with whom the District has
contracted to perform a specific 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/her tasks. A school official has
a “legitimate educational interest” if the official needs to review a student record in order to fulfill his/her professional or District responsibility.
The District shall transfer a student’s record to another school or school district without consent upon request in accordance with State law.
D. An adult student, or the parent/guardian of a minor student, has the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education for
alleged District non-compliance with Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) requirements. The name and address of the
office that administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Washington,
DC 20202-4605.
Student progress records shall be retained permanently after the student ceases to be enrolled in the District. All student behavioral records
will be destroyed one (1) year after the date the student graduates from or last attends a school in the District unless the student, or the parent/
guardian of a minor student, gives permission that the records may be maintained for a longer period of time.

Transitioning Back-to-School
Bonnie Barker, Director of Special Education/School Psychologist
It is hard to believe that another school year is
about to begin. Where did the summer go? It is
important to start the new school year off “on the
right foot.” Preparing for a new school year helps
your child develop a positive attitude and helps
build his/her confidence. For many, the transition
from August to September can be difficult. Here
are some suggestions (some I’ve mentioned before
and some new ones) to make the transition backto-school as smooth as possible:
Before School Starts:
• Make sure your child is in good physical and mental health. This is
the time to schedule doctor and dental checkups. This is also the time
to plan and implement a school routine, including re-establishing
bedtime and mealtime. During the “lazy days of summer” sleep is
often something that varies by the day. Children (and adults) may
stay up later and get up late. Lack of sleep can cause barriers to
having a good start to the school year. Elementary aged children
should have 10 hours of sleep and teenagers 8-9 hours of sleep.
Changing to a school routine may take 2 weeks to implement, so
plan ahead.
• Review the material that is sent home by the school as soon as
it arrives. These packets contain important information including
school calendar dates and forms that may need to be filled out. This
is also the perfect time to mark your calendar with all the important
dates. It’s always good to be prepared.
• Planning and implementing a routine is important. This is the
time to schedule “down” time for your child. Summer is usually
an active time. The weather is nice, there is no homework, and
children may spend “free time” on the computer, watching TV,
or chatting with friends. Now would be a good time to schedule
reading time. This could also be a time to review basic math facts.
Any time spent with quiet activities will help ease your child into
the learning process and school routine. Developing a routine will
help your child know what’s expected of him/her each night before
school and each morning before school. It may be helpful to have
your child practice laying out his/her clothes the night before, then
brush his/her teeth and read before bed. In the morning your child
can practice waking up on time, getting dressed, eating breakfast,
and “leaving” for school on time. Remember “practice makes
perfect” and practicing these things will help the first day of school
go smoothly.
• During the summer, meals and snacks often change. Ice-cream,
popsicles, and lemonade are favorites of many. During August it is
important to help children transition to more vegetables and fruit.
Helping your child have a healthy diet will help them be ready for
school not only mentally but also physically.
• Chat with your child. Having an open line of communication is
important. Encourage your child to talk about any feelings he/she
is experiencing. The transition back to school may be stressful for
you and also your child. He/She may need to “vent” those feelings
and your patience will be important. Let your child know that his
/her feelings are normal.
• Buy any needed school supplies following the lists provided by the
school. Having the needed supplies ready and packed in a child’s
backpack prior to the first day of school can help ease anxiety by
being prepared and ready. If you need help with providing the
needed supplies please call the school as soon as possible. We have
donated supplies to help when needed.
• Make sure to visit the school during the open-house or designated
days. This will ease your child’s fears of knowing where to go and
give them an opportunity to meet their teacher or teachers.
The First Week:
• Once school has started it is important to designate a space to do
homework. This will assist in setting a routine for homework and
your expectations. It is also important to select a spot to keep
backpacks and lunch boxes. This may also be a good time to discuss
with your child where they should put important notices from the
school that need to be shared with you. Explain that emptying
their backpack each evening is part of their responsibility, even for
young children.
• Set aside time to talk with your child about their day. No matter
how old your child gets, they enjoy sharing what has happened
during the day and they may want to discuss any problems they’ve
had.
• Set alarm clocks. School-age children can set their own alarm
clocks to get up in the morning. This builds independence and
personal responsibility. Praise them for prompt response to morning
schedules. Make sure your child has plenty of time to get up, eat
breakfast, and get to school. Allow for extra time if you child needs
to walk to the bus stop.
• Set an after school routine that includes homework and reading.
Even if your child says that they have no assignments they can
always be reading. This may be a good time to turn off the TV
and have a family reading time. Children look to their parents/
guardians as examples.
• Read any notes that come home from the school. Contact your
child’s teacher if you have any questions or concerns.
Overcoming Anxiety:
• Let your child know that you care. If your child is anxious about
school, send personal notes in the lunch box or backpack. Children
absorb their parent’s anxiety, so model optimism and confidence
for your child. Let them know that it is natural to be a little nervous
anytime you start something new, but that your child will be just
fine once he or she becomes familiar with classmates, the teacher,
and school routine.
• If the first few days are a little rough, try not to over react.
Remember, teachers are trained to help your child adjust. If you
drop your child off, try not to linger. Reassure your child that you
love them, will think of them during the day, and will be back.
• Remain calm and positive. Acknowledge any anxiety your child
may have. Share with the teacher, school counselor, school nurse,
or school psychologist any concerns you may have. They may
be able to offer direct or indirect support that will help identify
and reduce any problems that may be occurring. They may also
suggest other resources within the school and/or the community to
help you.
• If you have any questions or comments regarding these tips please
contact Bonnie Barker, Director of Special Education/School
Psychologist at 715-643-3647, ext. 120.
CONFIDENTIALITY OF PERSONALLY
IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION OBTAINED
THROUGH CHILD FIND ACTIVITIES
Boyceville Community School District 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. This agency conducts the
following child find activities each year: Little Bulldogs play groups,
annual notice in district newsletter, parent/teacher conferences, school
data days. 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 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
District Newsletter
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 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:
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 [or appropriate school official] a written
request that identifies the records(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 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 [Name of] 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, PL107-110, 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.

