The Daily Nonpareil

Construction projects continue in Bluffs schools DENNIS FRIEND Staff Writer dennis.friend@nonpareilonline.com (712) 325-5746

The extensive remodeling at Thomas Jefferson High School should conclude in August, but the work at Abraham Lincoln High School continues. When finished, nearly every inch of the 50-year-old building will have been remodeled.

Work should wrap up in time for the 2011-12 school year.

The former courtyard will become a new main entrance.

Administrative spaces and a library/media center will be built.

The $18 million remodeling and expansion project includes new additions for classrooms, cafeteria and a student commons. Existing classroom wings, restrooms and commons areas will be renovated.

The A.L.H.S.’s mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems will be upgraded, as well.

The facility will use a hybrid geothermal/water source distribution system.

The school also will have new fire alarm, intercom and telephone systems, new doors and exterior windows, a new electronic school sign and a new flagpole and retaining wall.

Earlier phases of the project included a new geothermal heating and cooling system, a new gymnasium, a remodeled field house and auditorium, rebuilt baseball fields, and renovated and expanded tennis courts.

The Longfellow and Rue elementary schools also are at various stages of renovation.

Rue students – who have been at the temporary Ninth Avenue school – will return to Rue for the 2010-11 school year. Longfellow’s about midway through a renovation.

Above, a view of construction at Abraham Lincoln High School looking toward the cafeteria from the old main entrance. The dirt area is where the old courtyard and ramps were located. It will be replaced by student commons area and steps. The $18 million remodeling and expansion project also will bring new additions for classrooms. At right, Rue Elementary School was the first facility in the district to undergo a comprehensive renovation. Students will see the results when they return to the facility at 3326 Sixth Ave. this school year. They spent part of the 2009-10 school year at the Ninth Avenue school, 2912 Ninth Ave., while Rue received a $3.2 million remodel.

The Hoover, Carter Lake and College View elementary schools projects should be completed for the 2011-12 school year.

Students at Rue, 3326 Sixth Ave., spent part of the 2009-10 school year at the Ninth Avenue school, 2912 Ninth Ave., while Rue received a $3.2 million renovation.

They’ll see the results when they return to the Rue facility this school year.

Rue was the first elementary school in the district to undergo a comprehensive renovation as the school district embarked on a six-year plan to improve aging school facilities and the learning environment.

The district goal is to exam-

ine all the elementary school building between now and 2015, correcting all conditions found to be unacceptable. The buildings will be updated or renovated as needed to be sure they all meet at least minimum requirements, like preschool classrooms, handicapped access and drop-off lanes that are both safe and reasonably convenient.

Work will be prioritized based on both need and on the availability of money, since the work will be funded through the one-cent sales tax.

School officials believe the Ninth Avenue school will be put to use for at least five years, since other schools need repair or renovation.

Remodeling at Longfellow

Elementary School began last school year and still continues.

Students will remain at Longfellow while work is done.

Since Pusey Elementary School closed at the end of the 2009-10 school year, students who would have gone to Pusey also will attend Longfellow.

Renovation work has begun at Hoover Elementary School, a $6.6 million project that involves building new additions to the west and the southeast sides; extensive remodeling; new tile, carpeting and fresh paint; and upgrades to the plumbing, electrical and heating and air conditioning systems.

Work began as soon as school let out for the summer.

The target completion date is mid-summer of next year.

Until then, Hoover kindergarten through third-grade students will attend the Ninth Avenue school, and grades four and five will attend Washington Elementary School. Vacating the Hoover facility will allow a complete renovation to proceed as quickly as possible.

The new College View Elementary School and a brandnew Carter Lake Elementary School will open for the 201112 school year. The current 60year-old Carter Lake school will be used for one final year and will be demolished after

the new building opens. Both College View and the new Carter Lake Elementary School buildings will be twostory, three-section schools.

The dysfunctional economy and resulting school funding cuts have not affected district plans to remodel or build new schools. The construction money is separate from other funds and, by law, cannot be used to ease the district deficit. The Revenue Purpose Statement approved by voters in 2008 allows the district to borrow on estimated revenue from the one-cent sales tax through 2029 for specific purposes like building renovation.

Washington Elementary, above, and Gunn Elementary, below will close after the upcoming school year.

Gunn, Washington to close DENNIS FRIEND Staff Writer dennis.friend@nonpareilonline.com (712) 325-5746

Pusey Elementary School closed at the end of the 200910 school year, and students who would have gone to Pusey this year now will attend Longfellow.

