Human Biology students Sara King, Robin Gray, and Justine Ryan thought thelesson for the day was the digestive system of their cat. However, upon dis-secting the alimentary canal, they were also able to experience endoparsit-ism as the stomach contained roundworms and the small intestine was nearlyclogged by multiple tapeworms. Other class members discovered some largehairballs in the digestive system of their cats.

The EnvironmentalScience class has a blue-bird nest box trail of 27 nextboxes which they monitor
weekly. The monitoring introduces students to in-digenous bird species and
what their nests and eggslook like. Also show is theimpact of introduced exot-ic invasive species, mainly

From Superintendent Jerry Klooster
By: Renee Wallace
This column is dedi-cated to answering somegeneral operational ques-tions that have been posedby parents. I hope these re-sponses will provide every-one with some insight into
why certain decisions aremade. Please know that thebest long-term academicinterests o the child, stu-dent and sta saety andconsistent and equitableimplementation o policy drive all decision-making inDistrict #100.
This time o year dis-cipline issues seem to in-crease at school. For thisreason, I am dedicating thiscolumn to answer ques-tions relating to studentdiscipline.
Why does my child get a consequence or tardiness
when he is late? He’s just
in frst grade. This doesn’tseem necessary.
To begin with, hereis our policy. Students ingrades 1-5 are given 4 reeunexcused tardies each se-mester beore any type o consequence is given. Onthe ourth tardy in a semes-ter, the student is warnedand the parent is contact-ed.
I a student receives any urther tardies that semes-ter, a detention is issued.Since each student begins
with a clean slate at secondsemester, a student could
receive eight unexcused tar-dies in a year and still haveno consequence. Excusedtardies or things such asmorning doctor visits donot count in this total.
There are negative im-plications or students whoarrive late on a regular ba-sis. They may miss part o the academics o their rstclass, and require specialattention that takes time
which could be used other- wise.
Students may developbehavior patterns that areundesirable in school andlater in work. Children grow up to hold jobs and need todevelop responsible atten-dance patterns.
Research shows thatstudent attendance prob-
lems correlate directly tolower achievement, and at-tendance problems are as-sociated with lack o prep-aration to enter the work orce. Students may alsoreceive social pressure by peers when chronically latethat can lower their sel-esteem.
Schools would be remissi they did not address theissue o tardiness. Students
who come to school on time will be more successul now and in their utures.
Why did my daughter get
in trouble when she was just trying to help some-one else? Don’t we want toteach them to help others?
O course, we wantchildren to learn to helpothers, but we need to teachthem appropriate strategiesto accomplish this.
Any student who hasa hands-on issue or any reason will receive a conse-quence. Here’s an example.I one child has taken a ballaway rom another and athird decides to help by grabbing it back and knock-ing the child to the ground,
this may start a ght or in- jury may occur. The studentgrabbing the ball back to“help” the rst will receivea consequence or a hands-on act.
We would also dis-cuss other strategies withthis child or methods shemight use to help a riendi this happened again. Weencourage students to use
words to communicate.
The student mightstick up or her riend by saying, “That’s Mary’s ball.
You should give it back.”Surprisingly enough, notall children know how touse words to communi-cate when they are upset.It is easier or them to takeaction. The student mighthelp by inviting the rst
child to play jump rope withher, moving away rom theconfict.
We encourage studentsto generate ideas o how to help solve the problempeaceully. We also encour-age getting an adult to helpi a child sees someone witha problem. Helping others isa good thing as long as it isdone in a peaceul manner.
I’ve told my child to deendhimsel. Why are you sus-pending him or fghting
when he didn’t start it?Students are allowed to
deend themselves withoutpenalty i they are attacked.Deending onesel includesblocking the attack, push-ing the attacker away, yell-ing or help, or running toan adult.
Once the student who isattacked begins retaliating (punching, kicking, wrest-ing, pulling hair, scratching,etc,) he or she has becomepart o a ght and is subjectto consequences. Fighting is dangerous and is not tol-erated in school. I you tell
your child to deend him-sel, please clearly explain
the dierence between sel-deense and ghting.I hope these responses
were helpul. I urge you tocontinue to submit ques-tions about school policiesand procedures to:

Senior Awards night(continued rom page 1)
Ater Prom
I attended Stark County High School’s Ater Prom orthe rst time this year.
You see, I was a class
sponsor, a Dean o Studentand a High School Princi-pal or many years prior tobecoming a school super-intendent. I told my wie
when we moved to Stark County that since I hadprobably gone to Promabout 20 years in a row, I
was going to take a break rom Prom or a while andlet the high school principalhave all the un.
Well, this year, I re-ceived an invitation rom amember o the Ater PromCommittee to help out and,
with a little arm twisting rom my wie, I agreed to bepart o the 10:30 p.m. to 4:00a.m. shit.
I knew that the plan-ning committee workedhard all year to raise money or this event and I knew that many, many olks wereinvolved in the set up, butI was really overwhelmed
when I walked into the gymon Saturday night to see thenumber o volunteers, the
antastic decorations, thenumber o planned activi-ties and the obvious organi-zation behind the program.
I don’t know how many parents were in attendance
running games, making ood, giving directions, tak-ing tickets, watching doors,etc., but it had to be in ex-cess o ty. Volunteers wereasked to arrive by 10:30 p.m.and within a ew minutesKaren Parrott had every-one in a big circle thanking everyone or attending, ex-plaining responsibilities andreminding them about theimportance o providing asae and un environmentor our kids on Prom night.
Ater some last min-ute preparations, studentsbegan to arrive. To startthe night, a hypnotist pro-vided entertainment in theband room. Ater that show ended, students were reeto move throughout thebuilding’s lower level wheregames and activities over-seen by volunteers were setup in the HS gym, the stage,the caeteria, the hallway and the JH gym. I was incharge o the Egg Roll, which
was one o the less exciting games, but a perect t or
my experience level. Somestudents – who I believemay have elt sorry or me- were even kind enough togive my game a try.
Surprisingly, the night
went ast. Beore I knew it, it was 3:50 a.m. and students were being summoned tothe gym or a prize drawing and parting gits.
What a great event. Theparent volunteers were ex-traordinarily helpul. Thekids enjoyed themselvesand were polite and courte-ous. The cleanup crews wereon site early, well – relative-ly early, the next morning.
And Junior/Senior PromNight turned out to be a unand memorable night or allthat attended.
I would like to thank the Ater Prom Committeethat puts in countless hourso planning and prepara-tion or this annual event.I would like to thank ev-eryone and every businessthat donates money andresources to the Ater Promeort; and nally, I wouldlike to thank those involvedor inviting my wie and meto be part o this year’s pro-gram. We had a great time!
