Principal Notes from Dr. Lewton

We are close to the half-way point of the 3rd

quarter with midterms being on February 15th

. Midterm reports will

be printed and sent home on February 22nd

. If you have any questions please contact Dr. Lewton or Ms. Friestad

at 456-0020.

Registration

Eighth Grade Registration (for students currently in the 7th

grade)

February 21st: Students will register during school and will bring home registration forms for parent approval.

If you have any questions please contact Dr. Lewton or Ms. Friestad.

Ninth Grade Registration (for students currently in the 8th

grade)

February 1st : Students will register during school and will bring home registration forms for parent approval. If

you have any questions please contact Dr. Lewton or Ms. Friestad.

Lock Downs

Your child may come home and indicate that “We practiced a lockdown today”. At Hagen Junior High we will

be practicing different lock down scenarios on a regular basis. Law enforcement, school administration, and

staff take this very serious and simply want to be prepared for different situations. Please contact me if you have

any questions at 456-0020.

Attendance

Good attendance and success at school go hand and hand. Please make sure your student has good attendance

by scheduling appointments after school or on days off. Attempt to take vacations when school is not in session.

Make sure your child stays healthy be practicing good hygiene, eating well, and getting regular exercise. When

your student is not in school it is difficult for them to learn. Furthermore, it becomes difficult for teachers to

keep all students on track when they have to spend valuable time catching students up that are regularly absent.

PAC

Any parents interested in being a member of the Parent Advisory Committee (PAC), should contact me at 456-

0020. The PAC meeting this month is on February 14th

in the Hagen Counselor’s Office at 12:00 p.m.

Counselor’s Corner From Jessica Friestad

Welcome to February! We have a busy month filled with registration, NAEP testing, and classes as usual. On

February 21st our 7

th graders will register for fall classes. Please watch for those registration forms to come

home and return them in a timely manner. Local 6th

graders will be registering for fall classes on March 21st at

7:00pm in the Hagen Gym.

The High School counselors will be holding a parent night on Thursday, January 31st at 7:00pm in the High

School auditorium for our 8th

graders and their parents. If you are unable to attend the parent night, you can

contact me if you have any questions (456-0020) or contact the High School counselors directly (456-0030).

On Friday, February 1st the High School counselors will be at Hagen to register for 9

th grade fall classes. Each

8th

grader will select classes which meet Dickinson High School graduation requirements. The counselors will

be in each 8th

grade Math class to help with registration. If your son or daughter is absent on Friday, February

1st, please have them see me as soon as they return to school.

Eighth graders will take the NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) exam on February 14th

. It is

a 90 minute test that will take place in the morning. It is essential that each student is in attendance on this day.

Please set up appointments or plan to pick your student up in the afternoon if it is absolutely necessary. NAEP

is the largest continuing and nationally representative assessment of what our students know and can do in the

core subjects of Mathematics and Reading. NAEP results are used to assess progress and develop ways to

improve education in the United States.

Library News

Students! Exciting News! We are starting to get some magazine subscriptions in up at the library. The

magazines that Mrs. Fisher has ordered so far are as follows: Sports Illustrated, Seventeen, Transworld

Skateboarding, Time Magazine, Horse Illustrated, Teen Vogue, Justine, Field and Stream, and Outdoor Life.

You can also visit with her about the possibility of ordering some other favorites.

Our procedures for checking out magazines are as follows: New magazines can only be checked out overnight

and must be returned by home base the following day. Magazines other than the most current issue can be

checked out for 1 week. We also ask you to check out the magazines on display in the library just the same as

you do the yearbooks. That means that if you just want to read them in the library; we still want you to check

them out; since it would be easy to accidently walk out of the library with an issue that many other students are

waiting to read.

We hope that you will enjoy this new feature and that you will stop in and visit us soon. Lots of things are

always happening in the library! In fact, our first book club group recently celebrated with a full length feature

film, popcorn, and pop after reading a book together. Way to go guys!

SCHOOL FACILITIES

The school enrollment in certain grades continues to increase as the current school year progresses. While

the enrollment in the entire school district has remained steady this school year, elementary enrollment continues

to grow. New students have continued to enroll throughout this school year. I thought it may be interesting for

the community to review some school district enrollment information from recent years.

