Two-Way Language Immersion Offered at Two Schools Approximately 350 students at Sugar Creek and Glacier Edge Elementary Schools are already beginning to prepare themselves to be competitive in the global marketplace. Each day as they report to their Two-Way Immersion (TWI) classrooms, they will learn to communicate, read, and write in Spanish and English as well as interact in a diverse society.

VASD’s Two-Way Immersion (TWI) program is reaching more and more students each year. The goal of the program is to prepare students to become bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural while achieving high levels of success academically, linguistically, and socially. Presently, the program encompasses grades K-4 and will grow in 2018-2019 to include fifth grade at each site.

An advisory committee has also been meeting to make plans to offer students advanced language pathways in middle and high school.

TWI classrooms are open to students from all language backgrounds and cultures and are additive in nature, meaning that students learn in two languages from the moment in which they enter the program until they complete it. Children in TWI classrooms spend 50 percent of their day learning academic content in Spanish and 50 percent of their day learning in English.

Educational research supports the effectiveness of the TwoWay Immersion model for all students*.

In addition to positive academic outcomes, there are benefits of bilingualism that reach far beyond the classroom. As reported in TIME magazine in July 2013, neurological studies show that bilingual brains function more efficiently and flexibly with higher levels of reasoning. Bilingualism also improves the ability to multitask, grasp ideas, and reconcile conflicts while delaying the onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

The instructional approach in Two-Way Immersion classrooms is enrichment education for all students as they learn rigorous academic content in two languages while becoming cross-culturally competent. For more information about the TWI program, please contact Laurie Burgos, Director of Bilingual Programs & Instructional Equity, at (608) 845-4312.

Personalized learning In April of 2013, the Board of Education approved the audacious goal that every student in VASD would have a personalized learning plan. This goal included the following: Every student in VASD has a personalized learning plan that provides a path to discovery and achievement and that plan is reviewed and changed at least annually based on the student’s needs.

Every student’s parent, guardian or advocate participates directly in the design, implementation, and outcomes of that student’s personalized learning plans.

Every student meets or exceeds the goals of his or her personalized learning plan every school year.

Every VAHS student graduates.

Every VAHS graduate achieves their choice of college and career path, as detailed in their personalized learning plan.

A great deal of work on building the necessary technology infrastructure and staff training has occurred since the Board adopted this goal. We, as a staff, continue to work toward implementation of personalized learning plans in 2018. We have come a very long way in this pursuit and we have a long road ahead of us to reach full implementation.

You can expect to receive information and updates on this effort throughout this school year. In the meantime, please refer to our website, verona.k12.wi.us, for resource materials and information.

Nurtured Heart Approach Trainings We have had several staff trained in the use of Nurtured Heart Approach framework and are pleased to offer periodic

trainings for parents and caregivers. If you find parenting your child or caregiving for an elderly parent challenging at times, this framework provides strategies and, more importantly, hope for positive, loving, nurturing and joyous relationships with those who are causing those challenges. Watch for announcements on upcoming trainings and learn more about the Nurtured Heart Approach by visiting: https://childrenssuccessfoundation.com.

Outside of our website, which changes every day, find us on Facebook and Twitter as we have a lot of information about our schools easily accessible to you. Lastly, know that there is a standing invitation to all members of our school district to call or email me or any district staff with questions you may have regarding your child or any school district operation. My contact information can be found below.

The Verona Area School District is an outstanding school district because of the commitment, hard work and sacrifice of the entire staff and community. We are absolutely committed to give each and every child that passes through our schoolhouse doors our best. Working together with families and the community, we can make this the best school district in Wisconsin. We need each of you to contribute to that success. Please join us in this work.

Best wishes for an exciting and rewarding school year. Thank you continuing to make learning the most important endeavor in your child’s life.

Kindest regards, Dean Gorrell, Superintendent 608-845-4310 (Office) gorrelld@verona.k12.wi.us

Go to www.verona.k12.wi.us and click on “Sugar Creek” in the “Our Schools” drop down menu to learn more about our excellent school! Sugar Creek families receive frequent and on-going information, communications, and updates from Mr. Brunner through SchoolMessenger.

New to Sugar Creek?

Students and their families in Grades 1 – 5 who are new to Sugar Creek are invited to our annual New Family Night, held this year on August 24th. Please call 845-4705 for more information.

Kindergarten Information Kindergarten families will have a pre-scheduled hour block of time on Friday, September 1st, 2017, to meet the teachers, have questions answered, and drop off supplies. The first full day of school for Kindergarten students will be on Tuesday, September 5th

First Day of School All elementary children should report directly to the classroom to which they have been assigned. Students may enter the building after the first bell at 7:35 a.m. Classes begin at 7:45 a.m. and end at 2:35 p.m. Students can bring their supplies any time the first week of school.

