The 2013 MMSD Recognition Ceremony was held at La Follette High
School on Monday, April 15th. East celebrated with the following staff
and students as they were recognized for all their hard work and dedication.
Awa Fofana —Joe Thomas Community Service Award for Students
Myles Strong —Joe Thomas Community Service Award for Students
Kristen Waters Guetschow — Support Personnel
Evan Gnam — High School Teachers
Langston Evans — Community PartnerPartner-Boys and Girls Club
Congratulations, we are so very proud of you! Go EAST!
East High School began working hard to become an AVID National
Demonstration School. Only 2% of all schools implementing AVID successfully achieve this status. An AVID Demonstration School is one
that uses AVID strategies with a high degree of fidelity across the curriculum resulting in improved outcomes for students. East will now
serve as a national teaching and learning center for the implementation of AVID. This is a tribute to the entire staff, students, AVID site
team and our wonderful community partners. This is a great accomplishment. Please read more details in this newsletter on page 8.
Also, the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and
School Improvement, an accreditation division of AdvancED was here
on April 15 and 16. The AdvancED External Review Team examined
artifacts, collected and analyzed data from interviews with staff, students, community members, and community partners. They visited
classrooms, reviewed lesson plans and evaluated the learning environment. We are pleased to report that we will be recommended for
accreditation from AdvancED. Several of our powerful practices included that students, parents and community members all expressed
appreciation for the warm and caring environment of East High
School. The school climate and culture embraces diversity through
appreciation, accommodation and acceptance of the various cultures
represented in our school. It was also noted that in their investigations they learned that each student is well known by at least one
adult, and that adult would advocate for them and support students in
reaching their academic goals. What a great tribute to our staff!

TELEPHONE MESSAGES
FOR STUDENTS
Telephone messages
received from parents
for their child can become a very big
problem for school office staff and teachers alike. Each time a
parent calls to leave
a message for a student, office staff must
answer
the
telephone, write up the
message, and leave
the office to take the
message to a classroom. This procedure
is very disruptive to
the classroom learning process. Parents
can assist by confining their requests to
EMERGENCY situations
only. Proper planning
and communication
would be greatly appreciated.
PERMISSION
TO
LEAVE SCHOOL
Parents! Remember
that students may
not leave school
without a pass from
their grade level office. If your student
has an appointment,
he or she must
check
out
and
check back in to
their grade level office. If your student is
ill, he or she MUST go
to the nurses’ office.
Proper parent notification and check
out will happen at
that time. Students
who leave school
without a pass will
be marked unexcused.
the left or send a
note with their child
the day before the
absence, if possible.
Students then go to
their grade level office to pick up a
blue pass excusing
them from class
early. Students coming in late should
have been called in
or have a note from
a parent, doctor, or
dentist.

The Parent Portal is a confidential and secure
website where you can get current information
about your child's school attendance and grades.
P A R E N T P O R TA L
Do you use the Portal? Have you
established access to this information? If not, here’s why you
should and how you can get access.
NOTE: You can sign up for Infinite
Campus in person in Room 1023
(The Freshman Office) at East
High School and must show a
valid driver’s license or state ID.
If you have questions or issues
after the initial set-up, we can
verify your identity over the
phone and assist with issues.
What is Infinite Campus?
Today, all K-12 school districts
use some sort of database system for managing student information and maintaining their
records. Infinite Campus is a district-wide student information
system designed to manage attendance, grades, schedules,
test scores, and other information about the students in the
MMSD. In 2007-08, Infinite Campus replaced another system
the MMSD had used since the
late 1980's.
What is the Infinite Campus Parent Portal?
The Parent Portal is a confidential and secure website where
parents and guardians can get
current information about their
child's school attendance and
grades.
What information is included in
the Portal? What do I use it for?
When you, as a parent or guardian, log-in, you have access to
information about all of the students for which you are associated. Class schedules, assignments and grades can be viewed.
E-mail hyperlinks facilitate communication with classroom
teachers. In addition, schools
post important information on
the home page, such as events,
notices, etc. Attendance information is also available. The Parent
Portal allows report cards to be
viewed online and printed.
Through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal, MMSD provides an
online communication tool which
can help you as a parent or
guardian stay current with your
student's progress. From an
Internet connection at home, the
workplace or any public library,
you can view up-to-date informa-
tion about your student's attendance and grades.
How do I first use the Infinite
Campus Parent Portal?
You must set up a user account
in order to use the Portal. Your
child's school provides you with
a Parent Portal activation code.
By using this code and following
the instructions in the Parent
Portal User Setup Guide, you
can setup your own user account for the Parent Portal.
The Infinite Campus Parent Portal
is
located
at:
http://infosvcweb.madison.k12.
wi.us/ic/entry_public. We recommend you "bookmark" this
location after you get your account enabled. After you go
through the process of creating
your user name and password,
write them down and keep
them in a place where you can
refer to them at a later date.
The user name and password
will allow you to see student
information, but only for those
children for whom you are a
parent or guardian.
If you have questions, contact Jessica Penning at 204-1613 or [email protected]