CHILD FIND
Finding Children with Special Needs
What is Child Find?
Child Find is a continuous process of public awareness activities, screening, and evaluation designed to locate, identify, and refer all young
children with disabilities and their families who may be in need of early intervention programs or special education as early as possible. In
Wisconsin, children from birth to 3 years of age may qualify for early intervention programs, which are operated by county Birth to 3 Programs.
Children ages 3 to 21 may qualify for special education provided by local school districts.
Why is Child Find necessary?
Screening all children provides parents and professionals with information on whether a child’s development is similar to children of the same age.
The purpose of Child Find for children ages 3-21 is to ensure that all children with disabilities have access to free, appropriate public education,
including special education and related services designed to meet their unique needs and prepare them for further education, employment, and
independent living.
Who is covered by Child Find?
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires all states to have policies and procedures in effect to ensure that all children
who are in need of special education and related services are identified, located, and evaluated. Wisconsin Child Find applies to all children who
reside within the State. This includes children who attend public and private schools or are home schooled, Head Start or Tribal Head Start, are
highly mobile, migrant, homeless, and children who are wards of the State. Screenings and evaluations for special education and related services
are free of charge to parents or legal guardians.
Who makes a Child Find referral?
Anyone can make a request (called a referral). Children from birth to 3 should be referred to local county Birth to 3 Programs. A physician, nurse,
psychologist, social worker, or administrator of a social agency who reasonably believes a child brought to hi 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.
What happens after a request/referral is made?
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 evaluated all children with disabilities who are
enrolled by their parents in private (including religious) schools, elementary school and secondary schools located in the school district.
How does one make a referral?
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 Bonnie Barker, Director of Special Education/School Psychologist, Boyceville Community School District, at 715-643-3647 ext. 120,
or by writing her at 1003 Tiffany St. Boyceville, WI 54725.
If a child is under the age of three, who can I contact?
There are other agencies that can be contact with children under the age of three (3):
• Dunn County Family and Children’s Services: 715-232-1116
• Barron County Birth-3-Early Intervention Program: 715-537-5691
• St. Croix County Birth to 3 Program: 715-246-8248
Meet Our New Food Service Director
The Face of School Food Service
Today
HI! My name is Lexie Razmus, and I am
so excited to be part of this wonderful
school community. For the past five
years, I have been employed by the
Boyceville School District performing
kitchen duties. Starting this school year,
I am thrilled to be the new Food Service
Director. It’s going to be a fun year full
of lots of learning and new adventures,
and I can’t wait to see what the year has
in store for us.
I would like to tell you a little bit about
myself. Growing up in White Pine,
Michigan, I was lucky to be raised in
the food industry. My parents owned
and operated a restaurant for thirty years, and I took pride in providing
quality customer service to our community. When I am not working
or spending time with my beautiful daughter, Naomie, I enjoy reading,
playing cards, going to the lake, and spending time with family and
friends.
Over the last few years, I have enjoyed getting to know the Boyceville
students and staff. I love watching the students grow and develop
throughout the year. Working in the school system is such a
blessing!
Lexie Razmus, Food Service Director/Head Cook
In the past few years we have transitioned
towards healthier eating habits for our
students and our school district. And we
are committed to helping bring nutrition
and wellness to our students, staff, and
community.
Building a Healthy Plate with Whole
Grains
Grains are divided into two groups: WHOLE
GRAINS and REFINED GRAINS.
Whenever possible, whole-grain versions
of these products are used.
• They give children the B vitamins and minerals they need for
energy to play and learn.
• Promote proper digestion.
• Help them feel full longer and maintain a healthy weight as they
grow.
Building a Healthy Plate with Fruits and Vegetables
Brightly colored fruits and vegetables can be the “superstars” in every
meal and snack! Offering a variety of both during the week create
healthy eating habits children will keep for life.
• They give children the vitamins and minerals they need to grow
and play.
• Promote proper digestion, help children feel full, and maintain a
healthy weight by providing dietary fiber.
• Add color, texture, and flavor to children’s plates.

