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!

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. REQUESTS for HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS may be done by accessing the listing of all staff on the East website and e-mailing your student’s teachers directly.

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] EAST HIGH SCHOOL NEWSLETTER—MAY/JUNE 2013 East High School’s AVID Program Recognized as National Model. East High Validated as National AVID Demonstration School. organizational strategies, study skills, critical thinking, tutorial support, and career and college awareness. In MMSD, AVID is partnered with the Teens of Promise (TOPS) program through 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 prep program across the country. East High will now serve as a national teaching and learning center for the implementation of AVID. Students in the AVID/TOPS program in MMSD are achieving “Not only is East High’s AVID/ higher GPAs, enrolling in more TOPS program making a differ- advanced placement courses, ence for our students, but it is and scoring higher on tests, acalso a national model for suc- cording to a recent analysis of cess,” Superintendent Jennifer the programs provided by the Cheatham said. “Congratulations Wisconsin Center for the Adto the staff and students at East vancement of Postsecondary and our partners at the Boys & Education (WISCAPE).

I’d like to thank the Boys & Girls Club for being such a valuable component in this successful program.” 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 the district for the AVID/TOPS program,” Michael Johnson, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Dane County said. “This partnership and program plays an instrumental role in the lives of so many young people and being a demonstration site will help other communities across the country learn from our collective work.” Congrats Eastside! Students, Parents, Staff and Community Partners-we are truly making a difference and we look forward to continuing our journey together. EAST HIGH SCHOOL NEWSLETTER—MAY/JUNE 2013 PAGE 9 The next EHU meeting is scheduled for May 9th at 7pm. Meetings are held in the East LMC and usually end by 8:30pm. The meeting on Thursday, May 9 will be the last EHU meeting of the 2012-2013 school year. Principal Mary Kelley will present her usual informative update, which will include information on East’s recent designation as an AVID Demonstration Site— and there will be a chance to talk with EHU Co-Coordinators for the 2013-2014 school year, Laura Chern and Lisa Newman, about the future of East High United. Thanks for another good year! 2012-1013 EHU co-coordinators, Helena Tsotsis (246-0036, [email protected]) & Ann Lacy (249-0231, [email protected]) Let’s show East’s great staff how much we appreciate them! During national Teacher Appreciation Week, East High United is sponsoring a Staff Appreciation Breakfast, on Wednesday, May 8th The breakfast will be set up in the LMC (Reference side) starting at 7am. There will be coffee from East’s own “MUGS”, and EHU will provide bagels and cream cheese. Parents, we need lots of tasty treats: fruit, breakfast casseroles, muffins, cookies, fruit salads, sweet rolls, juice, egg dishes, flowers… Pans and other dishes will be available for pickup in the main office later in the day—label with your name if possible! If you would be available to help set up that morning, or if you have any questions about the breakfast, please contact Ann Lacy (249-0231, [email protected]) EAST HIGH SCHOOL NEWSLETTER—MAY/JUNE 2013 G R A D E 9 PAGE 10 9th Grade—Assistant Principal Mikki Smith [email protected], 204-1557 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 2013-2014 AUGUST REGISTRATION DATES AT EAST HIGH SCHOOL August 16: *New Students to MMSD 8am—12pm and 1—4pm (*this does not include incoming freshmen from Black Hawk, O’Keeffe or Sherman Middle Schools) August 20 & 21: **All Grades 8am—12pm and 3—6pm (**New freshmen from Black Hawk, O’Keeffe & Sherman Middle Schools and returning East 10-12 graders) No registration between noon & 3pm—arrive timely as registration closes at 6pm!

EAST HIGH SCHOOL NEWSLETTER—MAY/JUNE 2013 G R A D E 10 PAGE 11 10th Grade—Assistant Principal Bea Bonet [email protected], 204-1557 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 G R A D E 11 11th Grade—Assistant Principal Randi Kubek [email protected], 204-1615 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. Randi Kubek EAST HIGH SCHOOL NEWSLETTER—MAY/JUNE 2013 G R A D E 12 PAGE 12 12th Grade—Assistant Principal Brian Borowski [email protected], 204-1608 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.

Contact the athletic office to make sure this is complete!!! 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 athletic director Dave Kapp ([email protected]) or athletic trainer Mandy Louderback ([email protected]) for more information on the testing procedure.

EAST HIGH SCHOOL NEWSLETTER—MAY/JUNE 2013 PAGE 30 FROM THE M A T H DEPARTMENT CYNTHIA CHIN 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. April East Engineering 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.

Plus, you are rendering a valuable service to math students and teachers at East. TA’s are assigned to first and second-year classes to assist individual students, help prepare and present lessons, and design assessments. They also meet weekly with each other and a teacher-mentor, Mr. Somerson. Talk to Mr. Somerson (Rm 3022 [email protected]) and your counselor about this today! Participants can earn elective credit towards graduation or Service E volunteer credit. **All All East students are invited to apply for Summer “Makerships” at Sector67--free memberships for the PAGE 31 summer, which include access to technology and tools, plus money for lessons and supplies.

More information will come home with students as details are finalized. 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.
