Mr. Rogers Neighborhood is taking his talents to Northern Cal

To my Highlander Family:

I am writing this letter to express my sincerest gratitude as I say good bye. As many of you already know, I'll be leaving my position as Director of Discipline and Attendance to take a position as an Assistant Principal in Northern California. My last official day is December 15, however if you are reading this, I am probably already gone (I am not a fan of saying goodbye). Since 2005, I've called this place my second home and to be honest I am very happy with the experience that I gained from many of my past and present colleagues.

While I'm excited about the new opportunity, there is also a big part of me that is sad to be saying goodbye to some amazing co-workers and supervisors. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed our time working together and how much I value the love and friendship you've shown me over the past years. We've held grudges with one another, broke bread with each other and just as families do, we got passed all of the nonsense and put kids first.

To my students and parents

It has been an extreme honor to serve you!!!!You are the reason that I have showed up day in and day out with a smile on my face and love in my heart. I thank all of my past and present parents and students for allowing me to be a part of your journey. As we move forward in this thing called life, always remember that the love was and is real and we will always only be a communication call away.

To my Black Student Union Students (Past and Present)

BRAVO for all that we have accomplished together!!!!! Last year was a very sentimental year for me and I am overwhelmed with joy from the love that was given and received. As I have often told you, this is just part of our journey and wherever we go in life, we take our experiences with us so we will never be far apart.

I was going to write a longer letter, but this is actually harder than I thought, so instead of saying good bye, I will just say

See you soon

DR

Bringing You A "New York State of Mind"

By: Isabella Demetz

and Lauren Phillips,

The Plaid,  Staff Writers

    The Upland High Theatre Department succeeds in bringing the spirit and embodiment of New York onto our school's stage. They will be presenting "A New York State of Mind," a collection of four plays centered in none other than the lively city of New York. Unlike previous years, the production will feature a combination of stories, on which assistant director, Nia Bratton said,  "We wanted to do something a bit different. The author, Jason Odell Williams, gave us the play and my theatre teacher found three other plays that complemented that. So, we brought them all together and told the story like that."

     Another difference in the theatre production is that it will be presented in the style of a black-box theatre; a simple performance space, with props and backdrops. Concerning these interesting new changes, Nia said, "We always try to see what we didn't do last year and do new things." The plays featured are Ask Me My Name, by Hannah Horvath; Dog Park, by Jason Odell Williams; DMV Tyrant and Funeral Parlor, by Christopher Durang. The stories all interact with each other, to be told as one.

    This weekend's production has not come without the hard work of the cast and crew, who have dedicated an immense amount of their time and energy into bringing us the play.  Actor, Caden Stearns said, "Over the past few weeks we have put about twenty to thirty hours a week, just dedicated to this one production," however this sacrifice has not left the actors empty handed.

    When asked about what he looks forward to the most when preparing for a production, Caden said, "My favorite thing is the entire build up of going from not knowing your lines or anything and within a week, you know everything about the show. So, I guess it's the whole process of becoming my character through the time we put in." Ultimately, the actors strive to craft the perfect play through their mutual passion for acting and providing entertainment. Actor Melissa Gallup said, "We all want to stay here as long as we can and make these productions as good as they can be. It doesn't matter how long we stay here as long as everything is perfect and every single problem works out and the show goes on no matter what."

    New and humorously refreshing, the four-segment play is, in the words of assistant director Nia, "Not like any other play this theatre company has ever done. It's raw. It's witty. It's funny. It's just something you can enjoy. It's something that's real. A lot of the times, we have done shows that are imaginary, but this play shows real-life stuff.¨

    The new approach to Upland High School's theatricals is meant to affect the audience with sarcastic humor and all-too-relatable themes. However, it is the cast and crew that have made the play a worthwhile experience. Actor,Emily Nodal, said, "The actors are all passionate and the tech crew are so good and talented. Ms. Rich, our theater director, is really creative and her vision helps put together such an amazing show."

    "A New York State of Mind" will be performing October 26, 27, and 28 at 7 pm, with the cost for admission set at $10. The money from tickets will go to the funding of the theatre department, either to fund more shows or for doing community service. Whether you have seen every previous production or have never gone at all, the UHS Theatre department welcomes you to come out and experience a "New York State of Mind."

We are eager to share with you our plans for Grad Bash 2018!  We are excited to announce that we will be attending Universal Studios Hollywood Grad Bash this year!  As you know, we have previously attended Disneyland's GradNite.  Disneyland raised their prices (our cost would have been $195/ticket) and eliminated a few weeks worth of  dates leaving our date unavailable.   Our hope is that this new location and lower price (our cost will be under $100) will allow for so many more of our seniors to attend!   Please save this important info in your calendars:

The Black Student Union is back, are you ready?

People have been asking, what is the purpose of a Black Student Union? The BSU of Upland High School is an organization, whose primary concern and function is to assist students in their educational endeavors. Realizing that students have needs outside the educational institutions, the Black Student Union attempts to provide supportive services, which may or may not be directly educationally related, yet equally important to the educational experience. The Black Student Union also attempts to raise the level of consciousness and awareness of the student body as well as the schools administrators in the areas of black concerns. The Black Student Union also serves as a liaison between the community and the high school. Some of our goals include but not limited to: Providing scholarship money for seniors, assist in paying for senior applications and or SAT/ACT tests for any active member, pay for future events, hardships and so much more. The success of your BSU will depend completely on you. Are you ready?

Last year was a wonderful and bittersweet year! We had some huge successes along with a tragic loss of a dear friend. All in all our positive experiences outweighed the negative. We formed relationships that I am sure will live on for years to come. So come out and see what we're all about.

How do you join?

All you need to do is come to a meeting and get involved!!! Meetings are every Thursday from 3pm-3:45pm in room D135.

We are look for some great leaders to take us into this new school year, will it be you?

Anyone is welcome to join; however how active you are is up to you.

Hope to see you there!

SEASON STARTS OFF RIGHT WITH HOME GAME WIN

Written by: Anthony Lopez, The Plaid Sports Editor

Photography by: Kesler Graves, The Plaid Staff Photographer

Before Friday night, there were questions in the air surrounding the Upland Highlanders. Who would arise to team leader roles as last year's seniors departed? How would the Scots fair in Division 2? After Friday night's match between the Upland Highlanders and the La Habra Highlanders, we received promising answers to those questions. The Scots brought home a 35 to 7 victory in this season's opening game.

    Maybe it was the brand new field or the overwhelming amount of excitement from the crowd on Friday night, but whatever the case, the "real Highlanders" looked, played, and executed well in the season opening game. To put Upland's performance in an analogy, it was like watching an engine fire off on all eight cylinders. Among the night's best performers for Upland were quarterback, David Baldwin; receiver, Taj Davis, with 137 receiving yards; and Upland's latest phenom, linebacker, Justin Flowe, who had five solo tackles, one sack, and a total of nine tackles.

