Bullying Policy
The Verona Area School District strives to provide a safe, secure and respectful learning
environment for all students in school buildings, on school grounds, in school buses and at
school-sponsored activities.
Bullying has a harmful social, physical, psychological and academic impact on bullies, vic-
tims and bystanders. The District shall consistently and vigorously address bullying so that
there is no disruption to the learning environment and learning process.
Bullying behavior is prohibited in all schools, buildings, property and educational environ-
ments, including any property or vehicle owned, leased or used by the District. This includes
public transportation regularly used by students to go to and from school. Educational envi-
ronments include, but are not limited to, every activity under school supervision.
Bullying is defined as deliberate or intentional behavior using words or actions, intended
to cause fear, intimidation or harm. Bullying may be repeated behavior and involves an
imbalance of power. The behavior may be motivated by an actual or perceived distinguish-
ing characteristic, such as, but not limited to: age; national origin; race; ethnicity; religion;
gender; gender identity; sexual orientation; physical attributes; physical or mental ability or
disability; and social, economic or family status.
All school staff members and school officials who observe or become aware of acts of bully-
ing are required to report these acts to the building principal or designee in accordance with
established procedures. Reports of bullying may be made verbally or in writing and may be
made confidentially. All such reports, whether verbal or in writing, will be taken seriously
and a clear account of the incident is to be documented. A written record of the report, includ-
ing all pertinent details, will be made by the principal or design of the report.
After receiving the report, the building principal or designee will immediately undertake
an investigation of the report. The investigation shall include interviewing the individual(s)
who are victim(s) of the bullying and collecting whatever other information is necessary to
determine the facts and seriousness of the report. Parent/and or guardians of each student
involved in the bullying will be notified prior to the conclusion of the investigation. The
District will maintain the confidentiality of the report and any related student records to the
extent required by law.

Communication from the Verona Area School District
The Verona Area School District uses a variety of
means to communicate with our community. One place
to find information about the District is by accessing
the District website. Here you will find information
about the District, news, calendar, and useful links.
Please visit: http://verona.k12.wi.us
The District is in the process of updating the web-
site, and will go live with the new site on August 1,
2014. In addition to a fresh, updated look, you will find
more news features about the great things happening
in our District, useful Quicklinks to make navigation
easier, a mobile-friendly design for access on smaller
devices, and the ability to translate webpages to other
languages. In the next few months we will be adding
social media options, and look forward to connecting
with our community in a variety of formats.
The District also utilizes a communication system
called SchoolReach. This system enables the district
to automatically notify all VASD parents and guard-
ians of an emergency or other critical event such as a
closing due to inclement weather. Individual schools
may also choose to use this service from time to
time to communicate building level information, and
the High School will continue to use this system for
attendance notifications. Weather-related school clos-
ings will be communicated via SchoolReach, as well
as traditional broadcasts via local radio and television
stations. District-wide messages relating to weather
and/or emergency information are also posted on the
district website.
SchoolReach utilizes contact information extracted
from Powerschool, our student information system. It
is very important to have current contact information in
this system. When you go through the online registra-
tion process, you may make any necessary updates.
After online registration takes place you may contact
your childs school office to inform them of any new
changes to your contact information. Please note that
all information and contact numbers are strictly secure
and confidential.
SchoolReach is capable of delivering messages by:
Voice (both live answer and answering machines)
Email
Text message (if available)
The District may use any or all of the delivery
options listed above, depending on the nature of the
message.
SchoolReach also offers a toll-free Message
Retrieval Line where you can hear voice messages
that were recently sent. The phone number is 855-955-
8500. More detailed information is available on the
district website at www.verona.k12.wi.us.
If you have any questions about this notification
system, please feel free to contact Brittany Embury at
District Office (608-845-4305).

Superintendents Greeting
Dear students and parents,
Welcome to the 2014
2015 school year! The
entire staff of the Verona
Area School District
(VASD) from teachers to
support staff, food ser-
vice, custodians, admin-
istrators and Board of
Education is completely
committed to making
this the best educational
experience in the state of
Wisconsin for all of our
nearly 5400 students.
Early in the morn-
ing of June 17, an EF-3
tornado ripped through
a portion of the Town of
Verona and City of Verona
severely damaging many
homes and Country View
Elementary School. At the
time of this writing (3rd week in July) repairs to the building are
still very much underway, but it is expected that we will be open
to students in time for the first day of school on September 2nd.
My thanks to all the community members who reached out to
help us get the building back on line. It is yet another example
of our community rallying around our students to provide them
with the best educational experience and opportunity possible.
As a community, we have so much to be proud of regarding our
schools and our students. As the chief cheerleader for the district,
it is always my honor and privilege to point out some of our accom-
plishments. Consider a few of the following facts about our district.
The Board of Education, in April of 2013, formally endorsed
an ambitious endeavor to provide a personalized learning plan
for every student, K -12 by the 2016 2017 school year. This plan
includes the following outcomes:
Every student in VASD has a personalized learning
plan that provides a path to discovery and achievement
and that plan is reviewed and changed at least annually
based on the students needs.
Every students parent, guardian or advocate partici-
pates directly in the design, implementation, and out-
comes of that students personalized learning plans.
Every student meets or exceeds the goals of his or her
personalized learning plan every school year
Every VAHS student graduates.
Every VAHS graduate achieves their choice of college
and career path, as detailed in their personalized learn-
ing plan
Some other notable facts about our school district include:
The percentage of students in grades 3 through 8 and 10
performing at proficient or advanced levels on the Wisconsin
Knowledge and Concepts Examination (WKCE) exceeds, in
many cases significantly, the state proficiency levels.
ACT scores have been higher than the state average since
at least 1992 and have been significantly higher than the state
average since the 1997 school year. This fact is made even more
remarkable considering that nearly 75% of our seniors take the
ACT each year.
Satisfaction surveys distributed annually to staff, students
and parents routinely yield very favorable results indicating a
very high degree of satisfaction with the school district.
Our students scores on the Measures of Academic Progress
(MAP) exam meet or in most cases exceed the national norms at
every grade level the test is administered.
Nearly 60% of the graduating class of 2014 reported plans
to attend a four year college or university and 30% plan to attend
a technical / 2-year college.
We offer a Pre Kindergarten program utilizing our local
high quality preschool providers.
We have an excellent financial position with an Aa2 with a
positive outlook Moodys rating.
We routinely have 300-400 requests for open enrollment
into the district, three to four times the amount requesting to
open enroll out of the district.
We have great community support as measured by respons-
es to surveys, volunteerism and support for past referenda.
We have four charter schools in the district, which afford
families choices in learning style and curriculum options for
their children.
Despite our history and record of excellence, there are cer-
tainly areas where we are challenged and struggle. Some of the
most daunting challenges we face include:
The achievement and opportunity gap: Not all our chil-
dren are achieving at high levels. The achievement gap, which
plagues nearly the entire country, is certainly present in our dis-
trict as well. Many of our English Language Learners, students
with disabilities, students of color and low-income students dont
achieve at the same level on standardized measures as do our
white students who are not in the free/reduced lunch program.
Furthermore, those same children are not equally represented in
extracurricular activities, awards or scholarships.
Disproportionality: Verona is the only school district in
the state that for the last eight years in a row has been identified
as being significantly disproportionate in terms of the percent-
age of African American students in certain special education
classifications.
In Verona, we believe that educating all children, means
educating ALL children. We will work tirelessly to provide each
child with a rigorous and relevant curriculum. Further, all our
staff from teachers to support staff and administration are com-
mitted to developing meaningful relationships with the children
in our schools. We believe relationships and relevance make
rigor possible.
We invite you to check us out on-line. On our website, www.
verona.12.wi.us we have a lot of information about our schools.
We invite you to look at the district achievement data, which
youll find our home page. Also, we encourage you to check out
the site annual reports for specific information about each of
our school sites. Lastly, know that there is a standing invitation
to all members of our school district to call or email me or any
district staff with questions you may have regarding your child
or about any school district operation. My contact information
can be found below.
The Verona Area School District is an outstanding school
district because of the commitment, hard work and sacrifice of
the entire staff and community. We are absolutely committed to
give each and every child that passes through our schoolhouse
doors our best. Working together with families and the commu-
nity, we can make this the best school district in Wisconsin. We
need each of you to contribute to that success. Please join us in
this endeavor.
Best wishes for an exciting and rewarding school year. Thank
you continuing to make education the most important endeavor
in your childs life.
Most Sincerely,
Dean Gorrell, Superintendent

