Holiday Greetings

Holiday Greeting to you and your family. I hope this holiday season you find extra time to spend with family

and those you love. The holiday time is a premier opportunity to spend time with your adolescent child.

Research shows that children who have a strong relationship with their parents or guardians have a more

successful education. I encourage you to start a new family tradition this holiday season. Go ice skating, hiking,

sledding, bake together, clean the garage, volunteer, play basketball, start a board game or puzzle, write letters

to grandparents, wash windows, or take a drive and look at holiday lights. Just do something special as a family.

Your kids will remember it the rest of their lives.

Lock Down Procedures

Starting immediately the following Lock Down Procedures are in effect:

During a lock down no person, with the exception of an official, will be allowed to leave or enter a Dickinson

Public School District Building. Lock downs are initiated to protect students and staff by limiting individuals

with unknown intentions from entering the building. In some instances an outside threat may not be identifiable

and allowing parents or the public into the building would place our students and staff at a risk. During a lock

down administrative staff are engaged in protecting the building from possible inside or outside threats. Please

do not attempt to contact the individual school or pick up your child during a lock down. We understand

this may cause an inconvenience; our hope is you understand we have the safety of your child and hundreds’

more at interest.

at 1:30 for teacher in-service. The last day of school before holiday

break will be December 19th

Counselor’s Corner Sarah Benson Time has just flown by and we are into trimester two! It’s hard to believe that Winter Break is

just around the corner. Here are some notes from the counseling office.

Last week students had the opportunity to sign up for a schedule change if they wanted to switch out some

electives. We are no longer taking requests to change schedule as new classes are beginning on Monday,

November 24th. Students had a week to sign up for a schedule change and the time has now passed. There will be

no more schedule changes for the remainder of the year unless dictated by administration.

Keep in mind that as we see less of the sun, it is common for students to seem lethargic at home and school. To

battle the loss of energy: ensure your child is getting rest, exercising and eating healthy.

As Old Man Winter continues to breathe down our necks, it is important for students to dress warm. We go

outside for recess most days so hats, coats, mittens and scarves are mandatory to ensure our students are safe and

warm. If you are in need of these items, please contact me at 456-0020.

Internet Safety

In December, Mrs. Urlacher will once again be teaching students about the importance of on-line safety. Online social

media services aren’t new, but many of us are still learning how to use them without getting into trouble, especially

children and teens. The following is some tips to help your kids safely use any social media service.

Know what your child is posting. Check comments and images for personal information, like phone numbers and

addresses, as well as inappropriate and illegal content such as hateful or threatening speech and nudity. Delete anything

you think is too much information.

How does your child access social media? Mobile devices, like cell phones and tablets, let children access social media

apps away from adult supervision. Children may post content and even share their locations.

Review settings to help your child keep their personal information, like their location, private. Account settings allows

you to control who has access to your child’s information. Each social media service has a different setup, so take a look

at each one your child uses.

Where to report cybercrimes? If anyone talks to your child about sex, shares or asks them to share sexual images, or is a

victim of sexual exploitation, make a report to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® at

www.CyberTipline.com or 1-800-THE-LOST®. Local agents are also available at the Dickinson Police Department if a

cybercrime has occurred.

HAGEN'S TYPING CLUB STARTING NOW! Typing Club is an education platform for keyboarding. It is web-based so students can

practice in class, at home, or wherever an internet connection can be found. Developing or improving keyboarding skills without needing to look down at the keyboard will improve overall productivity when using a computer. Students can concentrate on things like sentence structure and grammar while they type. All students should be able to type at about 25 words per minute. Computer literacy has become a core element of K-12 education with students now expected to master keyboarding skills before college AND several common core standards require keyboarding.

Students can register for Hagen's Typing Club themselves online. After a short orientation session with Mrs. Bonicelli in our computer lab on how to access and practice with Typing Club, students' progress will be monitored going forward with a goal of 25 words a minute during a 12-week time frame. Students will be able to use homebase time at school or off site practice time to develop their own keyboarding skills. The lessons are “Typing Basics” starting with QWERTY keyboarding techniques and can be upgraded to more advanced levels if the student’s ability demonstrates proficiency. Students receive feedback on their scores and levels of proficiency. Additional units tests can be given with a “testing”

keyboard (no keys showing) to enforce the ability to type without looking. Register Now for our first sessions online Typing Club Signup Here .

