KNIGHTLY NEWS JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2016
IDHS - HOME OF THE KNIGHTS!From The Principal . . .
Welcome to our first edition of the Knightly News. We offer this bulletin as another way to communicate infor-mation and celebrate all things Irondale. We will con-tinue to offer our daily and weekly E-News Bulletins, messages from the principal, and other communications that require more timely notification. We will also con-tinue to use Twitter and Facebook to share information and celebrate our students and their successes.
This new format will permit us to include more photographs and print informa-tion than we have been able to share in the past. When I’m at evening events, I frequently see parents taking photographs. I would encourage anyone with im-ages from these events to share those with me for inclusion in future editions. We look forward to including group shots, game action, team photos, and pictures of our students just being Knights. Regardless of the images, it will be very helpful if any images include a caption describing the picture.
This edition is being released at the same time that our students are making decisions for the 2016-17 school year. Our seniors are engaged in determining their post-Irondale education. Our other students are going to be selecting their courses for the fall. On Tuesday, February 9th, all students in 9th, 10th, and 11th grades will be hearing information about registration from their deans. I would encourage families to consider the following as they make selecting courses:
• The four-year plans that were developed along with your student’s dean can be used to ensure that the courses that are being selected match their desired post-secondary goals.• Participation in our Early College course options provides students oppor-tunities to build confidence, demonstrate college readiness, and earn college credits while still in high school. Irondale’s list of Early College options is extensive and a good match exists for almost every student.• Balance is critical for students. Families should determine the right mix of challenging courses, activities, work, and other commitments. Students need to learn time management skills, but should not spread themselves to the point that they will be unable to succeed in school or their other interests.
Our team of deans serve as a tremendous resource for students as they make their decisions for next year. Their contact information is located on page 12 of this document.
I hope you enjoy the Knightly News!

A Knight To Know
Juan Uribe-Tellez, Grade 12Nominated by: Mr. Poepard for “Engagement”
Mr. Poepard said:“Juan is an excellent student who loves to learn. He works very hard to succeed in his classes, often putting in time before and after school. What makes him special is the way he treats people. He is extremely kind and compassionate. Juan is a strong leader and role model at Irondale High School.”
Juan’s thoughts on being selected:“Well, I’m shocked! I mean, it’s wonderful! I’m very proud of myself. I guess this is what hard work achieves, and really, just being an outgoing, friendly, helpful person is how I got this award. I’ve gone through a lot of challenges, yet I’ve overcome these obstacles and I’ve grown up, learning through my mistakes. I’m very thankful!”
Aryana Rivera-Smikle, Grade 12Nominated by: Mr. St. Martin for “Engagement”
Mr. St Martin said:I have watched Aryana improve in her work over the course of the semester. She seems to grasp materials and concepts better than before. Her sense of humor is coming through more than it was previously. I’m glad I get to see her every day.
Aryana’s thoughts on being selected:To me, receiving this award, it means that someone is paying attention to me and noticing how hard I’m working without just glancing at my grades. It also makes me feel proud of myself as a student.
Alex Squire, Grade 10Nominated by: Mr. Poepard for “Engagement”
Mr. Poepard said:“Alex has come back as a sophomore, improving in every category. He is doing great academically, and demonstrating a strong worth ethic. Alex’s behavior and maturity are two reasons he is thriving. This is a student with a bright future!”
Alex’s thoughts on being selected:“It means a lot to know I have been chosen. I’m glad to know I am portraying a good example and staff see me as a role model.”