Student Absences In accordance with School Board Policy 431, attendance and tardies are closely monitored. Attendance is taken at 7:45 each morning. We ask that parents call 845-4700 before the start of school to inform Sugar Creek if your child will be absent or tardy.

Behavioral Management Sugar Creek has been recognized by the State of Wisconsin as a Positive Behavior Intervention Systems (PBIS) School of Merit AND School of Distinction! PBIS is a process of teaching and supporting students and staff to follow four basic school-wide expectations: 1. Be Kind and Respectful 2. Be Responsible

3. Be a Problem Solver 4. Be Safe Families can play a large role in advancing the positive behaviors of our students by reinforcing the same schoolwide expectations at home. Bedtime, meals, playtime, or trips to the store are all great opportunities to apply the same concepts. Engaging children in conversations about what is going well at school, talking about how celebrations are being enjoyed, or talking about what strategies Todd Brunner, your learner used to solve a problem are Principal all great ways to make the home-school (AKA - Spiderman) connection around positive behavior. We will continue to keep parents informed and partner with parents on behavioral management so all students are safe and achieving high levels of academic success.

VASD Back To School

Stoner Prairie Elementary

Welcome to a great place to learn and the start of another AWESOME school year!!!!!! Our Mission: To encourage our students to reach their academic potential, to love and respect them for who they are, and to teach them the absolute joy of learning.

We will be welcoming back 380 K-5th grade students this fall and have an amazing and dedicated staff eager to support each one Michael Pisani, Principal of them. Every year, our school has reaffirmed the primary importance of low class size with a student to teacher ratio of just 18 to 1 (or lower) for Grades K-3, and 25 to 1 (or lower) for Grades 4-5.

We take great pride in helping students reach their academic potential and our most recent Statewide School Report Card score was 80.1 which falls into the Exceeds Expectations category. A particular strength in our building is literacy performance and student growth in literacy. Our building focuses on aligning our curriculum to allow staff members to collaborate more than ever for student success!

We are kicking off our newly revised behavior expectations, which are: Be Kind, Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be a Problem Solver. These expectations have been revised with input from staff, families, and students and we feel they will be even more clear and focused. We also have many schoolwide celebrations during the year tied to our “Tower of Power.” They include our staff vs. student basketball game, drawing party in the hall, student dress up days (such as crazy hair day, dress in your favorite sport or activity) and we have multiple fun assemblies including the musical group the “Figure Heads.” These opportunities would not be possible without the help and support of our strong PTO. K-5 Students have the opportunity to utilize our 1 to 1 iPad program used as an instructional tool and integrated into all classroom subjects. They also learn about new technologies through our Design Lab and Innovation Lab. The Design Lab is a makerspace dedicated to introducing gaming, robotics, and new technologies in an environment of exploration. From this introduction, Osmos, Spheros, Minecraft EDU, 3D printing, coding, and more have been explored and integrated into classroom instruction.

Glacier Edge Elementary With a motto of “Work Hard. Be Nice.”, Glacier Edge Elementary takes pride in its 595 students. The school is a PBIS School of Merit and prides itself in the nearly 1,000 “Good News Calls” made from the principal last year for all the great things happening it its classrooms.

Glacier is one of two schools in the district to host the TwoWay Immersion Program in the school district, teaching children in Spanish for half of their day Theresa Taylor, Principal and English for the other half. The school is proud to share that their students are held accountable at their monthly community gatherings to recognize positives and celebrate the school’s BIG 4 (Be Responsible Be Safe, Be Ready, Be Respectful). And to ensure those goals are met, the “Tower of Power” program allows students to celebrate their victories in day-to-day learning with incentives that include fun such as a “Pie-in-a-Teacher Face”, the Staff Olympics, Super Hero dress up days, and even a hallway dance party!

Outside of the classroom, Glacier Edge keeps busy not only with their own impressive MakerSpace allowing for computer coding/programming, a Lego Wall, Osmos, and 3D printers, but also focuses on its after-school clubs, homework help program and its homework club in Nakoma Heights neighborhood.

Studies also continue in the community with active learning at the nearby Whalen Pond as a partnership with the University of Wisconsin and the City of Verona. In addition, the school offers a Vanderbilt University science and math partnership.

On the extracurricular side, kids can keep active outside of the classroom with fun including “Girls on the Run”, “Born to Move”, soccer leagues and the Color Run. Lastly, the school has very active parent groups: the school’s very own Continuous Improvement Team, a PTO and Correr La Voz (Spanish speaking parent leadership group).

We welcome family involvement and have a very productive and supportive Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO). Our PTO organizes special events that include movie nights, Share Fair, Walk-A-Thon, and Family Fun Night.