After the 2011-12 school year, students attending Washington and Gunn also will say goodbye to their schools.

Officials have estimated the district should save about $340,000 a year for each school, based on average staff costs, utility bills and supply budgets. Each school had a principal, teachers and other staff. The buildings also must be heated, cleaned and maintained.

The buildings also have issues ranging from lack of handicapped access to inadequate heating and air conditioning systems, and the buildings are in areas served by other nearby schools.

Pusey, Gunn and Washington are three of the smallest elementary schools in the Council Bluffs School District.

In the school year just ended, Pusey’s pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade enrollment was listed at 101, Gunn’s at 244 and Washington’s at 274.

Some Washington students will be assigned this year to

Bloomer or Lewis & Clark elementary schools.

Eventually, the remaining Washington students and some Gunn students will be reassigned to Hoover. Other Gunn students and some Bloomer and Hoover students will attend the new College View Elementary School when it opens in the 2011-12 achool year.

The district decided to consolidate by closing the three schools, allowing it to operate fewer schools more efficiently.

The new College View Elementary School will be larger and will meet modern standards.

In addition, there are no other schools in that part of the district, whereas Bloomer Elementary School at 210 S. Seventh St. is about five blocks from Washington Elementary School at 207 Scott St. The Washington and Gunn schools buildings could be sold, leased or repurposed.

Pusey already has a new use. Pusey in May became the

new home of Heartland Therapeutic School when the school board approved a three-year lease to Heartland Family Service. The facility at 147 15th Ave. will be used as “a therapeutic school and for other nonprofit human service activities benefiting the families of Council Bluffs,” according to the agreement.

Heartland Family Service Therapeutic School Director Therese Kortz said, “We put a lot of emphasis on helping children who need emotional and psychological healing. They are students who have major mental health issues like depression, anxiety or ADHD.” Heartland Therapeutic School had occupied the former Lake School facility on Old Lincoln Highway near Iowana Lane but outgrew the facility.

Heartland will lease the Pusey site for $4,215 a month.

The money will go into a district fund for use in other construction and maintenance projects.

Parents or guardians considering the use of the open enrollment option to enroll their children in another public school district in the state of Iowa should be aware of the following: March 1 was the last date for regular open enrollment request for the 2010-11 school year.

Sept. 1 will be the last date for kindergarten open enrollment requests for 2010-11 school year.

March 1, 2011, will be the last date for regular open enrollment requests for the 2011-12 school year.

Sept. 1, 2011, will be the last date for kindergarten open enrollment requests for the 2011-12 school year.

Students who open enroll in grades 9 through 12 will not be eligible to participate in varsity contests and competitions during the first 90 school days of transfer. Contact the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union at (515) 288-9741 or the Iowa High School Athletic Association at (515) 432-2011 regarding eligibility.

Race and ethnicity information is voluntary and collected for the purpose of gathering demographic data.

Homeschool students may open enroll, but the deadline for CPI applications is March 1. Dual enrollment for academics, extra-curricular, and Homeschool Assistance Programs may be available to students open enrolling from one district to another. Students may open enroll for home school without dual enrollment.

Students may qualify for open enrollment after the March 1 deadline for “good cause,” if the applicant meets one or more specific conditions.

They may qualify if there has been a change in the resident district; if they are foreign exchange students; if a district has negotiated with another district to whole

This does not apply to the closing of a building within a district.

Applicants may qualify under the criteria of pervasive harassment, if the applicant qualifies under “good cause” provisions.

A parent or guardian who files for open enrollment after the March 1 deadline and alleges repeated acts of harassment is entitled to a hearing before the resident school board to try to prove that the application should be granted.

There are conditions. The harassment must be specific electronic, written, verbal, or physical acts or conduct toward the student which created a hostile school environment that places the student in reasonable fear of harm to the student’s person or property, has a substantially detrimental effect on the student’s physical or mental health, has the effect of substantially interfering with a student’s academic performance, has the effect of substantially interfering with the student’s ability to participate in or benefit from the services, activities, or privileges provided by a school, and the evidence must show that the harassment is likely to continue despite the efforts of school officials.

An applicant may qualify under the severe health need provision.

The serious health condition has to be properly diagnosed, cannot be short term or temporary and the current district knows of the condition and cannot meet the child’s needs.

Parents are responsible for transporting children open enrolled to another district.

Parents or guardians of open enrollment students whose income falls below 160 percent of federal poverty guidelines are eligible for transportation assistance.