skills, critical thinking, tutorial
support, and career and college
awareness. In MMSD, AVID is
partnered with the Teens of

the Boys & Girls Club of Dane
County. TOPS provides full-time
student coordinators in each of
the four high schools, summer
internships, after-school mentors,
funding for more than 40 tutors
during the elective course, and a
variety of college and
career field trips.
The Madison Metropolitan School
District (MMSD) announced today
that East High School has been
validated as a National AVID
Demonstration School, a distinction given only to the top 2% of
schools implementing the college

East High will now serve as a national teaching and learning center for the implementation of

The partnership between the
Boys & Girls Club and MMSD is
not only unique among the
4,000 Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide, but it is also the only such
partnership for AVID implementation in districts across the
country.
“We are honored to partner with

Parents/Guardians;
It is hard to believe the end of the school year is just around the corner. September 4th seems
like a decade ago.
Last week, as I was supervising freshman lunch, I couldn’t help but notice how far our freshmen
have come since the beginning of the school year. Thinking back to last September, I recall how
intimidated our freshmen seemed; by the size of the building, the amount of homework, and
just the newness of it all. I am truly impressed with how they’ve learned to navigate East and
how they have begun to find their niche within the school community. They are surely maturing.
With the final quarter underway, and summer fast approaching (hopefully the weather will cooperate), it is only normal for students (and teachers) to start getting antsy for summer vacation sleeping late and no homework. Please help us remind them to keep their head in the game
and to finish strong. There is still a lot of work to do.
Your child took the EXPLORE test or PLAN test right before spring break. We recently mailed
your child's results home. We are in the process of making plans for teachers to review the results with your child. This review should take place in the next few weeks. If you have specific
questions about your child’s score, please contact their guidance counselor.
If you have any questions or concerns after school breaks for the summer, please do not hesitate to contact me. While I will be in the office a good deal of June and July, I will not have set
days. Therefore, email is the best way to get a hold of me.
Have a great summer break.
See you in the fall,
Mikki Smith

Salutations Sophomores and Families
I can't believe the year is almost over and this is the final Newsletter of 2012-13 School Year! This year sure
has flown by - what great accomplishments so many of our sophomores have made this year! From getting
their drivers license or permit, obtaining their first job, making honor roll and receiving recognition for it, acting
in the award winning one act play, scoring that final basket in basketball game or performing a fantastic number at Cabaret. this sophomore class truly is gifted and talented in so many ways, from academics, to leadership on Congress, to amazing talent in Show Choir or East Side Players. Yes I am very proud of each and every
one of my sophomore - soon to be juniors!
That being said - we will soon be Juniors and with Junior year comes more focus on grades and school work,
college visits and ACT's, more independence but more responsibilities. I expect great things from all of you your
Junior year and beyond - you have two short years remaining at east High School - make the most of them! Join
that club you always wanted to try, take that hand drumming or guitar class - think outside the box and try
something totally different - this is your chance to do that. By trying new classes and things you'll get an idea of
what career path you want to go on once you leave East - be it military, vocational school, an apprenticeship or
a prestigious University
In closing, make sure you've talked with your counselor and signed up for the classes you need to if you have
to do summer school - if you've got a job make sure you also sign up for work credit during the summer - every
bit helps if you are credit deficient and summer school isn't that long. If you have all your credits in order you
may still be looking for a job this summer, it will give you fiscal responsibility and get you meeting new people
and learning great skills that will carry you through life. I'll be in and out of the office most of the summer so
please don't hesitate to call me at 204-1557 should you have any questions or concerns. Have a safe, relaxing
and fun filled summer! See you all back here in September!
Best Regards,
Beatriz Bonet

Prom: Junior Prom took place at Monona Terrace on April 27 and it was absolutely fabulous! Juniors worked
hard during the weeks leading up to Prom, helping to make sure that everything was ready to create memories
for East Juniors. They should be commended for their focus and energy.
ACT update:
Individual ACT results from the March 19 EPAS district testing date should have been received at your homes
by mail. If your student tested during the April 2 makeup test date, those results have not yet been mailed and
you should look for them within the next 1-2 weeks. Anyone who did not receive their individual score reports
should contact ACT at www.actstudent.org. Students will need to use their ACT ID number or their social security number to create an online account. East High School counselors have access to scores in a whole-school
format; they do not have individual student reports.
In the weeks to come, East will use the ACT scores, as well as all EPAS test scores, to identify curricular gaps
and to help determine curricula in our classrooms. We continue to remain focused on learning benchmarks
and will use this most recent data to help inform areas of need.
Students wishing to re-take the ACT, or take it for the first time (in cases where they did not participate at East
on either March 19 or April 2), the remaining test date is Saturday, June 8. Students should see their counselors for registration information, or go to www.act.org for registration information.