School Breakfast
Good for Kids and Good for Parents
For parents with busy schedules, it can be hard to make sure that kids
are eating a healthy breakfast before they go to school in the morning.
Sometimes children aren’t hungry right after waking up and it’s hard
to find food they like to eat that is also healthy. Food service offers
a great breakfast program for all students and its available at school
every day.
Here are some fun facts about school breakfast:
• It’s easy! Instead of running around in the morning trying to make
sure your children eat a healthy meal, let us do the work.
• It’s tasty! Food service now has more varieties to choose from
(main entrée or cereal, fruit, fruit juice and milk) when deciding
what to offer your children for breakfast.
• It’s good for the brain! Healthy students are better students. A daily
breakfast can improve nutrition, and increased physical activity can
lead to improved academic performance. Eating breakfast at school
can help kids be more attentive, behave better and achieve higher
test scores
We offer “offer vs. serve”, in which, students can build their own meal.
At breakfast, students get to select 1 fruit, 1 fruit juice, milk, and entrée
option. At lunch, students get to pick (at least) 3 components, including
½ cup of fruit, ½ cup vegetable or ½ cup combo.
National School Lunch & School
Breakfast Programs
The Boyceville Community School District announced its policy for
children unable to pay the full price of meals served under the National
School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Each school
office and the central office has a copy of the policy, which may be
reviewed by any interested party.
The following household size and income criteria will be used for
determining eligibility. Children from families whose annual income
is at or below the levels shown are eligible for free and reduced price
meals.

