MILLARD WEST LIBRARY Our many voracious readers will be happy to see hundreds of new books on our shelves. It never ceases to amaze the staff that so many of our kids just love to read! Technology plays a huge part in education today. Every Fall we encourage students to invest in a personal flash drive. Most of us have learned the hard way that we really do need to save twice.

MORNING BUILDING ACCESS Millard West students are able to enter the main entrance beginning at 6:15 a.m. The main East entrance will be the only way to enter the building before 7:15 a.m. The entrance on the West side will be open for student entry at 7:15 a.m. Tables and chairs are available in the commons area before school for students to study or eat breakfast purchased in either the Catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Den or cafeteria. PLEASE UPDATE YOUR E-MAIL Parents and Guardians Millard West communicates primarily via e-mail. We do not want you to miss any information we are sending out to you. If your e-mail has changed, please e-mail: kgfusselman@mpsomaha.org or call the Guidance Office at 402-715-6015. STUDENT PARKING This is a reminder that Millard West offers campus parking for a yearly fee of $35. For this fee students are issued a parking decal and can park in student parking areas on campus. The student must provide a parking registration form signed by a parent and the student. Only the vehicle with a valid parking decal can use student parking areas. Students with a valid parking decal are free to drive another vehicle to school, but this vehicle must be registered in the attendance office on a daily basis. Students can purchase a second decal for $5. Purchasing a parking decal does not guarantee a parking space in the school parking lot. Please feel free to contact Stacy Longacre at 402-715-6006 if you have any questions regarding parking procedures. Money generated by the sale of parking decals is used to provide an outside security person to maintain the safety of student and staff vehicles. Millard West has a very low rate of damage or theft in student parking areas and the outside security plays a large role in this. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! Every term, the students in the Oral Communications classes (Speech, Debate and Forensics) go through a Mock Job Interview. For this project, we need anywhere between 2530 community members to come in and interview the students. If interested, please contact Jennifer Jerome at jmjerome@mpsomaha.org DONATE YOUR OLD LAPTOP, TABLET, ANDROID OR APPLE DEVICE Do you have an old laptop tablet or android or apple device lying around that you no longer? Consider donating it to our computer science classes. They are in need of old laptops and other devices (do not need to be in working order) for a computer rebuilding project. You can remove the hard-drive before donating if you would like. Please bring them to the Administration Office to donate. Thank you! SCHOOL LUNCH ACCOUNTS

ATTENDANCE OFFICE INFORMATION CLIP AND SAVE

Attendance 402-715-6010 (Use this number to report absences, call students in late, appointments, or phone messages) Guidance & Pupil Services 402-715-6015 Activities 402-715-6025 Millard West Main Number 402-715-6000 DAILY ATTENDANCE & TARDIES Parents and students are reminded that classes begin at 8:45 a.m. each Monday morning and at 8:00 a.m. Tuesday through Friday during the year. Students are recommended to follow a morning routine that allows them to arrive at school at least 15 minutes before class begins. This arrival time allows adequate time to socialize, organize school materials, and report to class a few minutes early. On a daily basis, many of our late students enter the building from 1 to 10 minutes late. Students leaving the house 15 to 20 minutes earlier can easily eliminate this problem. Students send a positive message to their teachers and don’t miss valuable learning time when present in class on time each day. Thank you to those students who are on time for class every day. This is one of those seemingly little things in life that can make a big difference. REPORTING ABSENCES If a student is absent from school, a parent/guardian should call the Attendance Office at 402-715-6010 or 402-715-6011 the same day to report the absence. Parents/guardians are expected to call each day the student is absent from school unless other arrangements have been made with the Attendance Office. A phone call will be adequate notice of the student’s absence from school. Handwritten notes will not be accepted by the Attendance Office to report an absence.

A SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE ATTENDANCE OFFICE Being responsible for tracking the attendance of over 2400 students daily is a huge job. As a result, the Millard West Attendance Office is an extremely busy place between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. The attendance secretaries have a wide variety of responsibilities during the school day and each works very hard to serve the Millard West community. Incoming phone calls to the Attendance Office are numerous during the school day. We fully understand the need for parents to contact the Attendance Office to communicate about students needing to leave school for medical appointments, family emergencies, or other appointments. Coordinating these phone calls and providing necessary passes to students consumes an extensive amount of staff time. Please reserve your phone calls to necessary appointments and other Attendance Office business. Much too frequently our phone lines and staff time are tied up with calls requesting students to be dismissed to leave campus for lunch or to be dismissed from attendance at study hall. Millard School Board Policy states that students in grades 9 through 11 are expected to be in school all day. This group of students does not have open campus privileges and can’t be dismissed for lunch or study hall. We are asking you as parents not to make these type of calls. They consume valuable time of our Attendance Office staff. Thank you for your help with this matter. Your students will be seniors before you know it and will have earned the privilege of open campus. 13