Date District K-6 7-8 9-12

Feb 2009 2512 1262 377 853

Sept 2009 2634 1393 373 848

Feb. 2012 2710 1575 371 744

Jan. 2013 2865 1701 414 730

Feb. 09-Jan. 13 +353 +439 +37 -123

Pct. Inc./Dec. 14% 34.8% 9.8% -14.4%

As can be readily ascertained, over 90% of the increase in school district enrollment during the past four

years has occurred in grades K-6. There are no indications this trend in the elementary schools will stop in the

next few years. However, there are indications that enrollment at Hagen Junior High and Dickinson High School

will begin to increase as larger classes move through the school district.

At this point we are comfortable, unless there is a dramatic increase beyond what is anticipated, that we

have adequate space for elementary students for the next few years. Conversely, it may be necessary for the

school district to review facility needs for grades 7-12 as they begin to experience enrollment increases. The

following information provides a picture of the student facilities in the Dickinson School District.

Heart River- Constructed in 1982.

Jefferson- Constructed in 1963; Additions in 1983, 2003 and 2010.

Lincoln- Constructed in 1958; Additions in 1965, 1982, 1984, 2003 and 2010.

Roosevelt- Constructed in 1920; Additions in 1983 and 2003.

Prairie Rose- To be opened in the fall of 2013.

Berg- Constructed in 1950; Additions in 1952, 1955 and 2003.

Hagen JH- Constructed in 1935; Additions in 1953 and 1991.

DHS- Constructed in 1968; Additions in 1972, 1974, 1979 and 1997.

Up to this point the school district has been having extensive internal discussions about the facilities of the

school district and how to be properly positioned for the future. While we have in recent months received

information from constituents outside of the school district, there is a desire to guarantee that we provide for a

broader level of input from the community. It is important for the school district to provide for an opportunity

for input from all areas of the community. Additionally, the school district should to strive to accurately

determine the upcoming facility needs of the school district if the community continues its current population

growth.

Consequently, the school board will be requested to consider contracting for the services of a consultant to

help guide these discussions and solicit a broad level of input from the parents and constituents of the school

district. It is the hope of the administration that these services will help to facilitate a broad level of community

input and assist the district in accurately predicting the future facility needs of the school district. If the school

board approves this request the administration is optimistic that many individuals will be engaged in the

conversation. This will hopefully assist in successfully determining how to properly position the school district

from a facility perspective for future years.

If you have any questions about this or any other issue in the Dickinson Public Schools, please do not

hesitate to contact me at 456-0002 or through email at douglas.sullivan@dickinson.k12.nd.us.

INSTALACIONES DE LA ESCUELA

La matrícula escolar en ciertos grados continúa a aumentar a medida que avanza el año escolar. Mientras

que la matrícula en todo el distrito escolar se ha mantenido estable este año escolar, matrícula primaria sigue

creciendo. Nuevos estudiantes han seguido a inscribirse a lo largo de este año escolar. Pensé que puede ser

interesante para la comunidad revisar alguna información de inscripción del distrito escolar de los últimos años.

Como puede determinarse fácilmente, más del 90% del incremento en la matrícula del distrito escolar

durante los últimos cuatro años ha ocurrido en los grados K-6. No hay ninguna indicación de que esta tendencia

en las escuelas primarias se detendrá en los próximos años. Sin embargo, hay indicios de que la matrícula en

secundaria de Hagen y Dickinson secundaria empezará a aumentar como clases más grandes se mueven a través

del distrito escolar. En este punto nos sentimos cómodos, a menos que haya un incremento más allá de lo que se prevé, que

tenemos un espacio adecuado para los estudiantes de primaria para los próximos años. Por el contrario, puede ser

necesario para el distrito escolar revisar las necesidades de instalaciones para los grados 7-12 como comienzan a

experimentar aumentos de matrícula. La siguiente información proporciona una imagen de las instalaciones de

estudiante en el distrito escolar de Dickinson.

Río de corazón-construido en 1982. Jefferson - construido en 1963; Adiciones en 1983, 2003 y 2010. Lincoln - construido en 1958; Adiciones en 1965, 1982, 1984, 2003 y 2010.

Hasta este punto, el distrito escolar ha estado teniendo amplios debates internos sobre las instalaciones del

distrito escolar y cómo colocarse correctamente para el futuro. Mientras que en los últimos meses hemos

recibido información de los electores fuera del distrito escolar, existe un deseo para garantizar que

proporcionamos para un nivel más amplio de la entrada de la comunidad. Es importante para el distrito escolar

proporcionar una oportunidad para la entrada de todas las áreas de la comunidad. Además, el distrito escolar

debe esforzarse determinar con precisión las necesidades de la próxima instalación del distrito escolar si la

comunidad sigue su actual crecimiento de la población.