Application forms are being sent to all homes with a notice to parents
or guardians. To apply for free or reduced price meals or free milk,
households must fill out the application and return it to the school
(unless notified at the start of the school year that children are eligible
through direct certification). Additional copies are available at the
office in each school. The information provided on the application will
be used for the purpose of determining eligibility and may be verified
at any time during the school year by agency or other program officials.
Applications may be submitted at any time during the year.
To obtain free or reduced price meals or free milk for children in a
household where one or more household members receive FoodShare,
FDPIR, or Wisconsin Works (W-2) cash benefits, list the household
member and the FoodShare, FDPIR or W-2 case number, list the names
of all school children, sign the application, and return it to the school
office.
For the school officials to determine eligibility for free or reduced price
meals or free milk of households not receiving FoodShare, FDPIR or W2 cash benefits, the household must provide the following information
requested on the application: names of all household members and the
adult signing the application form must also list the last four digits of
his or her Social Security Number or mark the “I do not have a Social
Security Number” box. Also, the income received by each household
member must be provided by amount and source (wages, welfare, child
support, etc.).
Under the provisions of the free and reduced price meal and free milk
policy, Vivian Hanestad, Food Service Secretary will review applications
and determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian is dissatisfied with the
ruling of the official, he/she may wish to discuss the decision with the
determining official on an informal basis. If the parent/guardian wishes
to make a formal appeal, he/she may make a request either orally or
in writing to: Kevin Sipple, Superintendent, Boyceville Community
School District, 1003 Tiffany Street, Boyceville, WI 54725, 715/6433647. If a hearing is needed to appeal the decision, the policy contains
an outline of the hearing procedure.
If a household member becomes unemployed or if the household size
changes, the family should contact the school. Such changes may make
the household eligible for reduced price meals or free meals or free
milk if the household income falls at or below the levels shown above,
and they may reapply at that time.
Children formally placed in foster care are also eligible for free
meal benefits. Foster children may be certified as eligible without a
household application. Households with foster children and non-foster
children may choose to include the foster child as a household member,
as well as any personal income available to the foster child, on the
same application that includes their non-foster children.
The information provided by the household on the application is
confidential. Public Law 103-448 limits the release of student free
and reduced price school meal eligibility status to persons directly
connected with the administration and enforcement of federal or state
educational programs. Consent of the parent/guardian is need for other
purposes such as waiver of text book fees.
The U.S Department of Agriculture prohibits discrimination against its
customers, employees, and applicants for employment on the bases of
race, color, national origin, age, disability, sex, gender identity, religion,
reprisal, and where applicable, political beliefs, marital status, familial
or parental status, sexual orientation, or all or part of an individual’s
income is derived from any public assistance program, or protected
genetic information in employment or in any program or activity
conducted or funded by the Department. (Not all prohibited bases will
apply to all programs and/or employment activities.)

Any questions regarding the application should be directed to the
determining official.

School District Custodians Prepare For Our Students, Staff, and Visitors
The Boyceville Community School District would like to extend a special thank you to these employees that are often behind the scenes, serving
you and other visitors, tirelessly working to clean and maintain our facilities. They are the ones that give us “Curb Appeal”, that WOW factor
as you drive by or enter our buildings. On top of the daily classroom cleaning, this staff cared for 915 events this past 2014-2015 school year,
excluding daily athletic practices and above a level required by the State of Wisconsin Indoor Environmental Quality Standards. They have taken
a sense of ownership to buildings and grounds that they share with thousands of visitors, each of them maintaining a zone but working together
as a team during the summer months. Thank you for taking notice of the quality we present to our children everyday and know that these few
people are the ones to thank.

