Eastview High School En-Lightning CONNECTIONS May 1998 “coming together is a beginning...keeping together is progress...working together is success!” Volume One Number Five Eastview Principal Honored as Outstanding Service Award Winner On Thursday April 23, Eastview Principal Dr. J. Richard Dewey was honored as one of six recipients of the District 196 Outstanding Service Award at the Partners in Education banquet. Dr. Dewey was nominated for this award by a committee of Eastview community members including teachers, administrators, parents and students. This award provides the special recognition that Dr. Dewey deserves, serving as the leader in the creation and success of Eastview High School. His vision, principles and leadership are at the core of what makes Eastview High School such as special place to be. Finding teachers, students, parents and colleagues who wanted to support Dr. Dewey’s nomination was an easy task. Here are a few of the comments included in the nomination: one parent wrote, “Dr. Dewey had a real vision for what Eastview should become. He has worked tirelessly to see that vision become a reality. The results are an outstanding facility, spirited student body and satisfied parents.” A colleague reflected, “ He is master at portraying positive self -regard in others and sincerely looks for the best in everyone.” Students continue to feel Dr. Dewey’s passion for and commitment to education. Several students commented on their principal’s school spirit and how he attends almost all concerts, plays, games, dances and other school events, before, during and after the school day. One student remarked that Dr. Dewey is “kind of like the father of Eastview High School.” Be it father-figure, mentor, team-builder, or leader, we are extremely proud of this recognition for Dr. Dewey and his commitment to Eastview High School. A Dozen Juniors Top PSAT Scoring List 1.1 million juniors from across the nation took the PSAT test in October of 1997. Of these students, approximately 50,000 with the highest scores have been selected for the first round of National Merit Qualification. Twelve EVHS juniors scored in the top 5 percent of the nation on this test, qualifying for this first round of Merit Scholarships. The Merit Program annually awards more than 1,400 scholarships worth about $28 million in total. Look for more information about these top students in the fall! Dr Dewey receives congratulations from board member Mary Hamann-Roland and superintendent, Dr. Haro. National Honor Society Induction Set for June 2 As its name indicates, the National Honor Society recognizes students for academic achievement and also for leadership and community service activities. The EVHS Honor Society has been active this year in a wide variety of service projects. Most recently the NHS helped at the Dakota County Crisis Nursery Spring Thaw fund-raiser and is currently planning for the spring Bloodmobile, to be held in the auxiliary gymnasium on May 22 from 7:30 -12:30. New NHS members will join this organization at the annual induction ceremony held in the Performing Arts Center on June 2. Make the Connection....

From the School Nurse Deanna Mason, RN LSN Immunization Information All District 196 students must meet the requirements of the state immunization law before the start of the 1998-99 school year. Students who have not met the immunization requirements by the first day of the 1998-99 school year will not be permitted to attend school until the requirements are met. The law sets specific requirements for immunizations which children must receive by certain ages in order to enroll or remain enrolled in school. For a student to enroll or remain enrolled in school, the student’s parent or guardian must have on file with the school a statement that the student is either: · · Up to date on required immunizations, or Legally exempt to one or more of the immunizations through a statement of medical exemption from a physician or a notarized statement of conscientious exemption from the parent or guardian. Immunizations are available for $5 each from the school nurse with the written permission of the student’s parent or guardian. (Immunizations are also available in doctors offices and at monthly walk-in immunization clinics held by the county.) If there are still students who are not properly immunized on the first day of school, the school will contact each student’s parent or guardian, and ask them to come to school and do one of the following: · sign a permission form allowing the school nurse to give the student the required immunizations; · take their child to be immunized at a different location; · give the school nurse a signed, notarized conscientious exemption form; · give the school nurse a medical exemption form from a physician, or · take their child home from school and not return the child to school until he or she has been immunized or an exemption form has been submitted to the school. The goal is to help ensure, with the cooperation of parents and guardians, that every student is in compliance with the state immunization law so that the district is not forced to keep students out of school on the first day of the 1998-99 school year. For more information about the immunization requirements and procedures, please contact our school nurse, Deanna Mason at 431-8923. Several EVHS groups are planning travel adventures during the 1998-99 school year. These travel opportunities provide the chance to experience another culture first hand. Experiences may include a family stay or an exchange with an international family. Trips currently in the planning stages include: French Summer 1999 Three weeks including Paris, the countryside and a family stay.