This may be in the form of actual transportation or in the form of a cash stipend.

directly in front of the bus: When most children get off the bus, they cross the street directly in front of the bus. This makes it difficult for the bus driver to see if any children are still in front. In general, parents should instruct children to take five long paces in the direction the bus is traveling before crossing in front of the bus. This will leave enough room for the bus driver to see, especially if kids drop anything while crossing the street. z Look both ways before

neighborhoods or those with a busy intersection often have crossing guards to help keep children safe. Kids should be instructed to wait for crossing guards before venturing across the street. At stops where no crossing guards are present, encourage children to act with extreme caution when crossing the street. Should any books or supplies be dropped in the middle of the road, finish crossing the street first. Once a child has made it across the street, check to see if it's safe to go back and pick up the book. If worse comes to worse, let kids know the books or supplies can always be replaced.

(MS) - When parents of younger children send their kids off to school each morning, it's often not without a little worry.

What mischief will they get into outside of the watchful eyes of Mom or Dad? One type of accident that parents are never prepared for is on the school bus.

Each year, an estimated 33 children across the country are killed in school bus-related accidents.

Such accidents are almost always preventable and require just a few moments of instruction with kids to help save their lives. z Don't walk

“Make sure you have plenty of reading material in your home. Library visits can provide a constant supply of books. Newspapers and magazines can also catch a child’s interest.”

“Give your child plenty of chances to learn by doing. Let her try new things. Give her simple directions to follow.”

“Praise your child’s efforts as well as his accomplishments.”

“Ask your children, ‘What do you think?’, then really listen to the answers.

“Today’s news is history in the making. Watch the evening news together. Talk about cur-

rent events at the dinner table. Choose one or two stories to follow closely. Read more about them in newspapers and magazines.”

“Establish a regular study time. Expect you child to spend some time on schoolwork every day. On days when there are no assignments, your child can read a book for the allotted time.”

“Think about the message you send with your actions.

It’s hard to talk about honesty if you brag about cheating on your taxes. It’s hard to teach the value of human kindness and fairness if you condemn other races or peoples.”

“Talk about school every day. Ask specific questionswhat was the funniest thing that happened today? What

was the hardest thing you did today?”

“In today’s hectic world, families often spend more time apart than together. This is why it is important to devote some individual time to each child every day. In addition, spend time together as a family.”

“Read to or with your children daily. Studies show this is the single most important thing parents can do to help their children achieve. Encourage older children to read to their younger siblings. This way, both are developing a habit of reading while they are forming a special bond.”

Free and reduced price meals eligibility guidelines for students DES MOINES – The Iowa Department of Education, Bureau of Nutrition, Health and Transportation Services, today announces its policy for free and reduced price meals for children unable to pay the full price of meals served under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program and the Afterschool Care Snack Program.

State and local school officials have adopted family size and income criteria for determining eligibility (see chart far below).

Households may apply for free or reduced price meal benefits one of four ways: 1. Households whose income is at or below the levels shown are eligible for free meals or for reduced price meals. Households may complete one application listing all children and return it to your child's school.

2. Food Assistance households and children receiving benefits under the Family Investment Program are eligible for free meals. Most children from Food Assistance and FIP households will be qualified for free meals automatically. These households will receive a letter from their children's schools notifying them of their benefits.

Households that receive a letter from the school need to do noth-

ing more for their children to receive free meals.

3. Some Food Assistance and FIP households will receive a letter from the Department of Human Services which will qualify the children listed on the letter for free meals. Parents must take this letter to the child's school to receive free meals.

4. Food Assistance or FIP households receiving benefits that do not receive a letter from DHS must complete an application for their children to receive free meals.

Only complete applications will be approved by the school.

Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. If a family member becomes unemployed the family should contact the school to complete an application.

In certain cases, foster children are also eligible for these benefits. If a family has foster children living with them and wishes to apply for such meals for them, instructions for making application for such children are contained on the application form. Special Supplement Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children participants may be eligible for free or reduced price meals based on a completed application.

Households with children who are enrolled in the Head Start/Even Start Program or the Migrant Education Program or who are considered homeless or runaway by the school district's homeless liaison should contact the school for assistance in receiving benefits. If households are dissatisfied with the ruling of the officials, they may make a formal appeal either orally or in writing to the school's designated hearing official. The policy statement on file at the school contains an outline of the hearing procedure. School officials may verify the information in the application, and that deliberate misrepresentation of information may subject the applicant to prosecution under applicable State and Federal criminal statutes. Households should contact their local school for additional information.

