As summer draws to a close, we eagerly anticipate the return of our students to the Senior High School in just a few weeks. We understand that many of you have had a busy summer, juggling school activities, work, and time with family and friends.

We extend a warm welcome to our juniors and seniors as they return, and we are especially excited to greet our sophomores embarking on their first year at the Senior High School. Please take a moment to review the important information included in this newsletter.

A reminder that September 3rd marks the first day of school for sophomores, while juniors and seniors will start on September 4th. We invite everyone to join us at our open house afternoons on August 27th and 28th.

Until then, we hope you enjoy the remaining days of summer, and we look forward to a fantastic school year ahead!

Conflict Resolution Days are only for students whose schedules have empty periods or are missing requested classes needed for graduation requirements. It is not for students who wish to drop classes that were requested, add classes that were not requested or to make any other changes to their schedule which includes courses that were requested as alternates. Students who have empty periods or are missing requested classes needed for graduation should report to the Student Services offices:

Seniors - Tuesday, August 27th: 1:00-2:30 p.m.

Juniors - Tuesday, August 27th: 2:30-4:00 p.m.

Sophomores - Wednesday, August 28th: 2:30-5:30 p.m.

Students who cannot attend during these times should see their counselor on their first day of school.

Every effort is made to develop a master schedule according to student needs and interests. The process does involve students, parents and the school counselor. Each student must recognize that the scheduling process is a complex task and that their selections determine curriculum offerings, the final master schedule and teacher contracts. The amount of time and effort put into a flexible schedule is considerable and once final schedules have been established, schedule changes are strongly discouraged. Criteria for course changes are as follows:

• Medical reasons
• Computer error on the student’s schedule
  
• Two study halls in one semester
  
• Student IEP requires that modification be made
  
• Class needs to be added as it is a graduation requirement
  

All changes in student schedules should be initiated with the school counselor. Changes must be approved by a parent, school counselor, and principal.

Student schedules will be available to view in the Infinite Campus portal no later than August 16th.

The sophomores’ first day will begin on Tuesday, September 3rd, at 7:28 a.m. ending at 2:40 p.m. This day is focused on welcoming all sophomore students to the high school. They will spend the morning with their ELT participating in activities and touring the building.

Senior, Junior, and second semester sophomore students who meet the criteria for participation are eligible to participate in the Earned Privileges program during the school day. Student participation in Earned Privileges will be determined by the previous quarter’s attendance, behavior, and academic standing. Earned Privileges allow students to participate in open campus during the student’s assigned study hall and lunch. Students may choose to stay on campus during these times as well, as long as they stay in their assigned study hall room or IMC. Students returning early from open campus privileges must report to their assigned area.

The price will increase to $75 after 3 p.m. on January 17, 2025 and cannot be purchased until yearbook distribution in May on a first come, first served basis with limited supply.

Senior Photos

The deadline for submitting senior yearbook photos is November 15, 2024. Requirements were mailed last spring to parents and e-mailed to local photographers.

The list of basic requirements is below:

1. A colored head & shoulders photo. NO hands by face, hats, props, etc.
2. All photos need to be 300 dpi. (File saved: Student's last name, first name.)
3. A simple background is preferred.
4. No extreme angles – i.e. looking up at the photographer.
5. Photos need to be submitted by November 15, 2024. Photos should be sent to: srh-yearbook@dce.k12.wi.us.

Senior photos can be expensive. Seniors can have a photo taken by the school photographer at the start of the school year. Otherwise, a date will be set in December or early January for a local photographer to come to school to take yearbook portraits without charge for any interested seniors. Any questions, email srh-yearbook@dce.k12.wi.us.

Sophomore & Junior Photos

Sophomores and juniors must have their photo taken during Open House so you are pictured in the 2024-25 yearbook. Even if you do not buy school pictures, we need you to still have them taken.

The senior class picture will be taken on Tuesday, October 8, 2024 during ELT. All seniors will be dismissed from ELT to the field house after attendance is taken. All seniors are requested to be in the picture even though you may not want to buy one. Payment envelopes will be handed out prior to this day in ELT or can be paid for at this Link or by using the QR code to the right.

