There is healthy buzz about new learning standards
known as the Common Core. Do you know what they mean? The new standards specify what students
should learn at each grade level in language arts and mathematics. These
standards are designed to prepare students for college, work, and life, and
require students to read more non-fiction, do more writing, and focus on
problem-solving. Students at RAHS regularly
learn this way, and the teaching staff continues to refine and align their
curriculum to the Common Core.
With the fresh learning standards, it is no surprise that our state tests
have changed. I encourage the current
sophomores and juniors to become familiar with these assessments and take
action to review the available practice exams. To view the practice tests, click
on link, http://sbac.portal.airast.org/practice-test/
Getting to the practice exams requires navigating through three separate
screens of information. Start with the
practice-test link, and then scroll down to the bottom on the page. Click the button labeled, Student Interface: Practice and Training Tests. When the new screen appears, click the button
labeled, Sign In. On the subsequent page, select a grade level,
choose 11, and then select “YES” for Guest School. The next screen shows the buttons for the three
practice tests in mathematics and three exams for English Language Arts.
RAHS will administer the tests on May 27 and May 28. On May 27, the Sophomores will take the
English Language Arts assessment, and over the both days, the Juniors are
tested in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
My take away from trying the practice tests is straightforward. Read all the directions twice. Many math questions have multiple right
answers, and to receive full credit on the question; all the correct answers
must be selected. I am confident you
have been very well prepared by our amazing teachers, through our approach to
project-based learning, and by your scholarly focus exhibited every day.
With tremendous pleasure, there is fantastic news to share about a novel
project in Mr. McComb’s class, the Wind
Turbine. Last Saturday,
approximately forty RAHS 9th graders attended the local KidWind
Challenge in Seattle to test the turbines they created. They defended their learning of wind turbines
to experts. As we have come to expect, they represented the school well
and performed with distinction.
RAHS students also swept the high-school awards:
Best blades:
Jeff Spaeth, Tricia Ing, Kyla Marks, and
Ravi Sangani
3rd
place overall: Henry Meyerson, Keir Hitchens, Victor Current, and Josh Sherbrooke
2nd
place overall: Abigail Quinsay, Patrick Hoang, Dylan Shaw, Hannah Kaiser, Erin
Davidson, Zach Newton
1st
place overall: Izzie Torres, Hannah Park, and Isaac Shepard
Our top three teams have been invited to attend
Regionals in Portland on May 9, where $5000 in prizes and a chance to head to
Nationals are on the line. We wish them luck!
Also on Saturday, many of our students participated
in the Electric Aircraft Cargo Challenge, sponsored by the PNW branch of the American Institute for Aeronautics and
Astronautics and hosted by the Museum of Flight. In addition to the
great learning, we saw some great performances. Among others:
4th:
Eben Schumann, Nicole Do.
2nd:
Harry Carey, Sahil Khunt, Najib Osman , Ethan Fuller
1st:
Nate Wilcox, Jason Snodgrass, Navath Nhan
We salute students’ dedication, ambassadorship, and
drive! Well Done.

by May 1st to insure academic credit for this year.
SENIORS
A Senior Meeting will be held on Wednesday, April
29, 2015 during Advisory class. Seniors please report to your advisory classes
for attendance. Your advisory teacher
will tell you what room you should report to for the Senior Meeting. RAHS seniors will receive information about
2015 RAHS Commencement at this meeting.
U. S.
Service Academy Night
Have you considered kick starting your education and
career by applying to a U.S. service academy?
Click on this link to learn how:
Are you interested in
attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) in the future? If so, ERAU is again offering the opportunity for a few students
to visit this summer, all expenses paid—air travel, lodging in the dorms, and
meals. This is a three-day trip in which you get to fly in one of
ERAU’s airplanes, visit classes, and learn more about the various degree
programs that ERAU has to offer. If interested, submit an essay to Ms.
Carper in which you explain your specific interests in both visiting and
attending ERAU in the future—planned major and degree you hope to earn, goals
for career, aspects of their university that interest you. Due date
for essay: FRIDAY, May 8, by 4:00PM to Ms. Carper. Open to freshmen,
sophomores, and juniors.
GLOBAL
SECURITY, AVIATION DISCOVERY, COMPUTER & ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING CAMP- We have a few spots for RAHS
students in these camps, which will be sponsored by Mr. James Raisbeck;
all tuition and fees are covered, including flight to Embry Riddle
Aeronautical University in Arizona. Sophomores and Juniors are target
group, but mature freshmen with teacher recommendation will be
considered. Please do your research on these summer camps, and if
interested, see Ms. Carper for more information. We anticipate
being able to sponsor2 students.