Come visit our school or check us out online:

Mary Moroder, Associate Principal & Michelle Nummerdor, Principal

Summer is a time for relaxation and play! It is also a time for teachers to grow their skills, reflect on their practice and prepare for the upcoming year so we can help our children become readers, writers, mathematicians and young people who love to learn!

Along with our focus on academics, we also want our Country View children to know themselves as learners and as individuals. Focusing on our student success, our school tagline says it all: Everyday you are building a masterpiece and that masterpiece is YOU! We believe each one has unique talents and greatness that they contribute each day. We believe it is part of our job to help each child discover that greatness. This year, our theme is “Only One You” based on the book, “Only One You” by Linda Kranz. We will use this theme to recognize students for being their best and making our world a better place. We specifically focus on the following eight characteristics we call “greatness goals:” persistence, cooperation, respect, reflection, generosity, self-control, creativity, and courage.

We will continue to recognize students for their efforts through monthly raffles for fun incentives such as a Zumba party, extra pool time during swimming, fancy lunch on the stage, a class photo with the Wildcat, and more! We will also continue our traditions of Wildcat Waggle, Lunch Theater, school gatherings, and special dress up days.

Students and parents of seventh and eighth grade students are welcome to stop in to introduce themselves to teachers on this day and may drop off materials/supplies and organize their lockers. Please refer to 7th and 8th grade Pete Christofferson, Associate Principal team messages for & Sandy Eskrich, Principal specifics.

The first day of school for all students will be Tuesday, September 5th. All students will begin with their Advisory class.

Students may refer to their schedules for their Advisor and room number. Schedules will be available on line in mid-August and a current copy will be distributed to each student in Advisory.

Advisory classroom assignments for all students will be available as students enter the building.

Please note the time of the middle school day: 8:30 a.m. – 3:33 p.m. Late Starts are NOT every Monday. Please refer to our website calendar for dates. Our building opens for students at 8am, it is at this time that the front doors will be unlocked and students may gather in the commons and have breakfast if they choose.

Savanna Oaks Website (www.soms.verona.k12.wi.us) A live calendar of school events, which is reliably kept up-todate, is available on the web. Family resources such as announcements, attendance contacts and information about learning activities can be found on the site. Students will find a portal for their grade level team and this will include information about courses, teachers, events and learning activities. Our library is also an active link and a route to even more learning resources.

Please keep in mind that we communicate with our families using SchoolMessenger and our primary means of communication is electronic. If another route is better for you (paper, texting, phone calls, etc.) please let your student’s Advisory teacher know and we’ll try to accommodate.

Student Absences If your child will be absent from school, we ask parents to call the Attendance Hotline (845-4003) by 9:00 a.m. and leave a mes-

Bullying Policy

The Verona Area School District strives to provide a safe, secure and respectful learning environment for all students in school buildings, on school grounds, in school buses and at school-sponsored activities.

Bullying has a harmful social, physical, psychological and academic impact on bullies, victims and bystanders. The District shall consistently and vigorously address bullying so that there is no disruption to the learning environment and learning process.

Bullying behavior is prohibited in all schools, buildings, property and educational environments, including any property or vehicle owned, leased or used by the District. This includes public transportation regularly used by students to go to and from school.

Educational environments include, but are not limited to, every activity under school supervision.

“Bullying” is defined as deliberate or intentional behavior using words or actions, intended to cause fear, intimidation or harm. Bullying may be repeated behavior and involves an imbalance of power. The behavior may be motivated by an actual or perceived distinguishing characteristic, such as, but not limited to: age; national origin; race; ethnicity; religion; gender; gender identity; sexual orientation; physical attributes; physical or mental ability or disability; and social, economic or family status.

sage regarding the absence. When your child returns to school, if you have not phoned in, please send a note explaining the absence. If your child has received medical attention, please send a note and/or doctor’s excuse explaining the reason for absence.

Student Progress Reporting Student progress can be monitored on PowerSchool at VASD Website/Quicklinks/Parent Resources/PowerSchool Parent Access as well as other websites as defined by each student’s team of teachers. Student/parent access codes for PowerSchool as well as other ways to follow progress are available for every family.

The foundation of assessment at Savanna Oaks is demonstration of mastery of course standards. We will communicate quarterly in a Student Progress Report both Habits of Learning ratings as well as progress in mastering standards. Our progress reports describe standards that were attempted and the degree of success to date on each. In exploratory and encore classes, we continue to use traditional letter grades at this time.