En consecuencia, el Consejo Escolar deberá considerar la contratación de los servicios de un consultor para

ayudar a guiar a estos debates y solicitar un amplio nivel de entrada de los padres y los electores del distrito

escolar. Es el deseo de la administración que estos servicios ayudarán a facilitar un amplio nivel de participación

de la comunidad y ayudar a predecir con exactitud las necesidades de futuras instalaciones del distrito escolar del

distrito. Si el Consejo Escolar aprueba esta solicitud, la administración es optimista de que muchas personas

participarán en la conversación. Esperemos que esto ayudará a determinar correctamente cómo posicionar

correctamente el distrito escolar desde una perspectiva de instalaciones para los próximos años. Si usted tiene alguna pregunta sobre este o cualquier otro tema en las escuelas públicas de Dickinson, no

vacile por favor ponerse en contacto conmigo en 456-0002 o a través de correo electrónico a

From slide shows to skits, group projects are often a big part of middle school. Doing assignments with classmates can teach your tween about teamwork and prepare him to work with colleagues when he grows up. Share these tips.

Build on ideas. The best ideas are often those that people come up with together. Explain to your child that when his group is choosing a topic or format for a project, it’s good to suggest as many ideas as possible. One person might take part of a classmate’s idea and tweak it or add to it. For instance, they can’t interview world leaders, but they may be able to talk to a local historian who is an expert on their subject.

Use talents. Group members should consider each other’s strengths and inter-ests when dividing up the work. Your middle schooler can ask them to discuss what they’re good at and what they like to do. For instance, a student newspaper

Take fi ve Spending just five min-utes a day talking to your

tween can help you stay connected. After work or before bedtime, try start-ing a conversation by sharing informa-tion about your own day. Then, pause and wait quietly for a moment—your child is likely to share something about hers.

Staying in schoolHabits that lead to dropping out of high school often begin in the middle grades, which means parents can help by stepping in early. If your youngster skips classes, is failing math or Eng-lish, or often gets in trouble, talk to his school counselor. Working together to come up with a plan can help make sure your child graduates.

Illustrated notesYour middle schooler has probably heard the phrase “A picture is worth a thousand words.” It’s good advice that she can apply to note-taking. Suggest that she occasionally draw sketches while her teacher talks. She can include more detail in a shorter amount of time, and seeing a drawing may help her remember the informa-tion more easily.

Worth quoting “Never mistake motion for action.” Ernest Hemingway

Just for fun

Q: What breaks when you talk?

A: Silence!

Working in a group

Family time with tweens

reporter could interview someone, while a child who loves art might create graph-ics for a slide show.

Stay “professional.” Tweens tend to have drama in their social lives. Group meetings will be more productive—and the project will probably turn out bet-ter—if they avoid discussing outside conflicts. If a work-related problem crops up (say, one member isn’t pulling his weight), they can address it profes-sionally by using a sentence that starts with “I.” Example: “I feel like some peo-ple are doing more than others. Let’s review our jobs.”

With a little creativity, you can find winter activities that your middle grader will enjoy doing with you. Build family bonds with these suggestions:

■ Have an indoor “cookout.” Ask your child to put together a playlist of beach music and come up with a menu of traditional summer foods (hot dogs, macaroni salad). She could also plan an activity such as a beanbag-toss tournament or hula-hoop contest.

■ Take a hike. Let your youngster select a park or trail that she finds interesting. It might have historical significance or be in a wildlife preservation area, for example. Pack thermoses of hot chocolate, and have her play tour guide. She can tell you why she chose that spot and point out landmarks or animals as you hike.

Middle Years February 2013 • Page 2

Say ouchIt’s okay to let your youngster

know you’re human. You might say, “It hurts my feelings when you mut-ter under your breath” or “It makes me angry when you interrupt me.” Being aware of how disrespectful behavior affects you may encourage her to think twice.

Give alternativesInstead of telling your child what

not to say, explain what she should say. Also, remind her that her tone

matters just as much as—if not more than—her words. For instance, “Thanks, I heard about that” sounds nicer than “Duh!” And “I understand that’s important to you” is better than “Whatever.”