    Before people could even take their seats, the home team was already scoring. On the very first offensive play of the game,Baldwin connected with Davis, for an 80-yard touchdown, right alongside the Upland sidelines. Sophomore kicker, Archie Green came out on the field to kick the PAT and put the "Scots" up, seven to zero, just fifteen seconds into the game. With La Habra's offense onto the field now, all eyes would be on Upland's linebacker core, thanks in part to the recent ranking of #1 in the Class of 2020 for Justin Flowe, who already has nine full-ride offers from colleges across the country. The defensive star did not disappoint, as he and defensive back, Corey Thomas sacked the La Habra quarterback just a few plays into La Habra's first drive. After a few minor penalties from both teams seemingly knocking the rust off, Upland regained possession of the ball, late in the first and scored once more by virtue of a three-yard touchdown, run by Cameron Davis, which complemented a touchdown-worthy-drive up the field, by the Scots offense. After the PAT went inches to the left and hit the goal post, the score at the end of the first quarter was 13 to nothing, with the home team riding high and looking good.

  The momentum kept rolling, as Upland's offense made more quick work of the La Habra defense early in the second. An 18-yard touchdown, run by Cameron Davis, paired with a successful two-point conversion attempt by Kyle Jones, put the home team up 21 to zip, with a little over eleven minutes remaining in the second. The second quarter dragged on with a bit of a defensive battle between the two teams. Both sides were showing off decent defense for the majority of the second quarter. However, one of the more noticeable defensive highlights of the night came with about two minutes left before the half, when defensive back, Corey Thomas earned a solo sack in the backfield, on La Habra quarterback, Ryan Zanelli. The sack and few more defensive stops later, the Scots offense came back onto the field, with little time remaining before halftime. One of the more memorable offensive highlights happened during this drive with about a minute left before the half, when quarterback, David Baldwin was met with immense pressure from the blitzing La Habra defense. Baldwin managed to maneuver and scramble away enough from the defense to be able to connect with an open receiver and save Upland's drive. With three seconds left before halftime, Baldwin found an open Bryce Parker, for a touchdown pass.A successful PAT by kicker, Archie Green cemented Upland's lead by 28 points, as the teams headed into the locker rooms.

    After another strong halftime performance by the Upland regiment and color guard, it was time for the players to come back out to the field and for the fans to come back from the snack bars and into the stands. The majority of the third quarter was tame in football terms, except for what could have been a 100-yard, endzone-to-endzone, fumble-recovery-touchdown by Upland defensive back, Caleb Roberson, who also forced the fumble in the first place. However, there were two penalties on the play on both teams, which ultimately called the touchdown back. Although it didn't count, the play got the home crowd up on their feet and reenergized. The Upland offense would score for the fifth and final time of the night, with two minutes left to go in the third, by virtue of another touchdown and successful PAT. At the end of the third quarter, the Scots were up 35 to squat and La Habra was going to need a miracle, to keep their chances alive.

    Although La Habra finally managed to score, with eight minutes remaining in the fourth and the final quarter of the game, that was all the visiting team had and the Upland Highlanders proved victorious in this rare battle between the Highlanders and the Highlanders. The final score at the end of the night was 35 to zero, and Upland has now opened the season with a win that places them with a 17th-place ranking, in the state of California. When asked how the game went, Upland Coach Kim replied, "We won. We got a lot of improvements to make. It was a good team effort." Assistant coach, Darryl Thomas also stated, "There's always improvements. We can always get better. We need to get better. Our offensive line did an extremely good job, driving the ball down the field. Defense did well the whole night too."

    Arguably one of his best performances to date as Varsity quarterback for the Scots, David Baldwin completed 20 passes out of his 26 attempts, for 322 yards and two touchdowns. By virtue of being 20 for 26, Baldwin's completion rate was .769 and his overall quarterback rating was 143.4. Adding to his impressive stats from Friday night, Baldwin also never thrown an interception. Overall, the numbers put up by Baldwin on Friday night were respectable and earned recognition by Coach Thomas who also said, "David [Baldwin] looked much more poised tonight." Certainly, the quarterback's noticeable improvement from last season, helped ensure the Scots walked away with the win.

    The Highlanders will now prepare for battle against the Claremont Wolfpack, a team the Highlanders defeated 42 to 3 last season. The second game of the season will be this upcoming Friday night, at home, with kickoff at 7:00p.m.

Attention all UHS students that are interested in trying out for 2017-2018 boy's soccer teams.  We will be having our official tryouts on Monday August 28, Wednesday August 30 and Friday September 1, 2017 in the stadium.  All tryouts will begin at 6am and run until 7:20am.  If you attended the summer camp your physicals should be good and there is no need to get another physical but you will need to register on the UHS website (follow directions below). If you did not attend the 2017 summer camp you must register and get a sports physical done before trying out.  You will NOT be allowed to try out if you do not have a sports physical on file with our athletic training dept.

Everyone trying out will need to register regardless if you are a returnee or not.

 You can register for the tryouts at www.uplandhigh.org then click on the "activities page".  Next click on "athletics".  Finally, click on "athletic registration".  It will redirect you to our sports registration page where you can follow the "how to" video for the correct steps on registering.    If you are a returning player you may need to update your info on your account you created this summer and make sure it's for the 2017-2018 school year.

In order to get a physical you will need to do the following:  go to www.uplandhigh.org.  Then click on "activities".  Then select "athletics".  Scroll down to where it says "Physical Exam Form".  Then select "Physical Form" ... DO NOT select the "flyer".   Print out the form and take with you to your doctor.  All physical forms must then be returned to one of our athletic trainers prior to trying out.

If you are currently in another sport you will not be allowed to try out for soccer until your current sport season has ended.  You may want to come by and speak with me if this pertains to you.  Your sports physical for your current sport will be good enough for boys soccer tryouts but you will still need to register online.

Also, please be advised that there will be a mandatory after school meeting the first Wednesday of school (August 23, 2017).  Meeting will be at 1:45pm (right after 6h period) in room J210

JOSEPH ANDERSON NAMED GATORADE CALIFORNIA BOYS TRACK & FIELD PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Joseph Anderson
In its 32nd year of honoring the nation's best high school athletes, The Gatorade Company, today announced Joseph Anderson of Upland High School as its 2016-17 Gatorade California Boys Track & Field Athlete of the Year. Anderson is the first Gatorade California Boys Track & Field Athlete of the Year to be chosen from Upland High School.

The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the track, distinguishes Anderson as California's best high school boys track & field athlete. Now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Boys Track & Field Athlete of the Year award to be announced in June, Anderson joins an elite alumni association of state track & field award-winners, including Lolo Jones (1997-98, Roosevelt High School, Iowa), Allyson Felix (2002-03, Los Angeles Baptist High School, Calif.), Robert Griffin III (2006-07, Copperas Cove High School, Texas), Grant Fisher (2013-14 & 2014-15, Grand Blanc High School, Mich.) and Candace Hill (2014-15, Rockdale County High School, Ga.).

The 5-foot-10, 168-pound senior won the 110-meter high hurdles with a state-record time of 13.33 seconds and the 300-meter intermediate hurdles in 36.02 at the state championship meet this past season. Anderson's 110 hurdles time was ranked as the nation's No. 1 performance among prep competitors in 2017 at the time of his selection, while his winning effort in the 300 hurdles ranked No. 3 nationally. He also broke the tape in the 110 hurdles at this month's Brooks PR Invitational.