We have finally made it to the end. I just want to thank Senior Parents and Guardians for such
a great experience with your students. I have truly enjoyed working with them and getting to
know them. As graduation approaches, please stay on your students regarding attendance and
maintaining their efforts in school. If they start sliding now, it will be more difficult for them to
get back into the routine of school/work as they move forward in their lives. That being said, I
am truly going to miss having this group of seniors in our school. They are respectful, kind,
challenging, adventurous, and most of all, they are what makes East High School what it is.
Good luck graduates and thank you parents and guardians for getting them to graduation. Seniors, please thank someone at East for your success. Staff would truly appreciate a kind word
or note as you head off to your future endeavors.
Lockers: Lockers will need to be cleaned out by noon Wednesday June 12th. All locks need to
be left on lockers or East will charge $5 for a replacement. Please have your students make
sure that they have all items out of their locker and books are returned to teachers.
PBS (Positive Behavior Supports) Update: Tardies: 48,296 last year at this time (April), 38,224
this year (21% reduction). The culture is shifting this area and it is because of staff’s hard work
and your encouragement and support. We still have a great deal of work to do in this area.
Attendance: Too many of our students are missing school at an alarming rate. We all need to
encourage our students to come to school and stay in school as much as possible. 43% of our
seniors have missed 5 days in the last 45 school days. Senior parents, please help to get these
kiddos to school. It helps with graduation rates, Department of Public Instruction concerns
(School Report Card) additionally, we enjoy seeing all of our students being successful.
Next Year: I will be looping down to pick up the current 9th Grade students. I will be with them
for 3 years (until their Senior year). Current 9th grade parents/guardians, please feel free to
contact me over the summer with any of your concerns regarding your students.
Thanks again for a great ride Seniors.

IMPACT TESTING
Concussion safety is an important aspect of high school athletics. The ImPACT test is a computerized testing program that
assists medical doctors, training staff, and other health professionals to better understand when it is safe for athletes to return to participate in sports. The test is administered on a computer to each student-athlete and measures brain functions
like memory, reaction time, and attention span.
The ImPACT test provides an individualized baseline record of brain functioning that is used to assess where a concussed
athlete is in the recovery process and how quickly they can make a safe return to the sport. As concussions can have a variety of effects on different people, having individualized baseline knowledge of a student-athlete’s brain function allows medical staff to understand a concussion’s effects on that particular student.
Madison East High School currently offers FREE team-wide testing at the beginning of the season for each of the following
sports:
Football
Boys and girls soccer
Wrestling
Boys and girls basketball
Hockey
Gymnastics
Softball
Baseball
Track and field (pole vault)
The ImPACT test is also available at NO COST to any other East High School athletes that wish to take the test. Please contact

Open Your Door to the World with AFS
Something extraordinary happens when you share your home and family with a high school student from another country.
That’s why 13,000 families worldwide host students through AFS every year. You can help build
bridges of intercultural understanding by sharing your home and daily life with an AFS high
school exchange student.
Founded by volunteer ambulance drivers after World War II, AFS has led high school student exchange for more than 65 years. Family life, eating meals together, going to the movies, and playing sports makes all the difference for a young visitor studying in the United States.
Families of all kinds are needed to host high school students as well as teachers from around the
world. AFS Volunteers support families and students during their stay. Host families provide a
bed, meals, and guidance. There's no place like your home.

Celebrating our Students
Students in AP Calculus BC and AP
Environmental Science recently
completed collaborative research
papers.
papers Working in small, crossdisciplinary groups, students modeled species extinction, predatorprey interactions, the concentration
of phosphorous in Madison lakes,
and atmospheric carbon dioxide. Students submitted formal
papers in a 'double-blind' process of
peer review to simulate the experience of publishing a scholarly article. Four students—Zoe Koenig,
Mary Ottelien, Jaia Werner, Cora
Wiese Moore—submitted East’s first
ever entry in the Moody’s Mathematical Modeling Challenge at the
beginning of March. Their paper,
one of 1054 entries nationwide
(but not one of the 175 advancing
to a second round), contained projections of plastic accumulation in
landfills and recommendations on
how to structure both rural and urban recycling initiatives. Results
from all of these projects will be
presented school-wide during Math
Week, May 20-24.
Other presenters during Math Week
include faculty and students from
UW-Madison, Madison Area Technical College, and ITT Tech, on topics
ranging from “Whatever happened
to the metric system?” and “Fair
Division”, to “Digital Art”.
Lakeview and Emerson Elementary
Schools hosted Family Science
Nights in April.