Stoner Prairie Prepares For 2014-2015 School Year
When Stoner Prairie Elementary School opens on Tuesday,
September 2, we expect to welcome approximately 415 students.
School Hours
School hours are 9:25-2:35 on
Mondays and 7:30-2:35 Tuesday
through Friday.
First Day of School
All students may report to the
classroom to which they have been
assigned at 9:10 AM on Monday
and at 7:30 A.M. on Tuesday
through Friday. Arrival before 7:30
A.M. is discouraged due to lack of
supervision and out of respect for
staff planning time. Class lists
identifying teachers and their students will be notified via email
Kindergarten Information
A first day introduction for Stoner Prairie kindergarten stu-
dents will take place on Tuesday, September 2. The kindergarten
students and their parents/guardians will be able to meet the
kindergarten teachers and bring in their supplies. The first day
of regular classes for kindergarten students will be Wednesday,
September 3. A letter detailing the introduction time for
Tuesday, September 2 was mailed at the beginning of August
to all families whose child has been registered for kindergarten.
Families are invited to call the Stoner Prairie office at 845-4205
or 845-4206 with questions or to register if still necessary.
Student Absence
Attendance for students at the elementary schools is carefully
monitored. Roll call is taken immediately each morning. Parents
are required to call before 8:00 a.m. to inform the school if their
child is going to be absent or tardy. Messages about absences
may be left at any time at 845-4203. This call provides assur-
ance that all children are safe either at home or at school. If we
do not receive a call reporting an absence, the school secretary
will attempt to call the parent or guardian to confirm the childs
whereabouts. If no contact is made with parents, the absence will
be recorded as unexcused.

Verona Area School District Pre-K Program
The Verona Area Pre-K program is a community based
preschool program for four-year-old children residing within
the Verona Area School District. Children must be four years
old by September 1. Children are enrolled in the Verona Area
School Districts Pre-K program but taught in a local commu-
nity preschool/childcare location. The following preschools are
participating:
Here We Grow Learning Center
La Petite Academy (Verona and Fitchburg)
Little Blessings Preschool
Little Pilgrims Preschool
Once Upon a Time Child Care
Pooh Bear Child Care & Preschool
Red Arrow Head Start
Resurrection Lutheran Preschool
St. James Preschool
The Caring Center and Verona Montessori House
Verona Tot Center
YMCA Stoner Prairie
Classes run Tuesday through Friday from approximately
7:50-11:00 a.m. An additional offering from 11:50 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
may be offered if enrollment increases. The school year runs the
same as the Verona Area School District Calendar.
This is a tuition-free program. A nominal supply/snack fee
may be charged. Some locations offer optional extended child-
care. Parents are responsible for childcare costs beyond the
Pre-K program.
Children will participate in play
activities that provide rich learn-
ing experiences. A focus on learning
through play allows children to gain
skills in all areas including: social-
emotional, cognitive, creative expres-
sion, early literacy and self-help.
Teachers will use materials and cur-
riculum that enhance those experi-
ences through a hands-on approach.
If you would like more information
or would like to register your child,
please call Jennifer Skibba, Early
Learning Coordinator, at 608-712-9697.