Tiffany Creek Elementary
All Aboard
The start of the school year at Tiffany Creek Elementary
will be filled with the continuation of many initiatives
and a number of new faces. We are looking to build
on the successes from last year and continue to grow
as an educational institution. Last year TCE was
awarded a Wisconsin Title I Spotlight Schools Grant.
The Spotlight Schools initiative is a competitive grant
program for Wisconsin Title I Schools of Recognition.
Spotlight Schools are selected based on the school’s
documented success in two spotlighted areas including Teaching and
Learning, Professional Development, and Teacher Quality. We once
again have this opportunity as we have received the grant for a second
year. I am looking forward to continuing the grant work that began last
year.
Here is a brief list of things we will be working on and incorporating
for the 2015-2016 school year:
•
•
•
•
•
New Staff: We will be welcoming a new 1st grade teacher, 5th
grade teacher, and library paraprofessional.
PALS: Stands for Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening. This
is the screening tool that all 4K-2 students in the state of Wisconsin
take two or three times a year. Students are assessed and results are
used to help identify a student’s strengths and weaknesses in the
area of reading.
Technology: We have added a mobile computer lab and 3D
printer.
PBIS: Stands for Positive Behavioral Intervention and Supports. It
is a process for creating safer and more effective schools. We have
been continually developing our process and including new things
each year. Our PBIS committee has been working on school-wide
procedures and processes intended for all students and staff. Our
focus is to: be kind, be respectful, be responsible, and be safe.
State assessment: Students in grades 3-8 took the Badger Exam this
past spring. There again will be a new state assessment coming in
the spring. More details will be provided during the school year.
The start of the school year does bring much excitement and many
challenges, but together we can work to make this year the best year
ever. Thank you for entrusting your child into our hands for another
year of learning!!
Attendance and Achievement
There is an abundance of information about the correlation between
student achievement and attendance. This correlation does not hold
true for every student but it does for a majority of students at TCE. The
overall attendance percentage this past school year was 95%. At first
glance, this number sounds good, but we should not be satisfied with
it because we still have room to improve. I examined the number of
absences that we had last year and found that 60 % of students in grades
3-6 that had 10 or more absences scored Basic or Minimal in Reading
and/or Math on the state Badger Exam. I find this percentage too high.
I know students get sick, have appointments and travel, but we need
to work together to improve our students’ attendance. Please help me
improve our student attendance by promoting good attendance habits,
attempting to have appointments after school hours and limiting trips
during the school year. Thank you for your support of this important
component in student learning.
Don’t forget Open House is on Tuesday, September 1st. Please enjoy
the rest of your summer and I will see you in September!!
Sincerely,
Nick Kaiser
TCE Principal

Challenge of a New Year
At the heart of most of the new educational initiatives,
particularly at the Middle and High School level, is
desire to make all students who graduate College
and Career Ready. From all juniors taking the ACT,
to the development of Common Core and other
Academic Standards, or the latest initiative – the
development of Academic and Career Plans – the
goal is to make sure our graduates are ready to meet
the demands of the world they are about to enter. In a recent national
study, university professors and business owners were polled about
their impression of the readiness of recent graduates to be successful at
school or work. Their concerns were fairly consistent with past studies,
stating that students are struggling in the areas of critical thinking, the
comprehension of complicated material, and the ability to effectively
communicate particularly with the written word; however, they then
added a new sentiment - sensing a lack of motivation or persistence to
work through new or difficult tasks.
So therein lies the challenge, for every student, parent, and educator
– the need to continuously increase the academic rigor students
experience while helping them develop the ability to persevere through
difficult tasks so as to prepare them for the world they will experience
after graduation.
the daily time schedule. High School classes will begin at 8:05, with
their Nutrition Break following 1st period at 8:55. The Middle School
will have Nutrition Break at 8:05 with 1st period starting at 8:15. The
Common Homeroom period for all students’ grades 7 – 12 will be from
10:54 to 11:19 except on early release days.

very issues by including more writing assessments in all areas of the
curriculum in efforts to improve reading comprehension of more and
more complicated materials. This year we will be providing more
support for students in these areas through a common homeroom period
where all teachers and students will be available to work with one
another. A system will be in place where teachers can request students
to meet with them during homeroom and where students can request to
meet with teachers during that same time for additional support.

In order to be sure our students are being prepared academically for
the challenges of the future we will be studying our grading structure
to make sure that a student’s academic standing is based on the their
ability to demonstrate skills and knowledge associated with each
subject’s standards and is not overly influenced by nonacademic factors
like extra credit, late work, attitude or effort. Our goal is to truly have
a grade reflect what a student knows and can do so they can be assured
they are prepared for the rigors of their life beyond high school. While
we attempt to separate some of the behavioral attributes from grades
we do recognize their importance, particularly given the concern about
student motivation and persistence and its impact on overall success.
To identify student strengths and concerns in areas like the ability to
complete work and do so on time, engagement in classroom activities,
self –motivation, appropriate communication and other life skills we
are developing a citizenship or contribution rubric which will be shared
with students and parents several times throughout the year.
Finally, to prepare students for the world after graduation, we will begin
planning the development and implementation of Academic and Career
Plans, a new state initiative, which will help inform students of the
skills, knowledge and attributes necessary to find success along various
career paths and document their growth in those areas. One tool we
will be relying on is a new website (www.yourfuturechippewavalley.
com) developed cooperatively by Dunn, Chippewa and Eau Claire
Counties to provide access and insight into the world of work in the
Chippewa Valley, from which all of the schools will be able to draw
valuable resources.
Each year the challenges for our students increase as the expectations
the world sets rise. Thank you to the parents, community members
and staff members who help support our young people to work to meet
those challenges.
New Starting Time at Middle/High School