Kindergarten Registration

Each school year, the Dickinson School District conducts registration for kindergarten students enrolling for the

next school year. Early registration is to enable the school district to properly staff and equip the schools for the

incoming kindergarten class. This year kindergarten registration for the 2015-2016 school year is scheduled for the

week of February 2-6, 2015. Previously, all parents wishing to enroll a kindergarten student for the 2015-2016 school

year were required to complete paperwork at the Central Administration Office located at 444 4th St. West. However,

the district has taken steps to streamline the process and make it more convenient for parents.

To improve our registration process, the district placed all necessary forms for registering a kindergarten

student, or new student, on the school district web site located at http://www.dpsnd.org. Parents can access the online

forms by opening the “online registration forms” link on the left side of the page. Then select the “parent” link and all

necessary forms to register a kindergarten student are available. The forms required for registering a kindergarten

student are the Family Residency Form, Student Registration Form, Language Form and the Alert Solutions Form. It

is important for parents to complete all areas of each form required for registration. To open these files the user

should first make sure that Adobe Reader at www.adobe.com has been downloaded to the computer.

Once the forms are completed online, parents can either save the completed forms to their computer and email

them to Sarah Ennis at sennis@dpsnd.org or print the completed forms and mail them or deliver the information to the

Central Administration Office. Parents who email the forms to the Central Administration Office will receive an

email response indicating the forms have been received. In each case, all parents must come to the Central

Administration Office and provide the child’s birth certificate and immunization records to complete the

registration process.

All forms are available and parents who choose to register online may register at any time. Parents who choose

to register in person at the Central Administration Office need to wait until the registration week of February 2-6,

2015. Please understand that early registration has no bearing on the placement of a child in a building and no

preference nor penalty is given for registering early or in person. We encourage use of our online registration process

or completion of forms prior to visiting the Central Administration Office. This will expedite the registration process

and is more convenient for parents. As in previous school years, all school placement decisions will be made at

the end of April. Parents will be notified of the placement by mail. If you have any problems accessing or

completing the online forms please contact the Central Administration staff for assistance.

If you have any questions about this or any other issue related to the Dickinson Public School District, please do

not hesitate to contact me at 456-0002 or through email at dsullivan@dpsnd.org.

December 2014

Where’s the best place for your child to show respect? Everywhere! Share these pointers to encourage respect no matter where he is.

School Together, talk about ways

kids are respectful—or not respectful—in his classes or after-school activities. He could compare a classmate who waited his turn patiently during a group discussion vs. the one who kept interrupting everyone else. Then, ask about times your middle grader finds it hard to show respect. For instance, maybe he thinks a teacher doesn’t grade his papers fairly. Explain that he still needs to approach him with respect—and that the teacher is more likely to listen to him that way.

Social eventsPrep your child for how to behave

at family gatherings. For starters, you might let him know that relatives won’t appreciate playing second fiddle to his phone or video game. Remind him to look people in the eye when they’re

Color-coded notes In social studies class, your tween needs to remember

which people, places, dates, and events go together. As she takes notes from her textbook, suggest that she write related words in the same color pen or pencil. For instance, if she’s reading about the Civil War, she could use blue ink for Union names and victories and gray for Confederate.

Make a time capsule This New Year’s Eve, start a tradition: Create a time capsule for the year that’s ending. Gather photos and mementos, and list big events (major news stories, blockbuster movies, top songs). Ask your child to seal the items in an enve-lope, and tuck it away in a safe place. It will be fun to open next New Year’s Eve—and then to create one for 2015.

Up for change Being adaptable can improve every-thing from your youngster’s relation-ships with friends to his value to future employers. Point out that change is part of life and that often things work out for the best. If he has to switch ideas halfway through a class project, for example, he might come up with something he likes even better.

Worth quoting“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.” John Steinbeck

Just for fun

Q: What has two hands, a round face, always runs, but stays in place?

A: A clock!

A place for respect

Do your work carefully

talking and to answer questions politely. It’s also a nice show of respect to be inter-ested in their lives and to ask questions back. (“How’s everything in Cleveland, Aunt Martha?”)

HomeThere’s no question that life goes more

smoothly when family members treat each other with respect. Consider writing up a few “Family Rules of Respect.” Each per-son could contribute an idea or two, and then work together to follow them. Some ideas: “Speak in a nice tone of voice.” “Ask before borrowing something.” “If you break or tear it, fix or replace it.”

Your middle grader might know how to solve 831 x 427 or how to spell chromosome—but if she isn’t careful, she could still get the answer wrong. Here are ways for making sure her work shows what she knows:

■ Encourage her to take care with the little things so they don’t turn into mistakes. For example, did she line up the numbers properly in her math problems? Did she include all the steps in her lab report?

