Summer School Information Frequently Asked Questions 2012
Monday through Friday, June 18 – July 27 (no classes July 4)
• How will my child get to and from summer school?
Transportation will be provided within each summer school attendance area for those students who live more than 1.5 miles
from the summer school site. Pickup and drop off sites will be at corner stops, not door to door. The bus stop for summer
school may not be the same as the bus stop your child uses during the school year. If you live outside of the Summer
School attendance areas, no transportation will be provided unless your child is participating in one of the specialized
programs (Bilingual or 8th grade promotion). The bus routine takes a few days to establish. Your child may arrive home late
from Summer School the first three days.
• Can we have different pick up and drop off sites?
Yes; however, for MMSD to transport, the drop off site must be within the attendance areas of the schools that feed into the
summer school site. If not, you must provide your own transportation to your child’s afternoon drop off site. MMSD requires
that the child have the same pick up or drop off address for the entire 6 weeks of summer school. Please include the details
on the enrollment form showing the morning address and a different afternoon address.
My child will be living at a different address in the district this summer (or we will be moving in June).
Where should my child attend summer school?
Your child could attend the summer school site where they are living during the summer and MMSD will provide
transportation if the address is more than 1.5 miles from that site. Alternatively, your child may attend summer school at the
site based on where you are currently living; you would have to provide transportation. Please fill out the transportation
section on the enrollment form based on your summer address.
•
My child has an IEP and meets summer school criteria. What level of support will he/she receive during the
summer?
Due to the voluntary nature of ELSS, the district does not implement Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for students
with disabilities and is unable to offer the same level of support your child receives during the school year. However, the
district will provide reasonable accommodations based on the unique needs of your child to participate in the ELSS
program. Eligibility for the ELSS program is based on academic criteria. Extended School Year (ESY) services are different
than Extended Learning Summer School (ELSS). ESY is an extension of the student’s IEP. Noelle Sapiro coordinates the
summer ESY program (663-8485).
•
Grades 4 - 6: My child is eligible for one academic class. Can he/she take the other academic class even if
he/she doesn’t qualify?
Students in grades 4 – 6, who qualify for attendance in one academic area, will automatically be enrolled into an available
enrichment course.

MSCR AFTERNOON RECREATIONAL PROGRAM AT SUMMER SCHOOL SITE (SREC) You may enroll your
child in the Summer Recreation & Enrichment Center (SREC) program at the summer school site your child will
attend. The program runs from 12-4 p.m., and includes lunch, afternoon snack and a variety of recreation and
enrichment activities (outdoor and large group games, science, art, music and more). Students who live more than
1.5 miles from the summer school site will be transported home. The program ends when summer school ends on
July 27. Please select this option on your enrollment form if you would like your child to attend both the morning
programming and MSCR in the afternoon. For more information on the elementary MSCR afternoon programs
(SREC programs), contact Michelle Borkovec, MSCR Pre-K and SREC Program Coordinator, at 204-4583.
•
Is there an afternoon program for my middle school child? You may enroll your child in an MSCR Youth
Resource Center (YRC). This program includes lunch and ends at 4 p.m. Students who live more than 1.5 miles
from the summer school site will be transported home. Please select this option on your enrollment form if you
would like your child to attend YRC programming. YRC programs are available until July 27. Afternoon recreational
programs are available to all middle school students as outlined in the grid below. Some students will be
transported from their summer school site to the afternoon MSCR recreation site and then transported home. You
may choose to pick up your child at 12:00 noon and not participate in lunch or the afternoon program. There will be
a place on the enrollment form to make this choice. For more information on middle school afternoon programs,
contact Ian Hannah at 204-3052.