Student attendance at school is one of the most significant indicators of student success. We look to partner with our families to ensure the prioritization of student attendance and success. If a student is going to be absent from school, the parent/guardian must call (715) 359-6561 Ext: 4247 or email SRH-Attendance@dce.k12.wi.us before 7:28 a.m. Otherwise written communication with a parent/guardian signature should be submitted to the Attendance Office upon the student’s return to school. Per state statute, a student may be excused for up to 10 school days. A requested absence of 1 period or more counts as a day with an absence. If absences are not communicated, or a student has a recorded absence on 10 or more days, the absence will be considered unexcused and the student may be considered for truancy processes. These processes include loss of privileges, ELT restrictions, after school detentions, Saturday detentions, truancy citations, and potential truancy court.

School Lunch Menus, Pricing, & Payment information can be seen on the above link through the district website. There is a small fee to make payments online or checks/cash can be brought before school or during the morning class periods to the lunchroom checkout. Students use their PIN number to debit their accounts for their daily breakfast/lunch expenses. A week’s cost in the regular lunch line is $11.75 and breakfast is $7.75 (Ala-carte expenses vary).

The senior high school has many course offerings, which have varied requirements for school supplies. Our best advice is to purchase a moderate supply of pencils, pens, and a notebook and folder for each class. Teachers will provide lists of the needed supplies on the first day of classes.

There are some extra supplies available for senior high school students. If you are in need, please see your school counselor or social worker Cristin Czerwonka.

D.C. Everest administrators and staff have been proactively working with law enforcement, first responders and our Superintendent’s Office in Wisconsin to update our Comprehensive School Safety Plans and put into place effective drills that will help prepare us for incidents, emergencies or disasters that may occur at school or within the community. Below is important safety information we encourage you to review prior to the start of the school year.

Talk to Your Student About Safety

It is crucial for parents/guardians to be aware of the safety protocols at their child’s school. Engaging in conversations with your child(ren) about safety drills taking place at school is vital to helping them prepare for emergencies that may take place at school or elsewhere. By helping your student understand the district safety protocols (found below), you can help reduce fear and build a student’s trust in the systems we have in place. Open dialogues between parents, teachers, support staff and students strengthen our processes and emergency response plans. Below are the district safety protocols to review with your student.

Be Alert

“If you see something, say something!” This proactive approach is encouraged among students, parents and staff to ensure safety concerns are reported immediately to school administrators or appropriate first responders, especially if there is a potential for imminent danger.

Drills

DCE schools comply with Wisconsin safety drill mandates. Some of the safety drills we conduct are, per the mandates, unannounced. These drills provide the DCE safety team with the opportunity to assess the effectiveness of our responses. We conduct the first of our fire and lockdown drills within the first two weeks of school to ensure our students are informed and prepared for potential emergencies.

For the past several years, D.C. Everest has followed an established protocol in the event an unauthorized person enters the school building. If that occurs, a building-wide alert is announced, and students and staff are instructed to lock their classroom doors, turn off the lights, and hide while remaining quiet.

Research indicates, however, that to increase their chances of survival, students and staff should be provided with additional options when confronted with an intruder. Therefore, DCE has enhanced the traditional lockdown protocols with a new Run, Hide, Fight Training and Instruction that will be implemented across the District. These procedures are endorsed by safety experts across the country, including the Department of Homeland Security.

Run, Hide, Fight

In an active shooter situation, the protocol of Run, Hide, Fight is adopted:

• Run
• Have an escape route and plan in mind
• Leave your belongings behind
• Run regardless of whether others agree to follow
• Help others escape, if possible
• Prevent others from entering an area where the active shooter may be
• Call 911 when you are safe

• Hide
• Hide in an area out of the shooter’s view
• Lock the door or block the entry to your hiding place with tables, chairs or any other sizable item
• Silence your cell phone so you are not detected by the shooter

• Fight
• Fight as a last resort and only when your life is in imminent danger
• Attempt to incapacitate the shooter
• Commit to your actions — your life depends on it

Emergency Procedures

• Fire: Evacuate and do not return until it is deemed safe.