Non-discrimination Statement: This explains what to do if you believe you have been treated unfairly. To file a complaint of discrimination, write to USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20250-9410, or call (800) 795-3272 (voice) or (202) 7206382 (TTY).

A Note from the Superintendent Welcome to the new school year!

I join the educators, support staff members and board members in the Council Bluffs Community School District in welcoming our students, parents and new colleagues to our educational journey to excellence during the 2010-11 academic year. I especially welcome those students who will be seniors – the Class of 2011 – and I welcome our new kindergarteners – the Class of 2023! It is our mission to guarantee that every student graduates with the skills needed to be successful. We’ve made progress toward that goal, and we promise to continue our trek for improvement.

There are some special aspects to this school year. We continue to expand a new literacy program in every elementary school. Results of the program last year showed new levels of student achievement in several schools. At our high schools, we continue to work together to track each student’s progress throughout four years of high school toward a successful, on-time graduation.

We welcome former Pusey students to Longfellow Elementary School and we welcome Rue Elementary School students back to a beautiful newly-renovated school. We continue work to completely remodel Longfellow and Hoover Elementary Schools and to build new Carter Lake and College View elementary schools. Construction at Thomas Jefferson High School will be complete, and we can see some wonderful improvements already completed at Abraham Lincoln High School.

Kanesville Center will welcome new Early Head Start Preschool classrooms, and more students will attend our Tucker College and Career Center than in many years.

We need the help of all of our community partners to ensure success.

No matter how wonderful our schools become or how many programs we add, students need to be in attendance at school to benefit from school. We’d like the whole community to come together to encourage every student to be in school every day. If every parent, grandparent, employer and neighbor could send the message to our students that they should be on time and in school every day, we would take a giant step toward success. We’re not meeting our mission until we help each child succeed.

BACK TO SCHOOL

The Daily Nonpareil

Plenty of kids skip the bus in favor of walking to school, but parents need to take precautions to ensure their children arrive safely – and it all starts with a firm set of rules.

“Children should be as prepared as possible to handle challenges they may face, especially in regard to safety,” said Susan Conklu, transportation planner for the city of Scottsdale, Ariz. “Just as they do in school, children follow rules best when they’ve been given clear directions on what is

The 2010-11 elementary school hours: Monday: 8:45 a.m. – 1:55 p.m.

Tuesday-Friday: 8:45 a.m. – 3:35 p.m.

Tuesday-Friday: 7:55 a.m. – 2:55 p.m.

expected and why it is important.

This helps set them up for success.”

Discuss the safest route to and from school. Explain the meaning of traffic signals. Help your child understand how important it is to use the “stop, look and listen” approach when crossing streets.

Be certain that your child also knows how to identify and deal with strangers, how to identify safe places, how to use 911 and how to find help if needed, said Timothy Enos, youth

services lieutenant for the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office in Florida.

“Teaching children basic safety rules is fundamental,” Enos said.

“Each child needs an understanding of what to do in order to keep himself safe.”

Before sending them out on their own, practice walking the designated route with your children, and discuss the different challenges they may face. Start early, and practice often.

“Parents should lead by example

and follow the rules that help keep pedestrians safe. Remember, kids are excellent observers,” Conklu said.

Once kids know the rules and have a little practice under their belts, parents can determine whether their children are ready for walking to school without an adult chaperone.

“It’s up to each parent to determine what age is appropriate for a non-chaperoned commute,” said Rhonda Markos, traffic safety specialist for AAA. “We frequently get calls

from parents asking, ‘When is it OK for my child to walk to school on their own?’ Our answer is always the same: When you and your child both feel that you are ready.”

“Every child, parent, journey and community is different,” Markos explained. “There is no legal minimum age at which a child is allowed to walk to school on his or her own. It should be a joint decision between parent and child.”

St. Albert ready for the 2010-11 academic year Discover why Saint Albert Catholic Schools is the best decision and investment you can make for your child.

As we start back to the new school Year 2010-11, we also look ahead to the 50th Graduation Class from Saint Albert Schools in the Year 2015. That would be our current eighth Graders.

The former Saint Francis High, Mount Loretto, and Neola’s St. Joseph High paved the way for the now nearly 50 years of Saint Albert Catholic High School, while Saint Francis, Saint Peter, and Saint Patrick united into our modern day Saint Albert Catholic Elementary School. The combination of all of this history will move ahead as a united program, all housed on the beautiful hilltop at 400 Gleason Ave. in Council Bluffs.

