Quote of the Week:

"Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism."

Message From The Principal-

Dear APS Parents

Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year!  We are looking forward to working with your child(ren) this year, providing the best educational experience possible.  We recognize that bullying is an issue of great concern to both parents and students, both at the local and national level.  Last year Aurora Public Schools began a district-wide effort around Bully Prevention.  APS adopted a Bully Prevention approach that works in concert with Positive Behavioral Supports and Interventions (PBIS), which is in place at 39 of our school sites plus Transportation.   The Bully Prevention Campaign is a systematic, district-wide process for dealing with bullying at school sites. 

All students and staff are taught a 3-step process annually to address bullying:

1. STOP:  A universal “stop” signal will be used district-wide.  If bullying occurs, the student being bullied will use the signal and will say, “Stop.” Adults at each site are trained to look for students who are using the signal and assist them.
2. WALK:  The bullied student is encouraged to walk away from the situation, as is the bully.
3. TALK:  If the bullying does not stop with steps 1 and 2, the student will immediately talk to an adult to report the bullying incident.

All staff members were taught the importance of following through once an incident is reported.  Depending on the situation, the adult might deal with the incident directly or report the incident to administration.

Please ask your child about the bully prevention process and the universal hand signal.  Encourage your child to use the process when confronted with a bullying situation.  If your child reports that he or she has used the process to no avail, contact the principal.

Report your concerns to your child’s school or to Aurora Public Schools through one of the following anonymous reporting procedures:

• Online: Go to APS SafeNet at aurorak12.org/about-aps/school-safety/aps-safenet/
• Phone: Call the Safe2Tell tip line at 1-877-542- SAFE
• Text: If you have witnessed a crime, report it via Text-a-Tip by texting your message to 274637 with the subject “DMCS”

We want to ensure you that bullying will not be tolerated in our schools.  Student safety is of the utmost importance to all staff in the Aurora Public Schools.

Sincerely, 

Jinger Haberer

Good Day Hinkley High School.

We are going to have a World Class Year...

Students did you know that Webster defines world class as:

"of or denoting someone with a skill or attribute that puts him or her in the highest class in the world"  Think about it, what skills do you posses that makes you world class?

What's New in the Theatre?

For the past 5 months, Hinkley High School Theatre has been under construction to replace the counter weight rigging system that is used to hang curtains, lighting, and parts of the set for most shows. Parts of the rigging were original from 1963. Due to safety reasons, a grant was given from the state to replace the rigging. Around $250,000 later, the theatre know has a brand new rigging system including; 4 motor assistant battens, 4 new electrical battens, 12 new LED lighting Units. Also the School District painted the entire stage surrounding Black.  Another update was done to the Lighting and Sound Booth. The booth was in despite need of being repainted. The connections that power all of the sound and light equipment  was replaced. New monitors were added for the two computers and the new lighting console. In the end the entire theatre looks very professional and is ready for the extreme talent that Hinkley Students have to offer. So come out and see all Hinkley Productions this YEAR!!!