Extra-Curricular Activities Middle school offers a wide variety of opportunities outside the traditional school day such as clubs, activities and athletics. These include: Cross Country (September), Volleyball (September), Wrestling (November-December), Basketball-boys (Nov-Dec), Basketball-girls (Jan-Feb.), Ski Club (January and February) Track (April-May), Drama Club (fall to spring), Forensics (JanFeb), Student Council (all year), All-School Musical (Feb-May), Math Club (Nov-April.) and more as students and staff dream them up! Daily announcements and the SOMS website keep everyone informed as to opportunities and how to join.

Savanna Oaks Middle School Staff The Savanna Oaks faculty and staff have a wealth of experience in learning with middle school students. We continue our commitment to supporting our learners in setting personal goals and moving toward mastery. We have seen impressive evidence that when learners are given voice and choice, their engagement empowers their learning. We are excited to start the 2017-18 school year!

All school staff members and school officials who observe or become aware of acts of bullying are required to report these acts to the building principal or designee in accordance with established procedures. Reports of bullying may be made verbally or in writing and may be made confidentially. All such reports, whether verbal or in writing, will be taken seriously and a clear account of the incident is to be documented. A written record of the report, including all pertinent details, will be made by the principal or design of the report.

After receiving the report, the building principal or designee will immediately undertake an investigation of the report. The investigation shall include interviewing the individual(s) who are victim(s) of the bullying and collecting whatever other information is necessary to determine the facts and seriousness of the report.

VASD Back To School

10 Check out updates on student transportation for the 2017-2018 school year:

• NEW PHONE APP: The Verona Area School District has been working alongside Badger Bus to unveil a phone app that allows family members of Pre-K through 12 grade students, as well as special education students, to receive real-time updates on your child’s school bus as it travels to and from school. Find details to download the app onto your phone at verona.k12. wi.us/student_transportation.

Through this phone app, called “Safe Stop,” information is updated regularly so you know where your child’s inbound or outbound school bus is—this will allow you to plan on being at the bus stop in plenty of time, especially if there are challenges on weather delay days or if Badger Bus needs to directly communicate a message through the app to families. Download the app NOW! • BUS ROUTING SOFTWARE: Visit verona.k12.wi.us/ student_transportation for a link to Badger Bus routing software which is updated DAILY allowing families to find the MOST UP-TO-DATE bus route/stops, stop times and neighborhood school locations. Please note: this site will not display 4k or special needs transportation. To keep accurate bus stop information, please inform your school secretaries of any changes to your address, or if you have 4K or Special Needs transportation.

Call Badger Bus at 608-845-2255 with questions.

• TRANSPORTATION “SPECIAL REQUEST” FORM (for K-12 ONLY, not Pre-K): Visit verona.k12.wi.us/student_ transportation to fill out the Transportation Request Form to request additional K-12 transportation that is OUTSIDE of district-provided services to and from school. All special requests need to be resubmitted for each school year and there may be a fee associated with some requests or requests may not be granted if they do not fall under the Board of Education policies.

Verona Area High School Verona Area High School Staff

Pam Hammen, principal; Pheng Lee, associate principal; Tamara Sutor, associate principal; Alan Buss, associate principal

Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year at Verona Area High School. It is a very special time to be a Wildcat as we are in a mode of change and excitement, especially with the 2020 construction of a new high school!

High school staff members of the Visionary Design team have been busy meeting and touring facilities with the architect team and taking input from staff, students and the community to be considered in the new design. Although the school will not open until 2020, the planning is in full swing!

In our classrooms, we are so proud of our Wildcats as they continue to leave their pawprints in so many meaningful ways. This coming year we are excited to enhance credit offerings our students can receive through their advisory and A+ offerings, which is a time set aside each day for students to have extra support with a teacher or other students on classroom assignments or extracurricular activities.

Outside of the classroom, and in response to district policy regarding non-discrimination, our junior class created our first ever gender-neutral ballot for the Prom adjusting how the court is assembled—something many other school districts have taken interest in unveiling. And our student volunteering program has exploded with countless ways of community support including raising awareness for the homeless and those in need of food, clothing or shelter. We are very proud of the leadership our students are reflecting in and out of the classroom everyday!

Excitingly we also need to share that, outside of sports teams and activities, our high school impressively offers more than 35 student clubs and organizations. From student council or language and cultural-based groups, all the way to our forensics team and FFA, and even our College Ready Scholars and College Club groups, students can find a variety of ways to have fun and be creative outside of the classroom. This past summer, our two college groups shared extraordinary numbers for post high school success: 87% of students enrolled in the VAHS College Ready Scholars and 100% of the seniors who participated in College Club received college acceptance letters and are bound for college this fall!

Through it all we continue to create an environment that allows each student to determine what success means for them. With all the excitement in the air, being a VAHS wildcat is definitely where it’s at!

Verona Area High School is ready for a new year!

Classes will begin for ALL incoming freshmen and ALL new students ONLY on Friday, September 1, 2017 beginning at 8:30 AM. Pictures will be taken.

