MADISON EAST HIGH SCHOOL Respectful—Ready—Responsible
April / May 2018
As spring approaches, (rapidly I hope) it becomes more im-
portant for every student to be here every day! The best and
brightest students cannot accomplish great things from
home. They need to be at school. The staff of East High
School eagerly await your student’s arrival each and every
day. We plan for them. We spend time preparing great les-
sons for them. Our desire is to prepare your student for what-
ever the future may hold in store.
With spring comes many activities and I hope your student
gets connected. There will be dances and athletics and
clubs and plays and music and countless other ways for your
student to get tied in to the EHS culture. If you find your stu-
dent to be disengaged, please let us know. Reach out to
their counselor. Call the administration. We are here for them
and you.
I ask that you check the school calendar and plan accord-
ingly. Spring is also testing time. We will have Aspire testing,
AP testing and semester exams. These tests are important for
your student and East High. If at all possible, please plan to
ensure your student is on campus during these important
windows.
We also appreciate our strong parent support in keeping stu-
dents focused and to maintain the academic progress that
we have achieved to this point in the school year. We all
need to do our part to keep students on target with their ac-
ademic goals in order to complete the school year success-
fully. As a school, we welcome the efforts of our parents to
impress on all of our students the importance of doing well
for the end of the school year.
As always, thank you for allowing me to work with your chil-
dren,
Mike Hernandez

REAP and MMSD Food & Nutrition is gearing up to begin having the Food Truck come to each high school
one day a week for lunch! The plan is for this to begin the week of April 9 and continue for the rest of the
school year. There will be a portable station for students to put in their lunch account number. One meal
from the food truck is the same as one school meal from the school cafeteria.

Dear East Families,
It’s that time of year when we start getting ready for East High School’s Junior Prom. East’s Junior Prom will be
held April 28th, 2018 at the Masonic Temple located at 301 Wisconsin Avenue, Madison Wisconsin. This night is
a great night and an opportunity for students to enjoy each other’s company in a social setting.
Tickets will be sold during lunch from April 23rd through April 26th. Students should purchase tickets early as
space is limited.
There are a few guidelines that you must be aware of in preparation for prom:
1. Prom is open to all East High 11th and 12th grade students who are in good standing.
2. East High 10th grade students and students from other schools who are in good standing may at-
tend as the guest of an 11th or 12th grade student who is currently enrolled at East and in good
standing. 9th grade students from any school are not allowed to attend prom.
3. Good Standing is defined as:
a. No suspensions between April 19th and April 28th
b. Not being on the No-Pass List between April 19th and April 28th. The No-Pass list is run weekly
and consists of all students who have 6 or more tardies in a week and students who are
tagged as habitually truant.
c. No unexcused absences between April 19th and April 28th.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me and I will respond as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Alex Thompson

la compañía de los demás en un entorno social.
Las entradas se venderán durante el almuerzo del 23 de abril hasta el 26 de abril. Los estudiantes deben
comprar boletos temprano ya que el espacio es limitado.
Hay algunas pautas que debe tener en cuenta en la preparación para el baile de graduación:

como invitado de un estudiante de grado 11 o 12 quien está actualmente inscrito en East y en Buen es-
tado . Estudiantes de grado 9 de cualquier escuela no pueden asistir a la fiesta de graduación .
Buen estado Se define como:
Sin suspensiones entre el 19 de abril y 28 de abril
No estar en la lista de No Pase entre el 19 de abril y 28 de abril. La lista de No Pase se ejecuta semanal-
mente y consiste de todos los estudiantes que tienen 6 o más tardanzas en una semana y los estu-
diantes que son etiquetados como habitualmente ausentes.
Sin ausencias injustificadas entre el 19 de abril y 28 de abril.
Si tiene alguna pregunta, no dude en ponerse en contacto conmigo y le responderé lo antes posible.

