KNIGHTLY NEWS SPRING 2016

IDHS - HOME OF THE KNIGHTS!From The Principal . . .

Last month, Irondale High School conducted a test run of our new Knight Time program. Knight Time is a period of unscheduled time built into the day for students to receive academic assistance, quietly study, make-up exams or labs, collaborate with classmates on projects, or any number of other positive academic endeavors. I feel Knight Time will quickly become a highly welcomed part of our school cli-mate because students often struggle to meet their academic demands with their very busy lives.

Based on the feedback we received from our students and staff, it’s safe to say that Knight Time was a huge success. This data, along with some questions and comments we received, will be used by the Design Team to make adjust-ments to the structure of Knight Time.

Student FeedbackAble to navigate the system and find their homebase quickly- 98%Used time productively- 91%Engaged in the following activities: • Completed homework- 73% • Received help from a teacher- 11% • Completed a make-up test or lab- 16% • Worked on a group project with classmates- 12% • Met with a study group- 8% • Read- 16% • Relaxed or listened to music- 46%

Staff FeedbackReceived adequate information ahead of Knight Time- 100%Saw most students using time well- 88%Pass system for traveling met needs of students and staff- 94%

A few minor adjustments may occur prior to our second test run, which will take place in May, but I am confident we will have another great session. Knight Time will be fully implemented in September of the 2016-17 school year. Knight Time will occur between our second and third hours on Wednesdays of five-day weeks, which means the Knight Time schedule will be offered approximately eleven times per semester during the next school year.

Thank you to all the members of our Knight Time Design Team!

A Knight To Know Austin Kim, Grade 9Nominated by: Mr. Franta for “Creating, Imagining and Innovating”

Mr. Franta said: Austin strives for, creates, imagines and innovates through his founding of the Hacky Sack Club here at Irondale. He is dedicated to excellence, dependable, shows leadership and is a role model for his peers.

Austin’s thoughts on being selected: Being nominated for this award by one of my fa-vorite teachers is truly an honor. The idea of “hack club”, or Hacky Sack Club, seemed like a dream, but Mr. Franta made it a reality. I’d like to thank him for nominating me for this award and for his continuous support that began on my first day of high school. This award encourages me to continue to be innovative and create things that make me and oth-ers happy.

Danika (Anya) Soberano, Grade 12Nominated by: Ms. Stiles for “Creating, Imagining and Innovating”

Ms. Stiles said: Anya is a hardworking student who has masterfully overcome challenges presented by her hearing loss. She recently delivered an effective presentation for AP Psychol-ogy students that helped them understand what it is like for her as a student with hearing loss to process language, speak, and learn. Students appreciated her unique perspective as Anya successfully fielded questions posed by her peers and teachers.

Anya’s thoughts on being selected: I’m really surprised, but I’m thankful for being nominat-ed. I’m honored to be a ‘Knight to Know’ because I keep trying to work hard at school despite my hearing disability.

Ed Olivares, Grade 12Nominated by: Ms. Kountz for “Striving for Accuracy”

Ms. Kountz said: Whether it is in class or the pool, Ed strives for accuracy/excellence. In my class, I’m impressed with his persistence and his desire to do well. If he doesn’t understand something, he will seek out help to make sure he is prepared for the exams. He is an asset to our IDHS community and I am lucky to have had him in my class for two years!

Ed’s thoughts on being selected: It means a lot to me to be chosen. It reminds me that my hard work is noticed and that I should continue striving to excel – for myself, and to serve as an example for others.

Edith James, Grade 11Nominated by: Ms. Bobbie Olson for “Engagement”

Ms. Olson said: Edith is a great role model for other students in the building. She works hard to achieve high marks in her advanced courses and uses those skills to help other students by volunteering her time as a peer mentor.

Edith’s thoughts on being selected: This award means a lot to me because I’ve always made the effort to be involved and know what’s going on in the Irondale community and it’s really great that people actually notice that. I am proud to be a student at such a great school with so many opportunities and more than glad to be a representative of the qualities that Irondale equips its students with.

a knight to know ..........Elyssa Edgeton, Grade 12Nominated by: Mr. Fink for “Continuous Learning”

Mr. Fink said: Elyssa is a model student who takes time to help other students who may be strug-gling in school. She has a positive outlook and will involve herself in any activity that would benefit others. She manages her time well and takes the most difficult courses at Irondale. She is the type of student that only makes Irondale a better place. It is an honor to know this young lady.

Elyssa’s thoughts on being selected: I think it is really important that Irondale takes time to recog-nize individual students for their varied attitudes and actions that promote their own success and the success of our community. I’m honored to have gotten this and to be a part of this school.

Josh Natere, Grade 10Nominated by: Ms. O’Brien for “Engagement”

Ms. O’Brien said: Josh is great to have in class. He always wants to do his best and is caring and thoughtful!

Josh’s thoughts on being selected: Thank you for this award. I hope I can continue to improve. I am so grateful for this because not everyone gets an award.