ALL students will report on Tuesday, September 5, 2017 at 8:30 AM. Student pictures (grades 10-12) will be taken on September 5, 2017.

Annual Notice of Special Education Referral and Evaluation Procedures

Upon request, the Verona Area School District is required to evaluate a child for eligibility for special education services. A request for evaluation is known as a referral. When the district receives a referral, the district will appoint an Individualized Education Program (IEP) team to determine if the child has a disability, and if the child needs special education services. The district locates, identifies, and evaluates all children with disabilities who are enrolled by their parents in private (including religious) schools, elementary schools and secondary schools located in the school district.

A physician, nurse, psychologist, social worker, or administrator of a social agency who reasonably believes a child brought to him or her for services is a child with a disability has a legal duty to refer the child, including a homeless child, to the school district in which the child resides. Before referring the child, the person making the referral must inform the child’s parent that the referral will be made.

Others, including parents or guardians, who reasonably believe a child is a child with a disability may also refer the

17 child, including a homeless child, to the school district in which the child resides.

Referrals must be in writing and include the reason why the person believes the child is a child with a disability. A referral may be made by contacting Emmett Durtschi, Director of Student Services, Verona Area School District, at 608-845-4314, or by writing him at emmett.durtschi@verona.k12.wi.us 700 N. Main Street, Verona, WI 53593.

Confidentiality of Personally Identifiable Information Obtained Through Child Find Activities

The Verona Area School District is required to locate, identify, and evaluate all children, with disabilities, including children with disabilities attending private schools in the school district, and homeless children. The process of locating, identifying, and evaluating children with disabilities is known as child find. Each year, child development days are conducted to allow families the opportunity to talk with qualified professionals about the progress their child is making or to discuss any concerns they have. Additionally, any parent or guardian, qualified health professional, or other person familiar with a child that suspects a disability exists is encouraged to contact Emmett Durtschi, Director of Student Services, 608-845-4314 or write to emmett. durtschi@verona.k12.wi.us or Verona Area School District, 700 N. Main Street, Verona, WI 53593.

This notice informs parents of the records the school district will develop and maintain as part of its child find activities. This notice also informs parents of their rights regarding any records developed.

The school district gathers personally identifiable information on any child who participates in child find activities. Parents, teachers, and other professionals provide information to the school related to the child’s academic performance, behavior, and health. This information is used to determine whether the child needs special education services. Personally identifiable information directly related to a child and maintained by the school is a pupil record. Pupil records include records maintained in any way including, but not limited to, computer storage media, video and audiotape, film, microfilm, and microfiche. Records maintained for personal use by a teacher and not available to others and records available only to persons involved in the psychological treatment of a child are not pupil records.

The school district maintains several classes of pupil records.

• “Progress records” include grades, courses the child has taken, the child’s attendance record, immunization records, required lead screening records, and records of school extra-curricular activities. Progress records must be maintained for at least five years after the child ceases to be enrolled.

• “Behavioral records” include such records as psychological tests, personality evaluations, records of conversations, written statements relating specifically to the pupil’s behavior, tests relating specifically to achievement or measurement of ability, physical health records other than immunization and lead screening records, law enforcement officers’ records, and other pupil records that are not “progress records.” Law enforcement officers’ records are maintained separately from other pupil records. Behavioral records may be maintained for no longer

Standards Notice Requirement for School Districts: Wisconsin Act 55

School Boards must annually notify parents/guardians of students enrolled in the district of the academic standards to be used for the upcoming school year. Below are the academic standards being used for the 2017-18 school year by the Verona Area School District: • English Language Arts and Mathematics: The Common Core State Standards: http://dpi.wi.gov/common-core.

• Science: The Next Generation Science Standards: http://www.nextgenscience.org/next-generation-science-standards • Social Studies: Wisconsin Model Academic Standards for Social Studies: http://cal.dpi.wi.gov/cal_socstudies. The College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework: http://www.socialstudies.org/c3/.

• World Languages: Wisconsin Model Academic Standards for World Languages: http://cal.dpi.wi.gov/cal_languages • Visual Arts: Wisconsin Model Academic Standards for the Visual Arts: http://cal.dpi.wi.gov/cal_art-design • Music: Wisconsin Model Academic Standards for Music: http://cal.dpi.wi.gov/cal_musiced • Career and Technical Education (CTE): Wisconsin Model Academic Standards for Career and Technical Education: http://cte.dpi.wi.gov/cte_standards • Physical Education: Wisconsin Model Academic Standards for Physical Education: http://sspw.dpi.wi.gov/sspw_physicaled • Health: Wisconsin Model Academic Standards for Health Education: http://cal.dpi.wi.gov/files/cal/pdf/health-stds.pdf For more information contact Ann Franke, Director of Curriculum & Instruction at 608-845-4311 or frankea@verona.k12.wi.us

than one year after the child graduates or otherwise ceases to be enrolled, unless the parent specifies in writing that the records may be maintained for a longer period of time. The school district informs parents when pupil records are no longer needed to provide special education. At the request of the child’s parents, the school district destroys the information that is no longer needed.