A devoted member of his church youth group, Anderson has volunteered locally on behalf of the Boys and Girls Clubs of America and youth track programs. "When you're around Joseph, you immediately know that there is something special about him, and that he is destined for greatness," said Upland High School coach Tarina Brown. "He's a natural leader and his genuine love for the sport is visible to all."

Engineering Students Compete in the Chevron Design Challenge

Chevron Design Challenge
Freshman Engineering students Tiffany Fierros, Lily Saunier, and Andre Zendejas were selected from their peers to represent Upland High School in the annual Project Lead the Way Chevron Design Challenge at Hawthorne High School. In one day, the students were given a "Design Challenge" in which they had to brainstorm, design, and present a commercial product. They also had to create a 3D model of the product using Autodesk Inventor software and prepare manufacturing drawings. All of this was done in the span of a few hours. The competition culminated with the students presenting their designs to a group of professional engineers in a style similar to the "Shark Tank" TV show. Fifteen teams representing high school engineering pathways were present. While Team Highlander did not place in the top three, they did an amazing job working together under pressure. Tiffany, Lili, and Andre are members of the Academy of Engineering and Architecture pathway here at Upland High School.

UHS Architecture News

Students in the ROP Architecture class took a trip to the Inland Empire Transportation Management Center located near the 210 and 15 freeways on Friday. The IETMC is the home of CALTRANS and Highway Patrol communications for portions of LA County, and all of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. It is also the place where 911 calls made from the freeways are answered. The purpose of the trip was to explore the building which is designed to withstand an 8.0 earthquake, and maintain state-wide communications using its ability to be self-sustaining with solar power and generators.

The entire building sits atop giant rubber grommets, which allow it to move laterally up to 26" while maintaining structural integrity during a large shaker.

CSF Hours Updated--MARCH 3RD

Attached is the spreadsheet of hours that I have received up to this point (shelter donations are included). If you have hours you have not turned in, you need to do so, to N248, BEFORE school only (and never during class time--you should be in class).

SENIORS, remember you need to have at least TWO of your twenty hours during your senior year if you want to walk at the front of graduation with your CSF Life or 100% membership. Having over 20 hours, but only ONE during senior year will not qualify you for the front of the class honors. Seniors, you have until March 24th to complete your hours for senior year. This deadline has been set since the beginning of the year. Good luck!

UHS ROP Architecture

Rop ArchMost people think you need to attend a college or university to take courses in architecture. In Upland, however, you need look no further than Upland High School. In fact, students in the architecture program at UHS have won architectural design awards on the national level. Just last year, John Acayan, a senior, won first place in the nation for his design and development of a Dollar Tree store. John was accepted as a freshman into Cal Poly Pomona's architecture program upon graduation from UHS. In 2010, senior Taylor Sealey won first place in the nation for her design of a children's library. Taylor is now working as a Planner for Southern California Edison Company. These are the only two students from California who have placed nationally in the last 20 years. Other notable UHS graduates are Jessica Gitney (2004) a Product Developer for Kohl's Department Stores, Valerie Schroeder (2004), Construction Office Operations Manager for REIG Construction, and Matias Cena (2006) who is now a Design Architect for Disney Imagineering.

The architecture classes taught by Mr. Brooks are courses offered in the Academy of Engineering and Architecture, one of the career pathways offered at Upland High School.

Black History is American History

As we celebrate Black History Month I felt that it would be appropriate to educate those who may not know why there is such a thing called Black History Month. Throughout the decades, schools, media and everywhere you turn America is shown to have its major contributions showcased through a narrow lens that unfortunately minimizes the contributions of African.

The story of Black History Month began in 1915, half a century after the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in the United States. That September, the Harvard-trained historian Carter G. Woodson and the prominent minister Jesse E. Moorland founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH), an organization dedicated to researching and promoting achievements by black Americans and other peoples of African descent. Known today as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH), the group sponsored a national Negro History week in 1926, choosing the second week of February to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. The event inspired schools and communities nationwide to organize local celebrations, establish history clubs and host performances and lectures.

All month long The Black Student Union will be highlighting contributions of African Americans to demonstrate just how much is overlooked and in my opinion taken for granted. As this country continues to move forward, I believe that it is crucial now more than ever that we acknowledge the contributions of ALL people and give the respect that is so richly deserved.

Saturday School Update

SATURDAY SCHOOL:

Saturday School is conducted almost every Saturday for the purpose of making up unexcused absences, ditching, tardies and for violating minor school infractions. This method is provided as an alternative to suspension. Limits may be imposed on the number of times a student is assigned. The class is conducted from 8:00–12:00. Students must report to the front of the library (unless otherwise indicated) before 8:00 a.m., or they may not be admitted. After meeting at the library, students are escorted to a classroom for the day or remain in the library (depending on space availability). Students who do not have any work with them to complete will utilize our APEX learning tutorial module. Apex is designed to assist students in strengthening their skills in subject areas such as Math, English, Science and History. There is a pre and post test to demonstrate that the student has mastered the subject area and also be proof of positive attendance. Disruptive students will be asked to leave and will not receive credit for attendance. Failure to show for an assigned Saturday School indicates the student has opted to receive a day of suspension, which may be assigned as an in-school suspension (ISS) or an at-home suspension. Students are not allowed to leave the building during the break. Breakfast is usually served between 0930-1000 in the cafeteria.

All students are responsible for keeping track of their Saturday School assignments; however the Discipline Office will post them on your school loop on a recurring basis. If you are still unsure, please feel free to e-mail- Colleen Rodriguez at Colleen_Rodriguez@upland.k12.ca.us.

Attention CSF Members Regarding Hours

Hours completed in previous years and hours completed this Fall semester will not be accepted AFTER DECEMBER 22nd. You have had all semester to verify your hours from past events, and are expected to turn in this current year's events at the end of each month. Service hours need to be as up-to-date as possible in order to be accurate for the end of the year and graduation. It is in YOUR INTEREST,  and your responsibility, to turn your service hours in on time. The day of graduation is not the time to dispute your hours.

Seniors, remember that of the TWENTY hours total you must have to walk at the front of graduation (as long as you have earned a CSF honor of Life or 100% Membership), you must complete TWO of those hours your senior year. Deadline for those hours will be the end of 3rd Quarter.

Attendance and Discipline Reminders (Eligibility guidelines for Activities)

Hello Highlanders:

As you know we have had an exciting and wonderful start to our new year, however we need to finish strong. Many of you have had wonderful attendance and for that we thank you; but some of you are not doing so well and will need to change immediately! Allow this to serve as a reminder that in order to participate in activities, your student status must be in good standing.

All privileges are subject to be revoked if the following conditions are not met.

All students must have acceptable attendance for the quarter. Acceptable attendance will be no more than 2 unexcused absences and no more than 5 tardies for the quarter. The quarter ends December 22, 2016. If a student has any unserved Saturday Schools, they are automatically ineligible to participate in school activities until all Saturday Schools are served. A student may only purchase a ticket to a dance after all of their Saturday Schools have been served.

