ARHS Students Attend
Latino Youth Conference
by Sonya Rodriguez, Joselly Martinez and
Lidia Ordaz Martinez
On January 24, 2011 students from all Boulder Valley School
District high schools attended the Latino Youth Leadership
Conference at CU. Each student attended 3 workshops
throughout the day; some focused on antidiscrimination,
Identity through Art, and History of Hip-hop, etc. After the first
two workshops we ate lunch while the Casey Middle School
students performed the Baile Folclorico. For the third
workshop the guys and girls separated and SPAN (Safe
house Progressive Alliance for Non-violence) gave a
speech on healthy relationships. After the speech we got
together with our school and planned how we are going
to be leaders at our school. Tatiana Padilla and Sonya
Rodriguez went up to present our plan which was to
wear our leadership shirts on Thursdays and teach the
school what the meaning of being a Latino is. After that
we finished the conference with a dance.
Casey Middle School students performed the Baile Folclorico.

Native American Youth Conference 2011
by Alejandra Martinez
The Native American conference was a
lot of fun. We started off with a delicious
breakfast and a nice short lecture on our
planet and learned how even small things
can affect us. Then we headed into the
planetarium and looked at the stars. We had a
great speaker and he told us stories about how
some stars came to be.
Then we got to eat in the café and it was
so good, I wish we had more time to eat.
The icebreakers we did were a lot of fun and
to have the drummers come in was a great
experience. We played musical chairs and did
a circle dance. Over all this was one of the
best conferences I have gone to and I can’t
wait for the next one.
Four ARHS students got to attend this year’s comference Alejandra Martinez, Chante Zahn, Julia Halsey and Stetson Mckay.

Counselor’s Corner
by Larry Akiyama and Amy Buss
We are already well into the second half of the school year
and many events have already happened or are going to happen
on the Arapahoe Campus. For example, we welcomed a group
of new students to our campus for 3rd quarter and have started
bringing students from our District high schools in for tours of
our TEC Programs. We will also begin the intake process for
taking in new students for the 4th of quarter of this school year
along with registering our current high school students for the
2011/2012 school year.
Sophomores and Juniors thinking about taking
part in one of our TEC Programs for the next school year now is
the time to turn in your application. All TEC Applications should
be turned in by the end of February. Remember: Boulder TEC
Programs fill up quickly since students from all of the area high
schools are also applying for the limited number of seats in
each program. Boulder TEC applications can be picked up in
the main office or from your counselor. Note: Boulder TEC
Applications require a parent signature, once completed and
signed, please return to Mr. Akiyama in the Counseling Office.

