Dear West Allis Central Families:
May’s newsletter is packed with lots of critical information as we wrap up this school year. I will keep this introduction
brief and simply say Thank You to all of the staff and parents that contribute many hours to make our end-of-year events
happen at Central, and to make the end of the school year a memorable time for everyone.
Students, study hard, take care of yourselves (eat well, get enough rest!), stay safe, and end the year on a positive note.
Seniors, this season is an especially memorable one for you. Enjoy this time as you wrap up your high school career and
move on to the next phase of your lives.
On a completely different subject, more information on Summer School will be coming out in the coming weeks, but I
wanted to give you a preview so that you can make plans.
Central Summer School 2015
Letters for summer school will go out to individual families in the coming two weeks.
Students eligible for Jump Start or College Bound Study Skills will be invited based middle school recommendations.
Students eligible for credit recovery in the summer will be invited based on need. The goal is to keep all students in their
graduation cohorts, so summer attendance for credit recovery is very strongly encouraged.
For students who want to take Independent PE or Health over the summer, please see your guidance counselor for this
option.

Session 1 (2 sessions per day): June 16 – July 3 8:00 am – 10:15 am; 10:45 am – 1:00 pm

IMPORTANT SENIOR INFORMATION!
The senior picnic will be Thursday, May 28, 2015 in the field house during the lunch periods.
Graduation contracts must be turned in before students may walk at graduation. These will be distributed to seniors at
school and there is a copy included in this newsletter. Please return these signed contracts to Ms. Garcia (Room 308) or
Mr. Rudey (Room 358) by June 11th if you plan to walk at graduation.
If seniors haven't picked up their caps and gowns, they need to pick them up from Ms. Garcia. If they still owe money,
they must bring cash. Exact amounts only! We cannot make change.
If seniors have not yet notified Student Services of their post-graduation plans, they should please see Mrs. Passineau to
give her this information.
If seniors have not yet ordered their cap and gowns, they must do so as soon as possible if they plan to walk at
graduation. Orders should be placed at wigrad.com. Or contact Jostens at 1-262-706-3331.
Graduation rehearsal will be held on Thursday, June 11th at 10:45am. Students should meet in the auditorium at that time,
following their last exam.
Graduation is June 13, 2014 at 3:00pm. Beginning Tuesday, June 9th, 6 graduation tickets will be issued to each senior
once all books are returned and all fees are paid.
END OF THE YEAR IPAD COLLECTION
The end of the year is quickly approaching. IPad collection will occur from May 26th – June 1st during normal
school hours. Classes will follow a normal schedule during this time. Students will be notified by their CAP
teacher of the date and time they should report for iPad collection. Any iPad that is not collected during this
scheduled time frame will be collected the following week. All iPads will be locked down with our management
system after June 2nd and will become unusable. If a student does not return their iPad, they will be charged for
a lost/stolen iPad as described in the iPad usage agreement and a police report will be required.
Students should prepare their iPad for collection prior to May 26th. Students should back up or transfer any files
that they would like to keep using Google Drive or iCloud. A CAP lesson on backing up files will be provided
prior to collection. All of the information on the iPads will be erased during collection. We plan to reissue the
same iPads to students for the 2015-2016 school year. IPads and chargers will be labeled and boxed
accordingly. We encourage students to keep their cases on their iPads during storage over the summer. Cases
provide additional protection when storing and transporting iPads.
IPad and charger damage will be assessed on the day of iPad collection. IPad screens, buttons, audio and
charging ports will be tested. The power adapter and cord of the charger will be tested. Fees will be assessed for
all damaged iPad screens and chargers that are not in working condition. Any fees related to iPad and/or charger
damage will be entered into Infinite Campus on the day that the iPad is collected. All fees can be paid in the main office
or online. The fee structure was included in the parent/guardian agreement and reads as follows:
“If your student’s iPad charger is broken, lost, or stolen, your family will be charged a
replacement fee of $40. If your student’s iPad is cracked or damaged, your family will be
charged a repair fee of $60. Should any student’s repaired iPad again become cracked
or damaged, your family will be charged a higher repair fee of $90. If your student’s iPad
is lost or stolen, your family will be charged a replacement fee of $175. Should any
student’s reissued iPad again be lost or stolen, your family will be charged a
replacement fee of $379. A third damaged or stolen iPad may result in the student not
being allowed to remove their iPad from their school’s location.”
We appreciate your support and cooperation as we go through this process.
If you have issues and/or concerns please contact: Carl Bauhs, Technology Integrator (414-604-3130) or Amy
Van Deuren, Principal (414-604-3111)