YOUTH OPTIONS PROGRAM
Information for Students and Parents
The Boyceville Community School District does not discriminate on the basis of sex,
race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, creed, genetic information, pregnancy,
age, marital or parental status, sexual orientation, or disability in employment or
educational programs and activities.
YOUTH OPTIONS PROGRAM
The Youth Options program allows all public high school juniors and seniors who meet
certain requirements to take postsecondary courses at a Wisconsin technical college or
institution of higher education. An institution of higher education (IHE) includes UW
System institutions, tribally controlled colleges, and private, nonprofit institutions.
The program opens the door to greater learning opportunities for students who are
considering a technical career, students wishing to begin college early, or students
who want to prepare to enter the workforce immediately after high school graduation.
The student does not have to pay for a postsecondary course if the school board
determines the course may receive high school credit and the course is not
comparable to a course offered in the school district. If approved by the school
board, the student will receive both high school and postsecondary credit for a
successfully completed course. The high school will grant a diploma to a student
who has successfully completed high school graduation standards, regardless of
whether the requirements were met at the high school or postsecondary institution.
FORMS YOU NEED
A program plan and report form (PI-8700A) used to notify the school board of a
student’s intent to participate in the program may be obtained from your school
district, DPI, or DPI’s web address http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/dpi/dlsis/let/
youthop1.html. Application forms for admission to a postsecondary institution
may be obtained from your school district or the postsecondary institution.
ELIGIBILITY-STUDENT/PARENT RESPONSIBILITIES

Notify the school board (complete form PI-8700A) of the student’s
intention of enrolling in postsecondary institution no later than March 1 for a course to be taken in the fall semester; October 1 for a course to be taken in the spring semester.
Notify the school board if the student is admitted to the postsecondary institution.
Notify the school board if the student is registered to attend a post secondary course.
A parent or guardian in responsible for satisfactory student attendance and the student’s
compliance with the compulsory school attendance law under §118.15(1)(a), Stats.
PAYMENT OF TUITION AND FEES
The school board must pay for any course that is taken for high school
credit and that is not comparable to a course offered in the school district.
Transportation assistance is available from the DPI for low-income parents (eligible
for free/reduced lunch under the federal school lunch program). Transportation
costs may only be reimbursed if the student is taking a postsecondary course
for high school credit. A claim for transportation reimbursement form (PI8701) is available from your school, DPI, or http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/dpi/
dlsis/let/youthop1.html and must be submitted to the DPI no later than 30
days after the end of the college school semester to which the claim pertains.
A student is required, to the extent possible, to use public transportation or a vehicle
owned by his or her family.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q.
Can my high school refuse to participate in the Youth Options Program?
A.

Q.
Does the program apply to courses offered during the evenings and

BOYCEVILLE EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP TRUST
“BEST”
A total of $174,000 has been awarded from
funds managed under the BEST program since
its inception.
Providing scholarships for Boyceville High School
since 1995
History
In 1988 at the 30th reunion of the class of ’58,
Capt. James Harvey, USN, presented the idea
for a scholarship foundation. With the
involvement and guidance of several past
graduates as well as friends of the Boyceville
High School, the Boyceville Education
Scholarship Trust (BEST) became a tax exempt
organization on December 23, 1992.
The Foundation functioned independently for
the following 21 years, but has found
administration and scholarship management
becoming ever more complex for a volunteer
organization. After careful consideration, on
January 12, 2013, the BEST board of directors
made the decision to affiliate with the
Community Foundation of Dunn County
(CFDC). BEST now has the advantage of
CFDC’s staff, professional fund management,
as well as tax and legal resources that were not
previously available.
Types of Gifts
The Community Foundation Accepts all types
of gifts including:





