Illinois Youth Survey
Harter Middle School News | Posted JAN 24 2012
The Center for Prevention Research and Development at the University of Illinois is conducting a statewide survey of Illinois middle and high school students. The purpose of the Illinois Youth Survey is to better understand Illinois youth risk and protective behaviors as they related to student problems and academic success.
If your child participates, he/she will be asked to complete a survey (with no names or identification numbers) that will be confidentially administered by a classroom teacher, counselor, or community member who has received training on survey administration. The survey is completely voluntary and privacy will be strictly protected and will be administered to students in sixth and eighth grade students. On February 16 and 17, 2012, students will be given either a paper and pencil survey in their homeroom and it will last about between 45-50 minutes. If there are any questions your child does not wish to answer, he/she is free to skip questions and they may stop taking survey at any time they choose. Students who do not wish to participate in the survey or stop participating or whose parents choose to deny permission for their participation will be provided with an appropriate alternative activity (e.g. reading in the school library or quiet reading) while the surveys are being administered. The staff handing out surveys will remind students of these rights before the survey begins.
If you have any questions about the survey, please contact your grade level counselor.

Mix-it-Up Week January 23-27
Harter Middle School News | Posted JAN 19 2012
A national campaign launched by Teaching Tolerance a decade ago, Mix It Up at Lunch Day encourages students to identify, question and cross social boundaries. During the week of Jan. 23-27, Harter Middle School will encourage students to interact with different groups, accept each other for who they are and accept each other’s differences. During the week, students in their Quest period will be given a survey, an article to read and a video to watch about tolerance. On Thursday, January 26th, Quest homerooms will divide up and complete a tolerance activity. Studies have shown that interactions across group lines can help reduce prejudice. When students interact with those who are different from them, biases and misperceptions can fall away. More information can be found about the national movement at www.teachingtolerance.org or by contacting your grade level counselor.