Notice for Directory Information
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA),
a Federal law, requires that the Verona Area School District,
with certain exceptions, obtain your written consent prior
to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from
your childs education records. However, the Verona Area
School District may disclose appropriately designated direc-
tory information without written consent, unless you have
advised our District to the contrary in accordance with
District procedures. The primary purpose of directory infor-
mation is to allow the Verona Area School District to include
this type of information from your childs education records in
certain school publications. Examples include:
A playbill, showing your students role in a drama pro-
duction;
The annual yearbook;
Honor roll or other recognition lists;
Graduation programs; and
Sports activity sheets, such as for wrestling, showing
weight and height of team members.
Directory information, which is information that is gen-
erally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if
released, can also be disclosed to outside organizations with-
out a parents prior written consent. Outside organizations
include, but are not limited to, companies that manufacture
class rings or publish yearbooks.
The Verona Area School District has designated the follow-
ing information as directory information:
Students name
Participation in officially recognized activities and sports
Address
Telephone listing
Weight and height of members of athletic teams
Electronic mail address
Photograph
Degrees, honors, and awards received
Date and place of birth
Major field of study
Dates of attendance
Grade level
The most recent educational agency or institution
attended
If you do not want the Verona Area School District to
disclose directory information from your childs education
records without your prior written consent, you must notify
the District in writing within 30 days of this published notice
or within 14 days of enrollment. Request forms to Withhold
Directory Data are available at the District Office or at any
of the school offices. Forms should be returned to the District
Office. Any previous notices on file with the Verona
Area School District withholding the disclosure of
directory information are now void.
In addition, two federal laws require local educational
agencies (LEAs) receiving assistance under the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to provide
military recruiters, upon request, with three directory infor-
mation categories names, addresses and telephone listings
unless parents have advised the LEA that they do not want
their students information disclosed without their prior writ-
ten consent.
If you do not want the Verona Area School District to
disclose directory information from your childs education
records without your prior written consent to military recruit-
ers or Institutions of Higher Education, you must notify the
District in writing within 30 days of this published notice
or within 14 days of enrollment. Request forms to Withhold
Directory Data from Military Recruiters or Institutions of
Higher Education are available at the District Office or at any
of the school offices. Forms should be returned to the District
Office. Any previous notices on file with the Verona
Area School District withholding the disclosure of
directory information are now void.

Homeless Children
The McKinney-Vento Act defines homeless children and youth (twenty-one years of age and
younger) as:
Children and youth who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence, and includes
children and youth who are:
sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar
reason (sometimes referred to as double-up);
living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to lack of alternative ade-
quate accommodations;
living emergency or transitional shelters;
abandoned in hospitals; or
awaiting foster care placement.
Children and youth who have a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place
not designated for, or ordinarily used as, a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.
Children and youth who are living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, sub-
standard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings.
Migratory children who qualify as homeless because they are living in circumstances
described above.
If you are personally aware of or are acquainted with any children who may qualify according
to the above criteria, the Verona Area School District provides the following assurances to parents
of homeless children:

Moving To The Middle School Is A Giant Step For Some Children
For most 11 to 12-year-olds, the first days at middle school are
every bit as memorable (and scary) as those days half a lifetime
ago when they walked into kindergarten.
Acknowledging the confusion adolescence brings to young-
sters and parents, we offer the following advice for parents to
help children maneuver that giant step away from the security of
the elementary into the uncertainty of middle school.
Get to know the school. Visit the school within the first few
weeks. Meet the principal and teachers. Learn school policies.
Then, if your child comes home with a problem, youll know the
rules and the person to call.
Be ready to adjust to dramatic changes in your child.
Adolescent children seek independence, which often means chal-
lenging parental and school authority. Being acquainted with the
school staff may help parents weather some future storms.
Be prepared for a lot less information. That elementary
school child who told you all about school is almost gone. Along
with a childs move toward independence is a natural inclination
not to share information about school good or bad.
Keep monitoring schoolwork and grades. Be subtle, not
too inquisitive. Keep an eye out for stumbling blocks, particularly
in subjects new to your child like technology, algebra, foreign
language, and vocational education.
Watch for extreme swings in grades up and down. If a
childs grade record remains similar to that of elementary school,
okay. But if grades are abnormally low or high, its time to check
with the teacher. Unusually high grades may indicate incorrect
placement. Give children about six weeks to adjust, though,
before becoming too concerned.
Encourage extracurricular activities, but watch for
overload. Participating in sports and clubs is almost indispens-
able to the adolescents self-esteem, but academic performance
must dictate the number of activities a child can handle.
Please take time to review the Schools Code of
Conduct, Discipline and Student Dress code. Policies found
in your students handbook/planner that they will receive on
their first day of school.
Meet your childs new friends and their parents.
Welcome your childs widening circle of friends personally no
matter how difficult. Before a youngster visits a new friend, call,
introduce yourself to the family and confirm the plans. Prying?
Maybe, but research shows that children actually do appreciate
parents interest they just dont say so. In fact, their objections
tend to be quite dramatic. Hold your ground.
Attend school functions and sporting events. Keep up with
all of your childs activities, teammates, teachers, and principals. Dont
assume your relationship with school ends after elementary school.
Two-Way Immersion in VASD
Five and six-year-olds at Sugar Creek and Glacier Edge are
already beginning to prepare themselves to be competitive in the
global marketplace. Each day as they report to their Two-Way
Immersion classrooms, they will learn to communicate, read, and
write in Spanish and English as well as interact in a diverse society.
VASDs Two-Way Immersion (TWI) program is reaching more
and more students each year. The goal of the program is to prepare
students to become bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural while achiev-
ing high levels of success academically, linguistically, and socially.
TWI classrooms are open to students from all language back-
grounds and cultures and are additive in nature, meaning that
students learn in two languages from the moment in which they
enter the program until they complete it. Children in TWI class-
rooms spend 50 percent of their day learning academic content in
Spanish and 50 percent of their day learning in English.
Educational research supports the effectiveness of the Two-Way
Immersion model for all students. In addition to positive academic
outcomes, there are benefits of bilingualism that reach far beyond
the classroom. As reported in TIME magazine in July 2013, neuro-
logical studies show that bilingual brains function more efficiently
and flexibly with higher levels of reasoning. Bilingualism also
improves the ability to multitask, grasp ideas, and reconcile con-
flicts while delaying the onset of dementia and Alzheimers disease.
The instructional approach in Two-Way Immersion class-
rooms is enrichment education for all students. Students learn
rigorous academic content in two languages while becoming
cross-culturally competent. The benefits for all of the VASD chil-
dren in the TWI program are tremendous. For more information
about the TWI program, please contact Laurie Burgos, Director
of Bilingual Programs & Instructional Equity, at (608) 845-4312.