Where in the world? A good grasp of geography is about

more than just being able to locate places on a map. It can also make your middle grader more aware of the world around him and help him understand events. Here are two ideas.

1. Hang up a world map, and have fam-ily members find places they hear or read about. They can write facts on sticky notes and put them on the correct locations on the map. For example, if your tween sees a documentary about the Titanic, he might locate the spots on the map where it sailed from, where it sank, and where it was headed.

2. Explore Google Maps. Your child can zoom in on your house, his favorite team’s stadium, and even the Great Wall of China. Encourage him to learn more about the places he looks at. He could look up the weather for each location, find out its population, and see what time zone it’s in.

Respectful relationship

Your child is polite and respectful one minute, and rude and sarcastic the next. While it’s natural for her to test your limits, she still needs to treat you with respect. Try the following strategies.

Be consistentRespond the same way each time your tween

is disrespectful. If she talks back, you might ask her to start over or to go to her room until she can be nice. If she snaps at you in a store, you could have her wait for you somewhere safe (like the checkout) or just end the trip early and go home.

To communicate well, your tween needs a good

vocabulary. These activities can increase the number of words she knows.

Word chainChoose two words whose meanings

have little or nothing in common (lemon, calculator). Write one at the top of a piece of paper and the other at the bot-tom. The goal is to make a word chain that connects the two words by a succession of related words in between. For exam-ple, you might come up with: lemon, lime,

Recognizing depression Lately, my son has been avoiding

hanging out with friends, and he doesn’t seem to have much energy. Could he be depressed?

Children can indeed suffer from depression. While it’s common for a child this age to get upset over issues like an argu-ment with a friend or not making the tennis team, he should be able to move on within a few days. If he stays upset for a couple of weeks or longer, something deeper may be going on.

Pay attention to symptoms like being quieter or more irritable than usual, a lack of energy, a loss of interest in favorite activities, big changes in sleeping or eating habits, and complaints of headaches or stomachaches.

If your son doesn’t seem like himself, trust your instincts, and have him checked. Talk to his pediatrician or school psychologist. They can determine whether your youngster is depressed and discuss ways to help him.

Word-smart activities tree, paper, pencil, calculator. Idea: Have players explain their reasoning for each word they choose. (Keep a dictionary and thesaurus handy for reference.)

Vocabulary bookmarks When your middle grader comes across

a new word while reading, suggest that she write it on a homemade bookmark. She can add the word and its definition to a

strip of paper or an index card—and then start a new bookmark as she fills each one. Seeing the words every time she uses the bookmark will help her remember them.

™Healthy Ideas for Middle and High School Students February 2013

This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

Your teen or preteen might not think much about heart health now. After all, heart disease is for “old people.” Yet his heart pumps the nutrients he needs throughout his body—100,000 times a day! During February, American Heart Month, share these tips.

Know your fatsNot all fat is bad. In fact, certain

fats are good for us. Encourage your child to check food labels for the types of fat listed. Saturated and trans fats can raise cholesterol and increase the risk of heart disease. But polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats may actually lower cholesterol. Tell him to keep saturated fats to 16 grams or less a day and to stay away from trans fats altogether.

Use more whole foodsExplain to your teen that processed

and packaged foods tend to be higher in ingredients like salt and bad fats that aren’t good for his heart. The best way

Pineapple sandwichFor a twist on traditional

sandwiches, try using fruits and vege-tables in place of bread. Spread peanut butter between two apple slices, or fold deli ham (low-fat, low-sodium) between pineapple rings. Or connect two cucumber circles with a thin layer of tuna salad (made with reduced-fat mayonnaise).

Yoga is a great way for teens to get exercise,

increase flexibility, and even lower stress. Your child could take classes at a community center or look for student discounts at a yoga studio. Once she knows the basics, she can practice at home with an inexpensive mat and a video from the library. Idea: She might be able to work at a yoga studio’s front desk in exchange for classes.

Prep ahead While unpacking groceries, why not take time to slice ingredients so they’re ready to use later? You or your teen could cut chicken or meat into strips or dice vegetables like onions and bell peppers to use in stir-fries and casse-roles. Place the items in separate freezer bags, and label with the contents and date. Then, freeze until needed.

Just for funQ: What is brown, hairy, and wears sunglasses?

A: A coconut on vacation.