• Lockdown: Take action based on the nature of the threat, which may include locking doors and covering windows.

• Shelter in Place: Used during external threats, students are secured inside buildings.

• Reunification Off Site: In rare instances, where more distance is needed to ensure student safety, students may be relocated to another site for reunification with parents/guardians. Parents will be advised of reunification sites through our School Messenger all-call system, websites and social media channels.

• For your safety and the safety of students, staff and first responders, please:
• DO NOT REPORT TO THE SCHOOL — procedures are in place to safely and efficiently reunite students with parents/guardians.
• Ensure you have persons authorized to pick up your student(s) LISTED ON YOUR STUDENT’S EMERGENCY CARD in Infinite Campus (you can find more information linked HERE). No student will be released to any other adult, if not listed on the current emergency card.
• Have your photo ID with you at the reunification site; it will be required at the time of pickup​.

Communication During an Emergency

During an emergency at a D.C. Everest school, communication is distributed through the School Messenger all-call system, the district websites and our social media channels. To ensure you receive timely alerts, please update your emergency contact information. Please visit the DCE Safety and Security webpage to update your contact information in Infinite Campus.

Parents are advised to:

• Remain at home/work and monitor our communication channels (website, social media, email, texts) for updated information.

• Avoid sending repeated texts or phone calls to students’ personal cell phones; doing so may alert intruders to your child’s location and may tie up the cellular systems, potentially delaying a safe and effective response

• Refrain from proceeding to the site of the emergency — doing so may block roads and prevent First Responders from responding in a timely manner; only proceed to the site if advised to do so by the district or law enforcement

• Avoid posting unverified information to your social media channels — this can lead to mass confusion and misinformation

For any concerns or questions, please contact your building principal.

The D.C. Everest School District continues to create academic and social-emotional support systems linked directly to the assessed needs of our students. This system, known as the Everest System of Supports (E.S.S.), provides all students with timely and targeted instruction and intervention based upon the data-driven results of universal screening tools.

The primary purpose of universal screenings is to help all students be successful. By identifying students who are in need of more specialized academic or behavioral interventions, we can provide assistance and preventative measures as early as possible. Likewise, by identifying students with higher reasoning skills and talent potential, we can provide them with opportunities to participate in Honors, Advanced Placement, or Dual Enrollment programs as appropriate for the individual student.

These screenings include state or district tests, as well as specific academic or behavior screening tests. The screening assessments are typically administered to all students two or three times per year.

• The Bloomsights screening tool (grades 10-12) helps to identify the connections among students and provides them an opportunity to express their own concerns related to the school environment. It is a student completed screener that informs decision making at the student, classroom, and school level.

Thank you for supporting the D.C. Everest School District’s efforts to build a system of student supports linked directly to data. This initiative will ensure each of our students has the opportunity to receive the assistance they need to achieve academic and social-emotional success. Please do not hesitate to contact your building principal if you would like to discuss any of the screening processes or the options of opting your child out of a specific screener.

The parent newsletter will go out periodically thoughout the year via Infinite Campus email. If for any reason you prefer a hardcopy of the parent newsletter sent to you, please contact Melissa Barwick at mbarwick@dce.k12.wi.us or Dawn Seehafer at dseehafer@dce.k12.wi.us .

Support the D.C.E. Clothes Closet by donating new or gently used teen and adult clothing during our open house nights! Most needed items include: athletic pants and formal wear for homecoming (dresses, button downs, ties, slacks, etc.). Students have access to free monthly “thrifting” days throughout the school year. Please contact Mrs. Roskopf or Mrs. Paulson at (715) 359-6563 ext. 1201 with questions.

The D.C. Everest area School District, pursuant to the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act and State Statue 118.125(1)(d) and (2)(j) has designated the following as Directory Data as provided in said Act and Statute: The Board designates as student "directory information": a student's name; photograph; participation in officially-recognized activities and sports; height and weight, if a member of an athletic team; date of graduation; and degrees and awards received. More information may be found at: https://www.dce.k12.wi.us/district-info/district-notices. Senior High: Parents of secondary students may request their student’s name, address, school-provided email address, and telephone number not be released to military recruiters or institutions of higher education without prior written parental consent.