From the Math Department
As we look ahead to next year we’d like to remind all students taking the following classes: Algebra 2 and
Algebra 2 with Trig, that a graphing calculator is required for these classes. The math department recommends
a TI-83, TI-84 or a TI-Nspire (non-CAS) for these courses (and all courses above). These calculators are
allowed on the SAT, ACT and AP Exams. Many problems done in class require these calculators and deal with
hundreds of calculations done in seconds on these calculators. Please begin to look for deals at local stores now
so you can purchase one for a reasonable price. EBay and other online locations are great to look at, this time
of the year, since many students will be selling their calculators.
French News
The French Honor Society had a successful induction ceremony on Thursday, April 16th. Ten new members were

SPANISH EVENTS
In November, Spanish IV, V, VI and VII students participated in a workshop at Latino Arts for Día de los Muertos,
providing them a first-hand experience creating memory tables and learning through art creation of this cultural
perspective of México. Students attending had the opportunity to tour the Art Gallery to see ofrendas made by local,
regional, and international artists.
In February, Spanish III, IV, V, VI and VII students had the unique opportunity to participate in an Argentinian Tango
Dance workshop. They were instructed by internationally-renowned dancer and musician Jaques Saint-Cyr who offered
them hands-on coaching in the principles of Tango. Students also viewed the Art Gallery presentation of Tango Colores
by Pacia Sallomi, whose paintings depicted the juxtapositions of Tango that mirror the polarities of life and pay homage
to the dance of invention that is both active and receptive.
In early March, Spanish III, IV, V, VI and VII students saw Grupo Rebolú in concert of Afro-Columbian music.
Throughout the all-Spanish performed concert, the band introduced to and explained to students the authentic instruments
used in Colombian music. They also toured the Latino Art’s Gallery viewing Visiones Tomando Vuelo by Vivian Vivas,
a Venezuelan artist.
In late March, students from all levels of Spanish went to an interactive presentation of Gobernadores de Puerto Rico, at
Inspiration Art Studios in West Allis. The presenter, Mr. Luis López, presented on Government in Puerto Rico, Puerto
Rico as a Commonwealth, and had an informative display of authentic realia, photos and letters of current and past
Governors of Puerto Rico. The session ended with live “cuatro” and guitar performance of traditional Puerto Rican
music.
WORLD LANGUAGE CLUB
World Language Club is an interactive club open to all students of French, German, and Spanish. Attendees experience
different cultural celebrations of French, German, and Spanish-speaking countries. Events are led by all of the World

AVID, Advancement via Individual Determination, is an academic system that is in its fifth year of existance at West
Allis Central High School. It is a national college preparedness program reaching more than 425,000 students. AVID is
designed for students who are traditionally under-represented in college, first generation college students, and students
who are in the academic middle. AVID accelerates student learning based on best practice methods. The mission of
AVID is to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society.
AVID stresses the importance of visiting colleges to expose students to post-secondary options. Students are invited to
join AVID at the end of their freshmen year based on grades, MAP scores, teacher recommendations and behavior.
Currently Central has three AVID elective classes, one each for sophomores, juniors and seniors taught by Mrs. D’Amato,
Mrs. Boales and Mrs. Wright.
There are many highlights from AVID this year. AVID students had the opportunity to attend a College Fair at Mount
Mary College, take a tour of UW-Platteville and visit the Milwaukee Art Museum. The sophomores have welcomed
guest speakers to learn about careers. Many AVID Juniors took an ACT Prep course offered after school to prepare them
for the ACT exam. So far 18 of the 20 AVID seniors have been accepted to one or more four-year or two- year colleges
and have taken the necessary steps to prepare to attend college. All three AVID classes will celebrate this year’s
successes with a banquet on Monday May 18th. AVID provides motivated students an excellent opportunity to prepare for
college and careers.