Notice of Nondiscrimination Policy
Student Nondiscrimination
It is the policy of the Verona Area School District that no person may be denied admission to
any public school in this district or be denied participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be dis-
criminated against in any curricular, extracurricular, pupil services, recreational or other program
or activity because of the persons sex, race, religion, national origin, ancestry, creed, pregnancy,
marital or parental status, sexual orientation or physical, mental, emotional or learning disability
as required by s.118.13, Wis. Stats.
This policy also prohibits discrimination as defined by Title IX of the Educational Amendments
of 1972 (sex), Title VI of Civil Rights Act of 1964 (race, color, and national origin), Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (disability), McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (homelessness).
All vocational education programs follow the districts policies of nondiscrimination. In addition,
arrangements can be made to ensure that the lack of English language skills is not a barrier to

tion has failed to follow the law and rules of s.118.13, Wis. Stats., Title VI, Title IX, Section 504
of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 or in some way discriminates against pupils on the basis of sex,
race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, creed, pregnancy, marital or parental status, sexual
orientation or physical, mental, or emotional or learning disability, he/she may bring or send a
complaint to the Administration Office at the following address: 700 N. Main Street, Verona,
Wisconsin 53593.

Parental Rights to Seek Information
Regarding Staff Qualifications
Federal law requires schools to share information with parents regarding the qualifications
of teachers employed by the school district. Among the questions that parents may ask are:
Is my childs teacher licensed to teach the grades or subjects assigned?
Has the state waived any requirements for my childs teacher?
What was the college major of my childs teacher?
What degrees does my childs teacher hold?
Are there instructional aides working with my child? If so, what are their qualifications?
All teachers employed by the Verona Area School District (VASD) have at least a bachelors
degree, and approximately 75 percent have a Masters degree or equivalent. In addition, all of
the teachers are DPI licensed for their assignment. If parents or others want to review the state
qualification for a teacher, such information can found on the DPI website at www.dpi.state.
wi.us/dpi/dlsis/tel/lisearch.html.
In addition, all instructional aides are employed by VASD are considered qualified for their
work assignments.
If parents or others would like more information about the qualifications of school staff,
please feel free to call Jason Olson, Director of Human Resources, at 845-4335.

Changes to the Wisconsin Student Assessment System for 2014-15
Over the course of the 2014-15 school year, Wisconsin will
begin rolling out a new assessment system. Below is a summary
of the assessments that will be required as part of the Wisconsin
Student Assessment System:
Smarter-Balanced Assessments: Grades 3-8
The Smarter-Balanced Assessment System has been designed to
assess the Common Core State Standards in English/Language Arts
and Math. These new assessments will have the following features:
Students will take the Smarter-Balanced Assessments in
Reading and Math on-line instead of in a paper/pencil format like
the previous Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Exam (WKCE).
The Smarter-Balanced Assessments in English/Language
Arts and Math will be administered during the spring. Districts
will locally determine the exact testing dates for the Smarter
Balanced Assessments within the 12 week assessment window
(March 30-May 22).
The Smarter-Balance Assessments in English/Language
Arts and Math will be taken on-line and are computer adaptive.
Computer adaptive tests adapt to the individual student. If the
student answers the question incorrectly, the next item will be
easier. If the student answers an item correctly, the next item
will be more difficult. The advantage of computer adaptive test-
ing is that it provides a much more accurate picture of what the
students knows.
For more information about the Smarter Balanced
Assessments, please visit this website: www.smarterbalanced.org
Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Exam
(WKCE): Grades 4, 8, and 10
The Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Exam (WKCE) will
still be administered in grades 4, 8, and 10 in the areas of Science
and Social Studies.
The WKCE will continue to be administered during the fall,
and districts will locally determine the exact dates within the 4
week assessment window (October 27 through November 7).
The WKCE is a paper and pencil assessment.
For more information about the Wisconsin Knowledge and
Concepts Exam, please visit this website: http://oea.dpi.wi.gov/
oea_wkce_home
Aspire/ACT/WorkKeys: High School
Aspire
Aspire is a new assessment based on ACTs College and
Career Readiness Standards. Aspire will assess students in the
areas of writing, reading, English, science, and math.
Aspire will replace the EXPLORE and PLAN assessments
which the district has given in the past.
Students in grade 9 will take Aspire in the fall and in the
spring. Students in grade 10 will take Aspire in the spring only.
Districts will locally determine the exact dates of the assessment
within a 4 week assessment window: Fall (grade 9 students only)
October 13-November 7 and spring (grade 9 and 10 students)
April 27 through May 22.
Aspire will be administered on-line.
ACT
The ACT is based on the ACTs College and Career
Readiness Standards and will assess students in the areas of
writing, reading, English, science, and math.
The ACT will be administered to all grade 11 students on
March 3 (this is the date established by the Department of Public
Instruction and cannot be adjusted by local districts).
The ACT is a paper and pencil assessment
WorkKeys
WorkKeys is part of the ACT suite of assessments and will
assess students in the areas of applied mathematics, locating
information, and reading for information.
WorkKeys will be administered to all grade 11 students on
March 4 (this is the date established by the Department of Public
Instruction and cannot be adjusted by local districts).
WorkKeys is a paper and pencil assessment.
For more information on Aspire/ACT/WorkKeys please visit
this website: http://www.act.org/aap/wisconsin/aspire.html
Please contact Ann Franke, Director of Curriculum and
Instruction, at 608-845-4311 or frankea@verona.k12.wi.us if you