FYI, State ACT Testing is scheduled for all juniors
April 20, 2011. More information about the State ACT will
be in the next newsletter. Again this year, quarters 2 and 3, we
are providing an ACT Prep course. A majority of juniors have
taken the course or are presently in it preparing for the State
ACT in April. Due to scheduling and program conflicts some
juniors were not scheduled for the course but, for those juniors
who want to learn more about the ACT and prepare for the test,
please have them go on-line to: www.actstudent.org
Seniors, for many of you, believe it or not, your
graduation is just around the corner, so now is the time to start
your post-secondary education searches in earnest if you have
not already done so. Talk with our new counseling intern, Ms
Manele Short, in the Post-Graduate Center for information on 2
and 4 year colleges, tech. schools, financial aid, and scholarships
(Read her article below). In addition, you can go on-line to your
Family Connections link in Naviance or www.collegeincolorado.
com website.
Graduating seniors interested in applying for financial aid
need to begin with completing the FAFSA on-line www.fafsa.
ed.gov Once the FAFSA is completed and submitted, financial
aid offices at the post-secondary schools, community colleges,
and universities can determine the amounts/types of financial aid
a student would qualify for under their Financial Aid Guidelines.
Note: College Invest will be providing a workshop here on the
Arapahoe Campus Thursday February 24th, see flier below for
more information.
Individual Career and Academic Plans
(ICAPs) are coming to Boulder Valley School District! Beginning in 2011-12, there will be a renewed and central focus
for all 6th through 12th graders to create a vision for their world
of work future. Sixth through twelfth graders will use their
online accounts in one of two online career exploration tools
(College in Colorado or Naviance) to match interests and skills
with potential career clusters or careers and learn what it will
take to match their vision with the skills necessary to make that
vision come true. All students will be taught and will practice
goal setting skills in the areas of post-secondary planning,
academic planning, and extracurricular planning and will revisit
those goals on an annual basis to reflect on what they have
learned, what is working, and what needs to be changed. ICAPs
provide a tool to merge many aspects of a student’s life into a
centralized plan for the future. Watch this website and your
school newsletters for more about this exciting means to link
current studies and activities with future planning. ICAP…..
linking today with tomorrow’s vision.
Parents, senior graduation checks have just been
completed and most seniors are now in their final semester of
courses leading to their graduation in May. If you are not sure
about the graduation status of your student, please contact your
students’ counselor, Mr. Akiyama or Amy Buss, in the Counseling
Office. Mr. Akiyama’s phone number is 720-561-5229 and Ms.
Buss is 720-561-5592 or feel free to come in and visit with them
when you are on campus.
Note: ARHS was awarded the Colorado Counselor Corp
Grant two years ago. This Grant allowed us to hire a full time
counselor, Amy Buss, to implement ICAPs for all sophomore
students and maintain them as the student progressed through
their junior and senior years. We are very pleased to report that
Arapahoe Ridge High School is well on its way to having all
students on ICAPs by the end of this school year.
CSAP Testing begins in early March for all
sophomores. CSAP is schedule for mornings of March
1-2 and 8-9. Each year, our students have made impressive
gains in their Reading, Writing, Math, and Science scores. We
are confident that we can continue to show significant gains in
test scores in all areas this year. Teachers have worked hard this
year in preparing students for CSAP and we ask that parents

The British Tea Party
by Liliana Gordillo and Deisy Valenzuela
“Tea and books...Two of Life’s Exquisite Pleasures.” -C.S. Lewis In
December before winter break, Ms. Snody’s 3rd hour Reader’s Workshop
organized a British tea party after studying about England, the history of
tea, tea rituals, and British literature. During the class we read English
children’s books and selections from well known classics like “Great
Expectations” and “Pride and Prejudice” and learned about famous British
writers like Dickens and Austen. We also studied the history and politics of
nursery rhymes, British language and slang. In addition, we learned about
the history of tea and the Boston Tea Party. We even had tea from the
original Boston shop that sold this tea during the Revolution!!
For the party, Cory Swendson made invitiations in his Graphics
Communications class with Ms. Slater and his brother Ryan and Liliana
made a Powerpoint that we showed during the tea. Ms. Snody had help
making cookies, cakes, bars, and sandwiches from Tayler Langille’s mom
Lisa and her sister as well as Ms.Prior. The food and tea were amazing
and everyone got to pick an antique teacup to drink from. The class helped
decorate and make sandwiches. It was a great way to end the quarter.
“Tea is the drink to foget the din of the world.” -T’ien Yineng

HEARING AND VISION SCREENINGS:
Hearing and vision screenings will be held yearly. The school office can be contacted for the exact date. We need many