Preguntas más frecuentes de 2012
De lunes a viernes, desde el 18 de junio – 27 de julio
(No habrá clase el 4 de julio)
¿Como ira y llegara de la escuela a mi casa, hijo/a durante la escuela de verano?
El transporte será proporcionado dentro de cada área de asistencia a la escuela de verano para aquellos
estudiantes que viven más de 1.5 millas de la escuela de verano. Los puntos de recogida y regreso serán en las
paradas de la esquina, no de puerta en puerta. La parada de autobús para la escuela de verano puede que no sea
la misma parada de autobús que su hijo/a usa durante el año escolar. Si usted vive fuera de las áreas de asistencia
de la escuela de verano, no se proveerá transportación a menos que su hijo/a este participando en uno de los
programas especializados (la promoción de grado bilingüe u octavo grado). La ruta del autobús tarda unos cuantos
días para que se establezcas. Puede que su hijo/a llegue a casa tarde de la Escuela de Verano los primeros días.
¿Podemos tener diferentes sitios de recoger y dejar?
Si, sin embargo, para que MMSD transporte, el regreso debe estar dentro del área de asistencia de las escuelas de
veranos. Si no, usted debe proporcionar su propio transporte por la tarde a donde desea. MMSD requiere que su
hijo/a tenga la misma dirección por las seis semanas de escuela de verano de recoger y dejar. Por favor, incluya los
detalles en el formulario de la inscripción que muestra la dirección de la mañana y la dirección de regreso por la
tarde si es diferente a la de la mañana.
Mi hijo/a estará viviendo en una dirección diferente en el distrito este verano (o vamos a mover en junio).
¿Donde debe asistir mi hijo/a para escuela de verano?
Su hijo/a puede asistir a la escuela de verano donde ellos están viviendo durante el verano y MMSD proveerá la
transportación si la dirección es más de 1.5 millas de ese sitio. Por otra parte, su hijo/a puede asistir a la escuela de
verano en el sitio en función de donde viven actualmente, usted tendría que proporcionar el transporte. Por favor
llene la sección de transporte en el formulario de inscripción sobre la base de su dirección de verano.
Mi hijo tiene un IEP (Plan de Educación Individualizado) y cumple los criterios de la escuela de verano.
¿Que nivel de apoyo él/ella recibirá durante el verano?
Debido a la naturaleza voluntaria de ELSS, el distrito no implementa Programas de Plan de Educación
Individualizada (IEP) para estudiantes con discapacidades y no pueden ofrecer el mismo nivel de apoyo que su
hijo/a recibe durante el año escolar. Sin embargo, el distrito proveerá ajustes razonables basados en las
necesidades únicas de su hijo/a a participar en el programa de ELSS. La elegibilidad para el programa de ELSS se
basa en criterios académicos. El Año Escolar Extendido (AEE) es diferente a la Escuela de Verano de aprendizaje
extendido (ELSS). AEE es una extensión del IEP del estudiante. Noelle Sapiro coordina el programa de ESY en el
verano (663-8485).
Grados 4-6: Mi hijo es elegible para una clase académica. ¿Puede él/ella tomar otras clases académicas,
incluso si él/ella no cumple los requisitos?
Los estudiantes en los grados 4-6, que cualifiquen para asistir en las áreas académica, serán matriculados
automáticamente en clases disponibles de enriquecimiento.
¿Con quien puedo ponerme en contacto acerca de escuela de verano si aun
tengo mas preguntas?

Spring Nighttime Drama a Hit!
Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, the March 13 Show rocked the house. As temperatures soared outside, students soared
inside, entertaining family and friends with their favorite monologues, dialogues and skits. The shortest piece was 30 seconds;
the longest piece was twelve minutes! Fifty-four students’ lives were transformed as they took to the stage and stretched their
acting abilities. What an extraordinary night it was!
Many people deserve to be thanked: all parents and family members as well as staff in attendance and performing students,
the gracious, supportive audience, and Overture for allowing us to perform at this wonderful venue. In addition, I thank Ms.
Cohen, microphone helper extraordinaire, Ms. Holt, our still photographer, Mr. Hamann, our cameraman, and last but not
least, Brandon Hasz who comes early and stays late to set up our sound system, do the sound work during the program and
take it down at the end. Thanks, too, to all cast members and all students in attendance as well as those who couldn’t make it
but who have made my quarter a delight. How lucky I am to be your teacher. You all rock!
The next Nighttime Drama is Wednesday, May 30th, 2012, Overture’s Rotunda Stage, 201 State Street. We hope to see you
there! Fourth quarter students will surprise you!
~ Ms. Hamann
Have trouble remembering someone's phone number? Your locker combination? Just ask Julian
Garcia how it's done. Julian broke the Cherokee Heights record by memorizing 137 digits of pi in
honor of pi day, March 14th. Ask your student to tell you where pi comes from, but if you want to
know the 137th digit of pi, ask Julian.