■ Have your child reread papers and essays before turning them in. A tried-and-true system is to lay a sheet of paper on top of her work and slide it down slowly, reading one line at a time. Or she could try this trick: Look for one type of error (spelling, punctuation, grammar) on each reading.

Connect with other books. What is the theme of the book, and how is it similar to other books she has read? For instance, the

story might be about growing up. Your young-

ster may compare it with other coming-of-age novels

she has read—what do they have in common? Perhaps she’ll notice that characters dis-cover important things about themselves or that they start to think more about their futures.

Idea: Your tween can deepen her understanding of the plot by jotting down the connections she makes in a journal.

Start your engines!

Can your middle grader use his noo-dle to build a race car out of pasta? Encourage him to explore engineering with this activity.

1. Let him look at pasta in the grocery store and think about which shapes would fit together to make a car. Examples: lasagna for the base, spaghetti threaded through penne for axles, wagon wheels for tires.

2. Suggest that he sketch a model of his race car on paper.

3. Using his sketch, he can arrange the uncooked noodles and attach the parts with craft glue.

4. To test his vehicle, he could make a ramp by leaning a piece of cardboard against a stack of books. Then, he’s ready to send it down the ramp and measure the distance it travels.

5. Based on his results, have him rede-sign and retest until he comes up with the ultimate race car. Idea: A friend or sibling could make one, too, and they can race.

Reading: The right connections

When your tween reads, making meaningful connections can help her understand the text and enjoy reading more. Suggest these strategies.

Connect with characters. Ask your middle grader to think of ways in which she is similar to a book char-acter. Maybe the character just started middle school. Your child could think back to how she felt on the first day of school (nervous, excited) to help her understand the char-acter’s behavior.

I recently heard a star-tling statistic: About a

third of eighth graders say they’ve had alcohol in the past year. My daughter Sabrina is in eighth grade, and it really concerned me to think of children her age drinking.

I asked Sabrina how she feels about underage drinking. She said it can be dangerous and assured me she wouldn’t break the law. I was happy to hear that, but I know it’s hard to say no to peer pressure.

Together time Parent-child relationships are a lot

like gardening—tend them with care,

and watch them grow! Use these tips to

stay close to your middle grader.

Catch upTry to spend 15–20 minutes a day

in one-on-one time. Let him show you

something he’s working on, like a song on his guitar or his math homework. Or

you might chat about school or friends before he goes to sleep.

Tune inWhen your child wants to talk, stay focused on what he’s saying. You could

close your laptop if he comes to you for help or put down your magazine if he

starts to talk about his day.

Make plansAsk your youngster what special things he’d like to do together, and write them

on your calendar. Maybe he’d like to play racquetball on the weekend or go to an

art fair next month.

Alcohol…already? So we talked about ways to avoid

pressure, like only going to parties supervised by adults. I reminded Sabrina that saying yes to drinking could lead to her being arrested or suspended from school and activities. I also mentioned

that alcohol can make peo-ple do embarrassing things and even lose friends.

Sabrina didn’t say much, but I’m hoping she’ll remember our con-versation. I plan to bring up the subject regularly to help her think twice about drinking.

Healthy Ideas for Middle and High School Students December 2014

USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.

Sometimes even foods that are good for us sneak in extra calories and fat. That doesn’t mean your teen should avoid them—but he should watch how much he eats. Share this advice.

Don’t go nutsAlmonds, cashews, walnuts…

no matter the type, nuts will put protein and healthy fats in your child’s diet. Yet they pack a punch in other ways, too. A quarter cup of walnuts (good for your heart and high in omega-3s) has 190 calories and 19 grams of fat. Keep a tablespoon measure in the package so he can control his por-tions (4 tbsp. = 1–4 cup).

The awesome avocado This delicious fruit adds a creamy

taste to sandwiches, salads, and dips. It also gives your tween essential fats and B vitamins and is low in sugar. But half an avocado has 160 calories and 15 grams of fat. To watch portions, split an avo-cado among 2–4 people. (If there’s extra, refrigerate with the pit to keep it from turning brown.)

Get popping! When not smothered in

butter, popcorn can be a healthy—and still delicious—whole-grain snack. Top 3 cups of air-popped popcorn with 1 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese and 1 tsp. Italian seasoning. Or melt 1 tbsp. chocolate chips in the microwave, and drizzle on popcorn for a sweet snack.