Dances are coming up quick and we just wanted to give you an opportunity to correct your attendance on your own. Also if you were suspended for any reason during the 2nd quarter (October 21-Dec 21st) you are ineligible to participate in any dance for that quarter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mr. Chavez (Ext 336) or Mr. Rogers ( Ext 310) in the Discipline office.

What is BSU?

BSUPeople have been asking, what is the purpose of a Black Student Union? The BSU of Upland High School is an organization, whose primary concern and function is to assist students in their educational endeavors. Realizing that students have needs outside the educational institutions, the Black Student Union attempts to provide supportive services, which may or may not be directly educationally related, yet equally important to the educational experience. The Black Student Union also attempts to raise the level of consciousness and awareness of the student body as well as the schools administrators in the areas of black concerns. The Black Student Union also serves as a liaison between the community and the high school. Some of our goals include but not limited to: Providing scholarship money for seniors, assist in paying for senior applications and or SAT/ACT tests for any active member, pay for future events, hardships and so much more. The success of your BSU will depend completely on you. Are you ready?

How do you join?

All you need to do is come to a meeting and get involved!!! Meetings are every Thursday from 3-30pm in room D135.

President is Alexis Stallworth (Senior)

Advisor: Dwight Rogers (Director of Discipline and Attendance)

Anyone is welcome to join; however how active you are is up to you.

Hope to see you there!

This is a student only function.  Please drop off your student promptly at 8 AM. Students will be directed to the gym.

Please have your student bring the completed emergency form, signed, from the Parent Portal.  Students, along with their Link Crew Leader, will partake in orientation, receive lunch, and complete their registration process, including picking up textbooks and schedule. Counselors will also be available if any changes are needed. This will be an active day.  Students should wear comfortable clothing; please, no backpacks or purses.

Students may be done as early as 1:00 but no later than 2:30. This will depend on the registration process. We will have campus supervision until 2:30. Students may use a phone in the office if needed.

If you need to use a computer to access the Parent Portal or speak with a nurse, both will be available starting at 8:00 am. The student store will also be open to purchase ASB cards, PE clothes, PE locks and class t-shirts.

We look forward to meeting your student at orientation!

Signup for AP seminar now


Upland High School is offering a new AP course called AP Seminar for the 2016-2017 school year. AP Seminar is the first of a two course series developed by CollegeBoard for their new program called AP Capstone. AP Capstone consists of two courses--AP Seminar and AP Research--this innovative diploma program gives students an opportunity to either be AP Capstone certified or receive an AP Capstone Diploma.

AP Seminar--the first course--is a foundational course that engages students in cross-curricular conversations that explore the complexities of academic and real-world topics and issues by analyzing divergent perspectives. Using an inquiry framework, students practice reading and analyzing articles, research studies, and foundational literary and philosophical texts; listening to and viewing speeches, broadcasts, and personal accounts; and experiencing artistic works and performances. Students learn to synthesize information from multiple sources, develop their own perspectives in research-based written essays, and design and deliver oral and visual presentations, both individually and as part of a team. Ultimately, the course aims to equip students with the power to analyze and evaluate information with accuracy and precision in order to craft and communicate evidence-based arguments.

RECOMMENDED PREREQUISITES There are no prerequisite courses for the AP Seminar course.

Come see Ms. Lewis in J216 if you are interested!!!!

UHS student 1st place in the nation for his architectural design package

IMG_0362.jpg
Upland High School senior John Acayan won 1st place in the nation for his architectural design package of a new River Valley Dollar Store. John learned of his achievement Wednesday night at the annual NAWIC awards banquet. NAWIC is the National Association of Women in Construction, which sponsors a national architectural design competition for high school students each year. His drawings literally travelled across the country as they were evaluated at the local, regional, and finally the national level. Locally, NAWIC chapter #111 was a competition among 21 students from three high schools. After winning first place locally, his drawings proceeded to the West Coast Regional's, where he once again placed first. Finally, when compared to hundreds of entries nationally, his drawings were considered the best in the country! By the end of the evening, John had collected $2050.00 in monetary awards.

What is ROP? Regional Occupational Program (ROP) is a public education service that provides practical, hands-on career preparation and career guidance.  Baldy View ROP is one of 72 ROP's in the state of California. The ROP is designed to provide students with the technical skills required for particular jobs. Community-based internships in local business and industry sites are offered in many classes. Every course offers a unit on employment seeking skill, which includes the job application, resume, and interview preparation.

Who is eligible? ROP courses are open to all high school students. Priority is given to high school seniors and juniors.

Why take ROP? Experience is the best teacher. ROP can help you get the experience needed to get a job of your choice, or help you update your existing skills, or train in a new field. ROP prepares students to obtain jobs to support the ever-increasing costs of college and promotes further advanced education in particular career areas.

What is the cost? FREE!

Where are ROP classes located? Classes meet at Upland high School or other local high schools and business and industry sites. After basic classroom instruction, every attempt will be made to provide internships near the student's home.

Can you earn high school credits in an ROP class? Yes, upon successful completion of an ROP course, credits and grades may be issued and applied toward high school graduation.

Why should I take ROP if I'm going to college? Whether a student plans to go to a university, college, or directly into the workforce, effective job skills and experience are an asset. ROP courses may give students an edge in obtaining entrance into a variety of related college and university majors. ROP has entered into articulation agreements with Chaffey College and many more. These agreements permit students who have successfully completed selected courses to enroll in training at the community college without having to repeat previously covered materials. Also, there are ROP A-G approved courses that apply towards college requirements.

AP testing

Hello Highlander Parents and Students,

The Advanced Placement Program at Upland High School is an exciting opportunity for you or your child to pursue college-level studies while still in high school. Our AP courses are rigorous and taught by our outstanding UHS staff. As we approach the end of the school year, please keep in mind that the Advanced Placement exams are being offered in early May.

Because the AP exam is an integral part of the Advanced Placement Program, colleges and universities look for your AP score and offer college credit to students scoring a 3, 4 or 5 on the exam. Taking the AP examination is an important part of an AP course; it is viewed as an important measure of college readiness. While the AP course is invaluable in helping students to prepare for an exam, a student may take an exam even if they are not enrolled in an AP course.

Advanced Placement exams vary in length from two to three hours. Each exam (with the exception of Studio Art) contains both multiple choice and free-response questions. AP Teachers will ensure their students know about the specific expectations for each AP test. More information is also available on the internet at http://apcentral.collegeboard.com.

We wanted to let you know that students who are interested in taking AP exams may begin paying for them in the student store or online. Each exam this year costs $91 and depending on the exam and the college you attend can offer up to 12 units of college credit. Students who have a financial hardship can see Mrs. Butler to begin to begin the financial aid process. AP forms are available in the counseling office, the student store and Ms. Nancy Butler's office. The deadline to register for AP testing if you are seeking financial assistance is March 13; if you are not seeking financial assistance and the deadline to register for AP testing is March 20. If you have any questions, please contact Assistant Principal Don Powell at (909) 949-7880 ext. 303.