• “Directory data” includes the student’s name, address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, photographs, degrees and awards received, and the name of the school most recently previously attended by the student.

• “Pupil physical health records” include basic health information about a pupil, including the pupil’s immunization records, an emergency medical card, a log of first aid and medicine administered to the pupil, an athletic permit card, a record concerning the pupil’s ability to participate in an education program, any required lead screening records, the results of any routine screening test, such as for hearing, vision or scoliosis, and any follow-up to the test, and any other basic health information, as determined by the state superintendent. Any pupil record relating to a pupil’s physical health that is not a pupil physical health record is treated as a patient health care record under sections 146.81 to 146.84, Wisconsin Statutes. Any pupil record concerning HIV testing is treated as provided under section 252.15, Wisconsin Statutes.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and section 118.125, Wisconsin Statutes, afford parents, guardians, and students over 18 years of age (“eligible students”) the following rights with respect to education records: • The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of receipt of the request.

Parents, guardians, or eligible students should submit to the school principal [or appropriate school official] a written request that identifies the records(s) they wish to inspect. The principal will make arrangements for access and notify the parent, guardian, or eligible student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. The school district will comply with the request without unnecessary delay and before any meeting about an individualized education program, or any due process hearing, and in no case more than 45 days after the request has been made. If any record includes information on more than one child, the parents or guardians of those children have the right to inspect and review only the information about their child or to be informed of that specific information. Upon request, the school district will give a parent, guardian, or eligible student a copy of the progress records and a copy of the behavioral records. Upon request, the

school district will give the parent, guardian, or eligible student a list of the types and locations of education records collected, maintained, or used by the district for special education. The school district will respond to reasonable requests for explanations and interpretations of the records. A representative of the parent or guardian may inspect and review the records.

• The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the parent or eligible student believes is inaccurate or misleading. Parents or eligible students may ask the Verona Area School District to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the school principal, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the district decides not to amend the record, the district will notify the parent or eligible student of the decision and the right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the parent or eligible student when notified of the right to a hearing.

• The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information in the student’s education records, except to the extent that federal and state law authorize disclosure without consent. The exceptions are stated in 34 CFR 99.31, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act regulations; Sec. 9528, PL107-110, No Child Left Behind Act of 2001; and section 118.125(2) (a) to (m) and sub. (2m), Wisconsin Statutes. One exception that permits disclosure without consent is disclosures to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the district as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a person serving on the school board; a person or company with whom the district has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.

Upon request, the district discloses education records without consent to officials of another school district in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. Also the district discloses “directory data” without consent, unless the parent notifies the district that it may not be released without prior parental consent.

• The right to file a complaint with the U. S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the District to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, S.W., Washington, DC 20202-4605.

Americans With Disabilities Act The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) offers comprehensive protections for individuals with disabilities. The Verona Area School District does not discriminate on the basis of disability. If you are an individual with a disability, or represent an individual with a disability and have an ADA concern, you may contact Emmett Durtschi, Director of Student Services at 608-845-4314 or mail to emmett.durtschi@verona.k12.wi.us or Verona Area School District, 700 North Main Street, Verona, WI 53593, 845-4314.

Federal law requires schools to share information with parents regarding the qualifications of teachers employed by the school district. Among the questions that parents may ask are: • Is my child’s teacher licensed to teach the grades or subjects assigned?

• Has the state waived any requirements for my child’s teacher?

• What was the college major of my child’s teacher?

•W hat degrees does my child’s teacher hold?

• Are there instructional aides working with my child? If so, what are their qualifications?

All teachers employed by the Verona Area School District (VASD) have at least a bachelor’s degree, and approximately 75 percent have a Master’s degree or equivalent. In addition, all of the teachers are DPI licensed for their assignment. Finally, all instructional aides are employed by VASD are considered qualified for their work assignments.

Child Nutrition

The Verona area child nutrition department welcomes you and your family to another school year as we continue to offer healthy and tasty school meals. An important component of every school day is mealtime when students take a break from their academic schedules and consume important nutrients that will take them through their school day. We provide healthy meal choices while emphasizing fruits and vegetables, and whole grains that meet the USDA guidelines.