or special education needs.
HEALTH ROOM VOLUNTEERS:
¨ We are in need of volunteers to adequately manage the health room functions. First Aid certification from BVSD is necessary for
anyone who will provide care to students. Red Cross classes are offered free of charge for volunteers. First Aid certification is
NOT needed to help with only the paperwork in the health room. All volunteers must complete an agreement form and have a
background check. Please contact your health room or office staff if you are able to help in any way, and would like to receive
information regarding training.
EMERGENCY INFORMATION:
¨ It is extremely important that the Emergency Information be returned to school on the first day. Please complete and sign all
forms. Include information on any medications prescribed for your child, whether or not they are given during the school day.
Also describe any health conditions which may affect your child’s school routine or performance.
¨ It is important that two emergency contacts are listed and that they be aware they are on the list. Be sure to notify the office
with any changes in emergency information and phone numbers: both home and work. If your child is ill, he or she may only
be released to those listed on the Emergency Information card. If you will be out of town, please inform office staff in writing
who will be caring for your child in your absence.
MEDICATIONS IN SCHOOL:
In the Boulder Valley School District, the following guidelines are in place to provide for the safety of all students. Keep in
mind that most staff who administers medications to students are non-medical people working under the supervision of a
nurse. Please call your school’s health room paraprofessional or the District Health Services Office (720-561-5544) with any
questions regarding the medication procedures.
Boulder Valley students may receive medications at school according to the following procedure:
• Medications are not to be in the personal possession of students.
• For all prescription and non-prescription medications, a student’s parent or guardian shall make a written request for
school personnel to administer medications by providing the completed Medication Administration Authorization
form, which is to be signed by both parent and health care provider. A new Authorization form must be signed and
submitted for each new prescription medication or each dosage change. These forms are available in the school’s
health room. Completed forms can be faxed to the school. Authorization forms must be completed each year.
• Medications should always be delivered to the health room staff or office staff by an adult.
• The student must report to the health room or school office to take medications. EXCEPTION: Any student who
requires the use of an inhaler or EpiPen may carry and self-administer the prescribed medication if the health care
provider signs a specific statement on the Medication Administration Authorization form, endorsing the student’s
capability for this.
• Prescription medication supplied by the student’s parents or guardian must be in a properly labeled bottle dispensed by a pharmacy.
• Non-prescription, “as needed” medications must be in the original labeled container. The bottle should also be labeled
with the student’s name.
• A photograph of the student should be attached to the completed authorization form. It is the parents’ responsibility to supply a current picture (or clear copy) to the health room staff person.
• It is the responsibility of the parent to obtain all unused medication from the school when the medication is discontinued, the school year ends, or the student transfers to another school. At the end of a school year, school
staff will dispose of all unclaimed medications.
Parents may always come to school and administer medication to their child.

MEDICAMENTOS EN LA ESCUELA:
En el Distrito Escolar del Valle de Boulder se han establecido las siguientes reglas para la seguridad de todos los estudiantes. Recuerden que la mayoría

Llamen a la encargada de la enfermería de la escuela o a la Oficina de Servicios para la Salud del Distrito al teléfono 720-561-5544 con cualquier
pregunta sobre estas normas.
Los estudiantes del Valle de Boulder pueden tomar medicamentos en la escuela siempre que se observen las siguientes normas:
• El estudiante no puede llevar consigo los medicamentos.
• Para administrar medicamentos con o sin receta a un estudiante, su padre o tutor deberá rellenar una Autorización para Administrar Medicamentos.
Esta autorización deberá ser firmada por el padre/tutor y por el médico. Deberán firmar y entregar una nueva forma de autorización por cada nuevo
medicamento o cada cambio de dosis. Estas formas están disponibles en la enfermería de la escuela y pueden ser enviadas por fax. Todos los años se
debe renovar la autorización.
• Un adulto deberá traer los medicamentos a la enfermería o a la oficina de la escuela.
• El estudiante deberá presentarse en la enfermería o en la oficina de la escuela para tomar los medicamentos. EXCEPCIONES: el estudiante que
necesite un inhalador o EpiPen puede tenerlo consigo para usarlo cuando lo necesite pero siempre que el doctor haya firmado la sección de la
Autorización para Administrar Medicamentos que confirma que el niño está capacitado para hacerlo.
• Todos los medicamentos que los padres/tutores nos entreguen para su estudiante deberán estar en su envase original con la etiqueta de la farmacia.
• Los medicamentos sin receta para administrar “en caso de necesidad”, deberán estar en su envase original y mostrar el nombre del niño en un lugar visible.
• Se deberá adjuntar una fotografía del estudiante a la forma de autorización. Los padres son responsables de facilitar una fotografía reciente
(o una copia clara) al personal de la enfermería.
• Los padres son responsables de recoger los medicamentos cuando dejen de ser necesarios, cuando termine el año escolar o cuando el estudiante
se vaya a otra escuela. Al final del año escolar, el personal de la escuela desechará los medicamentos que no hayan sido reclamados.
Los padres pueden venir a la escuela para dar el medicamento a su hijo siempre que lo deseen.