All of this history continues to tell an inspiring story of many generations of parents, grandparents, Bishops, Pastors, and numerous benefactors whose Faith has moved them to make great sacrifices of time, talent, and treasure so families could educate children in a Jesus-centered school system. They clearly responded to the Gospel teaching found in Matthew 19:14: But Jesus said to them, “Let the little children be, and do not hinder them from coming to me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

The Saint Albert Catholic Schools are an educational Mission of the regional Parishes. Students come here to prepare for family foundations and professional careers, but they also come for learning the teachings of Jesus on a daily basis – through classes, through curriculum integrated with the Gospel message, through weekly Masses, through daily prayer and

announcements, through Christian service, through class retreats.

A Jesus-centered education helps students analyze the origins and purpose of life, under which all other learning gains power and meaning. And with this extra sense of direction, started in the home and supported both at Church and school, students are called to a higher level of achievement.

Do they reach that higher level? In 2010, 100 percent of the graduates are enrolled in post-secondary studies (averaging 96 percent over the years). And for those who enroll in college, 91 percent complete their associates or bachelor’s degrees within three and five years, respectively, compared to 28 percent in Iowa and 25 percent nationally.

At Saint Albert Catholic Schools, students balance their outstanding academic achievement with a wellrounded program of co-curricular activities in the art, math, sciences, music, theater, athletics, and mission events.

And, for the first time during the 2009-10 School Year, the Sheryl K. Johnson Child Care Center has been educating children from 6 weeks old until age 3. Then the Pre-K 3 and Pre-K 4-year old programs take over to lay a solid foundation for Kindergarten, and the progression continues until graduation from high school. The greatest investment a family can make occurs through this quality, faith-filled journey that sets up a lifetime of learning and of joining our founders, graduates, and current benefactors in passing on the treasure of the Saint Albert Catholic Schools for the next generation and many more to come!

Tax-free holiday WHAT IS AND WHAT ISN’T TAX-FREE set for Aug. 6-7 T=Taxable, E=Exempt

Moving through the month of July makes it clear summer is ticking by – and hopefully reminds us to make the most of the summer days that remain.

Recognizing that we’re at least halfway through summer vacation can be a prompt to start thinking about back-toschool planning. While you may not need to shift into high gear yet, planning ahead is always beneficial.

In Iowa, as in many states, there is an annual Sales Tax Holiday – two days in which NO sales tax is charged on most purchases of clothing and selected footwear. The 2010 Iowa Sales Tax Holiday is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, Aug. 6 and 7.

On those two days, most ordinary clothing items priced under $100 qualify for the sales tax exemption – not just for school children but for all family members. Many retailers offer sale prices that weekend as well, increasing your total savings. For all the details, check out the official website: http://www.iowa.gov/tax/educate/holiday1.html In the week between now and Aug. 6-and 7, you can prepare in two key ways: 1) Identify what items you might need and want to purchase.

2) Start saving money! If

you don’t save now, you may end up using credit. Use of credit can turn a “bargain” into a bank-breaker, with interest charges adding up to much more than the 7 percent or so that you saved on sales tax!

As you plan and save, be sure to consider other back-toschool spending needs if you have school-age children, including school registration fees, school supplies, haircuts, and more. Planning ahead helps you avoid being put in the difficult position of having to choose between paying the bills and buying the needed school supplies.

Keep in mind the Sales Tax Holiday is a great way to save a bit – but it’s not a reason to buy items that are not needed.

Although sales tax rates vary by locality in Iowa, most are around 7 percent. If you buy $200 worth of clothing, you will save $14. That’s a nice savings, but it’s not a reason to buy things you really don't need.

For more personal finance information, check out Iowa State University Extension’s resources at www.extension.iastate.edu/fina nces/.

With specific questions, contact Mary Beth Kaufman, ISU Extension Family Resource Management Program Specialist at (712) 755-3104 or mbkaufma@iastate.edu.

Start the year right A few simple steps help students prepare for future WEST DES MOINES – The beginning of a new school year brings with it familiar emotions for most high schoolers excitement to get reacquainted with friends, dread of early mornings, anxiety about new teachers and challenging classes.

Those planning for the first years after high school can add a comfortable feeling of preparedness with a few simple steps, say experts from the Iowa College Access Network.

“Being prepared gives you a feeling of confidence,” said Lupe Hernandez, senior outreach representative at ICAN. “If you have plans for college or a career but aren't sure what you need to do, taking those first steps helps you get more comfortable with the process and realize it’s really not that hard.”

Meet with the school counselor. Although most students have had some input on their class schedule, it’s good to meet with the school counselor at the beginning of the year, said Hernandez.