Club students Erin Barry, Jacob
Benford, Nyika Campbell, Alondra
Harris, Ricardo Ruiz, and Myles
Strong helped students and their
adult friends to build geodesic
domes and other model homes designed to resist the elements of
heat, wind, rain, and snow.
Did you know that IUPUI is a
“Jeopardy” question? [What is the
College with the Longest Name?—
Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis!] Alondra Harris, JJ Hilliard, Tobias Pointer, and
Josh Spitzer-Resnick spent three
days attending academic and preprofessional workshops, and visiting both IUPUI and the Motor
Speedway in Indianapolis at the
end of March. They would be
happy to tell you more about their
experience as guests of NSBE
(National
National Society of Black Engineers), and what they learned
from their robotics exhibition.
East’s LEGO robot team (Alondra,
Tobias, Josh, and Erin Barry, who
could not attend) placed 8th out of
27 high school groups from
around the country, earning high
marks for the written report and
powerpoint presentation. (The latter was distributed throughout
NSBE’s Midwest Region last fall as
a model for all teams to emulate.
Other schools’ use of the East template was very noticeable in national competition. Now we get to
step up our game and try to set
the bar again next year!)
Engineering, Math and History students raised $1708 in our annual
February penny drive.
drive
$855 will go to a safe water project recently undertaken by the UW
-Madison chapter of Engineers
Without Borders in the foothills of
Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. The remaining funds assisted with travel
to the NSBE conference in Indianapolis and helped East and future
East students ( at BlackHawk) to
attend the Engineering EXPO in
mid-April. THANK YOU to everyone
who participated!

Summer Opportunities
There are only a handful of weeks before our students leave East High and the World Language Department, to pursue the
work and academic opportunities that summer provides (not to mention all the laying around). Summer is a great time for our
students to have more freedom in their schedules, and to just have some fun, but it is also a point in the year that their abilities as second-language learners regress, as they do not have the daily exposure and practice to the language that they are
taking. So, whether or not our students would like to hear them, it is our responsibility as East High families to provide opportunities in which language learners can continue their practice to the second language during the summer, while having fun
and interacting with many cultural influences. The East side of Madison is a wonderful place in this regard, because it offers a
host of ways in which students can keep up with their languages during those months off. Take a look at the list of activities
below, and feel free to contact the organizations directly, or to contact your student’s teacher for more information. In addition, remember that any volunteer work that your student does in the summer can count towards service E credits.
French
La Fête de Marquette: An actual festival dedicated to francophone culture and music. Fête de Marquette is sponsored by local
businesses and all profit goes toward the Wil-Mar Community Center. This year’s celebration takes place July 11-14. French
Students will participate in the taste testing for sponsors on Friday, July 12, and the brunch Sunday, July 14. Please contact
AJay Lenz for more information.
French Camp, UW extension: French camp is an annual summer day camp for kids hosted at the French House on the university campus. They are looking for volunteers to help with morning and afternoon classes, along with course preparation. The
camp takes place the last two weeks of June, and you can contact Aaron Jossart for information.
Spanish
Volunteering at the Centro Hispano: Centro Hispano is a non-profit organization that works with Latina families in need of assistance. They always appreciate volunteers that can speak Spanish. Please visit their website at micentro.org, and follow the
links to volunteer.
Volunteering with food assistance: The Madison & Dane county food resource guide lists organizations that have food pantries
and provide meals for those in need. Bilingual volunteers are always appreciated. Look up ‘Madison Food Resource Guide’ on
the web or contact Aaron Jossart for more information.
Univisión:
Univisión That’s right, Univisión. They have many of the same reality programs that we all know and love (Look Who Can
Dance, The Biggest Loser, America’s Got Talent), and their website has a news section that contains a lot of information. Get
you and your family hooked!
All languages taught at East
Madison language exchange: This website helps find conversation partners for second language learners, in order to have a
conversation in English and a conversation in the target language, helping each native speaker better their second language.
It is a reliable site that offers face-to-face interaction as well as audio and written communication. Like all internet connections, this site should be treated with caution when setting up interviews. It is an excellent way to keep up language and learn
about another culture. Investigate the website at www.mylanguageexchange.com.
Concordia language villages: Concordia is a wonderful organization that brings immersion programs in all of our languages
offered here at East. They have a variety of programs available, some from one day to others of six-weeks in length. Visit their
website for more information, but summer is soon, so you would need to sign up pronto!
Host a student: Open your home to a student from another country and really practice your language! Summer and full-year
placements are available. Contact a World Language teacher for more information.
So, do your students a favor and help them find an activity this summer so they can continue to practice their second language, and experience new cultural perspectives. Although they might not thank you right away, they will certainly appreciate
it later.