End of the Year Field Trips
Dear Cherokee Parents/Guardians,
Cherokee 6th, 7th, and 8th grade staff are planning a year-end field trip.
6th grade –June 11th to Kalahari Waterpark in the Wisconsin Dells 7:45am – 2:40 pm
7th grade –June 11th to Mount Olympus Park in the Wisconsin Dells 7:45am – 2:40 pm
8th grade- June 8 to Mount Olympus Park in Wisconsin Dells - 7:45am – 2:40 pm.
The cost of the trip will be $30 per student. This includes transportation, park admission and a lunch.
Your child will need to bring a swimsuit, change of clothes, and sunscreen. Towels are provided by
the park. Students may bring additional money. Your child must be dressed for the weather. There is
an indoor park so we will go rain or shine, hot or cold. Please remind students that they must be back
on the bus by 1:15 in order to return on time.
There are deep water areas in the Mount Olympus Park. Please discuss water safety with your child.
The Cherokee grade staff hopes to include all students on this trip. Unsafe students will be held back
at the discretion of the principal and assistant principal.
We prefer not to exclude a child from the trip due to financial reasons. Parents may send smaller
amounts in once per week. The trip needs to be funded by Thursday, May 24 for it to happen.
Families are encourage to pay by May 24 . If we do not collect enough money by May 24 a school
site-based picnic and activity will be scheduled and money submitted for the field trip will be returned
to the respective families. Students can bring in field trip money a portion at a time if that is easier. All
trip money must be received by May 24.
Students must have their trip paid for by May 24 so that we can reduce the number of buses if
necessary. If your child will attend the year-end field trip, he/she must return the written form below.
No other forms of permission can be accepted.
Sincerely,
The Cherokee Staff

El costo del viaje será de $30 por estudiante. Esto incluye la transportación, la entrada al parque y un almuerzo.
Su hijo/a necesita traer un traje de baño o ropa apropiada, toalla, un cambio de ropa y protector para el sol. Los
estudiantes pueden traer dinero extra, si lo desean. Su hijo/a debe vestirse apropiadamente para el tiempo que
vaya hacer. Hay un parque bajo techo así que iremos con sol o con lluvia, con calor o con frió. Por favor,
reacuérdele a su hijo/a que debemos regresar al autobús para la 1:15 de esa manera podremos regresar a tiempo
para tomar los autobuses de regreso a casa.
En parque de Mount Olympus hay áreas profundas. Por favor hable con su hijo/a acerca de la seguridad en el
agua.
El personal de Cherokee espera poder incluir a todos los estudiantes en esta excursión. Los estudiantes que
causen inseguridad se quedaran en la escuela a la discreción de los directores. Nosotros preferimos no excluir a
ningún estudiante a esta excursión por razones financieras. Los padres pueden enviar dinero cada semana para
ahorrar dinero para este viaje. Para que este viaje suceda debe ser financiado para el 24 de mayo. Animamos a
las familias que paguen para el 24 de mayo. Si no colectamos suficiente dinero para el 24 de mayo en ves de ir a
la excursión haremos una actividad o picnic en la escuela y el dinero será devuelto a las familias respectivas que
pagaron. Los estudiantes también pueden traer porciones del dinero pero todo el dinero debe ser recibido para el
24 de mayo.
Los estudiantes deben tener pagado su viaje para el 24 de mayo, de esa manera podemos reducir el numero de
autobuses innecesarios. Si su hijo/a asistirá al viaje de fin de año él/ella debe regresar la forma de abajo.
Ninguna otra planilla o forma de permiso puede ser aceptada.
Atentamente,
El personal de Cherokee