BEFORE SCHOOL AND AFTER SCHOOL PROCEDURES
Central is committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment for all of our students, and to honor that
commitment, the following before-school and after-school procedures are in place at Central High School:
BEFORE SCHOOL: The Field House doors on Lincoln Avenue are open early (by 6:00 am). From 7:00 am to 7:47 am, the
Field House doors on the Grant Street side are open as well. All other doors are locked.
At 7:47 am, the Field House doors on Grant Street are closed, and students MUST enter through the Field House doors
on Lincoln Avenue. A table is set up at the entrance so that students can get a pass to enter class.
AFTER SCHOOL: The bell rings at 3:00 pm. Students have until 3:15 pm to exit the building unless they are involved in an
after school club, activity, or sport. At 3:15 pm, students are directed away from the building doors and toward the
street to clear the entrance so that staff can leave and students involved in after school activities can enter.
Please make sure that your student(s) has transportation arranged after school, or that he or she is involved in an after
school club, activity, or sport. Please also make sure that your student(s) is prepared for the weather conditions,
including umbrellas, hats, hoods, coats, gloves, etc.
Thank you for your cooperation in making Central a safe learning environment for all students!!
UPDATING CONTACT INFORMATION
Parents: Please remember to notify our main office with any address / home phone / cell phone / work phone changes as
soon as possible. In the event of an emergency, this information is vital to us. Please contact the main office at 414-6043110. Thank you for your assistance in this matter!
EARLY DISMISSALS
Students who must leave during the school day for a pre-approved reason must bring a written parent note to the
attendance window in order to be issued an early dismissal slip. Upon return to the school, the student must sign in at the
attendance window to be issued a pass back to class. Students are not allowed to leave the building for any reason during
the school day without parent/guardian consent. Students who leave the school building without proper permission may
be considered truant. Last minute calls for an early dismissal can be difficult. Please send a note with your child in
the morning and have them stop at the Attendance Office for an early dismissal pass. Thank you.
REPORTING STUDENT ABSENCES
Parents – Please be reminded that anytime a student is going to be absent from school for any part of the day, you must
call the absence in to our attendance office at 414-604-3101. This is a 24-hour phone line, and a message may be left at
any time, day or night. If a live attendant is not available when you call, please leave a detailed message indicating your
name, the student’s name, the reason for the absence, and a phone number where you may be reached. All attendance
messages are listened to promptly each morning, and our attendance line is checked repeatedly throughout the school day
for additional messages. An automated attendance message is sent out every night to the primary phone numbers of any
students who had an unexcused absence that day, i.e. students who were not called in for the day or students who missed
one or more classes without a parent excuse. If you receive one of these calls, please contact the attendance office with
the reason for the student’s absence. If you feel the call was an error, please contact our attendance office so that we may
verify the absence with the appropriate teachers. Thank you for your assistance and understanding in this matter.
INFINITE CAMPUS PARENT PORTAL
The West Allis/West Milwaukee School District uses the Infinite Campus Parent Portal, a web-based student information
system. The portal provides communication between the school district and parents/guardians. It can also improve
communication between parents and children, thus improving academic progress, assignment completion, and attendance.
Once you activate your account and establish your username and password, you will have access to information including
your child’s grades, attendance, and schedule. You will also be able to pay your child’s school fees and lunch fees directly
through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.
The Parent Portal is live and will change with data input. Information is included in this mailing on how to set up your
Parent Portal account if you have not already done so. If you currently use the Parent Portal, you will not need to set it up
again.
If you need your activation code, need assistance in setting up your Parent Portal Account, or have any questions, please
contact the main office at 414-604-3110.
HOMEWORK REQUESTS
Homework may be requested for any excused absence that extends for three or more school days. To request your child’s
homework, please contact the main office at 414-604-3110. Please allow us 24 hours to complete these requests, so that
teachers have adequate time to compile the necessary homework for your student. Homework will be available for pick up
in the main office at 3:00 p.m.
WORK PERMITS
Students under the age of 18 hired for a job must obtain a work permit. Work permits are a privilege to obtain—
students must be passing all classes, have good attendance, and have no behavior referrals. Students may obtain a
