----------------------- 504-PROGRAM -------------------------------
Greetings from Hanover High School! I wanted to let everyone know that we are changing how my
time will be utilized during the next school year. While I will continue to coordinate the
drafting and implementation of 504 plans, I will no longer be offering the Academic Support elective
and case management through the 504 program. Instead, I will be teaching three sections of
Supervised Study andadvising DresdenPlan students. Dresden Plan provides the opportunity for
students to receive weekly one-on-one academic counseling with a member of the faculty. Should you
and your child decide that he or she would like to participate in the Dresden Plan, please e-mail
Dick Lloyd as soon as possible (dick.lloyd@hanovernorwichschools.org). If your son or daughter
would like to sign up for Supervised Study, please contact his or her Guidance Counselor at 643-3431

Parents Have The Most Influence on Whether or Not Their Child Will Drink New Campaign Helps
Parents Start a Conversation For Immediate Release: March 12, 2010
Media Contact: Communication Office
Vermont Department of Health
802-863-7281
BURLINGTON The Vermont Department of Health and a network of 29 community coalitions are
embarking on a coordinated statewide effort to combat underage drinking with todays launch of the
ParentUp campaign. The first phase of the campaign is designed for parents of Vermont middle school
students ages 11 to 13, with a second phase for parents of older teens beginning in April. While
the rate of youth alcohol use has declined significantly in the last decade, 36 percent of Vermont
students still report they drank alcohol at least once in the last 30 days. Approximately one out of
five middle school students try alcohol before the age of 13. The primary goal of this first
phase of the campaign is to encourage parents of middle school students to talk to their children
about drinking, and to provide parents with information about community resources available to
support them, said Barbara Cimaglio, deputy commissioner, Division of Alcohol & Drug Abuse
Programs. But it is every bit as important that we get parents talking to each other and help to
create an environment that supports and perpetuates that dialogue. Parents can play a significant
role in changing the statistics on underage drinking. Studies show that parents have the most
influence on whether or not their child will drink. This campaign is designed for parents of middle
school children because younger students are much more likely to talk to parents about problems they
are having with alcohol. According to the 2009 Vermont Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 32 percent of 8th
graders and 29 percent of 9th graders would talk to a parent, compared to 22 percent of 10th, 11th,
or 12th graders. The ParentUpVT.org website and other campaign materials illustrate simple, proven
steps parents can take with their children to help reduce underage drinking. The second phase,
launching in mid-April, will encourage parents of high school students to refuse to give alcohol to
minors or host underage drinking parties, and is intended to increase awareness about community
resources and support. We want to be sure that parents feel ready and able to have these
important conversations at the time when they are needed most, said Cimaglio. Each community has
its own unique makeup and circumstances. The campaign is designed to support community coalitions
with appropriate tools to create the right localized approach with ParentUpVT.org acting as a
clearinghouse for information and resources. This grassroots campaign is supported by radio, print
and online advertising throughout March and April. For more information on about the ParentUp
campaign go to ParentUpVT.org or http://healthvermont.gov or dial 2-1-1. You can follow us on

Governor's Institute of Vermont:
Winter Weekend Update
The excitement is building in anticipation of GIV's Interdisciplinary Winter Weekend. We have
received many calls from parents and students anxious to register for this jam packed weekend full
of fun, excitement and learning!
Registration forms, course descriptions and all other need to know information are now available
at www.giv.org.Click on Winter Weekendto go directly to the website page! Finances shouldn't
stop anystudent from registering.... Winter Weekend Scholarship Applications are attached to every
Registration form!
Juniors - If you are interested in a military ROTC college scholarship, please see your Guidance
Counselor for information. It is important to start the process in your junior year of high
school.
NCAA Registration (only if you plan to play NCAA sports in college).
Now is the time for college-bound student-athletes in the junior class to register with the NCAA
Eligibility Center if they plan on participating in college athletics. Early registration promotes
positive planning and involvement, bypasses the last-minute rush and helps college-bound
student-athletes avoid issues that may delay their academic and amateur certifications. The
registration process is easy and can be done by: 1. Logging on
to the Eligibility Center's new Web site at www.eligibilitycenter.org; 2.
Selecting the Fall 2010 or After icon; 3. Selecting the New
Account tab at the top of the screen; and 4. Beginning the registration
process. Applying to College College-bound student-athletes need to apply to
the college or university they are interested in attending. Some student-athletes think that
because they are being recruited or because they have registered with the Eligibility Center, they
do not need to apply for admission. Eligibility and admission to a college or university are two
separate processes and both need to be completed.
----------------------- DRIVERS-EDUCATION-10-11 -------------------------------