8th Grade Farewell Ceremony:
Important Reminder
Planning is underway for the eighth grade farewell ceremony in the Cherokee gym on
June 11 at 6:00 pm. Due to a lack of sufficient seating space and crowded conditions
in the past, there is an attendance limit of two family members only. Each eighth
grader will be issued two tickets for two family members to attend the ceremony. This
practice has worked well over the past few years, and has made the special event safe
for everyone. Questions about this procedure can be directed to Rick Reynolds at
204-1250. Thank you in advance for your cooperation

CEREMONIA DE DESPEDIDA DE OCTAVO GRADO:
Recordatorio Importante
Han comenzado las planificaciones para la ceremonia de despedida de octavo grado
para la tarde del 11 de junio a las 6:00 pm en el gimnasio de Cherokee. Debido a la
falta de suficientes espacio de asientos y condiciones de aglomeración en el pasado,
hay un límite de asistencia de solamente dos miembros de familia. Se le proporcionara
a cada estudiante de octavo grado dos boletos para dos miembros de su familia asistir

permitido que la despedida de octavo grado sea un evento especial y seguro para
todos. Si usted tiene preguntas acerca de este procedimiento pueden hablar
directamente con Rick Reynolds al 204-1250. Muchas gracias en avance por su
cooperación.

Cherokee Students Make Books for the Guinea Kids Education Fund
For the second year, Cherokee seventh and eighth grade students from Ms. Blanchard’s and Ms.
Kadakia’s classes created simple concept books to donate to the homework center of the Guinea Kids
Education Fund. Ms. Kadakia delivered the books in person when she visited Guinea over winter
break. The Guinea students were delighted with the unique, colorful books produced by their
Wisconsin counterparts.
Take a look at some of the books here: Set 1 http://snack.to/fun0g83c or Set 2 http://snack.to/fznqbfik.
Guinea is a country in West Africa whose literacy rate is about 30% and many children are unable to afford
school. The Guinea Kids Education Fund is an organization devoted to assisting and empowering the
community by increasing the percentage of children attending and succeeding in school. Participating students
receive funding for educational resources, school tuition, school supplies, uniforms, and shoes. For more
information, see their website: http://guineakids.blogspot.com/
Seventh Grade Social Studies Classes Read to Feed
Ms. Kadakia and Ms. Tangen’s seventh grade social studies classes spent most of second quarter studying how the world
is interconnected. Students learned how overpopulation and environmental
problems contribute to increased poverty, disease, and illiteracy around the
world. One fact that astonished students was that 75 percent of the world’s
population lives on less than two dollars per day. Throughout the unit, students
were challenged to think of ways to change their own consumption habits to help
alleviate some of these problems. Students also wanted to make real change
right now for people living in poverty. The students decided to do a fundraiser
for Heifer International. For more than sixty years, Heifer has helped more than
four million impoverished families in 128 countries move away from poverty
toward self-reliance. The goal was to raise money to buy gifts of livestock and
training for struggling families who have few resources and need an ongoing
source of income. Heifer is the gift that keeps on giving. Families who receive an
animal promise to “pass on the gift” by giving the animal’s first offspring to
another family in the village. Students asked their family and friends to pledge an amount of money for each minute
they read over a one-month period. At the end of the month many students had read hundreds, even thousands, of
minutes and collected what was due. Students raised over $1180 for livestock gifts! After weighing the costs and
benefits of different types of animals, the students decided to buy sheep, goats, llamas, rabbits, and flocks of chickens
and ducks. These gifts will provide a source of food, income, fertilizer, raw goods (e.g. wool), and most importantly, a
ladder out of poverty, for families in need.
Way to go Cherokee students and families!