Under law, parents can opt out of having their student’s information shared with any military recruiter. Please notify Melissa Barwick at mbarwick@dce.k12.wi.us if you do not want to share this information with any of the military recruiters. See page 11 for more information.

The PSAT/NMSQT test will be given in October to interested sophomores and juniors. Specific date to be determined. This is an optional exam that tests students’ verbal, mathematical and writing abilities. If taken as a junior, the PSAT is the route of entry to the National Merit Scholarship.

All junior students will take the State required ACT test online on Tuesday, March 11, 2025 at the senior high school.

All sophomores will take the Pre-ACT test online sometime in April 2025 at the senior high school. This test covers English, reading, math, and science.

All sophomores will take the Forward test online sometime in April 2025 at the senior high school. This test covers social studies only.

We want to make sure you can best support your child.

HEALTH ROOM - Students in need of any medical care should report to the health room with permission of a staff member. The health assistant, with input from the student, will determine if a parent/guardian will be contacted or should pick the student up from school, depending on the illness of the student. Students who feel they need to go home due to an illness must allow the health assistant to make initial contact with the parent/guardian. A student should not make initial contact by personal phone to be picked up from school for medical reasons. This practice ensures quality medical care and accurate attendance of all our students. If the initial contact is not made through the health office and the student is picked up, it will be documented as excused per parent/guardian and will count towards their 10 days of allowed absences.

MEDICATION AT SCHOOL - The purpose of the medication procedure is to keep your student safe and provide him/her with the medication ordered. District staff will not give any medication - prescription and/or Over The Counter (OTC) - to any student unless the following criteria is met:

• Over The Counter (OTC) Medications
• Parent/Guardian signature is required for OTC medications.
• A physician’s signature is required if the dose needed of the OTC medication is more than the recommendations listed on the label, or if the medication is not FDA approved.
• Prescription Medications
• Parent/Guardian and physician signatures are required for all prescription medications.

• Prescription Medications must be in the original labeled pharmacy bottle. The label must clearly state:
• Student’s full name
• Name of medication
• Time to give medication and dose needed
• Physician’s name
• Date medication was dispensed
• OTC Medications must be in the original container or single dose unit package. Write your student’s name on the container.

Staff cannot give any medication sent in a plastic bag or envelope.

• During the school year, parent/guardian is called to pick up all unused, discontinued, or outdated medications.
• At the end of the school year, parent/guardian must pick up all medication.

Any unclaimed medication will be disposed of at the end of the school year.

• Emergency Medications: Students are allowed to self-carry emergency medications with physician’s authorization. Emergency medications must be labeled as outlined above. Parent/guardian must complete the appropriate form even if your student self-carries the medication. All students who receive an emergency medication will be taken by ambulance to the nearest emergency room. Parent/Guardian will be notified.
• Stock Medication: Students in grades 8-12 are able to take stock medication that the school provides. The medications that can be supplied are Ibuprofen and Tylenol. The OTC rules for dosing apply here as well. The Stock medication consent form is available in the main office, health room, or online. A new stock medication consent form must be completed each school year.

• Bring your student’s medication to the health office.
• Send only limited quantities of medication to school.
• No medication will be given to your student without your written consent.

IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS - The Wisconsin state immunization requirements for 2024-2025 school year are listed below. Students need the listed vaccinations by the first day of school.

• Parents/Guardians do have the option to decline any and/or all immunizations based on personal, religious, and/or health reasons. If you choose not to immunize your child, check the appropriate waiver (Step 4) and sign the form. Immunization waiver forms are available online.
• Please contact your student’s doctor or local health department to determine if your student needs additional immunizations. Schedule appointments to receive the immunizations needed or sign a waiver indicating what vaccine(s) you do not want your student to receive. Report the dates of the immunizations to the school health assistant.

Please contact the Senior High School Health Office at 715.359.6561 extension 4245 if you have further questions or concerns.