Verona Area Schools have an “offer” rather than a “serve” meal program. Students are required to take only three of the five food groups for lunch. Lunch includes a protein, vegetable, fruit, whole grain/bread and milk group. The USDA regulations do require that one of the three food-group choices on a student’s tray must be a serving of fruit or vegetables. Students are required to take three out of the four food groups for breakfast.

Breakfast is available at all of the schools daily. Generally school breakfast will consist of milk, 100% juice and fruit, whole grain and protein. Students who eat breakfast show an increased ability to learn and better academic performance. High school students have access to ala carte items, which features individually priced items such as sandwiches, fresh fruit, yogurt, string cheese, bagels and cream cheese, etc. Ala carte items may not be purchased unless funds are available in their meal accounts.

The Child Nutrition Computerized Lunch System is a family-based program. All family members in the district draw from the same account so only one payment is needed per family. It is not a credit system and accounts need to have a positive balance.

Monthly statements will be sent to you electronically if your email is on file. Account balances are also available on line via the Verona Area School District home page. You must have your family account number and pin number to access your balance. Meal payments may be mailed to Child Nutrition Services, P.O. Box 930007, Verona WI 53593. The E-Funds electronic payment system allows you the ability to make payments anytime through the district’s website and the funds will be automatically withdrawn from your checking account or charged to your credit card. A convenience fee will be charged for any transactions using Efunds.

The Verona Area School District has a policy for children unable to pay the full price of meals served under the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. Each school office and the District office have a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by interested parties. Meal applications are available on line and at

Application forms are being sent to all homes with a notice to parents or guardians. To apply for free or reduced price meals or free milk, households must fill out the application and return it to the school (unless notified at the start of the school year that children are eligible through direct certification). Additional copies are available at the office in each school. The information provided on the application will be used for the purpose of determining eligibility and may be verified at any time during the school year by agency or other program officials. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year.

To obtain free or reduced price meals or free milk for children in a household where one or more household members receive FoodShare, FDPIR, or Wisconsin Works (W-2) cash benefits, list the FoodShare, FDPIR or W-2 case number, list the names of all school children, sign the application, and return it to the school office.

For the school officials to determine eligibility for free or reduced price meals of households not receiving FoodShare, FDPIR or W-2 cash benefits, the household must provide the following information requested on the application: names of all household members, total number of household members, and the adult signing the application form must also list the last four digits of his or her Social Security Number or mark the box to the right of “Check if no SSN”. Also, the income received by each household member must be provided by amount and source (wages, welfare, child support, etc.).

Under the provisions of the free and reduced price meal policy the Food Service Director or Food Service Secretary will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian is dissatisfied with the ruling of the official, he/she may wish to discuss the decision with the determining official on an informal basis. If the parent/guardian wishes to make a formal appeal, he/she may make a request either orally or in writing to: Superintendent, Verona area School District, 700 North Main Street, Verona, WI 53593, (608) 845-4300.

If a hearing is needed to appeal the decision, the policy contains an outline of the hearing procedure.

If a household member becomes unemployed or if the household size changes, the family should contact the school. Such changes may make the household eligible for reduced price meals or free meals or free milk if the household income falls at or below the levels shown above, and they may reapply at that time.

Children formally placed in foster care are also eligible for free meal benefits. Foster children may be certified as eligible without a household application. Households with foster children and non-foster children may choose to include the foster child as a household member, as well as any personal income available to the foster child, on the same application that includes their non-foster children.

The information provided by the household on the application is confidential. Public Law 103-448 limits the release of student free and reduced price school meal eligibility status to persons directly connected with the administration and enforcement of federal or state educational programs. Consent of the parent/guardian is needed for other purposes such as waiver of text book fees.

Non-discrimination Statement: In accordance with Federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies, the USDA, its Agencies, offices, and employees, and institutions participating in or administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA. Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g. Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.), should contact the Agency (State or local) where they applied for benefits.

Individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Service at (800) 877-8339. Additionally, program information may be made available in languages other than English.

To file a program complaint of discrimination, complete the USDA Program Discrimination Complaint Form, (AD-3027) found online at: http://www.ascr.usda.gov/complaint_filing_cust. html, and at any USDA office, or write a letter addressed to USDA and provide in the letter all of the information requested in the form.

Notice of Nondiscrimination Policy Student Nondiscrimination It is the policy of the Verona Area School District that no person may be denied admission to any public school in this district or be denied participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be discriminated against in any curricular, extracurricular, pupil services, recreational or other program or activity because of the persons’ sex, color, race, religion, national origin, ancestry, creed, pregnancy, marital or parental status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or physical, mental, emotional or learning disability as required by s.118.13, Wis. Stats.

This policy also prohibits discrimination as defined by Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 (sex), Title VI of Civil Rights Act of 1964 (race, color, and national origin), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (disability), McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (homelessness).