“It’s important to share or even define your academic goals. Then you can see how close you are to meeting those and what you need to do this year and during the rest of high school.”

Hernandez suggested that students create a list of questions for the school counselor, including the courses they need to take to graduate and the classes they need for any college or career plans.

Get involved outside the classroom. Being active in extracurricular activities, like sports, clubs, volunteering or part-time jobs, helps students in a variety of ways. Sports and clubs can provide leadership

skills and improve self-esteem as students become more comfortable working as part of a group and taking on new roles.

Volunteering and jobs can offer real-life work experience as students see how well they like working in different fields.

Extracurricular involvement also helps build a solid activities portfolio that students can use for scholarship and college admission applications.

“As long as you find something you like to do, not necessarily what all your friends are doing, the benefits of involvement can help you throughout your life,” said Hernandez.

Organize and manage.

Some of the most beneficial skills students can learn in high school are time management and organization, Hernandez said.

“Every employer wants people who can prioritize, work efficiently and meet goals. The keys to those are good time management and being organized.”

Hernandez recommended a planner or electronic organizer to keep track of assignments, activities and important dates and deadlines for the school year. The planner will help students set and stick to a schedule so they aren’t scrambling at the last minute to complete a project or study for a major test.

The Daily Nonpareil

Live organized When trying to figure out how to fit all of your worldly possessions into a small space, remember these simple tips: ■ Stack it. Add colorful totes on top of shelves to keep things neat and organized while also adding a pop of color throughout your space.

■ Stow it. Look for pieces that multitask like a storage ottoman that provides storage and seating space and even has a lid that when turned upside down doubles as a table or lap desk.

■ Hang it. Make your closet work for you. First, use the same type of hanger to create uniformity. Select a set of Razor thin hangers that are made from eco-friendly recycled ABS plastic, and have an ultra slim design to save space.

Then use a double hang closet rod that you can adjust horizontally and vertically to find the right fit for what you need.

Simply hang on your existing closet rod and – voila, you now have twice the space. Then use the additional space to create shelving. Use gearbox organizers and choose a 6 shelf for clothing or 10 shelf for shoes and accessories.

■ Hide it. Start under the bed by attaching a set of bed lifts to the bottom of your bedposts to gain up to 7 inches of storage space. Use underbed bags to store items you don’t need to access all the time, including off-season clothing, extra bedding and shoes.

Tips to do from dorm room drab to college fab

With a little help, college students can transform their dorm room from drab to fab in a few easy steps.

– Metro Creative Connection

Metro Creative Connection

Four white walls, a closet and, if you’re lucky, a desk ... welcome to your new home, college students. As dreary as a dorm room can seem, a few simple steps can easily transform that drab dorm room into a space you’ll want to come home to in a few easy steps.

■ Don’t “Bare” with it. Bare walls and floors don’t increase the cozy factor. Start with an area rug to add a focal point in the room while providing the creature comforts of home to bare feet. Next consider your walls, choose wall art that doesn’t require mounting with a hammer and nails (a no-no in most dormitories). Consider a set of three dry erase “wall pops” that peel and stick and can be moved to change them up on a whim.

■ Make the bed (really, really comfy). Layer in the comfort to take the standard issue dorm bed to the next level! Since you won’t know where your mattress has been, encase it in an Entomologist lab tested and recommended Allergy Luxe bed bug mattress protector to keep the bed bugs at bay. Then smooth out the lumps and bumps with a mattress topper of your choice, be it feather, fiber or foam.

■ Bedding is the biggest decor bang for the buck. When searching for bedding, first find out if your new bed is twin extra long, a slightly longer twin bed size which is commonly found in dorm rooms. Since the bed is typically the biggest decor piece in the room, it’s the easiest way to make a statement. This year, affordable fashion bedding options abound from flirty floral designs to bold bright colors for girls, to masculine stripes and plaids or solid reversible sets for guys. Nautica takes the popular cotton jersey knit a step further in their “Glen Cove” set that includes a jersey knit comforter.

Most popular majors for college students Each year, college students across the country face the difficult decision of choosing a major. Some schools allow students to choose a major at their own pace while others require students to pick a major freshman year.

Though students are known to change their majors from time to time, according to the Princeton Review, a resource to help students, parents and educators achieve the best results at every stage of their educational careers, the following 10 majors are the most popular among the nation's college students.