DAVID KRUCHTEN, DEPARTMENT CHAIR & DECA Adviser
A new year, a new record! East brought twenty students to Lake Geneva to compete at the State DECA
Competition, and 17 of them moved on to the next level — Internationals in Atlanta! This was the most stu-
dents we've ever had qualify by far! We even had 3 students who double qualified!
There were about 1,200 students from around the state competing who already won at the district level, and
are the best of the best. Many events had 30-45 students and only the top seven make it on, so this is a huge
accomplishment. In addition to their role plays and tests, every one of our students took part in written pro-
jects which they didn't have to do, partnering with local businesses like ShopBop, American Family, Summit,
Astraios Financial and LJ's to do 15-30 page research projects, which they have been working on for months.
Congratulate the following students if you know them!
(Left) Emily Patzer, Declan Nashold and
Maycie Page who took 4th place in Finance
Operations Research
Emily was also a finalist in her other event, Per-
sonal Financial Literacy
(Right) Kasia Ostrowski, Linnea Drott and Brid-
get Schlichting who took 2nd place in Finance
Operations Research
Kasia also double qualified in her event taking
5th in Food Marketing

The 2018-2019 math competition season ended with a meet here at East on March 14th. Congratulations to
Liam Braddock, Sam Redemann, and Ian Stahl, who earned individual ribbons.
Math Club is More than Meets. The 19th Annual Pi Mile will take place at Warner Park on Saturday May 26th,
with registration at 9 am and the Run/Walk beginning at 10 am. Join the East math community for a nice
walk or run, and get a t-shirt plus pie. Proceeds pay for maintenance of the calculator rental program--
replacement batteries as well as calculators. (Note: Donations of used calculators welcome anytime.) East
math students will be bringing home more information about registration soon, and may want to brush up
their baking skills. Math club advisors are now accepting donated prizes for the end-of-race drawing. Con-
tact Phillip Galarowicz ([email protected] ).
April 21-28 is Money Smart Week for 2018. Here’s an internet resource to investigate, with links to more.
http://www.moneysmartweek.org/ Take time at the end of this tax season to learn more about personal fi-
nance or to share something new and age-appropriate with the students in your family. East HS offers semes-
ter courses in Personal Finance and Independent Living, and math students at all levels study savings, loans,
and interest rates in their courses. Advanced Algebra with Financial Applications is available as a 3rd-year
mathematics option.
Families of seniors may find the following “off-to-college” lifestyle and finance game to be of interest.

Math Modeling Competition Successes
Two of our six November competition teams earned Meritorious Rankings, placing them in the upper 20% of
938 teams competing internationally, and one received an Honorable Mention. East submitted five papers on
the mathematics needed to create an aerial light show “performed” by a fleet of coordinated drones. (Did
you watch the opening or closing ceremonies for the Winter Olympics in February?) We also completed an
entry which featured mathematical models for designing and ranking Olympic ski venue layouts, given a
“blank slate” mountain property to use as efficiently as possible.
One East High team participated in the national MathWorks Math Modelling Challenge on Friday, March 4th.
Juniors Ariel Haber-Fawcett, Jude Langhammer, Marlin Lee, Tenzin Namgyal, and Khailanii Slaton addressed a
3-part research question on food waste/food insecurity using every minute of the 14 hours allotted:
1) A mathematical formula to determine whether an individual state can address the needs of households
experiencing food insecurity by harvesting the useable food that is wasted within the borders of the same
state.
2) A mathematical formula to estimate the amount of food wasted by an individual household given certain
demographic features of the household.
3) A mathematical analysis of a food recovery/recycling program of the students’ choice—how well does
the program serve community needs, and what will it cost?

Results are scheduled to be announced in April. Special commendation to our team members for stepping
up to this high-intensity challenge—the East students felt good about their work and know already that they
improved on their results and process since November. They are looking forward to next year’s contests al-
ready, and some of them will be attending the Wisconsin Math Council annual meeting in May to discuss their
experience.
STEAM Week will be May 21-25 this year. STEAM is an acronym for the related disciplines of Science, Technolo-
gy, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. We are seeking guest speakers from the community to talk about how
mathematics is used by professionals throughout the Madison area. Social, and political applications are of
interest, as well as technical and business uses. We are hoping to additionally focus on applications and inter-
pretation of STEM in the arts, as this year’s event will coincide with Fine Arts Week. Please contact Cynthia Chin
([email protected] or 204-1603 x 41534) if you have suggestions for presentations or would personally
like to be involved.
Pennies Fund Four Initiatives
Math and science students contributed $888 to the February penny drive this year. Cool! Thanks to EVERYONE
who participated!
1) $450 has been donated to the UW-Madison Chapter of Engineers without Borders,
More information about the work of EWB-UW can be found at http://www.ewbuw.org/
The remaining $438 is being used to:
2) Send up to 35 East students to LEEP Day, April 20th, at UW-Madison. Latino/as Exploring Engineering Profes-
sions is an annual tour/activity/college prep day hosted by the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers
(SHPE). This year’s event also features collaboration with the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) and
local corporations which employ science, technology, engineering, and mathematics graduates.
3) Cover remaining expenses from our first-ever Family Engineering Night Out in February.
4) Support East Engineering students in their STEM outreach efforts at neighboring middle schools and elemen-
tary schools for the remainder of the spring semester. We hope to participate in community science events at
Warner Park, Lakeview Elementary School, and Blackhawk Middle School before the academic year comes
to a close.