Have a Highlander Day,

Don Powell

Strategic Plan

Hello all Upland High School Students and Parents,

At the December 9, 2014 Upland Unified School District Board meeting, our Upland High School three-year Strategic Plan was approved.  Our Strategic Plan was developed on November 18, 2014 at a strategic planning retreat, which was held in the Upland Unified School District Community Room.  There were 32 participants at the strategic planning retreat that included students, teachers, parents, classified staff, UHS and UUSD administration, a UUSD school board member, and a community member.

The strategic planning process included the development of a new mission statement.

Our New Upland High School Mission Statement is as follows.
"Upland High School prepares and inspires all students academically and socially to be responsible and productive members of a changing global society."

Along with a new mission statement, we developed five three-year goals.  Within the goals we identified fifteen strategic objectives that will help us progress toward our goals.  These objectives are to be accomplished by June 2015.  The fifteen strategic objectives will be tracked monthly and posted on our website.  Please click the link below to view our 2014-17 Strategic Plan and Strategic Objectives.

ROP Registration

ROP

Students who are interested in enrolling into an ROP class come see Mrs. Chavez in the Career Center! Registration for spring 2015 starts Nov 13 2014. Come sign up! Space is Limited!!! Its first come first served.

What is ROP? Regional Occupational Program (ROP) is a public education service that provides practical, hands-on career preparation and career guidance.  Baldy View ROP is one of 72 ROP's in the state of California. The ROP is designed to provide students with the technical skills required for particular jobs. Community-based internships in local business and industry sites are offered in many classes. Every course offers a unit on employment seeking skill, which includes the job application, resume, and interview preparation.

Who is eligible? ROP courses are open to all students. Priority is given to high school seniors and juniors.

Why take ROP? ROP can help you get the experience needed to get a job of your choice, or help you update your existing skills, or train in a new field. ROP prepares students to obtain jobs to support the ever-increasing costs of college and promotes further advanced education in particular career areas.

Where are ROP classes located? Classes meet at Upland high School or other local high schools and business and industry sites. After basic classroom instruction, every attempt will be made to provide internships near the student's home.

Can you earn high school credits in an ROP class? Yes, upon successful completion of an ROP course, credits and grades may be issued and applied toward high school graduation.

Why should I take ROP if I'm going to college? Whether a student plans to go to a university, college, or directly into the workforce, effective job skills and experience is an asset. ROP courses may give students an edge in obtaining entrance into a variety of related college and university majors. BVROP has entered into articulation agreements with Chaffey College and many more. These agreements permit students who have successfully completed selected courses to enroll in training at the community college without having to repeat previously covered materials.

Perfect Attendance

Starting Monday September 8, 2014 the Discipline Department will begin to give away prizes to students who are demonstrating that they are striving to be a successful student at Upland High School. Our mission at Upland high school is to help each UHS student become a problem solver, skillful communicator, and a responsible citizen.

In this contest students are to have perfect attendance from September 8, 2014-October 8, 2014. (Perfect attendance is defined as 0 tardies and 0 unexcused absences, please do not try to clear up any discrepancies after we have checked. It is the responsibility of each student to know what their attendance looks like)

Example: Do not ask teachers to change your attendance at the last minute. You should check your attendance daily to make sure that it is correct.

Do not ask any of the staff members to check your attendance or Saturday Schools. All correspondence will need to go through e-mail to Mrs. Anna Speer, Martha Neale or Laurie Link.

Now the good stuff!!!!

Register Now For ROP!

ROP

Students who are interested in enrolling into an ROP class come see Mrs. Chavez in the Career Center! Registration for Fall 2014 is May 7th 2014. Come sign up in the CAREER CENTER ! Space is Limited!!!

What is ROP? Regional Occupational Program (ROP) is a public education service that provides practical, hands-on career preparation and career guidance.  Baldy View ROP is one of 72 ROP's in the state of California. The ROP is designed to provide students with the technical skills required for particular jobs. Community-based internships in local business and industry sites are offered in many classes. Every course offers a unit on employment seeking skill, which includes the job application, resume, and interview preparation.

Who is eligible? ROP courses are open to all high school juniors, seniors, persons 16 years of age or older, and to adults. Priority is given to high school seniors and juniors. Students residing within one of the five participating school districts will also receive enrollment priority.

Why take ROP? Experience is the best teacher. ROP can help you get the experience needed to get a job of your choice, or help you update your existing skills, or train in a new field. ROP prepares students to obtain jobs to support the ever-increasing costs of college and promotes further advanced education in particular career areas.

What is the cost? High school students do not pay any registration fees.

Where are ROP classes located? Classes meet at Upland high School or other local high schools and business and industry sites. After basic classroom instruction, every attempt will be made to provide internships near the student's home.

Can you earn high school credits in an ROP class? Yes, upon successful completion of an ROP course, credits and grades may be issued and applied toward high school graduation.

Why should I take ROP if I'm going to college? Whether a student plans to go to a university, college, or directly into the workforce, effective job skills and experience are an asset. ROP courses may give students an edge in obtaining entrance into a variety of related college and university majors. BVROP has entered into articulation agreements with Chaffey College and many more. These agreements permit students who have successfully completed selected courses to enroll in training at the community college without having to repeat previously covered materials.

Team Highlander Places Third in Chevron Design Challenge Advances to State Finals in San Diego

Introduction to Engineering Design students Miguel N., Nathan C. and Shafin G. placed third among the 13 regional teams entered in the annual Chevron Design Challenge at Redondo Union High School this weekend. The top three teams advance to the State Finals which will be held in San Diego on  May 24.
Introduction to Engineering Design, taught by Doug Brooks, is the first of a sequence of courses offered through the Academy of Engineering and Architecture at Upland High School.  Aligned with the new State Common Core, the academy format pathway gives students a jump start into a future career. This year's Chevron design problem required the students to create a new "Entertainment System" to help keep children occupied during long trips. They were given a list of design criteria, and then turned loose in a lab equipped with computer loaded with industry standard solid modeling software with which to create their design. At the end of the day they had to present their design concept to a panel of Chevron executives.
For their 3rd place effort, the students were each awarded a $75 Amazon gift card and a total of $1000 toward their trip to the state finals in San Diego

Parent Workshop: How to help your student decide on a career pathway

Parent Workshop:  How to help your student decide on a career pathway

When young people have a focus on what they want to do later in life, they are able to stay focused on their education. Having a career pathway in mind allows students to better determine what they want to do after high school in terms of 4-year college, trade school, community college, or career. Students who are goal oriented make better class choices and have better academic results.

At this workshop, parents will learn about resources to help their student choose a career pathway that will guide them through high school as they prepare for the world of work.

Parents are invited to attend with their student on Thursday February 13 at 3:00 and again repeated at 7:00 in the Upland High lower library.

Are you in 12th grade and interested in attending Chaffey College?

If so, Chaffey College is providing a Senior Early Assessment for Upland High School Seniors.

What does this mean? Students who know they are going to Chaffey College after they graduate will have the advantage to register early for fall classes. Students will have to go through a series of sessions (3 Sessions).

Once the student goes through that process, the student will be given a registration date to register for classes. This Process guarantees students an earlier registration advantage by being enrolled in the program.