----------------------- HHS-HONORS -------------------------------
April, 2010
Greta Mills, HHS math teacher, has been awarded The Christa McAuliff Sabbatical for 2010-2011. The
Christa McAuliffe Sabbatical Program was created in honor of an exceptional teacher to recognize
other exceptional teachers -- to reward them and inspire them to greater achievements. The goal of
the program is to allow teachers time-off to explore, investigate, network and to bring back to
their own classrooms, and to other teachers, new insights and a depth of experience which will
positively impact education in New Hampshire.
Here is a brief synopsis of her project:
TITLE: Students as mathematicians - making real-world applications truly realistic.
During the 2010 - 2011 academic year, I will be using this Sabbatical opportunity to connect with
industries and schools to investigate authentic, interesting problems that can be adapted to the
mathematics classroom. I will develop activities in modeling with mathematics for all secondary
levels, based on my experiences developing and implementing the curriculum for the course in
mathematical modeling for HHS students who have completed Calculus. The activities would focus on
identifying interesting and open-ended problems which students would explore and resolve in
collaborative groups. The goal by the end of the year is to work with five different schools, in two
classrooms each, to pilot week-long mini-units that address a particular curricular goal in each
classroom while giving the students the opportunity to do as mathematicians do: develop skills in
research, modeling, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration. I have already had several
schools contact me to participate in this professional exchange of ideas.
41 HHS choral students traveled to NYC, rehearsing for two days at Lincoln Center and performing
Dona Nobis Pacem in Carnegie Hall on Sat., April 17. Their performance was part of Distinguished
Concerts International with a renowned guest conductor and full orchestra. The students began
extra rehearsals in October and the culmination of their hard work was a spectacular event in New
York's most celebrated concert venue.
Congratulations to the 28 HHS music students who participated in the NH All State Music Festival in
Concord April 8 - 10. 13 singers and 15 instrumentalists were selected through a rigorous audition
process to perform in one of the select All State Band, Women's Choir, Mixed Choir, and Orchestra
ensembles. Several of our students were high scorers and held first chairs. The culminating
concerts were presented at the Capitol Center for the Arts.
March
The HHS debate teamsput in a huge effort at preparation for the Iroquois Regional Debate
Tournament (including teams from four states)and achieved great results. One of the HHS debate

second teamt was named the alternate team to the two bid-winning teams.The third team achieved a
top seven finish.The topic of the tournament was Resolved: Affirmative action to promote
equal opportunity in theUnited States is justified.
The National Tournament takes place in Kansas City, Missouri in June and our students are very
excited to compete. This is an amazing accomplishment for any team, but for a first year debate
team this is exceptional.
February

U.S. News and World Report has selected Hanover High School as one of the best schools in the United
States. Hanover High School is a Silver Medal winner and has been recognized by U.S News and World
Report for the past three years. http://www.usnews.com/sections/education/high-schools
Greta Mills, an HHS math teacher, is a finalist for the Presidential Award for Excellence in
Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST) from the State of New Hampshire. The PAEMST program
identifies outstanding mathematics and science teachers who qualify to serve as models for their
colleagues. Greta was one of two math teachers recognized in New Hampshire. Her candidacy will
be moved to the national level. Hanover High School is proud to have two previous PAEMST winners,
Jeanine King and Kevin Lavigne.

Congratulations to our Chemistry and Physics Problem Solving (CAPPS) students who competed in the
UVM TASC (Technology and Science Connection) contest. Each year the students are given a design
challenge by TASC. This year the challenge was particularly difficult. The students had to build
a machine(s) that moved as many apples as possible from the trees in the Orchard to the Market Apple
Bin in three five-minute runs. Power for the machine was derived from wind blown by no more
than two standard window box fans. Many competitors were not able to bring a working machine.
None of our four machines were working days before the competition, but Mr. Lavigne and the students
worked nights and weekends to bring four working machines to the competition.
The students placed:
1st & 2nd IBM Overall Performance Award
3rd place in the General Dynamics Efficiency award
2nd place in the IEEE Design Profit Score Award
2nd place in the Pizzagalli Performance Bushels Delivered Award
1st place in the NRG Table Award

----------------------- PARKING-REGULATIONS-FOR-STUDENTS -------------------------------
NEW HHS STUDENT PARKING POLICY
All designated student spaces will be distributed in the following order of priority:
1. Hardship Students, 2. Tuition Students, 3. Seniors
Hardship parking is defined as a situation that is out of the control of the student. This burden
would require a student to drive their vehicle to school in order to attend their classes on a daily
basis. The following circumstances DO NOT apply for Hardship:
-Extra curricular activities before or after school
-Sports
-Carpooling
-In-district students who have access to a bus route
Hardship applicants should come with a letter from their family, signed by themselves and their
guardians stating their hardship. Acceptance of Hardship situations is at the discretion of the Dean
of Students.
Hardship student parkers will park in the spaces behind the school, along the track fence, and
are within the student permit parking signs. NO OTHER PARKING SPACES ARE PERMITTED.
If you receive a Hardship parking permit, you will have it for the entire academic school year
unless your Hardship situation changes.
All senior tuition (e.g. Lyme, Hartland, etc) students who plan to drive to school will need
to fill out an application. There are 15 spaces available for tuition parkers on HOVEY LANE. NO
OTHER PARKING SPACES ARE PERMITTED. If more than 15 students apply, the names will be chosen from a
lottery. Seniors will have priority; juniors may apply if the senior spaces do not fill.
If you receive a tuition permit, you will have it for the entire academic school year.
All non tuition (e.g: Norwich, Hanover residents) seniors who plan to drive to school will
need to fill out an application. The senior parking spaces are located behind the high school, along
the track fence, and are within the student permit parking signs. NO OTHER PARKING SPACES ARE
PERMITTED.
All available senior spaces will be chosen in a lottery two times a year. For the rest of the
09-10 school year, you may apply now (November) and again in March. If you apply and DO NOT receive
a permit, you may apply again the second time. No more than one semester of parking per permit will
be given for seniors.
WE WILL NO LONGER BE TICKETING. ILLEGALLY PARKED VEHICLES MAY BE TOWED AT OWNERS EXPENSE.
Applications will be available November 16th and need to be returned by November 23rd.