Maddie Nelson, Grade 9Nominated by: Ms. Moren for “Persisting”

Ms. Moren said: Maddie has done such a nice job persisting during her 9th grade year. I am proud of her hard work and dedication to school, family, and social life. She is wise beyond her years, and I am excited to see what her future holds.

Maddie’s thoughts on being selected: Great! I try to work my hardest in school and I am very glad that I am a Knight to Know!

Morgan Matlock, Grade 11Nominated by: Mr. St. Martin for “Questioning and ProblemPosing”

Mr. St. Martin said: Morgan just brings a really positive attitude and ap-proach to class. He is always clarifying the material we are working with and looking for more information about the topic. I enjoy having him in class.

Morgan’s thoughts on being selected: This award makes me believe that teachers at this school believe in their students and want them to succeed. Not only that, but they are able to see the time and effort their students put into their classes. That is why earning this award makes me think that my teachers really care about how I do in school.

Ransom Bergen, Grade 12Nominated by: Ms. Hatalla for “Creating, Imagining and Innovating”

Ms. Hatalla said: Ransom is a brilliant student and artist. He is helping Ms. Corey as a Peer Tutor this semester in her AP Literature class, integrating art into literature, making it a true “Language Arts” class.

Ransom’s thoughts on being selected: I’m a fan of this school acknowledg-ing its students’ achievements. I’m especially glad that this particular program expands the definition of achievement to fit in character traits that classroom standards of aptitude often neglect. I did not expect to be recognized, so I am sur-prised to a degree that I am much less eloquent than I’d like to be, in writing this.

Tyheem Cobb, Grade 10Nominated by: Ms. Gustafson for “Questioning and Problem Posing”

Ms. Gustafson said: During our first literature circle, Ty was tasked with the Discus-sion Director role. He really stepped up and led the discussion by asking interesting questions, listening to understand his peers, and displayed a fantastic level of manage-ment/encouragement to his lit circle peers when they wandered off point.

Ty’s thoughts on being selected: I am extremely thankful for this award. I will always attempt to exhibit what a model Irondale student is supposed to be.

The annual NWSC Music Festival occurred this year at Blaine High School. The festival strives to provide students with the opportunity to pur-sue excellence in music performance, listen to music with understanding, and celebrate the ar-tistic achievements of other student musicians. Each school’s highest level ensemble performs at an all day festival in front of other student musi-cians and a guest clinician who gives critical and supportive feedback to each group. Irondale will be hosting this exciting event next school year.

All Conference Ensembles for Band, Choir and Or-chestra are select ensembles that are formed in Oc-tober and rehearse together on three Sunday after-noons in January in preparation for a Grand Finale Concert at the end of the festival. Pictured are the 27 musicians from the top Irondale music ensem-bles who participated in the three select ensembles.

Congratulations to Irondale’s very own George Howard on being approved by the City Council of New Brighton to serve as the student representative mem-ber of the NB Public Safety Commission. To our knowledge, George is the first student to serve on any NB city commission. Brian Stub, NB City Council Mem-ber, stated that George “is an impressive young man, and his ability to answer ques-tions from the mayor and city council at his in-person interview Tuesday was memo-rable in that his answers were as thorough and well thought as any of the adults who applied for similar roles on city commissions. It was a pleasure to meet him, and I look forward to his input as a full voting member of the Public Safety Commission.”

Where will the next generation of female tech stars come from? Look no further than our own backyard, including 30 Minnesota high school girls who today were named winners and runners-up in the fourth annual Minnesota Aspirations for Women in Computing awards. Fifteen winners and 15 runners-up were chosen to receive the prestigious honor based on their interests, accomplishments, and community involvement in com-puting and technology, as well as for their aspirations in computing and technology-related fields. Among them is Mounds View’s very own Fatumastar Adan, a senior at Irondale Senior High, who is a 2016 state winner. Fatumastar is currently enrolled in PSEO at Anoka-Ramsey Community College, and is look-ing forward to completing her AA degree at the same time that she graduates from high school. She is also an intern through the Genesys Works program and is working in the IT department at Target Corporation. Being the youngest of eight children, Fatumastar is always eager to have her voice be heard. In the future she wants to incorporate technology with public health and management to better women’s lives around the world, and help other women’s voices be heard. Despite holding six in 10 American jobs, women held just 26 percent of computing occupations in 2013. And of the 1.2 million expected openings for computer specialists in 2022, the current number of American gradu-ates can fill only 39 percent. Advance IT Minnesota launched the Minnesota Aspirations for Women in Com-puting awards program to help bridge this gender and talent gap, and support, recognize and encourage young women in high school interested in computing and technology.

IDHS 2016 AP Exam Schedule

NOTE – Students must arrive on time. Once the exam begins, students can not be

admitted to test. AP exams are timed exams and the total time of an exam can vary

considerably. Most exams average approximately 3-4 hours, however, some could

potentially take 4 - 5 hours due to extenuating circumstances. Students may not be

dismissed until an exam has officially ended and students should not ask to leave early if

they finish before the end of the exam. If the student plays a sport or has a job, it is the

student’s responsibility to inform their coach or employer of their AP Exam obligation and

arrangements should be made accordingly.