The Purdue program will run from July19-24,
with sessions slated to begin Sunday afternoon and conclude after lunch on
Friday the 24th. Purdue will accept up
to four RAHS students (current juniors) who are highly capable and passionate
about aerospace and aeronautical engineering and eager to move beyond their
current thinking. Students will learn about the disciplines and impacts of
engineering as they work alongside college students and honors college
professors to design rockets for launch and vehicles for recovery. Learning of
math, physics and engineering will be deepened through participation in a
design challenge with interactive workshops. Hands-on learning experiences will
take place in the Zucrow labs, under the direction of Professor Steve Heister,
who visited our school last fall. Purdue staff is committed to designing a
week-long program, tailor-made for RAHS students. To qualify for this unprecedented experience,
please write a minimum 500-word essay in which you (1) share your passion and
goals for pursuing a college and career pathway in engineering, emphasizing why
Purdue is on your list of possible college choices; (2) highlight classes and
experiences that you have already had or are planning to have, that will give
you an exceptional foundation for advanced engineering studies; (3) explain
what the Purdue experience would mean for you, and what specifically you would
like to engage in and learn while there; and (4) add additional information
that you believe may enhance your application. Due Date: Friday, May 8 by 4:00PM to Ms. Carper.
If selected to attend the Purdue
camp, you will fly from Seattle to the Indianapolis Airport, where you will be
picked up by university staff. They will also return you to the airport when
the camp ends on the 24th. While
at camp, you will experience campus life by residing in a dorm, Cary Quad,
which is located right across the street from the Armstrong Hall of
Engineering.
The University of North Dakota’s International Aerospace Camp is a full
week of aviation and adventure that will be offered July 5-12 in Grand Forks, North Dakota, through the highly regarded
John. D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences.
This “college seminar” is similar to attending a week of actual
college. Additionally, what makes this
seminar unique is the amount of flight
training each student receives. UND
is most interested in providing this opportunity to students—six of them from RAHS who will be juniors
or seniors next year or age 16 by time camp starts—who truly want to
experience collegiate aviation. Counselors, flight instructors and professors
are all leaders in aerospace education. Instruction will start with the basics
of flying (which some of you may already know, but a refresher will be a good
thing!) and progress to experiencing new and exciting technologies, and
exploration of career opportunities in flight, air traffic control, aviation
management, and unmanned aircraft systems(UAS).
A passion for flight is a must for this particular camp, along with
interest in attending UND in the future.
To be considered for the UND camp,
first read more about it at
http://www.aviation.und.edu/currentStudents/AEROCAMP/Default.aspx. Then do the following: complete
the application that is included with the link.
Do not submit it to UND, though! Instead, print it and attach to the
essay that you will write! Your essay
should be a minimum of 500 words and address: (1) your passion for flight and
aviation, along with your goals for pursuing a college and career pathway in
aviation as a pilot, air traffic controller, aviation manager, or in the field
of unmanned aircraft systems; (2) the experiences you have had related to your
goals and the classes you have taken, or will take, that are preparing you for
your future; (3) why you are interested in potentially attending UND in the
future; and (4) anything further that you believe may enhance your application.
DUE DATE: Friday, May 8 by 4:00PM to Ms.
Carper.
If
you are accepted to the UND program, you will fly from Sea-Tac Airport to Grand
Forks where you will be greeted by UND staff and transported to the campus.
Return services will also be provided at end of camp. You will stay in a
dormitory and meals will be provided each day.
You should plan to take some spending money for miscellaneous items such
as purchasing a UND sweatshirt, eating a meal at the airport or on the plane,
etc.
Are
you interested in joining RAHS’s very first orienteering team?
Orienteering is a sport that requires
navigational skills using a map and compass to navigate from point-to-point in
diverse and unfamiliar terrain. Competitors are given a topographical map,
which they use to navigate to checkpoints. Orienteering is a sport that
requires the perfect mix of mental and physical ability and is a great way to
earn some PE credits! Also, Orienteering is a winter sport and will be
held from November to February, it is a great way to stay conditioned during
the winter for spring or summer sports. If you are interested in joining an
orienteering team or learning more about it fill out the short survey below or
send an email to lynneac01@gmail.com or dakotalee3@comcast.net.