TARDY RULES A student will be assigned to Tuesday/Thursday school when late to a class or Quality Time 6 times. Additional tardiness will result in disciplinary action including but not limited to Tuesday/Thursday School, suspension, removal from class with a grade of 5. Students arriving more than 20 minutes late for class will be recorded as excessively tardy (ET) and subject to disciplinary action. CELL PHONES/PERSONAL TECHNOLOGY DEVICES Student use of cell phones/personal technology devices is permitted during passing periods and in the cafeteria during lunch. Students will not be permitted to use cell phones/ technology devices in school classrooms for non-educational purposes (texting, taking pictures, accessing Facebook, playing games, etc.). A classroom teacher may permit use of cell phones/devices during class/quality time for instructional purposes only. Any student use of a cell phone/technology device which disrupts a classroom can be cause for teacher confiscation of the item. The confiscated phone/device may be either returned by the teacher or given to a school administrator at the end of the class period. Failure to give the phone/device to any staff member upon request will be considered insubordination resulting in disciplinary action. Multiple infractions of classroom disruption involving a cell phone/device will result in escalated consequences. STUDENT HANDBOOK During the first week of the new school year all students were issued a copy of the 2014-2015 Millard West Student Handbook. The handbook includes information specific to Millard West along with the Millard Public Schools Standards for Student Conduct. The Standards for Student Conduct apply to all Millard Public School students. Parents are urged to review the student handbook with students. It is important for both parents and students to know the contents of the Code of Conduct. Please take the time to read through and discuss this document with your student(s). DRESS CODE It is important for students and parents to be aware of Millard West dress restrictions. Tanktops (without t-shirt underneath), halter tops, spaghetti strap tops, mesh clothing, and other such revealing clothing is not acceptable for school. As a simple reference, shirts or blouses worn to school must completely cover the back and stomach of the student. Any garment should also have sleeves completely covering both shoulders. Excessively short skirts and shorts are not permitted to be worn in the school building. T-shirt manufacturers continue to develop clothing inappropriate for the school setting. Noted below are examples of T-shirt messages, statements, illustrations, etc., not acceptable to be worn at Millard West.  Vulgar or offensive messages.  Sexually explicit or sexual innuendo (inferences).  Demeaning or derogatory statements related to individuals or groups of persons (racial, ethnic,sexual orientation, etc).  Promotion of drugs, tobacco, alcohol.  Promotion of violence, weapons, aggression, etc. We know that parents and students will demonstrate good judgment while shopping for school clothes. The Millard West student body is expected to enter the school building each day “dressed to learn”. Please expect students to be confronted by a staff member if their dress is judged to be inappropriate. Millard West is a place of learning and appropriate school dress does make a positive difference.

The Show Choir season is beginning to wind down with only one competition remaining in March. So far this year, the three Millard West Show Choirs: Swing Cats, Uptown Girls & West in the Groove, have performed at Ankeny Centennial High School, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Elkhorn South High School & Grand Island Senior High School. All 3 groups have competed very well this year. Swing Cats has continued to improve with each and every performance and has really come a long way since the beginning of the year. The Uptown Girls continue to exceed expectations winning the women's division in every competition the past two years. West in the Groove has also had a stellar year, qualifying for Finals at every competition, finishing highly ranked, including Grand Champion and 1st Runner-up with multiple caption awards for Best Vocals, Best Choreography, & Best Band. The Final competition of the year is a big one as the show choirs head to La Crosse, Wisconsin for the Grand River National Show Choir Invitational on March 21st. It will be very exciting to compete against groups we don't normally see and experience something new and different. The Show Choirs will also have an opportunity to attend a concert the day before the contest featuring Broadway performer Natalie Weiss. In addition to the show choir contest, we also have 8 students participating in a solo contest, with Natalie Weiss adjudicating. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a great year for the show choir program! Mark your calendars for our end of the year celebration known as "That Show Choir Show" on Friday, April 11th here at Millard West.

PARENT POWER Parents, you have the greatest power to influence your children—even your teens. You have more power than any law, peer, teacher, coach, or any family member to empower your children to make sensible, healthy choices throughout adolescence. The key to Parent Power is being engaged in your children’s lives. Hands-on parenting includes: ·

Having frequent family dinners

Supervising your kids

Setting boundaries

Establishing standards of behaviors (and consequences for failure to meet those standards)

Showing interest in their school, friends and activities

Loving and disciplining them

Being a good role model

Why is parental engagement so important? Because children of hands-on parents are far less likely to smoke, drink, or use other drugs. During childhood and adolescence, drug use can interfere with your child’s physical, emotional, and cognitive development. The earlier and more often an adolescent uses substances, the likelier he is to become addicted. Every year, month, and day that your child goes without taking that first puff, sip, hit, or pill decreases the likelihood that he or she will become addicted, develop related mental or physical illnesses as a result of substance abuse, or suffer tragic consequences of a substance-related accident. Through your engagement, you can influence, teach, encourage, correct, and support your children so that they develop the will and skills to choose not to use tobacco, alcohol, or other drugs.