When students attend the first session, a Chaffey College representative will inform the students about the process and how it works. Having said that, we want all our students to participate and get all the requirements done so that they can get a registration date. The sessions are as follow:

  • Session 1: New Student Information Session      2/6/2014  2:40-3:40PM   Upland High Library
  • Session 2: Application Workshop                           2/6/2014  3:40-4:40PM  Lab Rooms G167 & G169
  • Session 3: Assessment Test                                       3/19/2014   1:40-4:40PM   Lab Rooms G167 & G169
  • Session 4: Counseling Session                                  4/7/2014   2:40-4:40PM   Upland High Library

If you are a student who is interested please come to the career center and sign up for CHAFFEY SENIOR EARLY ASSESSMENT BEFORE 1/31/2014.

STUDENTS MUST ATTEND ALL SESSIONS TO BE QUALIFIED FOR EARLY REGISTRATION!

Parent Workshop: How to help your student decide on a career pathway

When young people have a focus on what they want to do later in life, they are able to stay focused on their education. Having a career pathway in mind allows students to better determine what they want to do after high school in terms of 4-year college, trade school, community college, or career. Students who are goal oriented make better class choices and have better academic results.
At this workshop, parents will learn about resources to help their student choose a career pathway that will guide them through high school as they prepare for the world of work.


Parents are invited to attend with their student on Thursday April 11th at 6:00 in the Upland High lower library.

CSF Seniors--IMPORTANT INFORMATION

If you are a senior graduating with CSF honors, please read carefully.

If you have qualified and signed up for CSF for every semester since your SOPHOMORE grades (which are 5 semesters up to this point), are already a Life Member, AND you have the potential to be at 100% CSF member and wear a gold stole along with your tassel at graduation.  Your last semester's grades will be calculated the morning of graduation.  In order to get these calculations done on time, you MUST fill out the schedule attached below.and return it to Ms. Sage in Room N248 by May 17th. I will not do this for you--if CSF is important enough to you, then you should make the effort.

If you have qualified for Life already, but missed a semester since your sophomore year, you do not need to fill out a form.

If you have had THREE semesters of CSF since your sophomore grades, you can still qualify for Life membership in CSF, but you will need to fill out the form below as well, and turn it in to Ms. Sage in N248 by May 17th.

The lists of the students for each category are posted in Ms. Sage's window in Room N248.  If you have a question or believe you should be on a different list, do not disturb class time. CSF office hours are Thursdays after school, or when the door is open in the morning.

Taller para Padres: Cómo ayudar a su estudiante elegir un camino profesional

Cuando los jóvenes tienen un enfoque en lo que quieren hacer en el futuro, son capaces de mantenerse enfocados en su educación. Tener un camino profesional en mente permite que los estudiantes determinen lo que quieren hacer después de la escuela secundaria. Ellos serán capaces de decidir si ir a una universidad, escuela vocacional, colegio comunitario, o perseguir una carrera. Los estudiantes que se concentran en sus objetivos hacen mejores selecciones de clase y tienen mejores resultados académicos.

En este taller, padres aprenderán cuáles son los recursos para ayudar a su estudiante elegir un camino profesional. Este camino profesional les guiará a través de su tiempo en la escuela secundaria, y los preparará para el mundo del trabajo.


Los padres están invitados a asistir con sus estudiantes el jueves 11 de abril a las 7:00 de la noche en la biblioteca de Upland High.

Updated CSF Hours

Current CSF hours have been updated to include all hours I have received since the last update.

SENIORS: YOUR HOURS ARE DUE THE LAST DAY OF 3RD QUARTER, BY 3 PM. It is important that you know 1) You need 20 hours--along with Life or 100% membership--to walk at the front of the class for graduation, 2) You need to have TWO hours from your senior year and 3) TWENTY MEANS TWENTY, not 19.5. Exceptions will NOT be made for students whose hours come up short or are not turned in.  I expect all CSF members to adhere to the same rules and to be responsible and meet these deadlines. If you have questions, you can come to my CSF office hours Thursdays after school until 3 in N248, or in the morning when the door is open. Under no circumstances are you to interrupt my classes for CSF matters (you should be in class anyway).

Are you registered for ROP?

Students who are interested in enrolling into an ROP class come see Mrs. Chavez in the Career Center!

Registration for Fall 2013 is April 17th .

Come sign up! Space is Limited!!!

What is ROP? Regional Occupational Program (ROP) is a public education service that provides practical, hands-on career preparation and career guidance.  Baldy View ROP is one of 72 ROP's in the state of California. The ROP is designed to provide students with the technical skills required for particular jobs. Community-based internships in local business and industry sites are offered in many classes. Every course offers a unit on employment seeking skill, which includes the job application, resume, and interview preparation.

Who is eligible? ROP courses are open to all high school juniors, seniors, persons 16 years of age or older, and to adults. Priority is given to high school seniors and juniors. Students residing within one of the five participating school districts will also receive enrollment priority.

Why take ROP? Experience is the best teacher. ROP can help you get the experience needed to get a job of your choice, or help you update your existing skills, or train in a new field. ROP prepares students to obtain jobs to support the ever-increasing costs of college and promotes further advanced education in particular career areas.

What is the cost? High school students do not pay any registration fees.

Where are ROP classes located? Classes meet at local high schools and business and industry sites. After basic classroom instruction, every attempt will be made to provide internships near the student's home.

Can you earn high school credits in an ROP class? Yes, upon successful completion of an ROP course, credits and grades may be issued and applied toward high school graduation.

Why should I take ROP if I'm going to college? Whether a student plans to go to a university, college, or directly into the workforce, effective job skills and experience are an asset. ROP courses may give students an edge in obtaining entrance into a variety of related college and university majors. ROP has entered into articulation agreements with Chaffey College and many more. These agreements permit students who have successfully completed selected courses to enroll in training at the community college without having to repeat previously covered materials.

SCRIPPS COLLEGE ACADEMY

The Scripps College Academy is a prestigious program, held each summer, on the campus of Scripps College, Claremont. The two week, residential program, introduces participants to the college experience and  prepares young women to apply to the very best colleges. All expenses are paid for young women who are accepted. 9th and 10th grade girls may apply.  A representative of the Scripps College Academy will be on campus on Monday, February 25th, immediately after school in room C110, Ms. Lubarsky's classroom, in the Social Studies building, to explain the application process. The program seeks high performing young women from under-represented minority groups, young women on the free and reduced lunch program, and young women who will be in the first generation in their families to attend college. It provides girls who are admitted with mentors who assist them throughout their junior and senior years, takes them to cultural events during that time, and pays for them to take a very good SAT preparation course, providing them with transportation to and from the classes. The program is life altering for our girls who have been accepted.

Having said that, we want all our students to participate and get all the requirements done so that they can get a registration date. The sessions are as follow:

Are you in 12th grade and interested in attending Chaffey College?

