March 2013 Newsletter
Dear O’Keeffe Families and Staff,
Eighth graders have completed their course planning for high school – today; they are sporting purple or red
beads in honor of their new schools! East counselors met with students and shared important information.
Parents/Guardians have reviewed and approved schedule cards. Please call Paul Chotlos, Counselor, if you have
further questions. Remember, the first day at East is 9th graders only – it makes the transition to high school
very easy.
We are looking forward to meeting our 6th graders and have a transition timeline established. We will be
meeting with 5th grade teachers and support staff. In this newsletter, you will find an “O’Keeffe Middle School
Student Information Form for 2013-2014”, which is very helpful to us for scheduling all of our students. Please
do not request particular teachers; we are interested in learning about ways your student learns best, strategies
you have found to teach your child and other pertinent information you have to share.
WKCE information should be in backpack mail to you with an accompanying letter from the District. The letter
explains that the State of Wisconsin established new proficiency cut-offs. Please know that we use this
information in conjunction with MAP data as well as classroom performance to make decisions about
instruction, interventions and enrichment.
Two Fridays ago, we had our Honor Roll Party. 275 of our 462 students were on the honor roll. We had many
students making significant improvements this quarter. Continue to encourage your student to stay for
Homework Club and please continue to monitor Infinite Campus for upcoming assignments. Our goal for every
student is consistent improvement and engagement. Our extracurricular activities also support these goals. If
you have questions about your password, please contact Christy Fay, Learning Coordinator, at 204-6835.
Thanks to our Parent Teacher Group for hosting a workshop on social media at our last meeting. Please
continue to monitor your student’s use of social media and video games. Limiting screen time to less than two
hours a day is recommended for all of us!
Spring Break is early this year – Monday, March 25th through Monday, April 1st. School resumes on Tuesday,
April 2nd.
Sincerely,
Kay Enright, Principal

To: Parents of 6th grade students with interest in the
UW Madison PEOPLE Program
From: Paul Chotlos, School Counselor, O’Keeffe Middle
At this time, the UW Madison PEOPLE Program is accepting applications from Madison 6th graders.
Would PEOPLE be a good program for your 6th grade student? Here are answers to frequently asked
questions about the PEOPLE Program and instructions for O’Keeffe parents about how to apply. For
more detailed information about the UW-Madison PEOPLE Program, visit their web site
http://www.peopleprogram.wisc.edu or call the PEOPLE Program office at 262-7415.
What is PEOPLE Program?
PEOPLE is a pre-college pipeline for students of color and low-income students, most of whom are the
first in their families to potentially attend college. PEOPLE Program prepares students to apply, be
successfully admitted and enroll at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. PEOPLE accepts highly
motivated students for a rigorous program to build study skills, explore and strengthen academic and
career interests, and gain a positive experience on a world-class campus.
Who Can Participate?
PEOPLE is designed for students with strong academic potential who are U.S. citizens or permanent
residents and also are African American, American Indian, Asian American (with an emphasis on
Southeast Asian American), Chicano/a, Puerto Rican, Latino/a, or low-income students. Sixth grade
students in the Madison Metropolitan School District are eligible to apply to the Middle School
Program. Priority for admission is given to students eligible for the free and reduced hot lunch
program.
What’s It All About?
The six-year program begins in the summer when students have completed the sixth grade. From
mid-June to early July, program participants take part in a morning program on campus during which
students explore a subject area in depth through hands-on workshops.
During the school year, UW-Madison faculty, staff and graduate students work on campus with
PEOPLE students providing academic skills development and tutorial services. Also, each semester,
students are required to attend a Saturday Cohort meeting. Students also participate in campus
orientations and cultural enrichment activities such as attending performances at the Wisconsin
Theatre.
5
Upon graduation from high school, students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents, who have
been admitted to UW-Madison and who complete the Bridge–to–College Program will be eligible for a
tuition scholarship for up to five years.
NOTE: Completing the PEOPLE Program does not guarantee admission to the University of
Wisconsin-Madison
WHY IS IT NEEDED?
Nationwide, statistics continue to show a disproportionately low percentage of students of color and
low-income students enroll in and graduate from college.
Numerous studies have demonstrated enrollment and graduation rates can be increased by precollege programs that (a) encourage students to aspire to opportunities available through higher
education and (b) assist students in developing critical academic skills.
PEOPLE challenges motivated students by providing personal discovery, academic improvement and
career exploration. Throughout the program, students demonstrate an increased understanding for
college life and expectations as well as improved confidence in their academic abilities and
preparation.
How Should O’Keeffe 6th Grade Students Apply to the PEOPLE Program?
1. Parent and student should complete the application form, which is available from the O’Keeffe
Guidance office, or on the PEOPLE Program website. http://www.peopleprogram.wisc.edu
2. The student needs to write a short “autobiography” which is part of the application.
3. On or before March 15, return the application form and “autobiography” to School
Counselor, Paul Chotlos, in the Guidance Office at O’Keeffe. His telephone number is 2046828. Email is: [email protected]
4. When Mr. Chotlos receives your student’s PEOPLE application, he will sign the DPI form,
print a copy of your student’s transcript and contact your student’s homeroom teacher (or any
other teacher that you request) to write a recommendation. When the teacher
recommendation is ready, Mr. Chotlos will send the application and all supporting materials
directly to the PEOPLE Program. He will call you to confirm that your student’s application
packet is sent. All applications provided to the school by March 15 will be in the hands of the
PEOPLE Program before their application deadline of April 1. Mr. Chotlos needs the students’
applications by March 15 because spring vacation for Madison schools is March 25-April 1.
5. You might wish to call the PEOPLE Program Office at 262-7415 to confirm their receipt of
materials or to ask them any other program related questions.