There are various summer camps, workshops and classes available to teens. A summer camp can provide in-depth, hands-on experiences as well as focus on a potential career path. Taking college courses can shorten the time it takes to earn a college degree and perhaps save money on the cost of college. High school students who perform well in college courses make attractive admissions candidates because they demonstrate that they can handle the rigors and expectations of college-level work. Metro Community College offers CollegeNow! to high school students 16 years of age and older. Resident Nebraska high school students receive half-price tuition each quarter through the summer quarter of their graduation year. Summer classes begin June 5. NextStep is a program designed by Creighton University for academically motivated high school juniors and seniors in good standing. Next Step is a great way to get a feel for college life, explore academic opportunities and interact with accomplished faculty. Students are eligible to enroll in the Next Step Program with reduced tuition the summer AFTER their sophomore year through their senior year of high school. Graduating seniors are NOT eligible for the discounted tuition rate the summer after their senior year. Check out UNO summer camps at www.unomaha.edu/camps. There will be a jazz camp for enthusiastic instrumental students and vocal students to learn more about jazz theory, improvisation and performance. A “techademy” with workshops on bioinformatics, IT innovation and digital music synthesis is planned. UNO also has math and science camps plus athletic camps. Engineering, Outdoor Nebraska, Filmmaking, Weather & Climate Science, Education, Digital Arts, Veterinary Science - these are just a few of the options available to students at the 2015 BIG RED ACADEMIC CAMPS to be held during the week of June 7-12, 2015.

Dual Enrollment Opportunities Millard West 2014-2015 Students taking specified Advanced Placement Courses are given the opportunity to dual enroll for college credit as well as high school credit. Currently Millard Public Schools is working with the University of Nebraska at Omaha. UNO determines which of Millard’s courses align with their college curriculum and which of Millard’s teachers qualify as adjunct professors. Only those courses and teachers approved by UNO offer the option of dual enrollment credit. Students must have a cumulative GPA of a 3.0 or greater in order to qualify for dual enrollment credit. Students must also sign up for dual enrollment credit while enrolled in the corresponding Millard course. Students will not be allowed to retroactively pay for dual enrollment credit. Enrollment requirements are set by UNO and may be changed by them prior to any registration period. Students will earn credit from UNO and will need to have a transcript from UNO sent to the university they plan on attending. As with all transfer credit, the attending universities decide if and how they accept the transfer credit from UNO. It is recommended that students call the attending college and ask about the acceptance of the specific transfer credit before enrolling in the dual enrollment course. If a student is enrolling in a science or math program, the attending university may not accept dual enrollment credit in science and math. Most dual enrollment credits will transfer as general required courses rather than as majorspecific course work. Students should call the admission’s office at the university they are planning on attending to check for specific information on transfer credit acceptance. All Advanced Placement Courses offer Advanced Placement Testing through the College Board each spring. All students enrolled in AP courses are expected to take the corresponding AP exams. Students may qualify for college credit depending on the grade they earn on the exam(s) and the university they are attending. A list of Advanced Placement credits granted by all colleges/universities is available at: http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/apcreditpolicy/index.jsp UNO’s Enrollment Process A UNO representative will visit the dual enrollment courses two weeks prior to the online registration deadline. The cost for each course, each semester will be $250 whether it is for a three-credit, four-credit, or fivecredit class. Millard West will send the registrations to UNO. Each parent/student will receive a bill from the University and will pay UNO directly. No money should be given to Millard West. The $250 fee is a significant reduction in the normal tuition for a UNO class. UNO dual-enrolled students are required to take the AP test in May; however, UNO will pay for the AP exam costs (an $91 cost per exam in the spring of 2015) in the dual-enrolled subject. By turning in the enrollment forms, the parent/student is agreeing to a financial obligation and agreement with UNO. All of UNO’s policies apply. Students must pass the dual enrollment course with a grade of C or better to earn college credit. The grading scale will be the same as for all Millard classes. Grade weighting for advanced placement classes is for Millard’s GPA purposes only and does not apply to the UNO grade report. If you have questions, please feel free to contact Mrs. Stacy Longacre or Joy Mooberry at Millard West at 715-6006. For UNO specific questions, please contact Ms. Kelly Malone of the UNO Academic Affairs Office at 554-3810 or e-mail her at: malonek@mail.unomaha.edu or check http://dualenroll.unomaha.edu/studentqa.php