If so, Chaffey is providing a Senior Early Assessment for Upland High School Students. What does this mean? Students who know they are going to Chaffey College after they graduate will have the advantage to register early for fall classes. Students will have to go through a series of sessions (4 Sessions). Once the student goes through that process, students will be given a registration date to register for classes. This Process guarantees students an earlier registration advantage by being enrolled in the program. When students attend the first session, a Chaffey College representative will inform the students about the process and how it works. Having said that, we want all our students to participate and get all the requirements done so that they can get a registration date. The sessions are as follow:

                            Session Name                     Date         Time              Location

Session 1: New Student Information Session    2/5/2013  2:45-4:45PM   Upland High Library

Session 2: Application Workshop                     2/21/2013  2:45-4:45PM  Lab Rooms G167 & G169

Session 3: Assessment Test                           3/27/2013   2:00-5:00PM   Lab Rooms G167 & G169

Session 4: Counseling Session                        4/23/2013   2:45-4:45PM   Upland High Library

If you are a student who is community college bound please come to the career center and sign up for Chaffey senior early assessment. Students MUST attend all sessions to be qualified for early registration!

If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Chavez in the Career Center!

DON'T FORGET TO SIGN UP FOR THE PSAT OCTOBER 20th!!!

The PSAT is a dual-purpose test.  Student's PSAT scores are primarily used in predicting their SAT I scores and therefore assist them in preparing for the SAT I Test.  Equally important, the PSAT doubles as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT).  A student's performance on the PSAT is used for the initial phase of the National Merit Scholarship competition.  Students are often confused about the PSAT/NMSQT title – it can appear, as if there are two tests; however, there is only one test and it serves both purposes mentioned.

The PSAT is the first step on the road to college entry.  It measures developed verbal and mathematical reasoning abilities plus writing skills—all very important for successful academic performance in college.  When you purchase your ticket, you will receive a copy of "Working With the PSAT/NMSQT", which gives students tips on improving test-taking skills.  Tenth grade students receive practice benefits ONLY.  Seating is limited, so buy your tickets early!

Who :  11th graders and qualified 10th graders

When :  UHS Campus, Saturday, October 20th, 2012 at 8:00 a.m.

Cost :  $20.00 until October 12th.

Late Fee: A $5 late fee will be added on all sign-ups after Oct. 12th to equal $25.

Purchase Location : UHS Student store.

Early Assessment Program (EAP)

11th grade students will be participating in the first part of the EAP exam by writing an in-class essay during the week of March 26 - 30. Most classes will write the essay on March 27. The essay, along with additional questions on the English/Language Arts portion of the CST in April will comprise the EAP for English/Language Arts.

EARLY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM (EAP)
Frequently Asked Questions

Q What is the Early Assessment Program?
A The Early Assessment Program (EAP) is an academic preparation program developed by the California Department of Education (CDE), the State Board of Education, and the California State University (CSU).

Q What is the purpose of the EAP?

  • To align the CSU placement standards with the K-12 standards in English language arts and mathematics.
  • Over time, to increase the English and mathematics proficiency of CSU entering freshman students as a result of earlier interventions in high school.
  • To help reduce remediation rates of incoming freshmen to the CSU to 10% by 2007.

Q Why should eleventh grade students participate in the EAP?

  • Earn exemptions from CSU-required English and mathematics placement tests
  • Identify the need for additional preparation for college-level courses
  • Adjust senior year coursework to prepare for college-level courses
  • Avoid investing time and money in college remediation courses that do not count toward a baccalaureate degree

Important Message

The Board of Education took action to modify to 2011-12 school year calendar, restoring two days of school for students that had previously been cut as a result of California's fiscal crisis. This decision came following a full review of the district budget, including its implications for current and future year funding in the Upland Unified School District.

Please make note that the following dates are now regular school days:
Monday, March 26
Friday, May 25

Even in these uncertain fiscal times, it is great to be in a district where the Board of Education places instructional time at the top of the list when prioritizing its resources. A copy of the revised calendar for 2011-12 will be posted on the district web site.

CSF APPLICATION FOR FALL 2011

Attention Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores!!!  Did you get good grades last year? You may be eligible for CSF, an academic and service based club that meets once a month, but requires you to sign up to join IF YOU HAVE QUALIFIED.

How do you know if you have qualified?  Print out the informational handout that describes the point system established by CSF (NOT Upland High School) and calculate your points based on your grades.  It is very specific and you must have a minimum amount of points from each list. Unfortunately, it is not enough to just get A's and B's.

If you do not want to calculate your points, you can wait until Monday, September 12th, and the names will be posted in the Guidance Office window.

Sign ups are at the Student Store September 14th to September 21st. You MUST print and fill out an application and take that with your $5 dues to the Student Store.  You must sign up EACH SEMESTER YOU QUALIFY.

Questions can be addressed to Ms. Sage through email on School Loop or after school on Thursdays from 2:45 to 3:00.  I am NOT available during class time (I have a class to teach), and do not have the time to add up your points for you--if you have a question about the process, I can help you, but you need to be prepared with your grades and the list number.

General information about CSF can be found on the School Loop page for CSF (times of meetings, benefits of joining, activities).  Please refer to this page before you come to me with any questions.

CSF Summer Volunteer Hours Opportunities

If you are a member of CSF and want to earn some hours in the summer WITHOUT having to be approved, here are your opportunities--

Library Volunteering (Speak with one of the librarians regarding when they will need you--they keep track of your hours but it is ALWAYS a good idea to keep track of your own for yourself)

Front Office Volunteering (Speak with Mrs. Vickers, who will need volunteers at the end of June and the beginning of August. The school will be open Monday - Thursday.  See her for the hours she would need you--949-7880 x 304)

**Remember, any other volunteering needs to have prior CSF advisor approval.  Don't just assume it will be ok.  Other volunteer opportunities will be offered throughout the school year, so if these activities do not fit into your schedule, you will have more than enough time to get your hours.

Happy Summer!

Graduation Tickets - Important Change

We are making two important changes regarding our June 9th graduation ceremony. Please read this information. These changes may impact your plans.

  1. We are increasing the number of graduation tickets available to each graduate from 4 to 5. Graduation tickets will be available for distribution beginning Friday, May 27.
  2. Only ticketed guests will be permitted to enter the stadium. There will be no standing room area in the stadium.

These changes are based on a recommendation from the fire department and the approved state architect plans for the stadium. Our goal is to insure the safety and comfort of our families and guests.

As in past years, graduates who do not need all of their tickets may distribute them to others or turn them in to the principal's office for redistribution.

Also please note that students with academic, financial or discipline holds will not be issued tickets until the holds are cleared.

Pertussis (TDAP) booster information

Message to Parents:

We'd like you to know that Pertussis (whooping cough) is a highly contagious bacterial illness spread by coughs and sneezes. People sick with pertussis have severe coughing attacks that can last for months.

Vaccination is the best defense against whooping cough. However, the immunity from vaccines wears off over time and pertussis booster vaccine rates in adolescents and adults continue to be low.

For the 2011-12 school year, a new law now requires that all incoming 7th - 12th graders get a whooping cough booster shot, called TDAP, before entering school. This shot is routinely recommended for children ages 10 and older.

Students entering or advancing into 7th through 12th grade are required to show proof of pertussis (TDAP) booster before starting school.