Explore Test Results
The Explore test is part of the ACT testing series that 8th graders took in December of 2012.
A parent informational meeting was held on February 13, 2013. If you were unable to attend
this meeting, your student will receive his/her test results and a booklet explaining how to use
these test results. This information will be sent home in late February. If you have any
questions about your child's performance on this test, please contact Christy Fay, Learning
Coordinator, at O'Keeffe Middle School. She can be reached at 204-6835.

ABC Funds, Easy as 1,2,3!
The Foundation for Madison’s Public Schools’ ABC Funds provides schools an opportunity to fundraise without
administrative challenges which can impede efforts. Individual schools, PTOs or booster clubs, and individuals have the
opportunity to create an ABC Fund for a special program or project that benefits students. FMPS manages all of the clerical
work by acknowledging donors, handling the accounting, processing and writing checks as well as helping promote
fundraising efforts. This extra support gives you the ability to focus on making your fund’s goal a reality.
The Foundation currently has 38 ABC funds benefitting both specific schools and district-wide endeavors. These funds
support a diverse collection of programs by contributing to scholarships, capital projects, arts, and athletics. The ABC Funds
provide students with a vast array of opportunities to enrich their educational experiences. For example, the FMPS Breakfast
ABC Fund provides free breakfast to students who qualify for reduced-price lunch. This district-wide fund provided more
than 55,000 free breakfasts during the 2011-12 school year! Randall School established an ABC Fund to renovate and
maintain the Olive Jones Park Playground. The fund supports the playground which is used by Randall students and
neighbors all year round. These examples demonstrate the wide-range of ABC Funds, providing new possibilities and
improvements throughout the Madison Metropolitan School District.
The Foundation for Madison’s Public Schools is dedicated to creating opportunities and developing partnerships between
schools and the community. If you have questions regarding ABC Funds or would like to learn more about the Foundation,
please visit our newly revamped website at www.fmps.org. To stay up-to-date on all FMPS news and events, join our email
list via our website!
¡Fondos ABC, tan fácil como 1,2,3!
Los Fondos ABC de la Fundación para las Escuelas Públicas de Madison (FMPS por su sigla en inglés) proveen una
oportunidad a las escuelas para recaudar fondos sin los desafíos administrativos que tal vez impidan sus esfuerzos. Las
escuelas individuales, grupos de padres y maestros, clubes “booster” e individuos tienen la oportunidad de crear un Fondo
ABC para un programa o proyecto especial que beneficia a los estudiantes. FMPS maneja todo el trabajo de oficina
reconociendo a los donantes, arreglando la contabilidad, procesando y escribiendo cheques y ayudando a promover los
esfuerzos de la recaudación de fondos. Este apoyo extra le da la capacidad de enfocarse en hacer que su meta de financiación
se hace realidad.
La Fundación actualmente tiene 38 Fondos ABC que benefician tanto las escuelas específicas como los esfuerzos del distrito.
Estos fondos apoyan una colección diversa de programas con una contribución a becas, proyectos de capital, artes y deportes.
Los Fondos ABC proveen una variedad de oportunidades a los estudiantes para enriquecer sus experiencias educativas. Por
ejemplo, el Fondo ABC del Desayuno de FMPS provee un desayuno gratis a los estudiantes quienes califican por el programa
de almuerzos gratuitos a precio reducido. ¡Este fondo por todo el distrito proveyó más de 55,000 desayunos gratuitos
durante el ciclo escolar 2011-12! La Escuela Primaria Randall estableció un Fondo ABC para renovar y mantener el patio de
recreo Olive Jones Park Playground. Estos fondos apoyaron el patio de recreo que los estudiantes de Randall y los vecinos
usan durante todo el año. Estos ejemplos demuestran el alcance de los Fondos ABC que crean nuevas posibilidades y
mejoras por todo el Distrito Escolar Metropolitano de Madison.
La Fundación para las Escuelas Públicas de Madison se dedica a crear oportunidades y desarrollar asociaciones entre las
escuelas y la comunidad. Si tiene preguntas sobre los Fondos ABC o si quisiera aprender más sobre la Fundación, por favor
visite nuestro sitio web recientemente renovado www.fmps.org. ¡Para estar al tanto de todas las noticias y eventos de FMPS,