Cash
Appreciated Stocks & Securities
IRAs
Life Insurance
Real Estate
Contributions can be made to the CFDC/BEST
in memory or honor of another family member
or friend.
Cash gifts may be made to CFDC/BEST at any
time in any amount. CFDS recommends that
donors always consult with their financial
planner and/or attorney when more complex
gifts are involved. Certain fund minimums and
administrative fees apply if a family, individual,
or business wants to establish their own BEST
fund. Donors may also contact the staff at
CFDC at any time concerning questions or more
information about charitable giving.
If you are interested in establishing a separate scholarship fund to benefit Boyceville High School, you may
contact the Community Foundation directly for a confidential meeting to discuss the many options that are
available. Certain minimums apply to establish a permanent fund.
BEST is a component fund of the Community Foundation of Dunn County (CFDC), a 501c3 non-profit
organization. All contributions are tax deductible to the greatest extent provided by law.
For questions, pleas call – The Community Foundation of Dunn County at 715-232-8019 or visit

If a bit demanding on
the details, chile rellenos
are surprisingly easy to
prepare. Every bit of effort
makes for a wonderful meal
completely reflective of the authentic Mexican household.
If you find yourself amidst a bounty of garden peppers,
rellenos freeze well. They are a great way to utilize garden
peppers while having something special and oven-ready for
a quick meal anytime you have a hankering for them. And
once tried, you WILL experience a hankering for them!
-Twelve to fourteen large Poblano or Anaheim peppers (no
others will do), choose ones that are smoother, easy to roast,
peel and stuff. Usually available in local markets as fresh,
canned peppers of this variety are an option. They will not
have the stems, which are nice for artistic appeal, but they
are a very easy alternative.
-Four or five large eggs, at room temperature, carefully
separated so as NOT to mix fragments of yolk with egg
(which greatly affects the volume of whipped whites you
will need).
-One pound (more or less according to what peppers will
hold) good melting cheese: Monterrey Jack, Mozzarella,
Pepper Jack are good choices. Cut into thick “sticks” that
will insert well into the peppers when roasted. Refrigerate
till ready to insert into peppers.
-Vegetable oil for frying, about a half inch deep into skillet
each round. Half olive oil makes for a healthier option, but
do moderate your heat at all times to sustain at medium.
-Two tablespoons flour, teaspoon salt and teaspoon baking
powder
Directions: Brush a wide skillet with vegetable oil, and
nestle as many (washed, patted dry) peppers as the skillet
will hold, leaving room for turning. Roast at a steady
medium, turning as each side of each pepper chars slightly,
till peppers go limp and are fully cooked, about 12-15
patient minutes, possibly more. Too high of heat will cause
too much char where skins will not easily peel, so keep heat
steady but medium to med-low. Let peppers cool.
When peppers are cool, peel them and create “slits” for
cheese sticks to be inserted. (Discard any juices from
roasting the peppers). Wash and dry the skillet you used for
roasting and pour oil(s) into it about one-half inch deep.

(Stuffed and battered
Mexican peppers)
District Newsletter
In a mixing bowl whip your egg whites with a mixer till very
frothy, almost stiff. When they are at this stage, continue
to run the mixer and add the yolks, salt, flour and baking
powder, till well incorporated. Begin heating the oil and
while you are waiting for it to reach a medium temperature,
fill the peppers with cheese. Keep in mind that some peppers
will tear and become less easy to manipulate, this is common
and just try to keep things together for a hand-dipping into
the batter. In the end, as messy as they seem, almost all will
finish as nicely as the next one.
One by one dip and coat by hand the peppers into the batter,
and scoot right into the hot oil. Have things lined up in
order; this is where things go fast and messy but so be it!
Keep moving right along, using a spatula or tongs to gently
turn over each relleno as it browns. They will puff and
look gorgeous, almost as good as they taste. One turning is
usually all that is necessary, depending on size of peppers.
You may need to turn some sides into the oil if puffing is
especially high, to brown all sides. Be gentle! The idea here
is simply to brown the batter to golden hues, and melt the
cheese within. With all sides golden, lift each pepper gently
to drain on paper toweling.
While frying, always moderate your heat. Lower or raise as
necessary. Keep rellenos in a warming oven (off toweling)
until ready to serve. Be prepared to be “deflated” in spirit a
bit as the rellenos almost without fail will deflate somewhat