Cardio exercisesAerobic exercise is the perfect workout for a strong

heart. Here are ways to get started: ● Running. Suggest that your child begin by run-

ning for a block and then walking two blocks. As she gets used to it, she can run more and walk less—until she’s running the whole time.

● Fast walking. Brisk walking is just as good for the heart as running. Join your teen in walking 20 minutes a day at a quick pace. What’s a quick pace? You should be breathing harder than usual and able to carry on a conversation—but not sing.

● Swimming. Encourage your child to head to a community pool with friends. They might try swimming one lap and then walking a few laps in the shallow end.

Did You Know?

Habits for a healthy heart

FASTTAKES

to avoid these foods is to swap them for “whole” foods. For a snack, have whole-grain toast in place of chips. For some-thing juicy, eat an orange instead of drinking juice.

Say no to smoking, drugsYour child probably knows that smok-

ing can damage the lungs. But he may not realize that smoking also affects the heart, narrowing the tubes that lead in and out and restricting the blood flow. Let him know that illegal drugs hurt the heart, too, making it work harder than normal and increasing the chance of a heart attack, even in teens.

What teen doesn’t like a slice of pizza? Skip the takeout, and try these easy—and healthier—homemade versions.

VegetableSpread a thin layer of pasta sauce on

a whole-wheat pita. Top with broccoli florets, shredded carrots, and sliced red onions. Add 1 tbsp. feta cheese crumbles. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes.

TacoSpoon salsa onto a whole-

grain tortilla. Put cooked chicken pieces and low-fat

shredded cheddar cheese on top. Bake for 12 minutes at 400°, and sprinkle on thinly sliced scallions.

PepperoniThaw a thin whole-wheat pizza

crust, or roll out prepared pizza dough (from the refrigerated section of your

grocer). Cover with low-sodium tomato sauce,

and add low-fat turkey pepperoni slices, thinly sliced green peppers, and shred-ded skim mozzarella cheese. Bake at 425° for 20 minutes.

Pizza that’s nutritious!

and varieties of fruits and vegetables. For instance, she may never have

seen fruits like lychees, guava, and cherimoya or vegetables like bok choy, daikon, and kohlrabi. Let her pick out a few to buy and ask the produce clerks about ways to prepare them.

3. Eat ethnic food. You might find Indian, Thai, Korean, Russian,

or other types of food at local restau-rants, mall food courts, or even food carts in a city. Read the menu together, and talk about which food items are the healthi-est choices and why. For example, select foods that are steamed, grilled, or broiled rather than battered, fried, or creamy.

Eat globally Let your teen travel around the world

without ever leaving your area. These three suggestions might inspire her to expand her tastes, while helping her to eat healthy foods, too. 1. Find recipes. Scan the Internet together for meals to try. Have her choose a country that interests her and search for ideas using keywords like healthy, easy, and recipes. Idea: Select a new country each month. 2. Sample produce. Visit ethnic grocery stores in your area—your youngster will probably be amazed by the colors, shapes,

Getting enough vitamin D

During my daughter Jackie’s checkup, I was surprised when the doctor asked how much time she spends outside.

The doctor explained that sun-shine helps her body produce vitamin D, which is important for bone health. Being outdoors just 10 minutes a day can help, he said. He also recommended that she have vitamin D–fortified milk as well as foods that contain vitamin D, such as eggs, salmon, and mushrooms.

Jackie is not a big milk drinker, but she agreed to try to have at least a glass a day. We also decided that she’ll be the one to walk the dog after school to get some exercise—and a daily dose of vitamin D.

Note: The daily recommended amount of vitamin D is 600 IUs (international units). One cup of milk contains 115–124 IUs.

Although you hold the plank position for just sec-onds, it works your entire body! Sug-gest that your child try each of these planks for 10 seconds and work up to 1 minute 2–4 times a week.

Standard. Lie on your stomach with your palms by your shoulders. Push up until your arms are straight and only your palms and the balls of your feet are touching the floor. Keep your hips low and your body parallel to the ground.

Side. Start in standard plank position, and shift your left hip toward the floor and your right hip toward the ceiling. Stack your right leg on top of the left, and raise your right arm toward the ceiling. Return to standard plank, roll to the opposite side, and repeat.

Spiderman. This time, go into plank position on your forearms. Then, alternate bending each leg out to the side, bringing your right knee toward your right elbow, then your left knee toward your left elbow—like Spiderman climbing a wall.