HANOVER HIGH SCHOOL PORTAL INFORMATION 1-22-10HHS is making the Student Portal available to parents
and students this semester. The portal is a way for students and parents to see a snapshot of
student grades. Here's the information about the Student Portal. Philosophy
Student learning encompasses far more than can be expressed on a portal update or report card. The
information provided by the portal will strengthen communication among students, parents, and
teachers. The portal give students an opportunity to improve as independent learners who are
responsible for their own education. The Plan February 5th Students will receive a letter
containing a user name, the password, and instructions at the same time they receive their second
quarter report cards. Students will receive training on the use of the portal from their Common
Ground advisers and parents will have access to an instructional video via the HHS website. February
11th HHS will hold a Family Night for parents and students who would like to hear more about how
we envision the portal working and who have questions about accessing and using the portal. A Few
Details Parents receiving progress reports through SPED, 504, Dresden and Guidance will now check
their child's progress using the portal. Advisers from those programs either have or will be in
touch with you. Once the passwords have been given out, parents who need help accessing the portal
or want the password mailed to them will contact Tammie Patten at
portal.info@hanovernorwichschools.org Teachers will update their grades every two weeks. Grades will
be recorded in a way that best reflects the program for each class.We are excited about the
opportunities for increased communication and understanding that this new technology will provide.
However, please be aware that the grades on the portal are only a snapshot of a student's current
grades. There may be factors such as category weighting and participation which may affect the
final grade calculation at the end of each grading period. In the event of questions, we continue
to encourage students to contact their teachers directly to resolve conflicts.
Previous Weekly Email Portal Information
What is the PowerSchool portal?
When teachers use the online PowerSchool grade book program to record their grades, there is the
potential for a student, school professionals supporting that student and that students parents
to use the portal to view the students grades during the quarter.
Our teachers are either currently using the PowerSchool grade book or learning to use it.
Support Professionals such as learning specialists, the 504 teacher, guidance counselors, and
Dresden Plan advisors are using PowerTeacher grade book to view grades when they meet with students.
Almost one third of our students currently receive periodic progress notices. The portal will be
an excellent alternative to progress notices.
The portal will allow students to check their grades on a regular basis and students who have used
it report that it is a very useful tool.
----------------------- TECH-E -------------------------------
The students in Mrs. Milender's Anatomy and Physiology class have been studying the structure and
function of the heart. In these pictures they are getting to the heart of the matter by
dissecting sheep hearts. Shown in the photos are Emma Boillotat, Kim Chambers, Lizzie Leighton,
Ally Ashton, and Ike Nwokoye. However, I won't call the police to make any cardiac arrests for
breaking these hearts!
The students have also been watching videos of human dissections done by the German scientist
behind the Bodies in Motion exhibit that was at the Boston Museum of Science. The dissections
are done on plasticized bodies.

----------------------- SUMMER-READING-FOR-HHS -------------------------------
Hanover High School Summer Reading 2010 The Hanover High School English Department has
chosen The Book Thief by Markus Zusak as the shared summer reading selection for this year.
When school begins after summer vacation, you will write an in-class essay in your English
class. The English Department suggests that you mark or record interesting passages as you read The
Book Thief, so you can refresh your memory about important ideas and examples before writing the
essay. Because The Book Thief is longer than other summer reading selections, you do not
have to read a second book. However, we certainly encourage reading as much as possible during
July and August. If youd like some suggestions about what else to read, check with your
teachers, librarians, parents, and friends. Please note that the selection for Hanover's
Everyone is Reading for fall 2010 is Tracy Kidders new book, Strength in What Remains.
The Dartmouth Bookstore is giving all Hanover High School students and staff 30% off the
title The Book Thief, and Norwich Bookstore is offering a 25% discount. For all those with a
Borders Rewards Card, discount coupons are available online. Have a wonderful summer, and
we look forward to exchanging ideas about The Book Thief this fall. Sincerely, Hanover
