| Human Growth and Development Instruction |
| An outline of the human growth and development curriculum used at their child's grade level will be provided to the parent if such curriculum is taught. An explanation that no student is required to take instruction in human growth and development will also be provided. |
|
| Special Education Referral and Evaluation Procedures |
| Upon request, the Johnson Creek School District is required to evaluate a child for eligibility for special education services. A request for evaluation is known as a referral. When the district receives a referral, the district will appoint an Individualized Education Program (IEP) team to determine if the child has a disability, and if the child needs special education services. The district locates, identifies, and evaluates all children with disabilities who are enrolled by their parents in private (including religious) schools, elementary schools and secondary schools located in the school district.
A physician, nurse, psychologist, social worker, or administrator of a social agency who reasonably believes a child brought to him or her for services is a child with a disability has a legal duty to refer the child, including a homeless child, to the school district in which the child resides. Before referring the child, the person making the referral must inform the child's parent that the referral will be made.
Others, including parents, who reasonably believe a child is a child with a disability may also refer the child, including a homeless child, to the school district in which the child resides. Referrals must be in writing and include the reason why the person believes the child is a child with a disability. A referral may be made by contacting Stacy Pustina, Director of Special Education, Johnson Creek School District, at 920-541-4801, or by writing her at 455 Aztalan St, Johnson Creek, WI 53038. |

| Concussion and Head Injury Information |
| School districts are required by section 118.293 of the state statutes to distribute a concussion and head injury information sheet to (1) each person who will be coaching a youth athletic activity and (2) each student who wishes to participate in the activity at the beginning of a youth athletic activity season, except as otherwise specifically provided. No person may participate in a youth athletic activity unless the person returns the concussion and head injury information sheet signed by the person (e.g., student athlete) and, if he/she is under the age of 19, by his/her parent/guardian. If the person does not return this signed information sheet, he/she cannot participate in the youth athletic activity.

| Starting with any youth athletic activity season that begins on or after July 1, 2022, school districts and other persons who operate certain youth athletic activities have an obligation under section 118.2935 to distribute information about the nature and risk of sudden cardiac arrest during such activities. This information about sudden cardiac arrest must be provided in connection with any youth athletic activity, as defined under section 118.293(1)(c), that is offered to persons who are 12 years of age or older.

| Meningococcal Disease Information |
| Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes (meninges) surrounding your brain and spinal cord. Bacteria that enter the bloodstream and travel to the brain and spinal cord cause acute bacterial meningitis. But it can also occur when bacteria directly invade the meninges. Common bacteria or viruses that can cause meningitis can spread through coughing, sneezing, kissing, or sharing eating utensils or a toothbrush. Early meningitis symptoms may mimic the flu (influenza). Possible signs and symptoms include sudden high fever, stiff neck, severe headache, headache with nausea or vomiting, confusion, seizure, sleepiness, sensitivity to light, no appetite or thirst, skin rash. The Center for Disease Control recommends the meningococcal vaccine for all preteens and teens. Talk with your child?s healthcare professional for more information. |

| Annual Asbestos Notification |
| To All Concerned Parties:
On October 22, 1986, then President Ronald Reagan signed into law the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). This Act requires all school districts, both public and private, with levels from early childhood and kindergarten through grade 12, to inspect each of their school buildings for asbestos
containing building materials.
Management plans are then to be developed which outline how the asbestos situation will be handled in each of the school buildings. Inspection of the Johnson Creek Schools and the development of management plans are complete. Copies of the inspection reports and management plans are available for review at each of the school offices and at the District Office which are located at 455 Aztalan Street in Johnson Creek, Wisconsin. All visitors to any of the school buildings?inspectors, sales people, and others?should report to the appropriate building office immediately upon entering to review the reports and/or plans.
The Johnson Creek School District has assigned a designated person to see that all District responsibilities are properly carried out. This person is Dan Fischer, Director of Buildings & Grounds. He can be contacted about any AHERA questions at 920-541-4800. |