A better night’s sleep Have your child keep phones and other electronic devices away from

her bed for a better night’s sleep. Research shows that when our phones are close by, our

brains remain more active and less able to fully rest. She can put her phone by the front door or in the kitchen instead.

Teen athletes are more at risk for abusing pre-

scription pain medicine than are non-athletes. Help your teenager play it safe by talking about the proper use of pain medication. If he’s injured, have him monitor dosage by charting when he takes his pills. And when he no longer needs the medicine, put it in a locked cabinet.

Just for fun

Q: What did one eye say to the other?

A: Between us, some-thing smells.

Gluten-free and healthy While gluten-free doesn’t have to mean flavor-free, it

also doesn’t necessarily mean healthy. Consider these tips for flavorful and healthier gluten-free eating:

● If your teen has a gluten allergy or celiac disease, she might be tempted to search only for gluten-free labels. Instead, steer her toward foods that don’t contain wheat anyway, such as fruits, vegetables, dairy, fish, and lean meat. They’ll be naturally gluten-free and naturally delicious.

● It’s exciting to find favorite foods in gluten-free versions. But have your child read the nutrition labels before deciding what to buy. A good guideline for snacks is fewer than 200 calories and at least 2 grams of fiber per serving.

Did You Know?

Hidden calories FASTTAKES

Sweet on salad Tossed salads are a mainstay of

healthy diets, but toppings can add sur-prising amounts of calories and fat. Have your child look at nutrition information online or on menus. Some restaurant websites will even let him build a salad online to control the numbers, and then he’ll know what to order when he gets there. At a salad bar or at home, encour-age him to go heavy on fresh vegetables and light on extras like bacon bits, cheese, croutons, and dressing.

Mix up taco night with new ideas that are sure to be hits with your family.

Chipotle shrimpToss 1 lb. cooked shrimp with 1–4 cup

of your favorite salsa and a few shakes of chipotle hot sauce (or use mild chipotle salsa instead). Place in whole-wheat tortillas with shredded lettuce, sliced hearts of palms (canned, rinsed), and chopped tomato. Tip: Add a squeeze of fresh lime.

Tacos with a twist

and back, bike to her after-school job, and dance to music after homework.

Stop comparing. Working out near a very fit person may make your teen feel like she doesn’t measure up. Sug-gest that she remember who she’s working out for—herself. The fact that she is at the gym exercising is what matters. She’ll be able to focus

better on her own performance and leave the self-conscious feelings behind.

Put health fi rst. It’s natural to want to change a part of our body we don’t like. Yet focusing on that can give your teenager negative views toward exercise. Encourage her to set goals like endurance (working out longer) or strength (lifting heavier weights) rather than “perfect” legs or a flat stomach.

Motivated to exercise

Even kids with healthy exercise habits need fresh ways to motivate themselves. Your child could use these suggestions to get excited about fitness.

Break it into pieces. Busy schedules often make the thought of regular workouts seem overwhelming—but that doesn’t have to be the case. Point out that exercise time can be flexi-ble. She might split workouts into two or three smaller activi-ties throughout the day. For instance, she could walk to school

Random acts of wellness

We’d heard of random acts of kind-ness, but recently our daughter Selena came home with an idea to do “random acts of wellness.” She said a friend’s cousin had done this, and she asked us to think of ways to “spread wellness.”

Selena wanted to encourage people to run a charity race with her. She wrote “Running is a home run!” and “Keep going strong!” on strips of paper. Then, she tied them to bags of homemade trail mix and handed them out to friends with a race flyer.

I decided to take fruit to work for my colleagues to snack on instead of coffee cake. And our son cut up oranges to share at soccer practice.

Selena is really enjoying sharing healthy messages. In fact, I’m wondering if there might be a career in this for her!

Build a stronger core A strong core sup-

ports everything we do. Check out these exercises for safe and fast training your tween or teen can do at home.

Bridge. Lie on your back with knees bent, feet flat and slightly apart, and arms at your side. Keeping your shoulders down, tighten your abdominals, and slowly raise your hips and glutes so your legs, stomach, and chest are elevated. Hold for 15 seconds, and lower back down.

Superhero. Lie facedown with your arms and legs stretched straight out. Tighten your abs, and slowly raise your arms and legs off the floor—like a flying superhero. Hold 10 seconds, and lower.

Leg press. Lie with your back down, knees bent, and feet flat on the floor. Raise your right knee and hip to a 90-degree angle. Then, use your right hand to push against your knee for 10 seconds. Repeat with your left side, and continue alternating legs.
