Attendance Hints & Reminders
If you receive a message at home from our SchoolReach phone system saying that your child had an
unexplained absence during the day, please check on PowerSchool to see what class your child was
marked absent. Your child will then need to contact this teacher if they feel this is an error. The
Attendance Office cannot change absences without the permission of the teacher who originally
marked the absence. Please call 845-4403 for grades 10-12 and 845-4503 for Freshmen, EA &
GEDO to report absences or students arriving late to school.
Notes vs. Calls If you know ahead of time that your student needs to leave for an appointment
it is preferred to PLEASE send a note with them. Calling the Attendance Office to have a pass
delivered to the student takes extra time and resources to deliver the note. This also disrupts the
class when delivering the pass or calling into the classroom if needed.

VAHS THEATRE Presents
You Can’t Take It With You
By
Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman
VAHS Theatre Arts will present three performances of the classic
comedy You Can’t Take It With You on March 26-28, 2015 in the
VAHS Performing Arts Center. The original production of the play
opened at the Booth Theatre on Dec. 14, 1936, and played for 837
performances. The play won the 1937 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The
story revolves around the escapades of the eccentric and colorful
Sycamore family. At first the Sycamores seem mad, but it is not long
before we realize that if they are mad, the rest of the world is madder
still. They are a happily eccentric gang of snake collectors, cunning
revolutionaries, ballet dancers and skyrocket makers. With its spirited
defense of living life for the sheer joy of living, the play has been a
stalwart of the American theatre for over 75 years.
The VAHS Theatre cast includes Molly Kempfer, Zoe Hansen,
Makena Meyers, Randy Kessenich, Caulden Parkel, Sam Schultz,
Tomas Endter, Kanu Shenoi, Maggie Ferguson, Chayank, Ben
Kaeder, Will Schroeder, Natalie Long, Patrick Desmond, Mary
Schroeder, Damien Sagopolu, Max Luke, and Emily Marckesano.
The production is directed by Steve Nibbe. Carmen Berkan and Harry
Ireland will stage manage.
Tickets for the production are $10.00 for general admission and $5.00
for students and seniors and can be obtained by calling the VAHS
Theatre box office at 845-4488.
Scheduling Reminders
Starting January 29th, students will begin getting information about scheduling for next year’s classes. Students will
receive a course request form along with a course prospectus (a document explaining all courses offered at VAHS).
Students should bring this information home to discuss class options with parents/guardians. Each student will fill
out their course request form, enter their class requests online in PowerSchool and then turn in their course request
form to their 2nd hour teacher on or before Friday, February 13th. Students who have specific questions about class
options for next year can either talk to their current teacher in that subject area and/or schedule a meeting to meet
with their counselor.
Counselors will be available in the computer lab every night after school from Monday, February 9-Thursday,
February 13th until 4:30 and all day on Thursday and Friday to help students enter their courses online.
The teachers from each academic department will be creating informational videos about course offerings that will be
shared with students. The videos will also be available on the VAHS website under the Student Services Tab.

Getting to Know the
Student Council Co-Presidents
Maddie Weston
&
What do you value about being a Student Council
President?
I love being able to see all of the changes that we
are able to make within our school and community
and know that I help make those changes happen.
What legacy do you hope to leave here?
I hope to leave the legacy that anyone is able to be
a leader. I was outspoken as an underclassman, but
I forced myself to leave my comfort zone and
applied for Executive Board on Student Council,
which is one of the best decisions I made
throughout all of high school.
Why should others join Student Council?
Student Council is a great place to meet new
people, volunteer, and grow as a leader. We also
plan homecoming which is pretty fun, too!
If you could describe Student Council in one word,
what would it be?
Fulfilling.
Claire Kramer
What are you passionate about?
I’m really passionate about service and
activities within the school! I love spirit
activities and when students get really
involved in the fundraisers we are running. I
also love being involved in helping make the
school a better place. It’s great being able to
change things for the good.
What was or is your favorite Student Council
activity?
My favorite Student Council activity from last
year was the Pennies for Patients fundraiser
because it combined getting students involved
(through Penny Wars and ‘Stick it to Cancer’)
and raising money for a great cause.
Why should others join Student Council?
Others should join Student Council because
they can voice their opinion and try to improve
the school. Plus, it’s really fun!

BUSINESS, MARKETING &
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
VERONA AREA HIGH SCHOOL
New Name, New Opportunities - By Ms. Makovec, Mr. Maurer and Ms. Mortenson
Since last May, the Business Education
Department members, consisting of Tammy
Makovec, Joe Maurer and Rita Mortenson have
been busy working on revising and making BIG
changes in their department to meet the needs of
all students. Meeting over 12 times with a
consultant, the department looked to make
innovative changes - including many new course
offerings. At this time, we are excited to share the
new opportunities that are available for all
students for the upcoming school year! The first
change was in the name. Starting in the 2015
school year, we will now be the Business,
Marketing & Information Technology Department
(BMIT). This name best reflects the new course
offerings that we have, including several
marketing courses. We also started an Advisory
Committee consisting of business and community
members and parents, This committee provides
valuable insight and ideas as we introduce our
new offerings. The biggest changes are that in the
course offerings for next year. During the
2015-2016 school year, there will be many new
and exciting courses, providing students with
more opportunities to explore their future. For a
complete and detailed list of all courses and their
descriptions, see the Verona Area High School
course prospectus that each student receives.

CELEBRATE
February is National CTE Month
February is National Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month. It is a
great time to celebrate all the amazing things that are happening in the
CTE Departments at Verona Area High School. These departments
include Agriculture, Business Education, Family and Consumer Science
and Technology Education and Engineering.
Many people might not realize that Career and Technical Education is the
forefront of preparing students to be “college and career ready.” CTE
programs can equip students with core academic skills, employability
skills, and job-specific technical skills related to a specific career pathway.
In fact, students who complete a rigorous academic core coupled with a
career concentration are more likely to pursue college and are less likely
to drop out in the first year.
Career and technical education students significantly report that they
developed problem-solving, project completion, research, math, college
application, work-related, communication, time management, and critical
thinking skills during high school.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, almost all high school
students take at least one career and technical education course, and one
in four students take three or more courses in a single program area. In
the CTE course offerings at VAHS, you can find so many innovative
courses.
Career and technical education can prepare you for a wide range of
careers and further educational opportunities. Varying levels of education
– including industry-recognized credentials, postsecondary certificates,
and two- and four-year degrees connect to these careers. Check out the
career and technical education choices in your course description
information.
Wisconsin high schools have incredible courses in Career
and Technical Education and are taking a lead in preparing
students for a productive workforce and successful careers.
VAHS is a part of this. Read your course description
information carefully for courses to help prepare you for your
future career.
