Immunization Requirement Meningococcal Secondary School Vaccine
Requirement:
All students entering, advancing or transferring into 7th grade and
born after September
15, 2004, will need proof of one dose of meningococcal conjugate
vaccine (MenACWY). All
students entering, advancing, or transferring into 12th grade and
born after September 15,
1999, will need proof of two doses of meningococcal (A, C W, Y)
vaccine; or 1 dose if re-
ceived when the student was 16 years of age or older.
Meningitis vaccine protects against meningococcal serogroups A, C,
W, and Y. Meningococ-
cal disease caused by any serogroup is a very serious,
life-threatening illness. It is caused
by bacteria that can infect the blood, brain, and spinal cord.
Meningococcal bacteria are
spread through upper respiratory droplets, such as saliva (kissing,
living in close quarters).
About 10 to 15% of people with meningococcal disease die even with
appropriate treat-
ment. Twenty percent of people recovering from meningococcal
disease suffer from seri-
ous effects including permanent hearing loss, limb loss, or brain
damage. Meningococcal
vaccines are very safe and effective at preventing meningococcal
disease. The meningococ-
cal vaccine is 85 - 100 percent effective at preventing infection
from the subtypes of me-
ningococcus found in the vaccine.

Summer Chromebook Expectations
Ballard CSD students in grades 3-12 have the great opportunity to
utilize a Chromebook for learning during the school year. To
encourage ongoing educational opportunities, students in grades
6-7, & 9-11 will continue to have access to their Chromebooks
by taking them home during the summer months. To assist you, the
district is providing the following tips for summer Chromebook
use:
Care
Keep Chromebooks away from pets or young children. Avoid heat and
direct sunlight.
Avoid liquids-beware of wet swimsuits and towels. Keep Chromebooks
plugged into a surge protector when they are not in use.
Lack of charging may result in damage to the battery. The cost of a
replacement battery ($47.50) is the respon- sibility of the
student/guardian. Chromebook should remain in its provided bag at
all times to help protect the device from severe damage.
Chromebook must be turned on for at least 30 minutes once a week in
order to receive necessary updates. Monitoring Activity
Families should continue to monitor use at home by checking the
Chromebook browser and observing student use. Instructions on how
to check a browser is available at the Families always have the
right to limit use over the summer. For your security, your
password should not be shared. Also, reminder this is a school
device, not a personal device; please do not use anyone else’s
account on your school Chromebook. GoGuardian monitoring software
and accessibility remains active during the summer. For further
questions, review the district’s 1:1 technology information
available via the Ballard District 1:1
Parent Webpage.
DO NOT attempt to do repairs on your own.
Chromebooks that need repairs may be brought to the District
Central Office between 9:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. Monday - Thursday
except for holidays. A repair form should be filled out prior to
bringing the broken Chromebook to the District Office, if possible,
and is available here. The Ballard student must be signed into his
or her school account to access the form. If the student is unable
to access their school account, a kiosk will be avail- able at the
District Office to complete a repair form.
While Chromebooks will be repaired as quickly as possible,
replacements are not available over the summer.
The student will be contacted by their student email when the
Chromebook is ready to be picked up.
A letter will be sent home to the parent if there are any fees that
must be paid before repairs are made.
Broken chargers must be returned
DO NOT attempt to do repairs on your own.

BreakoutEDU Update It has been four years since BreakoutEDU has
gone worldwide. Since then, the game has evolved into a digital
format. Digital Breakouts are websites which contain hidden clues
and have an em- bedded Google Form, where the students enter
answers to digital padlocks. You can even have students create
these Breakouts since they do not require any equipment, apart from
a digital device. Students can either complete the Digital
Breakouts individually, in small groups or a large group. A new
feature to the BreakoutEDU Digital Breakouts is the Tags Apps by
BreakoutEDU. These apps allow players to scan BreakoutEDU Tags
during a BreakoutEDU game. The app also includes a QR Code scanner
and a RFID reader to help players open clues during games. The Tags
App is now available for both iOS and Android.
Back in November 2015, there was an article about a new concept
called BreakoutEDU in the Ballard Dimensions and the BallardTech
Blog. BreakoutEDU is an immersive learning game platform that
allows student to practice their skill on working with a diverse
group of peers to solve a complex problem. Checkout the article
here: http:// bit.ly/2WJ0610 BreakoutEDU was founded by James
Sanders in 2015. James was a mid- dle school History and English
teacher in South Los Angeles and
then taught history in the San Francisco Bay Area for many years.
He went on to be a White House Innovation Fellow and served as the
Chief Innovation Officer at the EdTechTeam. James was attending a
conference in Edmonton Canada with a few colleagues and some of his
colleagues' high school students. They all decided to experience an
Escape Room together. An Escape Room is when one pays money to be
locked in an actual room with clues/puzzles that need to be solved
in order to successfully "breakout" of the locked room.
BreakoutEDU Update While participating, James noticed how the high
school students "sprung into action and immedi- ately began
collaborating, problem solving and persevering through" to try to
solve the different clues in order to breakout of the room. James
thought to himself, "This is exactly what we want to have happen in
the classroom." After brain- storming with his colleagues on how
they could replicate this in a classroom, the group knew it might
be problematic if they locked students in a room, and this is when
the BreakoutEDU locked box was created.
BreakoutEDU is a box that is locked with different types of
padlocks. The students solve different puzzles/clues to figure out
how to unlock each of the padlocks to open the box. The puzzles can
be aligned to all different academic areas and ages. These games
can be used to introduce and/or teach core academic subjects
including math, sci- ence, history, language arts and have embedded
stand- ards that apply problem solving strategies within a real
world OR collaborative context. These games require stu- dents of
all ages (including adults) to communicate, col- laborate and think
(critically and creatively). Each of these skills allow students to
practice working with a diverse group of peers to solve a complex
problem.
A few of our Ballard teachers who have already brought BreakoutEDU
to their students are: Mrs. Zielke, Mrs. A. Hokel, Mr. Fjelland,
Mr. Macki, Mrs. Adams, East Library, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Wheeler,
Mrs. Wesselmann, HS Tech Team, HS PD, Mr. Dovre, and Mrs.
Barbaglia.

1st Grade Loves Reading! “You can find magic wherever you look. Sit
back and relax, all you need is a book!” -Dr. Seuss
Students who read over 5,000 minutes.
First grade is time of huge growth for little learners! A big part
of that growth happens in reading, where we work hard all year to
become confident, fluent readers. To help our students work towards
becoming readers, the first grade teachers ask them to keep a log
of the minutes they spend reading at home. Students counted minutes
they spent reading independently, read- ing to someone, and
listening to reading. Many stu- dents reached 3,000 minutes, some
read over 5,000 minutes, and a few even read over 10,000 minutes in
the 2018-2019 school year!
The first grade teachers want to say CON- GRATULATIONS to the first
grade readers at Ballard West and a THANK YOU to the parents for
encourag- ing their students to be readers!
The top readers from each class: Ryan J., Jack T., Owen L.,
Emmerson A., Maiya P., and Josie L.

What is Autism? There is no one type of autism, but many.
Autism, or autism spectrum disorder (ASD), refers to a broad range
of conditions char- acterized by challenges with social skills,
repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. According
to the Centers for Disease Control, autism affects an esti- mated 1
in 59 children in the United States today. We know that there is
not one autism but many subtypes, most influenced by a com-
bination of genetic and environmental factors. Because autism is a
spectrum disorder, each person with autism has a distinct set of
strengths and challenges. The ways in which people with autism
learn, think and problem-solve can range from highly skilled to
severely challenged. Some people with ASD may require significant
support in their daily lives, while others may need less support
and, in some cases, live entirely inde- pendently. Several factors
may influence the development of autism, and it is often
accompanied by sensory sensitivities and medical issues such as
gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, sei- zures or sleep disorders, as
well as mental health challenges such as anxiety, depres- sion and
attention issues. Indicators of autism usually appear by age 2 or
3. Some associated development de- lays can appear even earlier,
and often, it can be diagnosed as early as 18 months. Re- search
shows that early intervention leads to positive outcomes later in
life for people with autism. In 2013, the American Psychiatric
Association merged four distinct autism diagnoses into one umbrella
diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). They included autistic
disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, pervasive
developmental disorder-not oth- erwise specified (PDD-NOS) and
Asperger syndrome.

High School
Perfect ACT
Emily Huisinga, a junior at Ballard High School, has earned a
perfect score of 36 on her ACT. Emily joins the elite group of
top-scorers across the county. Approximately two-tenths of 1
percent of students who take the ACT earn the top score of 36. The
ACT consists of tests in English, mathematics, reading and science,
each scored on a scale of 1-36. A student's composite score is the
average of the four test scores.
Emily is the daughter of Scott and Maureen Huisinga of
Slater.
Congratulations, Emily!

HS Digital Citizenship: Year Two Annually, since 2015, students,
parents, and teachers representing our HS, MS and East build- ings
have completed a survey, designed by Clarity BrightBytes, regarding
technology access, use, and knowledge. Our High School Technology
Team (Catherine Mein, Nathan Smith, Lisa Ronca, Nick Steenhagen,
Jen Dovre, Jody Kelley, and John Ronca) meets several times at the
beginning of the school year to analyze the data and discuss areas
for improvement. Digital citizenship was identified as one of these
areas. The high school chose to spend time on digital citizenship
the last two school years (2017- 2019) because data collection from
the prior years had shown there was a need. This year's data
reflected the time and effort of the technology team, high school
teachers, the building Technology Leader (Jen Dovre), and
administration who have been dedicated to this building- wide
initiative. Please see the data below:
As you view the image above, you will see the red rectangle
highlights the Digital Citizenship category. The level of
proficiency is reflected according to a specific color: Grey -
Beginning, Pink - Emerging, Yellow/Gold - Proficient, Green -
Advanced and Blue - Exemplary.

HS Digital Citizenship: Year Two For the second year (2018-2019) in
a row, the high school building facilitated Digital Citizenship
les- sons for all students in grades 9-12. Approximately every
month, advisory teachers lead a discus- sion related to a digital
citizenship topic. With it being our second year, the high school
technology team, teachers, and administration felt it was important
for the incoming freshmen to receive the same lessons that were
presented to the high school students last year, while at the same
time providing the 10th-12th grade with new lessons. The new
lessons often included a new topic. If the students had a lesson on
a similar topic the previous year, we designed the lesson with
either a different perspective and/or a deeper level of critical
thinking. These conversations encourage students to continue their
discussion outside of the classroom. For example, after the
Cyberbullying lesson last year, student council designed and
implemented a building-wide Bullying Report Form for the high
school students. Below, you will find links to this year's
lessons.

*Note. *Note: Due to the fact that these lessons were specifically
designed for our Ballard students, in order for a parent/guardian
to view these lessons, please have your Ballard student log into
his/her Ballard account on a Chrome browser before selecting the
link or entering the URL in a Chrome browser Omnibox (address bar).
After viewing this year's Clarity BrightBytes data, the high school
teachers have selected to concentrate on the teacher category of
the 4Cs and the subcategory of communication. They also shared that
they would like to continue the Digital Citizenship Lessons in the
future. How this will all take place or what it will look like is
going to be determined by the high school teachers, tech team, and
administration. The digital citizenship planning process will begin
June 2019 and the 4Cs: Communication planning process will begin
next school year (2019- 2020). Previous HS Digital Citizenship