1. Business Administration and Management/Commerce 2. Psychology 3. Nursing 4. Biology/Biological Sciences 5. Education 6. English Language and Literature 7. Economics 8. Communications Studies/Speech Communication and Rhetoric 9. Political Science and Government 10. Computer and Information Sciences Though these majors are popular, the Princeton Review notes they are not necessarily the majors that garner the most demand in the job market, particularly in the current economy. When choosing a major, it's best for students to choose a field that interests them, regardless of how popular or potentially lucrative that field might be.

Time management tips for busy college students

Metro Creative Connection

Time management is a skill all college students must learn to ensure their success. comes first. Keep school and school-related activities high on the list of priorities.

■ Don’t over-extend. Many students love college for the very reason that there is so much to do. In an effort to ensure all students make the most of their college experiences, colleges and universities provide many different avenues by which students can express themselves and become a part of the college community’s fabric. However, with all those activities, it’s easy for college kids to go overboard and over-commit themselves. Attempting to do too much can lead to feelings of stress and burnout, often resulting in poorer academic performance. When managing time, college students should schedule some daily time to relax and take a breather.

■ Keep a planner. Daily planners might seem very adult, but they’re also very practical. Students with academic, extracurricular and social commitments should write things down in a daily planner to help keep their heads from spinning. Larger things like midterm exams or research papers don’t need to be included in a daily planner.

But smaller details that tend to get lost in the shuffle should be written down to help students stay on track and make the most of all of their commitments.

■ Stay as flexible as possible. While today’s busy college students might scoff at the suggestion they stay flexible, flexibility is an important element of time management.

Few plans ever go off without a hitch, no matter how well planned they are. Something unexpected tends to pop up around every corner. By remaining flexible with their time, students are putting themselves in positions to better handle these unexpected surprises, be it a sickness, a computer crash, car troubles, etc.

E-readers are palm-sized electronic devices that can offer newspapers, magazines and books as digital content. While they can be convenient for the recreational reader, e-books may be a boon to students as well.

The e-reader market exploded when Amazon introduced its Kindle and Kindle 2.

Sony, Barnes & Noble and other companies have also introduced their own e-reader devices. While the mainstay of e-reader revenue is generated from downloaded fiction and nonfiction books, e-book reader companies are realizing the benefits of offering digital versions of textbooks as well. Amazon has already contracted with three textbook companies to offer digital editions. This could mark the move from cumbersome textbooks to compact information.

Many professors already instruct their students to go online for information, to read blogs or download digital content from Web sites capable of staying current in today’s increasingly fast news cycle.

Soon they may be instructing them to purchase the latest editions of textbooks delivered right to an e-reader device.

There are several advantages to having textbook material available for e-readers. The first, and most obvious, is the weight issue. The average college student takes 5 classes per semester. That can equal 5 or more textbooks to purchase, each weighing several pounds.

A student has the potential to be carrying 50 pounds on his or her back at any given time, and that can lead to injury. In comparison, most e-readers weigh just a few ounces and can hold

a thousand books or more, depending on file size. A student can carry all of the required textbooks right in a back pocket.

The next advantage is cost.

While e-readers require an upfront cost of roughly $300, some textbooks can cost as much.

Although the cost of textbook material delivered to an ereader is still unknown, and likely based on the individual publisher, it may be more affordable than on-campus book store prices. Also, should a traditional textbook be lost, a student has to repurchase it.

Many e-readers feature backup ability, where a previously purchased book can be retrieved free from a database or storage device.

Convenience is another factor for e-books. Students simply browse wirelessly for their desired reading and download it in mere minutes. This is certainly more time-efficient than waiting on long lines at the campus bookstore or waiting for books to be delivered through the mail from online sources.

E-readers have the potential to be successful for school use, but they need to have the support of professors behind them.

For a device like e-readers to garner broad acceptance, institutions may need to make the devices part of the school’s requirements. This is similar to many schools requiring all students own a laptop. Students who are unable to afford an ereader may be subsidized for the device or be able to use student loans to pay for them.

E-readers can be advantageous in the classroom and students can also use them for their own personal purposes.

ON THE CLOCK Today’s college students are busier than ever before.

Tuition hikes and higher cost of living has forced many college students to work part-time jobs in addition to their full-time jobs as students.

In addition to the need to work, college students are also embracing extracurricular activities in an attempt to make themselves stand out in an increasingly competitive postcollege job market.

While that ability to multi-task might one day prove attractive to prospective employers, it’s an ability many students must learn. Time is often a commodity for college students, and managing time effectively can make the difference between a successful student and one who is overwhelmed by stress.