That First Day Of School Is An Important Event
The first day of school is a milestone in your childs life. Your understanding at this turning
point is important to the childs future attitude toward school and to his or her healthy growth
and development.
Experts in child mental health and development emphasize that you, the parent, can play an
important role in starting your child off with the self-confidence needed throughout life. This self-
confidence is built upon good feelings about parents, about authority figures at school, about other
children, and about himself or herself as a worthwhile human being.
Here are some things for you to keep in mind:
Recognize that the day your child first goes off to school is an important event.
Realizing this can help you to make it a positive experience. It is the first major separation from
the secure and familiar world of home and family, and it marks entrance into a new universe of
friendships, learning and adventure a world that parents can never again entirely share. Your
greatest gift to your child at this time is your loving support and understanding.
Prepare your child for the new school experience by explaining what to expect and answer-
ing all questions honestly. Children need to know the number of days and length of time they will be
in school as well as how to get there and back. A child may be anxious, and needs to know etails in order
to handle the stress involved. Working mothers and fathers should make certain that the child knows the
arrangements for before and after school care.
Convey a positive attitude about school. If the parents show enthusiasm for what the
school experience can mean, the child is more likely to look forward to it.
Make transportation plans clear to the child. If he or she is to walk to school, walk the
route together a few times before and after school starts. If there are other children from your
neighborhood who are of the same age, see if they can walk together. If a child goes to school by
bus, help the child identify the vehicle. Encourage older children to watch over younger ones. Once
the bus arrives, be direct: say goodbye and allow the child to board alone. If the child cries, try not
to overreact. In most cases the tears will soon disappear.
Create a normal routine atmosphere at home the first few days of school. Do not deny or
avoid the uniqueness of the situation, but do take an active interest in what your child tells you about
school when he or she comes home. Be a good listener, allowing time to talk about school and people there.
Give your child free playtime at home. Now that your child spends more time in a struc-
tured environment, you should allow more free time at home for play.
Get to know your childs teacher. Get involved with the parent-teacher organization, vol-
unteer your services in school, or check out ways you can help improve school conditions if you are
unhappy with them.
Praise your child for the good things he/she has done. Remember there is more to be
gained for accentuating the positive. A pat on the back for the right answer can go a long way. Too
often we tend to focus on poor performance and behavior.
Treat going to school as part of the normal course of events, something that is
expected. If your child appears nervous about going to school, discuss his or her concern. Show
understanding and offer encouragement. A calm, matter-of-fact, positive attitude is your goal.
Dont argue the issue of school attendance. It is required by law.
Plan your day so that you can spend time with your child. Be available when your child
needs you. Be sure there is time to talk about school and the happenings of each day.
Let your child settle the quarrels or difficulties that may arise with school friends.
Usually, unless children are harming each other physically, it is wise not to rush to the rescue. Try
to let them work out their own differences.
Help your child cope with occasional frustrations and disappointments at school.
Learning to cope with all kinds of experiences is important to development and helps prepare for
the stresses of life.
Avoid comparing this childs school experiences with how brothers and sisters or
neighbors did when they began school. Such comparisons can be harmful to a childs self-
image. Each of us is different, and we meet lifes turning points and experiences in our own way.
Think of yourself as supporting and helping your childrens development but not
protecting them from a world about which they must learn.
In rare instances, when a child does not accept school after several days, or when fearfulness
and feelings of distress appear and persist, the child may have a problem. At this point, you should
seek advice from the school guidance counselor, the teacher, the family physician, school psycholo-
gist, community mental health center staff, or others who may offer advice.

Federal Laws Regarding Military Recruitment of High School Students
Q. What does the law say about military recruitment of high
school students?
A. Congress has passed two major pieces of legislation that
generally require school districts receiving assistance under the
Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to give
military recruiters the same access to secondary school students
as they provide to postsecondary institutions or to prospective
employers. School districts are also generally required to provide
students names, addresses, and telephone listings to military
recruiters, when requested.
Q. Where are these statutory requirements found?
A. These requirements are contained in 9528 of the ESEA
(20 U.S.C. 7908), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act
of 2001 (P.L. no. 107-110), the education bill Congress recently
passed.
Q. What are the requirements of 9528 of the ESEA?
A. Each school district that receives funds under the ESEA
must comply with a request by a military recruiter or an
institution of higher education for secondary students names,
addresses, and telephone numbers, unless a parent has opted
out of providing such information. (See below for additional
information.)
Section 9528 also requires school districts that receive funds
under the ESEA to provide military recruiters the same access
to secondary school students as they generally provide to post-
secondary institutions or prospective employers. For example,
if the school has a policy of allowing postsecondary institutions
or prospective employers to come on school property to provide
information to students about educational or professional oppor-
tunities, it must afford the same access to military recruiters.
Q. Under 9528 of the ESEA, what notification must school
districts provide to parents before disclosing names, addresses,
and telephone numbers of secondary students to military recruit-
ers and officials of institutions of higher education?
A. Under FERPA, a school district must provide notice to
parents of the types of student information that it releases
publicly. This type of student information, commonly referred
to as directory information, includes such items as names,
addresses, and telephone numbers and is information generally
not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed.
The notice must include an explanation of a parents right to
request that the information not be disclosed without prior writ-
ten consent. Additionally, 9528 requires that parents be noti-
fied that the school routinely discloses names, addresses, and
telephone numbers to military recruiters upon request, subject
to a parents request not to disclose such information without
written consent. A single notice provided through a mailing, a
student handbook, or other method that is reasonably calculated
to inform parents of the above information is sufficient to satisfy
the parental notification requirements of both FERPA and
9528. The notification must advise the parent of how to opt out
of the public, nonconsensual disclosure of directory information
and the method and timeline within which to do so.
Q. If a school district has not provided notice relating
to directory information, may it release a students name,
address, and telephone number when requested by a military
recruiter?
A. As noted above, a school district may provide a single
notice regarding both directory information and information
disclosed to military recruiters. If a school district does not dis-
close directory information under FERPA, then it must still
provide military recruiters access to secondary students names,
addresses and telephone listings. In addition, the school district
must notify parents that they may opt out of this disclosure. In
other words, a school district that does not disclose directory
information must nonetheless provide a notice that it discloses
information to military recruiters. The notice must be reasonably
calculated to inform parents.
Q. If a parent opts out of the public, nonconsensual disclosure
of directory information (or any subset of such information),
must the three data elements be released to military recruiters
upon their request?
A. If a parent opts out of providing director information to
third parties, the opt-out relating to name, address, or telephone
number applies to requests from military recruiters as well. For
example, if the opt-out states that telephone numbers will not be
disclosed to the public, school may not disclose telephone num-
bers to military recruiters.
Q. If the school does not list one or more of the three data ele-
ments (e.g., telephone number) among its directory information,
may it release that information to military recruiters?
A. If a school does not designate one or ore of the three items
as directory information under FERPA, it still must provide
all three items to military recruiters upon request. Also, in that
case, the school would have to send a separate notice to parents
about the missing directory information item(s), noting an
opportunity to opt out of disclosure of the information to military
recruiters. An easier method, of course, would be for the school
to designate all three items name, address, and telephone list-
ing as directory information.
Q. How are the requirements under 9528 of the ESEA
enforced?
A. Schools that do not comply with 9528 of the ESEA could
jeopardize their receipt of ESEA funds.
Q. How does 544 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2002 amend the former requirements under 10
U.S.C. 503?
A. Section 544 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2002 revises Title 10, Section 503 in several
important ways. First, the recruiting provisions now apply only
to school districts (including private secondary schools) that
receive funds under the ESEA. Second, these provisions now
require access by military recruiters to students, under certain
conditions, and to secondary school students names, addresses,
and telephone listings. Third, as discussed earlier, they require
school districts to notify parents of their right to opt out of the
disclosure of their childrens names, addresses, and telephone
numbers and to comply with any such requests from the parents
or the students.
Q. How are these requirements under 10 U.S.C. 503
enforced?
A. In addition to the potential for loss of funds under ESEA
noted above for failure to comply with 9528 of the ESEA, a
school district that denies a military recruiter access to the
requested information on students after July 1, 2002, will be
subject to specific interventions under 10 U.S.C. 503. In this
regard, the law requires that a senior military officer (e.g.,
Colonel or Navy Captain) visit the school district within 120
days. If the access problem is not resolved with the school dis-
trict, the Department of Defense must notify the Sate Governor
within 60 days. Problems still unresolved after one year are
reported to Congress if the Secretary of Defense determines that
the school district denies recruiting access to at least two of the
armed forces (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, etc.). The expectation
is that public officials will work with the school district to resolve
the problem.
Additionally, the Department of Defense has developed a
national high school data base to document recruiter access.
Presently, 95 percent of the nations 22,000 secondary schools
provide a degree of access to military recruiters that is consistent
with current law.
Q. Are private schools subject to the military recruiter
requirements?
A. Private secondary schools that receive funds under the
ESEA are subject to 10 U.S.C. 503. However, private schools
that maintain a religious objection to service in the Armed
Forces that is verifiable through the corporate or other organiza-
tional documents or materials of that school are not required to
comply with this law.
Q. Where can I get more information on the requirements of
10 U.S.C. 503?
A. The Office of the Secretary of Defense may be contacted for
copies of the statute, or questions relating to it. Please contact
the Accession Policy Directorate as follows:
Director, Accession Policy
400 Defense Pentagon
Washington, DC 20301-4000
Telephone: (703) 695-5529
Q. Where can I get more information on the requirements of
9528 of the ESEA?
A. The Family Policy Compliance Office (FPCO) in the
Department of Education administers FERPA as well as 9528
of the ESEA, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of
2001. School officials with questions on this guidance, or FERPA,
may contact the FPCO at FERPA@ED.Gov or write to the FPCO
as follows:

The Coaches at SBR take a scientific approach to coaching and training for swimming. We
believe in providing knowledge, motivation, confidence and support for athletes who want to
improve his/her athletic abilities. Swimming is much like golf, its all about proper technique and
efficiency to complete the skill well and injury free.
We want to encourage any/all levels to join us. Trust us, at any level, you will get the workout
and attention you need. We will be on deck working with each of you individually as you complete
a swim workout to help you reach your potential. You will learn the basics of swimming, how to
improve your skills and become a solid, powerful and efficient swimmer.
This will be a great class for you if you have only spent 10 hours in the pool, or swim
10 hours per week swimming. The goal is for each swimmer to get the most out any time
spent in the pool. Confidence is built with having proper attention from a coach, and
workouts to help you reach new levels.

Verona Area School District Notice Of Child Find
The school district must locate, identify, and evaluate all
resident children with disabilities, including children with dis-
abilities attending private schools that are located in the District
boundaries, regardless of the severity of their disabilities. The
school district has a special education screening program to locate and
screen all children with suspected disabilities who are residents of the
district and who have not graduated from high school. Upon request the
school district will screen any resident child who has not graduated high
school to determine whether a special education referral is appropriate.
A request may be made by contacting Erin Schettler, Director of Student
Services, Verona Area School District, at (608)845-4314, email to Erin.
Schettler@verona.k12.wi.us or by writing her at 700 N. Main Street,
Verona WI 53593.
Annually, the Verona Area School District distributes and
collects census information including whether or not a family
has concerns about their child/children. These concerns are
then followed-up through a District screening conducted by
staff knowledgeable of disability areas. There are also several
development screening days scheduled throughout the school year.
These will be posted throughout the school district and at other set-
tings as appropriate.
A physician, nurse, psychologist, social worker or admin-
istrator of a social agency who reasonably believes a child
brought to him or her for services is a child with a disability has
a legal duty to report the child to the school district in which
the child resides. Before referring the child, the person making the
referral must inform the childs parent that the referral will be made.
The referral must be in writing and include the reason why the person
believes the child is a child with a disability. Others who reasonably
believe a child is a child with a disability may also refer the child to the
school district in which the child resides. A referral of a child residing
in the Verona Area School District may be sent to Erin Schettler at the
school district address above.
The school district maintains pupil records, including
information from screening and special education refer-
ral according to state and federal requirements. All records
directly related to a student and maintained by the school district are
pupil records. They include records maintained in any way including,
but not limited to, computer storage media, video and audiotape,
film, microfilm, and microfiche. Records maintained for personal use
by a teacher and not available to others and records available only
to persons involved in the psychological treatment of a child are not
pupil records.
The school district maintains several classes of pupil records.
Progress records include grades, courses the child has taken,
the childs attendance record, immunization records, required lead
screening records, and records of school extra-curricular activities.
Progress records must be maintained for at least five years after the
child ceases to be enrolled.
Behavioral records include such records as psychological tests,
personality evaluations, records of conversations, written statements
relating specifically to the pupils behavior, tests relating specifically
to achievement or measurement of ability, physical health records
other than immunization and lead screening records, law enforce-
ment officers records, and other pupil records that are not progress
records. Law enforcement officers records are maintained separately
from other pupil records. Behavioral records may be maintained for
no longer than one year after the child graduates or otherwise ceases
to be enrolled, unless the parent specifies in writing that the records
may be maintained for a longer period of time. The school district
informs parents when pupil records are no longer needed to provide
special education. At the request of the childs parents, the school
district destroys the information that is no longer needed.
Directory data includes the students name, address, tele-
phone listing, date and place of birth, major field of study, participa-
tion in officially recognized activities and sports, weight and height
of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, photographs,
degrees and awards received, and the name of the school most
recently previously attended by the student. Refer to the article on
District Directory for more information.
Pupil physical health records include basic health information
about a pupil, including the pupils immunization records, an emergency
medical card, a log of first aid and medicine administered to the pupil,
an athletic permit card, a record concerning the pupils ability to par-
ticipate in an education program, any required lead screening records,
the results of any routine screening test, such as for hearing, vision or
scoliosis, and any follow-up to the test, and any other basic health infor-
mation, as determined by the state superintendent. Any pupil record
relating to a pupils physical health that is not a pupil physical health
record is treated as a patient health care record under sections 146.81 to
146.84, Wisconsin Statutes. Any pupil record concerning HIV testing is
treated as provided under section 252.15, Wisconsin Statutes.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA),
the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and
section 118.125, Wisconsin Statutes, afford parents and stu-
dents over 18 years of age (eligible students) the following
rights with respect to education records:
The right to inspect and review the students education
records within 45 days of receipt of the request. Parents or eli-
gible students should submit to the school principal a written request
that identifies the records(s) they wish to inspect. The principal will
make arrangements for access and notify the parent or eligible student
of the time and place where the records may be inspected. The school
district will comply with the request without unnecessary delay and
before any meeting about an individualized education program, or
any due process hearing, and in no case more than 45 days after the
request has been made. If any record includes information on more
than one child, the parents of those children have the right to inspect
and review only the information about their child or to be informed of
that specific information. Upon request, the school district will give a
parent or eligible student a copy of the progress records and a copy of
the behavioral records. Upon request, the school district will give the
parent or eligible student a list of the types and locations of educa-
tion records collected, maintained, or used by the district for special
education. The school district will respond to reasonable requests for
explanations and interpretations of the records. A representative of
the parent may inspect and review the records.
