Parent-Teacher Conferences
Wednesday, October 28 from 4-7 pm
Thursday, October 29th from 8 am - 12:30 pm & 2 pm - 7 pm
*No appointment necessary* Students are welcome but need not attend *Enter through Main Entrance*
The purpose of conferences is to share information and build strong partnerships between teachers, parents
and students. The Infinite Campus program allows you to view grades, attendance and other information
and report cards tell only part of the story. These should not take the place of conferences. During conferences you find out how students are really doing at school. You can talk about struggles and successes,
homework policies, projects, what parents can do to help and how to stay in touch.
Call 743-5262 for hearing-impaired services.
We use the arena format with teachers located by department.
If you need more than five minutes, make an appointment.
Craig’s PTO will provide refreshments.
Check your student’s lunch account.
Following conferences, talk to your students about the positive and negative comments made by teachers

Snow Reserve Day: Three inclement weather days for students are built into the district calendar. If school is closed
for inclement weather more than three days in the school year, the fourth and beyond inclement weather days will be
made up on the closest Snow Reserve Day after the inclement weather day that is not already being used for make-up
time (Monday, March 28; Friday, May 6; Friday, May 27; Thursday, June 9). If one or more of these days are not
needed to be used to make-up time they will be days off for students. Days marked Staff Professional Development/
Snow Reserve Day will be used for staff development if not needed to bus used to make-up instructional days due to
inclement weather.
Optional Teacher Work Days: Teachers will work 1 of the 2 Optional Work Days (Nov. 25 or June 10)

learning to see the world through Chinese eyes. and about one week exploring Shanghai, the economic engine of China. Students will earn .5 high school credit for projects completed on the trip. Registration is open now for students in grades 9-12, and the trip will be capped at

The Russian Exchange Program is now accepting applications for our next exchange
trip which is scheduled for Fall 2016. This unique program offers students the opportunity to travel to Moscow, Russia for one week and immerse in the country's culture,
history, and society by participating in various educational experiences that are rich
with hands-on learning. While in Russia, students will stay with a host family from
our partner school, Private School <<Premier>> (PSP). In return, students will get the chance to host their
Russian counterparts when they visit Craig High School. This program is open to all students. You do not have
to be in a foreign language class to participate.
We also welcome students to participate in the program who are interested in only the hosting aspect of
the program. We are currently looking for students to host a Russian student from PSP during their visit to
Craig High School from October 30-November 7, 2015. If you are interested in helping out, please contact
Mrs. Kaspar at 743-5227 or at [email protected]. You can also visit the Russian Exchange Program site that is located on our school website for more detailed information.

STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESSFUL TEENS
REQUEST TO WITHHOLD
DIRECTORY DATA &
MILITARY/HIGHER EDUCATION
OBJECTION
If you do NOT want student information or photos
released, you must sign a “Request to Withhold
Directory Data” form available at registration and
the school office. If we have not received this
form within 14 days of distribution of the school
handbook, according to state statues, the data
may be released. Please understand that by
signing this form, your child will not have his/her
picture or name in such things as the school yearbook, student newspaper, sports programs,
awards programs, music/drama program, and
The Janesville Gazette (news stories, graduation
issue). There can be no exceptions.
Also, federal law requires educational agencies to
provide recruiters, upon request, names, addresses and telephone listings. If you do NOT
want this information available, please fill out and
return the “Parental Objection” form within 14
days of enrollment.
FREE OR REDUCED LUNCH
APPLICATIONS ACCEPTED ALL YEAR
Applications for free or reduced school meal benefits may be submitted any time during the school
year. Contact your school office or the Business
Services office at the ESC, 527 S. Franklin.
MOVING?
If you move over the
summer, please call 743-5200 as
soon as possible to determine what
paperwork is needed. If moving
outside the School District of
Janesville, in most cases students
may continue attending their current school as long as you complete the paperwork within the required timeline. No address
change can be made without proof
of residency, which must have your
name, current address, and date of
the move. If you have a question
about school placement for a particular address, contact Tami Carl-
Every teenager wants to be happy, self-confident, popular, and
successful. Some are willing to do just about anything to obtain
these goals. Some let others make decisions for them, do
things against their best judgment, or trade their own individualism for the chance of being accepted. Making good decisions
can be difficult if you don’t know what you want in life. The following strategies can be used to make a successful teen.
 Setting goals involves thinking about what it is that you wish
for out of life. Start by setting realistic goals, then break larger goals into smaller goals and prioritizing them.
 Discipline is what carries us along toward the realization of a
goal. This means training regularly in order to improve your
skills, even in the face of distraction.
 Effective communication skills allow us to let our needs be
known. At the same time, it’s important to understand the
perspective of the other person. Listening is a key part of this
strategy.
 Often thought of as tedious and boring, organization is actually a way to give your brain a break. When your environment, thoughts, and tools are organized, it makes your work
easier and more effective.
 Risk-taking may seem out of place as a strategy for teens,
but taking positive risks means being willing to operate outside of your comfort zone. Trying something new can be
scary, but can promote personal growth. It may mean following your own path, and separating yourself from the pack.
Sometimes the pack may not always be the safest place to
be.
In Conclusion: Remember only you can change yourself; however, your willingness to change must be there. Every problem
is not going to disappear, or every dream will not come true, but
if you do the work, you will become a stronger, wiser, more
competent person. You already have within you all of the tools
and talents you need to create a better, more fulfilling life. All
that’s left for you to do is to really want it.

actual, por favor comuníquese a la Oficina de Servicios Administrativos al 743-5006 y pida una solicitud de exención
de colegiatura antes de que pasen dos semanas desde su mudanza. Esto le permitirá ser elegible para asistir a su
escuela actual por el resto del año en curso sin pagar colegiatura. Si su mudanza ocurre antes de febrero, también
necesitará llenar una solicitud de inscripción abierta. Las instrucciones para la solicitud las recibe el Distrito Escolar
de Janesville del Departamento de Instrucción Pública (DPI) y deben estar disponibles para mediados de enero de
2016. Este año las solicitudes se recibirán del 1 de febrero de 2016 al 29 de abril 2016.