■ Learn to prioritize. For some college students, the weekend is the ultimate priority. Though this might be a recipe for fun, it’s not a recipe for success.

Prioritizing both academic and social commitments is a very important step for students looking to manage time more effectively.

First and foremost, school should be a student’s top priority.

After studies, it’s up to a student to choose what’s the next most important priority. This is often very difficult, as colleges typically offer a bevy of activities to students. Socializing is an important aspect of college life, but students must be careful not to place socializing too far up the totem pole of their priorities. When prioritizing, it’s best to keep in mind education

PLANNING THE FUTURE

Some careers might be recession-proof

The right education could lead to a job DENNIS FRIEND Staff Writer dennis.friend@nonpareilonline.com (712) 325-5746

The troubled economy has prompted many students today to do a little homework even before they go to college.

“We’ve seen a significant increase in students,” Ryan Larsen of Iowa Western Community College said. Larsen, the assistant director of administration said, “More students have done the research and know which fields have openings today.”

The students are signing up to focus on the areas of computer science, sports medicine, criminal justice, education, business and marketing and pre-health care at the two-year college.

“These jobs are in demand,” Larsen said, and many of the students use the less-expensive two-year community college to launch their educations, transferring later to a four-year college to complete their education.

“We get a lot more traditional students because the tuition’s cheaper, but we still get non-traditional students” hoping to improve their skill sets and job opportunities,” Larsen said.

“Our transfer numbers are up, but our career and tech programs are also up,” he said.

Larsen specifically cited the IWCC nursing, dental hygiene, dental assistant and surgical technology programs as programs experiencing growth because of increasing demand.

Increasing demand for health care practitioners as baby-boomers age prompted Iowa Western Community College to build its Nursing Center of Excellence, Larsen

The program soon will have a fully-equipped $4.6 million center that will look and work like a hospital.

Students will be able to move patients from ambulances into the simulation center, which will include lifelike mannequins that allow students to practice procedures on patients and to learn how to work in medical situations.

A fully equipped simulation center will include a triage area, birthing rooms and 16 bays.

The new nursing center will include more than 31,000 square feet of space, with four surgery tech classrooms, 10 simulator classrooms, a library, debriefing rooms an EMT training room and a medical assisting lab.

Nationwide, a number of

new

reports on job and salary growth show degrees involving engineering, computer science, accounting and management currently are in demand.

Engineering careers reported salary growth for graduating seniors. That included mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering and electrical engineering. Bachelor’s degrees are typically considered the minimum requirement for entry into engineering careers.

Students with a degree in computer sciences should have good job prospects. Bachelor’s degrees are the recommended minimum educational requirement, though associate’s degrees and certificate programs may be appropriate for entry-level technicians.

According to the federal Bureau of Labor, statistics hardware and software engineers should see high job growth.

Accounting degrees are available from certificate programs to advanced degrees for high-level research.

There should be good growth potential, since accounting graduates can be found working as financial managers, payroll clerks, budget analysts, and in many other businesses.

Many businesses seek to hire people who have management degrees, and organization and communication skills can be an asset to any management candidate.

Those degrees are available from certificate programs to the MBA, the standard for many upper-level management positions.

In light of the global economic downturn that began in late 2008 and continues to make its presence felt well into 2010, many of the nation’s college students are wondering which fields might prove recession-proof down the road.

While there are no guarantees when it comes to employment, a recent survey by Forbes magazine found that the health care industry is the most solid at offering careers with job security. In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2010 witnessed continued job growth within the health care industry, adding another 27,000 jobs.

Arguably no job proved more recession-proof than that of registered nurse. Of course, today’s college students and even recent college grads should know that America has experienced a nationwide shortage of registered nurses.

While that's good news for nurses currently looking for work, it is unknown whether the nursing shortage will last or that nursing will remain a field where opportunity abounds. Still, nursing and residential care facility hires totaled 9,000 in March 2010, accounting for one-third of all health care industry hires that month.

Tomorrow’s financial advisors might also be looking at bright futures. In spite of the economy, financial advisors figure to be in high demand. Economists note that companies that suffered during the economic downturn might be in need of financial help to assist them and ensure they can survive the next recession. So in spite of a sometimes negative public perception of the financial industry stemming from the economic downturn, the need for financial professionals will likely grow stronger post-recession.

Another industry that figures to continue growing in spite of the recession is the computer software industry.

As companies increasingly embrace technology to perform more complex functions, graduates with a background in computer systems, including those who majored in Computer Information Systems, can expect their forecast to remain very good and salaries to continue being among the most attractive.