Hello Families!
Spring is here and so begins our request for help in the school garden this summer.
The Greiling family has kindly rototilled the garden and Ms. Schmid’s classes have been busy planning and
planting seeds.
It worked well last year. Several families and staff signed up. Your duties entail taking a couple of days of the
week to water and weed. If it rains, not need to water. The benefits of volunteering are helping out your school
and bringing home some fresh produce as the season progresses.
If you are interested in caring for the garden, please contact Jo Jensen at 204-1283 or through school email
[email protected] .
Many thanks to those who helped out last year!
Jo Jensen and Dawn Schmid
¡Saludos Familias!
La primavera esta aquí y comienza nuestra petición de ayuda para el jardín escolar este verano.
La familia Greiling ha tenido la amabilidad de preparar la tierra del jardín y la clase de la Sra. Schmid’s ha

Funciono bien el año pasado. Varias familias y el personal se registraron. Sus funciones implicarán ayudar con
un par de días a la semana para reglar el jardín y quitar las malas hierbas. Si llueve, no necesita regar. Los
beneficios de ser voluntario/a ayuda a nuestra escuela y puede llevar a la casa algunos productos frescos

Help Your Student Beat the Summer Reading Slump
The summer reading slump is the deterioration of a student’s reading skills over the summer months.
The slump and how to prevent it have been hot topics among reading experts. Not surprisingly, their
studies suggest that less access to books and less time spent reading are factors in the loss of
reading achievement during the months away from school. Harvard’s Dr. Jimmy S. Kim recommends
that students read at least four to five books over the summer to maintain their end-of-the-school-year
reading levels.
There are several ways you can fight the slump:
•
Encourage your student to take time for reading. Like any skill, reading gets better with
practice and rusty with disuse.
•
Model reading. Students who see adults reading on a regular basis tend to have higher
reading scores than those who don’t.
•
Read together. My summer reading lists, out later this month, will include a section on books
for families to enjoy together. The lists will also include some of the excellent
recommendations made by students this year.
•
Become regular users of the public library! Madison Public Library and Fitchburg have great
summer reading programs and volunteer opportunities for teens. Public libraries are free and
have loads to offer in addition to books.
•
Share books with others. If you have high-interest books in good condition gathering dust at
home, please consider donating them to our used books sale. Our goal is to make sure every
student has books to read this summer.

In the LMC….
by Laura Holt
Students have been busy with research and multimedia projects
in third quarter. Topics of inquiry included ancient Rome,
biographies, culture studies, the Holocaust, invertebrates,
Mesopotamia, poetry, battles of the Revolutionary War, and
women leaders. Project highlights included culture identity boxes
and multimedia presentations based on The Outsiders.
On March 21, forty students and several staff members
converged on the LMC after school in high spirits for a Hunger
Games party. Students were divided into districts and moved as
teams through a series of trials, including the race to the
Cornucopia, poison plant identification, Hunger Games trivia, and
Nerf weapons challenges. The adults had as much fun as the students as we shared our appreciation
for the most-talked about book—and most eagerly awaited movie—of the year.
Staff and students collectively read over 1000 books during the Reach for the Stars Reading Challenge
in March. At the spring assembly, they were treated to a star performance by our own Aretha Franklin
(Mr. Porter), boppers Ms. Schmid and Ms. Uebersetzig, musicians Ms. Riley, Ms. Hanes, and Mr.
Johnson, and a string of enthusiastic back-up dancers.
We celebrated Poetry Month in April with a variety of activities,
including a week of shout-outs in poetic form, a poetry
scavenger hunt designed by Ms. Tangen and Ms. Jo Jensen, a
poem-making wall created by Ms. Mietzel, and a Poem-inYour-Pocket contest encouraging students to share poems.
One of the shout-outs, written in haiku form by Ms. Kamp, was
dedicated to Cherokee’s passionate readers:
