SEPTEMBER 12, 2019 FACS GETS A FACELIFT SHINY NEW CULINARY LAB

Eau Claire North’s Family and Consumer Sciences Department is excited to share

with you our newly renovated Culinary Lab. For the past five years we have

worked to create a plan that would support the needs of our increasing enrollment

in culinary courses, the need for a safer space to accommodate all students, the

trends of local employment data, the need to have a strong program of study that

would support teaching the Pro-Start industry based curriculum, opportunities for

mentored work experience, and opportunities for potential post-secondary

partnerships. We are excited for Husky Nation to have a space that will support

and address all these needs.

This space would not be possible without the input we received from our

Hospitality Advisory, numerous area businesses, the members of our local

chapter of Wisconsin’s Restaurant Association, and our local technical college and

universities. We hope you’ll be able to join us at an open house later this fall.

HEAD LICE IN SCHOOLS

• Head lice can be a nuisance, but they have not been shown to

spread disease.

• Personal hygiene or cleanliness in the home or school has

nothing to do with getting head lice.

• Transmission of head lice usually occurs through direct contact

with the head of another infested individual.

• Lice cannot hop or fly; they crawl. Nits (eggs) are attached to the

hair shaft with a glue-like substance and are very unlikely to be

transferred successfully to other people. In‐school transmission

is considered to be rare.

• When live head lice are found on a student, the parent/guardian

will be notified by phone. The student will remain in the

classroom, and a letter with treatment information will be sent

home with the student at the end of the day.

• When nits (eggs) are found on a student, the student will remain

in the classroom, and a letter with treatment information will be

sent home with the student at the end of the day.

• Parents are asked to treat for head lice and remove all nits

(eggs) before sending their child back to school. Most lice

treatments do not kill nits, so it is important to remove all nits to

prevent them from hatching into live lice.

• Treatment for lice is not recommended unless the child actually

has lice. Parents are encouraged to make checking for head lice

a part of routine hygiene, as lice is present in the community at

all times of the year.

• Lice cases are tracked, and letters to parents notifying them of

lice in the classroom will be sent out on an as-needed basis as

determined by the school nurse and administrator.

• ECASD procedures for head lice management are based on

recommendations from the CDC, AAP, the National Association

of School Nurses, the WI DPI, and the ECASD Medical Advisor.

We are still awaiting delivery of the 2019 yearbooks. We

had planned for a fall-delivery of the yearbooks, but we

had a very small yearbook staff last year and several of the

pages needed to be completed and/or edited extensively

during the summer. That said, we do anticipate delivery

very soon. Apologies on the delay.

When the books arrive, we plan to distribute them in the

NHS Commons during all lunch shifts for several days.

There will be notification via the daily announcements and

on the North website. If your son or daughter graduated in

the spring, a sibling or family friend will be allowed pick

up a yearbook with written permission (email is fine) to do

so. Or, if you let us know ahead of time, we can have the

yearbook at the reception desk in the main office. Please

contact Cheryl Boone with additional questions at. Thank

you for your patience and understanding!

ART CLUB MEETING NEXT WEEK Students interested in joining Art Club at North should

attend the organizational meeting on Sept. 18th after

school in room 443. Students should bring a leaf, about the

size of their hand, to this meeting to make something

pretty cool with it.

STUDENT COUNCIL FALL BLOOD DRIVE SEPT. 18

Thursday, Sept. 18th. Students can sign up to donate blood

SENIOR PORTRAIT SUBMISSION The North High School Yearbook staff would like to remind

parents and students of the Class of 2020 that senior pictures

should be taken during the summer months. Since senior

portraits are traditionally printed in color, the deadline for

submission to be included in the yearbook will be Friday,

January 3 -- FIRM. Don’t be disappointed; schedule an

appointment with the photographer of your choice soon.

Only digital photos are accepted for use in the yearbook. We

also suggest that a more traditional pose (head and

shoulders) works best in the yearbook. If you request it, most

photographers in the area will submit a camera-ready, digital

photograph to the school directly as a service to you. Please

request they send the (minimum) wallet-sized file as a jpeg

with a minimum of 300 dpi resolution to cboone@ecasd.us.

All you need to do is select your pose and place the order.

SENIORS – MAKE APPOINTMENTS

Seniors, please make an appointment first quarter to see your

counselor for your senior meeting. Counselors will meet with

every senior to discuss credits, graduation requirements, as

well as post-secondary planning. Stop by Student Services

and set up an appointment with your counselor through Ms.

Forrestal beginning Monday, September 16th.

SENIORS APPLYING TO SCHOOLS Please be aware that the student will be responsible for

submitting the application, application fee, transcript, and

any other supporting documents to the schools in which they

are applying. Students must request a transcript through

North’s homepage using the “order records” icon.

CLASS OF 2020 GROUP PHOTO Stay tuned for more information on a reschedule date.

CLASS OF 2020 ALL NIGHT PARTY

AT ACTION CITY

We are still looking for a chairperson for this year’s All Night

Party at Action City. Please email Janelle Patenaude if you are

interested. We also need many more parent volunteers to

make this important event a success for your students. Please

reach to Janelle if you are interested in helping out!