Parent Engagement Network presents:
Secrets to Effective Parenting, Hope in identifying and Treating Teen Depression
By Dr. Jan Hittelman
As a parent, getting through your child’s adolescent years can be tough. The good news is that there are effective strategies that can help
you to dramatically reduce conflicts and avoid potentially hostile confrontations. Instead of fighting over control, we must provide teenagers
with opportunities to learn self-control. Instead of battling over our children’ irresponsible behaviors, we must encourage them to take more
responsibility for their decisions and actions. Consider the following strategies:
Empowerment. As children grow older, parents need to place more and more of the decision-making responsibilities on them. As parents we are
often reluctant to do this because we fear that our children will use poor judgment and make mistakes. While this may be true, how else will our
children eventually learn to make good decisions? We learn through trial and error. Our children need to make mistakes along the way so that they
may (hopefully!) learn from them.
Shift from dependence to independence. The normal developmental progression from pre-adolescence to young adulthood requires a shift from
dependence to independence. As parents, we need to teach our children how to behave more responsibly and yet not make their decisions for them
or oppose their efforts to take control over their lives. Ideally, we want to nurture their responsible independence.
Control versus advice: The more controlling the parent, the more likely the teenager is to rebel and eventually defy the parent. As our adolescent
children shift from dependence to independence, we as parents need to shift from controlling to advising. Your child needs to learn to make his/her
own decisions to function effectively as a young adult. Help your child by offering suggestions and then say: “But what do you think makes the
most sense for you?” And whenever possible go with the teen’s ideas.

Parent Engagement Network presenta: Superando con éxito los años de la adolescencia, Esperanza en la
identificación y tratamiento de la depresión adolescente
Por el Dr. Jan Hittelman
Como padre de familia, sobrevivir los años de la adolescencia de su hijo puede ser difícil. La buena noticia es que hay estrategias efectivas
que pueden ayudar a reducir drásticamente los conflictos y evitar confrontaciones potencialmente hostiles. En lugar de luchar por el control,
tenemos que brindar a los adolescentes la oportunidad de aprender a controlarse. En lugar de luchar por los comportamientos irresponsables
de nuestros hijos, debemos animarlos a asumir una mayor responsabilidad de sus decisiones y acciones. Considere las siguientes estrategias:
Capacite. Como los niños van creciendo, los padres deben poner más y más de las responsabilidades de tomar decisiones sobre ellos.
Como padres, a menudo somos reacios a hacer esto porque tememos que nuestros hijos usen mal juicio y cometan errores. Si bien esto puede
ser cierto, ¿cómo van nuestros hijos eventualmente a aprender a tomar buenas decisiones? Todos aprendemos probando y errando. Nuestros
niños necesitan cometer errores en el camino para que puedan (¡ojalá!) aprender de ellos.
Cambie de la dependencia a la independencia. La progresión normal del desarrollo de la pre-adolescencia a adulto joven requiere de un
cambio de dependencia a la independencia. Como padres, debemos enseñar a nuestros hijos a comportarse con mayor responsabilidad y, sin
embargo no tomar sus decisiones por ellos u oponerse a sus esfuerzos de tomar el control sobre sus vidas. Idealmente, queremos fomentar su
independencia responsable.
Control versus consejo. Cuanto más controlador sea el padre, es más probable que el adolescente se rebele y eventualmente desafíe a los
padres. A medida que nuestros hijos adolescentes cambian de la dependencia a la independencia, nosotros como padres tenemos que pasar de
controlar a aconsejar. Su hijo necesita aprender a tomar sus propias decisiones para funcionar eficazmente como un adulto joven. Ayude a su
hijo haciéndole sugerencias y luego diga: “Pero, ¿qué tiene más sentido para ti?” Y siempre que sea posible vaya de acuerdo con las ideas del
adolescente.

Fue una noche donde los padres de familia, estudiantes y administradores recibieron información e hicieron preguntas, agradezco a los padres
que asistieron a esta presentación.
También, 23 estudiantes de nuestra escuela asistieron a la Conferencia de Liderazgo Latino el 24 de enero en la Universidad de Boulder,

opportunity to ask questions, we thank all the parents who attended this presentation.
Also, 23 of our students attended the Latino Youth Leadership Conference at CU; thank you to our interventionist, Julie Graff for

I also want to remind you about two very important dates in February, the 22nd is our next Parent Night 5-7 PM, and February
24th 3-7 PM is our Parent Teacher Conferences. Both nights are important dates to attend and we need your participation. The teachers,