KATHLEEN GRIMM
French club is pleased to announce that through fund raising done over a period of time, they are awarding
$7000.00 worth of travel scholarships to French students who are travelling through various programs to France
and other countries. Our successful and long-time fundraising by selling the popular chocolate bars from
Seroogy’s from a Wisconsin based company from De Pere has made these scholarships available. Thanks to
all the French club members who have taken time to sell Seroogy’s and thanks to all our loyal customers who
buy them!
French club hosted a cheese tasting event in March. We had a cheese monger come to East after school
one afternoon. Eleven students got to enjoy several different kinds of cheese, three types of French Brie, a Mi-
molette, a Roquefort and each was paired with something to enhance and compliment the flavors. There
was fresh fruit, dried fruit, jam, prosciutto, and almonds. All the students got to try cheeses they had never had
before, learned a bit about the cheese making process and most were pleasantly surprised with the taste sen-
sations to which they were introduced.
Bon Appetit!

Do you use the Portal? Have you
established access to this infor-
mation? If not, here’s why you
should and how you can get ac-
cess.
NOTE: You can sign up for Infinite
Campus in person in Room 1023
(The Freshman Office) at East
High School and must show a val-
id driver’s license or state ID. If
you have questions or issues after
the initial set-up, we can verify
your identity over the phone and
assist with issues.
What is Infinite Campus?
Today, all K-12 school districts use
some sort of database system for
managing student information
and maintaining their records.
Infinite Campus is a district-wide
student information system de-
signed to manage attendance,
grades, schedules, test scores,
and other information about the
students in the MMSD. In 2007-08,
Infinite Campus replaced anoth-
er system the MMSD had used
since the late 1980's.
What is the Infinite Campus Par-
ent Portal?
The Parent Portal is a confidential
and secure website where par-
ents and guardians can get cur-
rent information about their
child's school attendance and
grades.
What information is included in the
Portal? What do I use it for?
When you, as a parent or guardi-
an, log-in, you have access to in-
formation about all of the students
for which you are associated.
Class schedules, assignments and
grades can be viewed. E-mail hy-
perlinks facilitate communication
with classroom teachers. In addi-
tion, schools post important infor-
mation on the home page, such
as events, notices, etc. Attend-
ance information is also available.
The Parent Portal allows report
cards to be viewed online and
printed.
Through the Infinite Campus Par-
ent Portal, MMSD provides an
online communication tool which
can help you as a parent or
guardian stay current with your
student's progress. From an Inter-
net connection at home, the
workplace or any public library,
you can view up-to-date infor-
mation about your student's at-
tendance and grades.
How do I first use the Infinite Cam-
pus Parent Portal?
You must set up a user account in
order to use the Portal. Your child's
school provides you with a Parent
Portal activation code. By using
this code and following the instruc-
tions in the Parent Portal User Set-
up Guide, you can setup your own
user account for the Parent Por-
tal.