The right to request the amendment of the students edu-
cation records that the parent or eligible student believes is
inaccurate or misleading. Parents or eligible students may ask the
Verona Area School District to amend a record that they believe is inac-
curate or misleading. They should write the school principal, clearly
identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is
inaccurate or misleading. If the district decides not to amend the record,
the district will notify the parent or eligible student of the decision and
the right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional
information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the
parent or eligible student when notified of the right to a hearing.
The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifi-
able information in the students education records, except
to the extent that federal and state law authorizes disclosure
without consent. The exceptions are stated in 34 CFR 99.31, Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act regulations; Sec. 9528, PL107-110,
No Child Left Behind Act of 2001; and section 118.125(2)(a) to (m) and
sub. (2m), Wisconsin Statutes. One exception that permits disclosure
without consent is disclosures to school officials with legitimate edu-
cational interests. A school official is a person employed by the district
as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member
(including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit person-
nel); a person serving on the school board; a person or company with
whom the district has contracted to perform a special task (such as
an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist); or a parent
or student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or
grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing
his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest
if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his
or her professional responsibility. Upon request, the district discloses
education records without consent to officials of another school district
in which a student seeks or intends to enroll. Also the district discloses
directory data without consent, unless the parent notifies the district
that it may not be released without prior parental consent.
The right to file a complaint with the U. S. Department of
Education concerning alleged failures by the District to comply with
the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office
that administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S.
Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, S.W., Washington,
DC 20202-4605
Many Ways to Get Involved in VASD
The Verona Area School District is com-
mitted to seeking input and ideas from parent
and community members. Your involvement is
needed for us to continue to provide a high qual-
ity school experience. The following statement
of belief is found in the Educational Plan of the
Verona Area School District,
We believe parents and community mem-
bers prefer schools that listen, respect, welcome
and respond to their ideas.
Listed below are regularly scheduled events
and several other ways that parents and com-
munity members to get involved with the
schools. We welcome you to attend these events
and participate in the schools where you can.
School Board Meetings - These are gen-
erally held at 7:00 p.m. on the first and third
Monday evening of each month in the Board
Room of the Administration Building, 700 N.
Main St. in Verona. These meetings follow a
posted agenda and include discussion of impor-
tant educational issues and events of the school
district. There is an audience portion at the
beginning of each meeting that is set aside for
residents to provide input to the school board. It
is the policy of the school board not to comment
on topics raised during the audience portion
as many of the topics raised are not posted on
the agenda for discussion. These meetings are
also televised locally on VCAT and FACT cable
access television.
Site Councils - These councils exist at
every school site in the district as an extension
of the governance of the district for the purpose
of improving student learning. Each site council
engages a representative group of the school
community to collaboratively listen, learn and
share diverse perspectives of the participants.
This group also makes decisions for the school
that reflects the opinions and expertise of all
those involved in the school. Each site council
meets regularly at a time that works best for the
group to conduct their business. These meeting
are open to anyone interested to attend. Contact
the school principal for a meeting schedule or to
express interest in joining a site council.
Parent Advisory Councils (PAC) -
Schools in the district also have a parent
advisory group that meets regularly to advise
and give feedback to the building principal.
This group is an important touchstone for the
building principal and is an opportunity for
parents to get to know more about school issues.
Contact the building principal for a meeting
schedule or to express interest in becoming a
member.
Talents and Passions Advisory
Committee (TAP) - The TAP Advisory
Committee advises the Coordinator of the TAP
(Gifted and Talented) program. The committee
meets approximately one time per month. If you
are interested in being considered for the com-
mittee please contact Director of Instruction,
Ann Franke, 608-845-4311.
PTA/PTO - These Parent-Teacher groups
meet regularly in the district at some of the
school sites. These groups typically support fun-
draising and enrichment opportunities for the
school, as well as coordinate adult volunteers,
staff appreciation events and communication
among parents within the school. Contact the
school office for the names of the PTA/PTO
officers.
Classroom Assistance - Parents are
always encouraged to contact their childs class-
room teacher(s) to see if there are ways to help
in the classroom or assist in other ways at the
school. This kind of interaction with students
can often be the most rewarding for the parent
and student. Parents and community members
are welcome to volunteer in the classroom by
reading to students or listening to students
read, chaperoning field trips, helping with
special projects, sharing an area of interest, or
simply by being another caring adult to sup-
port a child who needs some special attention.
Contact the building principal or teacher from
the school where you would like to volunteer in
the classroom.
Literacy Volunteers - The Verona Area
School District offers a program where car-
ing adults become literacy volunteers work
with students in grades K-3 who struggle
with their reading skills. Anyone interested
in helping a young student succeed in read-
ing is invited to participate as a volunteer. We
welcome any interested community members -
parents, retired residents, young adults, service
club members - to consider this opportunity.
Volunteers can spend as little as 30 minutes
per week. Those interested in volunteering will
be invited to participate in a short orientation
and training session to learn a few basics of
literacy instruction and the requirements of the
program. Early in the fall, volunteers are part-
nered with an elementary classroom teacher
and matched with a student (or two) from that
classroom.
Community volunteers are greatly appreci-
ated and make the program successful. For
community members this is an opportunity to
see how our schools operate and to better under-
stand how their tax dollars are being used. This
is a win-win situation for the volunteers as well
as the students involved. Volunteers become
very important to the young people. Volunteers
find the experience enriches their lives as well.
If you are interested, please contact Pat
Wehrley at 608-845-4887. Watch for Literacy
Volunteer training session dates to be
announced in the fall. Thank you for consid-
ering this community effort to support our
students.