within minutes of preparation. The nature of cooking science! But tasty as
you might imagine, nonetheless.
Serve rellenos with a side of Mexican rice, beans, (both or one) and warm
tortillas. Rellenos make an easy and delicious filling for burritos. As a tribute
to the magnificence of the rellenos of “El Rosal”, the family restaurant I
was a part of in California in the sixties, my extended family members have
always served this specialty with a special sauce, of course! Simply slice
tomatoes and onions into about 2 cups chicken broth or water, simmer with
garlic salt and snipped cilantro, and thicken with about two tablespoons of
flour stirred first into a smooth paste with a few tablespoons water. Lace rice
with this sauce also, for added delicious-ness.
How to Register: Drop off your registration form and payment to
any of our school offices or mail your registration form and payment
(payable to Community Education) to:

1003 Tiffany Street
Enjoy!
Registration Deadlines: Registration and payment must be received
on or before the ‘Register By’ date for each course. Late registration
opportunities cannot be guaranteed. Registration is complete upon
receipt of your payment on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Note: if you freeze rellenos, be sure to thaw completely in the refrigerator so
they will separate easily and keep their shape. Frozen rellenos tend to lose
significantly their “puff” but their flavor is for the most part unaffected. A
good solution for doing all the work one day and reaping the benefits very
simply another time.
Confirmation: If you provide an email address, confirmation of your
registration will be sent via email. Telephone confirmations will not be
made. You will only be notified if a class is full, cancelled, or if there
is a change in the date, time, or place.
Senior Tax Exchange Program (STEP)
What is STEP? The Senior Tax Exchange
Program provides an opportunity for social
T ax
security eligible senior citizens, age 62
or older, to participate in assisting with
E xchange activities in the school for a property tax
P rogram credit.
S enior
Who is eligible? Senior citizens age 62
or older that own a home and reside within the boundaries of the
Boyceville Community School District are eligible.
How much is the tax credit? In exchange for hours of participation,
qualifying applicants will earn a maximum property tax credit of
$429.00 (not to exceed 59 hours @ $7.25 per hour).
Program benefits: Program benefits extend beyond property tax
relief for the senior citizens – to students, school staff and into
the community. In addition to tax relief, participants will have the
opportunity to share their talents, gain an intergenerational experience
and make a difference in the lives of our students. Students will gain an
appreciation for the valuable contributions that senior citizens make to
the community. They will also have a chance to establish a relationship
with a positive role model, providing them with increased social and
emotional support. Above and beyond another set of hands, teachers
will appreciate the opportunity to demonstrate the many positive
things that are happening in our schools on a day-to-day basis.
What is expected of a STEP participant? STEP positions may
be short-term or long-term based on need. Participants might tutor
students during the school day or in after-school programs, read to or
with a child, help prepare special projects, assist with computers or
chaperone field trips. The list is endless based on the skills and talents
of the participants.
I’m interested, how can I get started? The first step is to complete a
STEP application. The application is available:
• On the School District Website under the Community Education
Tab
• In the School District Office
If you have a question or would like to request a form, please contact
Alesha Kersten at 715-643-3647. Staff members are asked to identify
areas where they need help and we will then match the participants
based on life skills and talent. All applications should be returned to
Alesha Kersten, Boyceville Community School District, 1003 Tiffany
St, Boyceville, WI 54725.
Cancellations: You will be notified by phone if your class has been
cancelled and all registration fees will be refunded to you.