All vocational education programs follow the district’s policies of nondiscrimination. In addition, arrangements can be made to ensure that the lack of English language skills is not a barrier to admission or participation.

The district encourages informal resolution of complaints under this policy. A formal complaint resolution procedure is available, however, to address allegations of violations of the policy in the Verona Area School District.

Any questions concerning s.118.13, Wis. Stats., or Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits discrimination should be directed to Ann Franke, the Equity Coordinator, at the following address and phone number: Ann Franke Director of Instruction, Verona Area School District, 700 N.

If any person believes that the Verona Area School District or any part of the school organization has failed to follow the law and rules of s.118.13, Wis. Stats., Title VI, Title IX, Section

504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or in some way discriminates against pupils on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, creed, pregnancy, marital or parental status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or physical, mental, or emotional or learning disability, he/she may bring or send a complaint to the Administration Office at the following address: 700 N.

Ways to Get Involved in the School District

The Verona Area School District is committed to not only seeking input and ideas from parent and community members, but to also invite you to volunteer for the many great things that are happening our schools every day. We welcome your involvement as we strive to provide the highest quality school experience possible!

Some volunteer positions require a background check for the safety of our students and staff. Your school office will assist you in this process if needed. Listed below are regularly scheduled events and several other ways that parents and community members can get involved with the schools. We welcome you to attend these events and participate in our schools.

• School Board Meetings - Whether you decide to run for a seat on the board or just come as an attendee, board meetings are generally held at 7:00 p.m. on the first and third Monday of each month in the Board Room of the Administration Building, 700 N. Main St. in Verona. These meetings follow a posted agenda and include discussion of important educational issues and events of the school district. There is an audience portion at the beginning of each meeting that is set aside for residents to provide input to the school board. It is the policy of the school board not to comment on topics raised during the audience portion as many of the topics raised are not posted on the agenda for discussion. These meetings are also televised locally on VCAT and FACT cable access television.

• School Continuous Improvement Teams - These teams, formerly known as Site Councils, exist at every school site in the district as an extension of the governance of the district for the purpose of improving student learning.

Each Continuous Improvement Team engages a representative group of the school community to collaboratively listen, learn and share diverse perspectives. Each team meets regularly at a time that works best for the group to conduct their business. Contact the school principal to express interest in joining or to learn more.

• PTA/PTO - These Parent-Teacher groups meet regularly in the district at some of the school sites. These groups typically support fundraising and enrichment opportunities for the school, as well as coordinate adult volunteers, staff appreciation events and communication among parents within the school. Contact the school office for the names of the PTA/PTO officers.

• Classroom Assistance - Parents are always encouraged to contact their child’s classroom teacher(s) to see if there are ways to help in the classroom or assist in other ways at the school. This kind of interaction with students can often be the most rewarding for the parent and student. Parents and community members are welcome to volunteer in the classroom by reading to students or listening to students read, chaperoning field trips, helping with special projects, sharing an area of interest, or simply by being

another caring adult to support a child who needs some special attention. Contact the building principal or teacher from the school where you would like to volunteer in the classroom.

• Literacy Volunteers - The Verona Area School District offers a program where caring adults become literacy volunteers to work with students in grades K-3 who struggle with their reading skills. Anyone interested in helping a young student succeed in reading is invited to participate as a volunteer. We welcome any interested community members - parents, retired residents, young adults, service club members - to consider this opportunity.

Volunteers can spend as little as 30 minutes per week. Those interested in volunteering will be invited to participate in a short orientation and training session to learn a few basics of literacy instruction and the requirements of the program. Early in the fall, volunteers are partnered with an elementary classroom teacher and matched with a student (or two) from that classroom. Community volunteers are greatly appreciated and make the program successful. For community members this is an opportunity to see how our schools operate and to better understand how their tax dollars are being used. This is a win-win situation for the volunteers as well as the students involved.

Volunteers become very important to the young people. Volunteers find the experience enriches their lives as well. If you are interested, please contact Gretchen Zimmerman at zimmermg@ verona.k12.wi.us as Literacy Volunteer training session dates are always announced in the fall.

• Various school-specific committees - Each school in the district has various volunteers needs, including committee work, with the desire to have parent or community involvement. These might include: - Library Assistants (sorting or shelving books, laminating projects, etc.)

- Serving on a school-specific committee, with common ones being: - School’s continuous improvement team - PTOs - Task-specific duties that might include: - Book or science fairs - Art shows - School decorating - Math coaching - Reading books to classes - Lunch room assistants - Assisting young students at Natatorium for swim classes - Leading study groups with students - Fundraisers (such as concession stands) - Serving as a guest speaker on career days or other events - Administrative/clerical support in the office (stuffing mailings, answering phones, etc.)
