January 2017 Bowler School District News... Winter in Wisconsin you gotta love it! January Calendar January 2 January 20 January 23 Back to School! End of 1 st Semester No School (Inservice) Happy New Year! WE PROVIDE ACCESS TO SUCCESS IN AN EVER-CHANGEIN WORLD The Bowler School District does not discriminate on the basis of any characteristic protected under the State or Federal law including, but not limited to sex, age, race, color, national origin, ancestry, creed, religion, pregnancy, marital or parental status, sexual orientation, handicap or physical, mental, emotional, or learning disability, citizenship status, arrest record, conviction record, veteran status, membership in the national guard, state defense force or any other reserve component of the military forces of the United States or this state, or use or nonuse of lawful products off the Bowler School District s premises during nonworking hours

From the Desk of Kim Ninabuck MS/HS Principal Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I hope you have had a relaxing, joyful winter break spending time with family and friends. I cannot believe that the end of the first semester is right around the corner. The semester ends on January 20th. There will be no school on Monday, January 23 rd, teachers and staff will be having inservice. During the first or second week of January, I will be meeting with 8 th through 11 th grade students to start picking classes for 2017-2018 school year. We would like students to start thinking about their career goals beyond high school when looking at classes. Once the students get their packet (Bowler High School Course Descriptions and ERVING Classes Booklet 2016-2017) they will be planning out their classes for next year. The packets will also be available to you on our school web page (if you have internet access) so that parents may look at them prior to their son/daughter registering for classes. We hope to have them posted before or shortly after Winter Break so you can start having discussions with your son/daughter about the electives they would be interested in. We will also put a blank planning sheet on the web as well so that you know what the required courses will be at each grade level. The preregistration will be due no later than January 16th. This will help us to start looking at what classes we will be offering and to get a schedule in place for the 2017-2018 school year. On another note, in regard to the ERVING Course catalog, we are surveying the students at this time to see what classes we may offer to them. If the course is already offered in our school, then they must take it with our instructor at school. There are also some criteria that must be met in order to take classes through ERVING. Students must have good grades and be independent and trustworthy students. These classes are usually upper level classes, some entail some blended learning and an ability to be independent as the instructor teaches from a different school through distance learning. ERVING classes are not recommended for freshman or sophomores. Attention parents of Juniors, testing dates have been set for the ACT and the ACT WorkKeys. This is two days of testing for our Juniors, we are given specific times that students are to be tested. Please help us by keeping your students in school on the days of testing. The test date is set for ACT Tuesday, February 28 and the ACT WorkKeys Wednesday, March 1. The only make-up day is set for ACT, Tuesday, March 21 and ACT WorkKeys, Wednesday, March 22. This is a great opportunity for our students as they can take this the ACT for no charge and if they do well on it, the student can use their score for entrance into college or technical school. We hope see many of you in the New Year. May your 2017-year bring you much joy and happiness!

ATTENTION CHALKDUST READERS! The Chalkdust is now published on the Bowler School website at: www.bowler.k12.wi.us Paper copies of the Chalkdust are available in Elementary, High School and District offices between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. You may also call the school and a copy can be put in your student s backpack.

PARENTS GUIDETO SMART PHONE SAFETY SMARTORSCARY? Smartphones are essentially little computers, so you might be a little worried when handing one over to your child. Take some time to understand the risks and implement a few safeguards so that you can help your child use smartphones safely. THE RISKS CYBERBULLYING With the constant connectivity of smartphones, your child may be more susceptible to cyberbullying or have more opportunities to cyberbully others. GEOLOCATION A GPS-enabled smartphone can reveal your child s location through online posts and uploaded photos. INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT With smartphones, your child has mobile access to content you may consider inappropriate, such as pornography or violent videos. SEXTING Your child may use the Internet and social apps to send, receive, or forward revealing photos. VIRUSES & MALWARE Just like a computer, a smartphone is vulnerable to security attacks if your child accesses unsecured websites and apps. 5WAYS TO BE SMARTER THAN THE SMARTPHONE! 1. Be a parent and a resource. Establish clear guidelines, including time limits and consequences for inappropriate behavior, but be open so your child will come to you with any problems. 2. Set up password protection. This will keep everyone but you and your child from accessing personal information stored on the phone. 3. Update the operating system. New versions often contain important security fixes. 4. Approve apps before they are downloaded. Make sure you understand their capabilities and approve their content. 5. Understand location services. GPS features are useful when using maps, but you ll want to disable location-tagging when your child posts anything online.