Child Nutrition
Verona Area Child Nutrition welcomes you and your
family to another school year of healthy and tasty school
meals. An important component of every school day is
meal time when students take a break from their academic
schedules and consume important nutrients that will take
them through their school day. Emphasis today is placed on
healthy lifestyles; school meals are often brought into the
spotlight. We provide healthy meal choices while emphasiz-
ing fruits and vegetables, whole grains that meet the USDA
guidelines. Verona Area Schools has an offer rather than
a serve meal programs. Students are required to take only
three of the five food groups for lunch. Lunch includes a pro-
tein, vegetable, fruit, whole grain/bread and milk group. The USDA regulations do require that one
of the three food group choices on a students tray must be a serving of fruit or vegetable. Students
are required to take three out of the four food groups for breakfast. Breakfast is available at all of
the schools daily. Generally school breakfast will consist of milk, 100% juice and fruit, whole grain
and protein. Students who eat breakfast show an increased ability to learn and better academic per-
formance. High school students have access to ala carte items, which features individually priced
items such as sandwiches, fresh fruit, yogurt, string cheese, bagels and cream cheese, etc. Ala carte
items may not be purchased unless funds are available in their meal accounts.
The Child Nutrition Computerized Lunch System is a family based program. All family members
in the District draw from the same account so only one payment is needed per family. It is not a credit
system. Accounts need to have a positive balance. Monthly statements will be sent to you electronically
if your email is on file. Account balances are also available on line via the Verona Area School District
home page. You must have your family account number and pin number to access your balance. Meal
payments may be mailed to Child Nutrition Services, P.O. Box 930007, Verona WI 53593. The E-Funds
electronic payment system allows you the ability to make payments anytime through the Districts
web-site and the funds will be automatically withdrawn from your checking account or charged to your
credit card. A convenience fee will be charged for any transactions using Efunds. You may contact the
Child Nutrition Services Office at 845-4139 or email child.nutrition@verona.k12.wi.us.
The Verona Area School District has a policy for children unable to pay the full price of meals
served under the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. Each school office and the
District office have a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by interested parties. Meal applica-
tions are available on line and at each school office.
School breakfast and lunch prices will increase this year. Prices are listed below. Prices are
increasing in order to become compliant with the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs.
This increased cost will cover more whole grains, fruits and vegetables and local food available to
give students the most nutritious meals for their money.

For each additional
household member, add + 5,278 + 5,278 and +7,511 + 440 + 440 and + 626
Application forms are being sent to all homes with a notice to parents or guardians. To apply
for free or reduced price meals or free milk, households must fill out the application and return it
to the school (unless notified at the start of the school year that children are eligible through direct
certification). Additional copies are available at the office in each school. The information provided
on the application will be used for the purpose of determining eligibility and may be verified at any
time during the school year by agency or other program officials. Applications may be submitted at
any time during the year.
To obtain free or reduced price meals or free milk for children in a household where one or more
household members receive FoodShare, FDPIR, or Wisconsin Works (W-2) cash benefits, list the
household member and the FoodShare, FDPIR or W-2 case number, list the names of all school
children, sign the application, and return it to the school office.
For the school officials to determine eligibility for free or reduced price meals or free milk of
households not receiving FoodShare, FDPIR or W-2 cash benefits, the household must provide the
following information requested on the application: names of all household members and the adult
signing the application form must also list the last four digits of his or her Social Security Number
or mark the I do not have a Social Security Number box. Also, the income received by each house-
hold member must be provided by amount and source (wages, welfare, child support, etc.).
Under the provisions of the free and reduced price meal and free milk policy, The administrative
secretary will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent or guardian is dissatisfied
with the ruling of the official, he/she may wish to discuss the decision with the determining official
on an informal basis. If the parent/guardian wishes to make a formal appeal, he/she may make a
request either orally or in writing to: Superintendent, Verona Area School District, 700 North Main
St, Verona, WI 53593, 845-4300.
If a hearing is needed to appeal the decision, the policy contains an outline of the hearing pro-
cedure.
If a household member becomes unemployed or if the household size changes, the family should
contact the school. Such changes may make the household eligible for reduced price meals or free
meals or free milk if the household income falls at or below the levels shown above, and they may
reapply at that time.
Children formally placed in foster care are also eligible for free meal benefits. Foster children
may be certified as eligible without a household application. Households with foster children and
non-foster children may choose to include the foster child as a household member, as well as any
personal income available to the foster child, on the same application that includes their non-foster
children.
The information provided by the household on the application is confidential. Public Law 103-
448 limits the release of student free and reduced price school meal eligibility status to persons
directly connected with the administration and enforcement of federal or state educational pro-
grams. Consent of the parent/guardian is need for other purposes such as waiver of text book fees.

employees, and applicants for employment on the bases of race, color, national origin,
age, disability, sex, gender identity, religion, reprisal, and where applicable, political

individuals income is derived from any public assistance program, or protected genetic
information in employment or in any program or activity conducted or funded by the
Department. (Not all prohibited bases will apply to all programs and/or employment
activities.)