MARK GEISTLINGER, BOOSTER CLUB CO-CHAIR 2017-18
Each year the East Booster Club relies on the effort and support of the Eastside community to raise a pile of
cash, which we then spend the next year on projects that benefit East and our athletic teams (including
Dance and Cheer). This year will be no different: our capacity to purchase much-needed equipment and uni-
forms for our teams next year will depend on the success of our two upcoming fundraisers that provide the
bulk of our funds each year: the Online Auction, which runs from April 23 through May 2, and our Party for Pur-
golders, which will be held this year on May 4 at the Bos Meadery. To donate items for the auction, please
contact me right away ([email protected]). To participate in the auction and/or purchase tickets
for the Party for Purgolders, visit our auction site: www.biddingforgood.com/MEHSBoosters.
The Boosters will be busy this spring with several other important events. On May 2, the Boosters will again
award scholarships to six exceptional East scholar-athletes at the Senior Scholarships and Awards Ceremony.
Due to the overwhelming generosity of the East Hall of Fame Committee, which decided to donate the pro-
ceeds from their marvelous Induction Ceremony last October to the Booster Club, we are partnering with the
East Athletic Department to remove the dilapidated “Purple Beast” storage shed at Kelliher Field and replace
it with a new shed custom-built for East by Madison College. Finally, on May 19 (rain date 6/2), the Boosters will
continue to repair and beautify the facilities at Kelliher Field at our Spring Campus Cleanup Day. All parents,
students, and staff are encouraged to help out between 9 a.m. and noon—painting equipment, digging out
stumps, planting flowers. The event is fueled by doughnuts and coffee, and students receive E-service hours.
Looking past this spring to next school year, the East Boosters
have some key volunteer positions which will become open
after the current volunteers’ students graduate this June. The
Treasurer uses Excel spreadsheets to keep tabs on Booster
income and expenditures in our checking and savings ac-
counts. The Concessions Coordinators organize and host our
popular and lucrative concessions stand at East football and
basketball games and other large events at East. The Out-
reach Coordinator spreads the good news about the Booster
Club’s efforts to parents at sporting events, parents-team
meetings, and school-wide events like Registration Day. The
Equipment Loan Coordinator supports our athletic teams by
loaning them equipment owned by the Boosters.
The East Booster Club has been blessed to have dedicated,
energetic volunteers to lead our efforts for East. As these par-
ents’ students graduate, other parents must step in to “take
the baton” and pitch in. I’ll bet you’re busy, and don’t feel
that you have the time or knowledge to volunteer with the
East Boosters this spring or next year, but I also know that
each of our wonderful graduating volunteers also felt that
way but was glad they jumped in. Supporting the Booster
Club not only helps East, it shows your children that you care
about them and their school; East and you will be the better
for it!
(Right) Many thanks to Sandy Johnston,
graduating” Concessions Coordinator!

High School Summer Programming
The High School Summer School program is designed for students who will be entering grades 9, 10, 11 or 12
in the fall of 2018. Summer school programs will take place at all four of MMSD's high schools: East High
School, La Follette High School, Memorial High School and West High School.
A range of courses will be offered for credit recovery and first time credit. We are still finalizing the course cat-
alog for Summer 2018. The course catalog will soon be available on the district website, as well as in the high
school guidance offices. Registration forms are attached to the catalog, and can be turned in at the high
school.
Because space is limited, priority will be given to those students who are behind in credits and on a descend-
ing grade level basis: 12, 11, 10, 9, & 8. Students with individualized education programs (IEP) should consult
with their guidance counselor and/or case manager before registering for courses. Students with disabilities
will be provided access to Summer School; however, IEP’s will not be implemented in summer school unless
an Extended School Year IEP is on file.
Open Enrollment 2018 -2019 The DPI application period for the 2018-19 school year will be held February 5 – April 30, 2018. During this peri-
od, the application is available online at dpi.wi.gov/open-enrollment. Late applications for the regular open
enrollment period will not be accepted for any reason.

TELEPHONE CALLS TO CLASSROOMS
If your son/daughter or a teacher calls you from a classroom telephone during the school day and you
call that phone number back, your call gets directed to an office phone—It will not ring directly to the
classroom phone. Our phone system is not set up to allow outside calls to ring directly to classrooms during
the school day. Since calls from classrooms are generally not an emergency, if you provide our office staff
person with the phone number you dialed, they will transfer your call to the classroom voice mail.
TELEPHONE CALLS OR MESSAGES FOR STUDENTS
Parents, we ask for your assistance by confining these requests to EMERGENCY situations only. When a par-
ent calls to leave a message for a student, office staff must interrupt the teacher and other students in the
class to deliver the message. This procedure is very disruptive to the classroom learning process. Proper
planning and communication would be greatly appreciated.
PERMISSION TO LEAVE SCHOOL Following these procedures would be appreciated:
Early release for medical appointments: Parents should contact the appropriate Neighborhood or send a
note with their child the day of, or before the absence, when possible. Students then go to their Neighbor-
hood office to pick up a blue pass excusing them from class early. Students coming in late should have
been called in or have a note from a parent, doctor, or dentist to provide to their Neighborhood office.
Parents, remember that students may not leave school without a pass from their Neighborhood office. If
your student has an appointment, he or she must check out and check back in to their Neighborhood of-
fice. If your student is ill, he or she MUST go to the nurses’ office. Proper parent notification and check out
will happen at that time. Students who leave school without a pass will be marked unexcused.
REQUESTS for HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS may be done by accessing the listing of all staff on the East web-
site and e-mailing your student’s teachers directly. Contact the Neighborhood office if you have any ques-
tions.