If you should have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact our health office @ ext. 322

Thank you to all of the students who participated in the 2009-2010 Hip Hop Dance auditions.  It was a great turn out with a large amount of talent, which made the competition this year extremely stiff.  Unfortunately, we can only take 26 out of the 77 students.  If you did not make the team this year please audition again and enroll in a dance class.  An extra year of dance can make a world of difference.  Thank you again for all of you who auditioned!

Drafting News

Congratulations to ROP/Upland High School Architecture students Adrian Freire and Todd Rotolo!  Adrian took 1st place while Todd took 3rd in the annual drafting competition sponsored by the National Association of Women in Construction.  17 students from 4 high schools entered their design of a lakeside mountain home into the local competition.  After winning the local contest, Adrian's drawings were sent on to the Region 12 competition (California, Nevada and Hawaii), where he received a second place award.  This is only the second time a local student has placed in the regional competition (Last year UHS senior Stephen Skilbred achieved first place). Adrian took home $450 for his efforts, while Todd received $100. Both are headed to Cal Poly to pursue degrees in architecture.

Adrian and Todd are enrolled in the UHS/BVROP Architectural Drafting course taught by Doug Brooks.

Influenza Information from the Superintendent (Spanish)

Estimados Padres de Familia:

Los reportes diarios en los noticieros nos recuerdan que los casos de la gripe porcina han incrementado sustancialmente alrededor del mundo. De acuerdo con el reporte del Departamento de Servicios de Salud del Condado de San Bernardino, a partir de esta mañana todavía no existe ningún caso del virus porcino en el Condado de San Bernardino.

En el Distrito Escolar Unificado de Upland, estamos tomando las medidas de precaución necesarias para minimizar el riesgo de contraer el virus entre los alumnos y empleados.

Nuestro distrito escolar mantiene contacto diario con el Departamento de Servicios de Salud y estamos preparados para tomar acción inmediata en caso de que éste virus sea confirmado en nuestra comunidad. De acuerdo con las reglas de la Agencia de Servicios Humanitarios y de Salud del Estado California se han hecho las siguientes recomendaciones:

· Los salones de clase, oficinas y baños se revisarán constantemente para asegurarnos de que están equipados con los materiales higiénicos necesarios tales como jabón para lavarse las manos.

· Se ha recomendado el uso del Gel Desinfectante para Manos con Base de Alcohol en los salones de clase donde los maestros estarán controlando el uso del gel.

· Estamos recordando constantemente al personal, padres de familia y estudiantes que la importancia de la prevención de reducir la expansión de cualquier enfermedad infecciosa puede reducirse con la práctica de lavarse bien las manos constantemente, evitar tocarse los ojos, nariz y boca y finalmente cubrirse la boca con el brazo cuando estornude y al toser.

· Todos los directores de las escuelas, enfermeras del distrito escolar y asistentes de enfermeras han obtenido información acerca de los síntomas de la gripe y estarán observando muy de cercas a los alumnos que sean enviados a la oficina.

· El distrito escolar continuará revisando la asistencia de los estudiantes en cada escuela y se pondrá en contacto con los padres de los alumnos que falten a la escuela para obtener información acerca de la razón por la cual no asistieron a la escuela.

· El cierre de la escuela será considerado si existe algún caso confirmado con la infección de la gripe porcina.

· En caso de que se cierre algún plantel escolar todos los servicios que se ofrecen en ese plantel escolar serán cancelados hasta que el riesgo del virus sea identificado o controlado.

Les recordamos a todos los padres de familia la importancia de mantener a su hijo/a en casa hasta que se recupere completamente. Además, por favor notifique inmediatamente a la escuela el motivo de la ausencia de su hijo/a y por favor preparese para proveer información acerca de los síntomas y el tratamiento que recibe su hijoa/a.

La parte de atrás de ésta carta incluye las instrucciones del Departamento de Salud Pública del Condado de San Bernardino y otras agencias de salud así como también la dirección electrónica de algunos sitios en la internet para obtener mayor información. Tan pronto obtengamos más información acerca de éste virus, el distrito escolar les mantendrá informado atravez de avisos escolares, la internet en la siguiente dirección www.upland.k12.ca.us , y atravez de mensajes grabados por teléfono.

Atentamente,

Gary Rutherford, Ed.D.

Influenza Information from Superintendent (English)

Dear Parents:

Daily reports in the media remind us that there has been a recent increase in the cases of Swine Flu identified throughout the world. According to the San Bernardino County Department of Health Services, as of this morning there are no further confirmed or probable cases of Swine Influenza in Upland or in San Bernardino County.

In the Upland Unified School District, we are taking every precaution to minimize the risk of exposure to this condition among our students and employees.

Please be assured that the District is in daily contact with the Department of Health Services and we stand prepared to take immediate action should the virus be suspected or confirmed in our community. In accordance with guidelines from the State of California Health and Human Services Agency:

· School classrooms, offices and restrooms will be monitored to ensure that they are well stocked with hand-washing supplies.

· Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are recommended and can be placed in classrooms where teachers will monitor their use.

· We are reminding staff, parents and students that prevention efforts to reduce the spread of any contagious illness start with good hand-washing, followed by avoiding touching of eyes, nose and mouth, and finally by covering coughs or sneezes with the inside of the elbow.

· All school principals, district nurses and health technicians have received information regarding flu symptoms and will closely assess all student health referrals.

· The District will continue to closely monitor attendance at each school and will contact parents of absent students to collect information regarding the reason for the absence.

· Dismissal of students will be strongly considered in schools with a confirmed or a suspected case of Swine Flu infection.

· If a school is dismissed, all school gatherings and childcare services will also be canceled until the risk can be identified and controlled.

Parents, please be reminded of the importance of keeping sick children home until they are completely recovered. In addition, please notify the school immediately regarding your child's absence and be prepared to provide information regarding symptoms and treatment.

The reverse side of this letter includes instructions from the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, including health agencies and web site referrals for additional information. As more information becomes available, the District will keep you informed through school notices, the district web site at www.upland.k12.ca.us , and through recorded telephone messages.

Sincerely,

Gary Rutherford, Ed.D.

Operation CleanSWEEP

In the spirit of making the Upland High School campus as safe as possible, UHS recently teamed up with the Upland Police Department and the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, to participate in a program called Operation CleanSWEEP.  Operation CleanSWEEP is a County sponsored program that enables law enforcement and school officials to issue citations to juveniles who violate certain laws while on a school campus.  These citations are settled in Juvenile Traffic Court and are punishable by fines, community service, and possible mandatory Court Class attendance.

Operation CleanSWEEP is designed to be another intervention for student discipline and in no way replaces a school's existing discipline matrix.  Rather, it is designed to be an additional consequence used in UHS' progressive discipline plan.

Beginning in January 2009, under Operation CleanSWEEP, UHS students could be issued citations for such offenses as littering, daytime loitering, and fighting.  Please join us in supporting this program by discussing with your child or children the importance of following school rules, city ordinances, and state laws.  In this way, you will be helping us to ensure the success of all UHS students.

Operation CleanSWEEP has a website at www.co.san-bernardino.ca.us/sheriff should you require further information and you may also contact the UHS discipline department at Ext. 306.