Kaitlyn Ingalls-Foryziak, Grade 9Nominated by: Ms. Bobbie Olson for “Persisting”
Ms. Olson said:“When I first met Kaitlyn, she was working on making some big changes that she really wanted to happen in her life. She made a plan, set goals, and was able to affect that change! While the outcome may not have met all of her expectations, she showed maturity and determination. To top it off, she has been working hard in her transition to high school classes and keeping her grades up. Way to go, Kaitlyn!”
Kaitlyn’s thoughts on being selected:“I’ve never been nominated for something like this, so it actually feels pretty good, so thank you!”
Alex Schmidt, Grade 11Nominated by: Mr. Hall for “Engagement”
Mr. Hall said:“By the end of his sophomore year, Alex made the decision to pursue the 2-year ARCC degree while at Irondale, with the goal of graduating with an AA degree and a HS diploma in June of his senior year. He has a solid plan for his high school years, and a pretty good idea for college plans. I see so many positive traits and qualities in Alex. Because he has these solid goals and targets, Alex knows what he has to do every day in his classes, and what he wants to achieve in his life away from school. Way to go, Alex. You ROCK!”
Alex’s thoughts on being selected:“To a swell student like myself, to get an award that exemplifies and recogniz-es my efforts means the world to me. Mr. Hall has shown me the way of being a true academic scholar, thank you.”

1. My favorite thing about IDH is definitely the students!
2. Most students wouldn’t know that I am a first generation college student.
3. I am much more of a summer person, but I do enjoy crocheting, embroidery, and baking which all go well with winter.
JULIE CANNON, ART TEACHER
1. I love Irondale because of the people inside its walls. Everyone here has a story and a huge part of my job is to get to know those stories and maybe have the privilege of being a part of theirs.
2. The student wouldn't know that I used to twirl my baton in the front yard and hope for someone to notice how awesome I was (wasn't). They also wouldn't know that outside of the classroom I'm extremely shy.
3. My favorite winter activity is to cozy up inside with a cup of coffee and a book after taking my lab for a long walk!
Christi Perron, Health Of-fice Paraprofessional
1. My favorite thing about IDH is the students! And, my job! I feel lucky to work with these great kids!
2. The kids wouldn’t know that my family calls me Kiki.
3. My favorite winter activity would be snowmobiling, which I’ve been doing since I was 5; I look forward to it every year! I love winter and spending time at the cabin.

University of MinnesotaThe University of Minnesota has had record applicants this year and has been sending admissions decisions on a rolling basis. All decisions should be made by the end of February. Due to the large number of quali-fied applicants some students will be placed on a waiting list.
On Tuesday, February 23 from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., assistance for the completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid will be available at Irondale High School in the computer lab. Professionals for local college financial aid offices will answer questions. Please bring your 2015 tax information to this event for assistance.
College Admissions Decisions
Many colleges have begun sending admissions decisions to current high school seniors. While some schools admit on a rolling basis, many colleges and universities do not admit stu-dents until the end of March/beginning of April. According to state and national admissions eth-ics standards, students have until May 1 to make a decision. According the standards established by college admissions counselors, students should not receive pressure to inform colleges until this date unless they have applied using a binding admissions practice known as Early Decision.
FAFSA Free Application for Federal Student Aid
Senior Mid-Year ReportsSome colleges require midyear re-ports from seniors. If your college does require a mid-year report, please see Ms. Gerenz in Student Services. First semester grades will be available in February.
Junior College Planning
Juniors should begin their post-secondary planning and should be researching colleges of interest. Ideally, a long list of possible col-leges should be developed this spring and honed over the summer to narrow it to a student’s final list of schools. It is important that students’ lists include a variety of schools based on selectivity. In order to determine appropriate schools for each student, it is important to realize where a student stands academically and to know grade point average, test scores, rigor of curriculum, and extra-curricular involvement.
In addition to the factors named above, it is important for juniors to begin thinking about college recommendations. Many colleges require a school recommendation which most often comes from the Dean and a teacher recommendation. Finally, get on campus! It is crucial that students spend some time on college campuses in order to make sure a school is the right fit. Spring Break is a great time to visit schools.
Current junior and sophomore students interested in exploring technical careers can take courses at Northeast Metro Tech. Students choosing this option are transported the Century College for their first three class periods and can select from a variety of courses. Interested students should see their dean or Mr. Wiens.