Technology teacher, Rob Franchino, was named the Central New Jersey Outstanding Technology Teacher of the Year for 1997 by the New Jersey Vocational Supervisors Association. Mr. Franchino is now the head of the EVHS technology and computer design department. Video/Multi-media specialist, Cliff Dodge, along with the students who produce The Flash, EVHS’ weekly onair magazine, appeared in the feature article of Panasonic Pro, a magazine for professional video technology users. The technology students use to produce their weekly programs is the most sophisticated available, allowing for professional quality video for the Eastview community. Students see The Flash at 10:10 a.m. each Thursday. Perspectives from the Principal Dr. J. Richard Dewey By All Accounts…. .....A Great Beginning !! “….I am excited to meet each of you, get to know you, listen to your thoughts, and share some dreams together. I am looking forward to coming together as a community and a family, with the plans, the resources, the people, and the courage to make this school the kind of place we want it to be. This will be a great school!….” (March 20, 1996) We did, and this IS a great school ! These were the first words written in a letter to each of you on March 20, 1996. Soon thereafter, literally thousands of students, parents, staff and community members joined forces. “….High School #4 will be an exciting, inviting, caring place to be. Students, parents, school people and members of our communities will work together to develop outstanding programs in a great new facility. While the building, the technology available to students and staff, and the surrounding athletic facilities will also be outstanding, the greatest strength of the school will be its people. Over the next 17 months, we will be working together to give High School #4 a name of its own, a mascot, school colors, a school song, and begin to develop the identity, the sense of community and the culture of our school….” (March 20, 1996) We did, and people ARE our greatest strength ! “….I have talked with many parents, students and community members who share my excitement, as we look forward to the unique opportunities that await us as we launch High School #4. This is our chance to be a part of history, as we establish the traditions and develop the culture of the school for ourselves and for the generation of students to follow. We will do it right; and, it will be a powerful source of pride that will make our school a special place to be….” (March 20, 1996) We did, you ARE now a part of history, the pride IS everywhere and Eastview High School IS a special place to be ! So many have done so much these past two years and you have made a difference. THANK YOU ! Sincerely, Dick Dewey Principal 3 A Message from the EVHS Police Liaison Officer Officer Doug Baird Safety at School Eastview High School is fortunate to have the services of Doug Baird, Apple Valley police liaison officer. Students should feel free to come to him for information, or to ask for help in any situation where they feel they are being bothered by another student. All students should be aware of the concern for safety at school and should take precautions for minimizing the risk of theft of students’ personal property. Here are a few suggestions for reducing the risk of theft: ■ Leave personal electronic items such as pagers, portable CD or casette players at home. ■ Keep an eye on personal property including backpacks and calculators while in class or in other areas of the building. ■ Lock your car and keep valuable personal property out of sight. ■ Don’t share combinations for school, physical education or athletic lockers. Officer Baird is also available to engrave personal property such as calculators with students’ names or ID numbers. This helps in returning items when they appear in the lost and found. With this thought for safety in mind, we wish all students a smooth close of this school year. Eastview High School Summer School June 15-July 8, 1998 Eastview High School will provide a summer school experience from June 15July 8 for students wishing to earn credit toward graduation. Courses offered will include: English, math, social studies, science and wellness for grades 9-11. These classes will be for make-up credit only. Classes in basic standard reading and basic standard math will also be available for students wishing to receive tutorial help in preparation for the basic standards tests. There is no cost for any of these classes. The summer school program will run Mondays through Fridays. Each day will have two sessions: Session 1 from 7:50-10:00 a.m. and Session 2 from 10:10 a.m.12:20 p.m. Each session is worth the equivalent of a one-quarter course or .75 credits. A student, therefore, could make up as much as 1.50 credits or two quarter length courses if he/she signs up for both sessions. There will be no school on Friday, July 3, 1998. Guidelines a. All students will be responsible for providing their own transportation to EVHS. b. A student who exceeds three (3) absences in any class will not receive credit for the course and will be dismissed from summer school. Three tardies will equal one absence. c. All regular school rules are in effect during summer school. d. The campus is closed between classes. e. All courses are subject to change or may be canceled due to the number of students enrolled or the availability of teachers to teach the course. Application Deadline Students may register for summer school by picking up an application in the Guidance Office, filling it out and returning it to the Guidance Office by Friday, May 29, 1998. U.S. Department of Education “The Hope Scholarship” and “Lifetime Learning Credits” As a result of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 the HOPE Scholarship and Lifetime Learning Credits were established to help college students reduce some of the financial burden of their college education. HOPE SCHOLARSHIP For students in their first two years of college (or other eligible post-secondary training), taxpayers will be eligible for a tax credit equal to 100% of the first $1,000 of tuition and fees and 50% of the second $1,000. The credit is phased out for joint filers between $80,000 and $100,000 of income, and for single filers between $40,000 and $50,000. The credit can be claimed in two taxable years (but not beyond the year when the student completes the first two years of college) with respect to any individual enrolled on at least a half-time basis for any portion of the year. LIFETIME LEARNING CREDITS For those beyond the first two years of college, or taking classes part-time to improve or up-grade their job skills, the family will receive a 20% tax credit for the first $5,000 of tuition and fees through 2002, and for the first $10,000 thereafter. The credit is available for net tuition and fees (less grant aid) paid for post-secondary enrollment after June 30, 1998. The credit is available on a per-taxpayer (family) basis, and is phased out at the same income levels as the HOPE Scholarship. 4 Academic Letters Awarded May 19 Students in grades 9-11 will be awarded an academic letter based on attainment of outstanding academic achievement over the past three quarters. This special recognition ceremony will take place in the Performing Arts Center at 7:00 p.m. on May 19. Students earning this special award and their parents are encouraged to attend.

