Anthony (TJ) Hilsinger hired as Bancroft-Rosalie Industrial Technology teacher

T.J. Hilsinger will be returning to Bancroft-Rosalie School next year as the Industrial Technology teacher. TJ is a Bancroft-Rosalie graduate, class of 2003. He has been the Industrial technology teacher at Lyons-Decatur Northeast since 2006, serving as Assistant Football and Head Varsity Track coach.

TJ graduated from Wayne State College in 2006 with a Bachelor of Science degree  and will graduate with a Masters Degree from Wayne State College in May 2013. Tj and his wife Danielle (also B-R class of 2003) live at 1662 31 Road, Rosalie, NE.

TJ is taking over the program from Rob Smith who has decided to become a local businessman with the purchase of Ru-de's Mart in Bancroft. Next year TJ will be teaching Drafting, Advanced woods, General Technology (Powerdrive), 7-8 grade Industrial Tech, and a new class- Electricity and Robotics, replacing Principles of Technology. TJ will also teach computer applications for Mrs. Nolting next year so that she can provide technical assistance on a data collection and data use pilot project through the Nebraska Department of Education.

TJ will coach junior high football and sponsor the Powerdrive team. We are also considering starting a SkillsUSA chapter at Bancroft-Rosalie School with TJ serving as the sponsor. SkillsUSA is the Industrial Technology equivalent of an FFA.

"Bully" to be shown to grades 10-12 today

As part of the Bancroft-Rosalie School Positive Behavior Intervention Support program, students will be discuss bullying. The discussion will center around the documentary film "Bully." Today grades 10-12 will watch the documentary. Later it will be shown to grades 5-9. The film does have some bad language and one of the victims of bullying is gay. Parents and students can decide not to view the film if they choose. The film is rated PG-13 and we feel it is appropriate for students who will be viewing it.

The following is a description of the "Bully."

This year, over 13 million American kids will be bullied at school, online, on the bus, at home, through their cell phones and on the streets of their towns, making it the most common form of violence young people in this country experience. BULLY is the first feature documentary film to show how we've all been affected by bullying, whether we've been victims, perpetrators or stood silent witness. The world we inhabit as adults begins on the playground. BULLY opens on the first day of school. For the more than 13 million kids who'll be bullied this year in the United States, it's a day filled with more anxiety and foreboding than excitement. As the sun rises and school busses across the country overflow with backpacks, brass instruments and the rambunctious sounds of raging hormones, this is a ride into the unknown. For a lot of kids, the only thing that's certain is that this year, like every other, bullying will be a big part of whatever meets them at their school's front doors. ...

Striving For Student Growth and Excellence

The Bancroft-Rosalie staff used yesterday's early dismissal to work on revising the school mission statement and beliefs. The group decided that "Striving For Student Growth and Excellence" is our school mission. Five belief statements were developed. - All students can learn - Students learn best in a positive, safe environment - Students must be prepared to compete and excel in a digital age - Students’ individual needs must be met - Students need relevant skills in diverse opportunities Other belief statements may be added later. The mission statement and beliefs will be presented to the school board at the May board meeting.

Nebraska School Activity Association rule changes for 2013-14

There are two changes which will impact Bancroft-Rosalie School next year, the 40 point rule in basketball and two preliminary rounds in district speech. 40-Point, Running Clock Rule A running clock will be used for all regular season games and tournaments and all NSAA sub district, district, and state tournament games whenever a 40-point differential in score is reached after the first half of play. The clock will run continuously except at the following times: During a called time-out; during a break between the third and fourth quarters; and for safety reasons, such as injuries, the clock will re-start with the procedure that would normally re-start these instances. Once the 40-point differential is reached, normal clock operating and time procedures will not be resumed even if the point differential falls below 40 points. District Speech All contestants will compete in two preliminary rounds. Preliminary round sections will each be evaluated by a single judge. The top six contestants in each event will advance to a final round, which will be evaluated by two judges.Judges will be hired for a district contest by the NSAA.