Applied Technology Eastview High School was developed with a unique opportunity to combine technology infrastructure, facility design, and curriculum integration to maximize technology opportunities for our students. Technology as a tool for learning, teaching, communication and productivity has been a focus that has created immense opportunities for the Eastview High School community. We expect that our students will eventually enter the workplace with a rapidly growing need for technology savvy employees. The explosive growth of the Internet has given rise to expanding use of video and graphic information. We also believe that our students will increasingly be called upon to interact, manipulate, and create multimedia information. Opportunities are available for all students to be involved in courses ranging from Computer Applications, Programming, Design, Multimedia and Video Production. Although these courses are important to our curriculum, it is also a goal through close proximity of our cluster labs to all of our classrooms, to teach and integrate technology skills within the existing curriculum of all courses. Within the 9th grade, all students are exposed to a wide range of multimedia technologies. During the 10-12 grade years, students will continue to be challenged as their teachers require them to use, refine, and expand their technology skills in order to succeed in their course work. ___ Visit the college campuses you are interested in researching.

EVHS Spanish students and their teachers have had a very busy and successful school year! Forty-one EVHS Spanish students took the written portion of the National Spanish Exam in March. The following students were finalists in their respective levels and were invited to participate in an interview at the state contest: Joshua Mueller (level 1) Jessica Raddatz (level 2) Rebecca Collis (level 3) Christopher Leitschuh (level 3) Lindsey Miller (level 4) Elaine Tymchak (level 4) Also, special congratulations to Elaine Tymchak for placing first in the state for level four and to Jessica Raddatz for scoring in the top 5% in her level state-wide. During the weekend of April 17-19, eleven adventurous Spanish students representing all levels traveled to Concordia Language Villages. The theme of the weekend was “The Voices and Legends of the Andes”. The students used their Spanish skills to pass through customs, exchange their dollars for real Spanish pesetas and buy items in the camp stores. They learned about the ancient civilization of the Incas, tried traditional and modern dances, made crafts and ate food from Argentina and Chile. All of the students had a great time using their Spanish (especially with the various native speakers) and meeting new friends. Everyone is looking forward to this experience again next year! On April 23, Spanish IV students enjoyed a performance of “Radio Mambo” at the Mixed Blood Theater in Minneapolis. After the show, the group traveled to El Meson, where they had a delicious Latin American meal. STUDENT-ATHLETES INVOLVED IN SUMMER ACTIVITIES MUST APPLY FOR SUMMER WAIVER Sports Overview All Conference Athletes This spring the Minnesota State High School League amended their bylaw that creates opportunities for high school student-athletes in summer camps and clinics. In the past, high school coaches of some sports were only eligible to coach studentsathletes on their high school teams during their sport season. While the MSHSL accepted summer coaching waivers for some sports, other sports were not eligible for a waiver. Now, all coaches for all sports may apply for a waiver to coach student-athletes on their teams during the summer. This waiver will allow you to receive coaching from your coach beginning on Saturday, May 23 and ending on Friday July 31. If you are on a non-school team or an individual that is competing in an end-of-the-season tournament that is a natural extension of your summer season you may participate in that tournament and receive coaching from your coach through Labor Day. Remember you may not receive coaching from your coach outside your high school sports season and this summer waiver. To do so, is a violation that carries a penalty of a two week or two game suspension, whichever is longer. If you plan to participate in a summer camp, clinic or non-school summer league coached by your high school coach you must apply for a waiver. These waivers will be available in the athletic office and must be returned to the athletic office by Friday, May 15. You must understand that your participation in a summer camp, clinic or nonschool summer league coached by your high school coach is voluntary and your placement on your high school team is separate from you participation during the summer. For more information, you may contact your coach or Mr. Miller, Athletic Director, in the athletic office or by calling 431-8905.
