Ms. Abby Gross (English)- Ms. Gross graduated from the University of Indianapolis last May with a degree in English Education, with an endorsement in reading and journalism. She will be teaching English 11 American Studies and Jour-nalism, as well as advising our school newspaper, Smoke Signals. “I chose Whiteland because I was offered my “dream job” that combines my two passions for English and Journalism. I never thought I would have the opportunity to teach both and advise a school newspaper until later on in my career, so I felt incred-ibly blessed to receive this position. Besides having a spot that was a perfect fit for me, I chose WCHS because administra-tion was 100% welcoming and caring from the very beginning, even when I was a nervous wreck during my first-ever teach-ing interview!” Ms. Gross is the eldest of five children. Her family lives in Ohio and tried their hardest to get her to move back there. She fell in love with the Indianapolis area and stayed here. “I miss them lots though!” She enjoys playing soccer, working out, reading, shopping, making jewelry, drawing and eating Nutella.

She attended Franklin College, and earned a degree in Secondary Education Social Studies. “My experience at FC was amazing, and further instilled in me the many reasons why I love John-son County. My experiences at FC allowed to me to become a well-rounded and open-minded educator, making me perfect for my position as a JAG Specialist. JAG provides students with several leadership opportunities, career research, and college discovery. I love to see the light bulb moment when kids realize what career path they want to pursue or what col-lege they want to attend.” As previously mentioned, she enjoys her time living in John-son County during her college years at FC, and was hoping to be one day fortunate enough to work somewhere near the area. That is one of the several reasons why Whiteland seemed appealing to her. “Even though Whiteland may have been a rival for me growing up since I attended Center Grove (don’t hold that against me!), I already feel at home in this community. I am looking forward to bringing the same, if not better, successes to the Whiteland JAG program as I have in other JAG programs. Let’s have a great year, JAG!” Mrs. Patricia Munn (Instructional Support)- She is a new Instructional Assistant here at the high school. I am a part of the English team (Mrs. Cecil and Mrs. Due) as well as the Math team (Mrs. Land and Mr. Williams). “Everyone has made me feel very welcome.

FROM WCHS-9

WCHS-9 posts student announcements through My Big Campus and PowerSchool is how you access stu-dent's grades. Anything highlighted and underlined in "blue" will allow you to click and gain more information and/or contact the individual teacher about specific class questions or about your student's progress. If you have additional questions on how to set up your PowerSchool parent account check out the following link: https://powerschool.cpcsc.k12.in.us/public/createaccounthelp.html If you have additional questions, please contact Mrs. Austin (guidance counselor) at 535-3134. What is Guided Instruction? "GI" is your student's 4th period class. It is 40 minutes, 4 days a week (20 min on Wednesdays) where all students can access their teachers for extra help, re-test, study groups, comput-er lab access and the media center. The purpose of GI is first to get extra help from teachers, then have time available to complete homework assignments. If your student says they "don't understand what is going on in class" a parent's first response should be "What do you do during GI?".

The midterm is 8/27/14. All freshmen students failing 2 or more classes as of this midterm date will be placed in an "Intensive Guided Instruction" during 4th period. Students are contained in one classroom to access additional instructional supports in the core subject areas. Students in IGI will not be able to freely choose how to use their time, participate in clubs or related activities normally held during 4th period until their grades improve. Grades are reviewed every 4 1/2 weeks and students may then "graduate" back into their normal GI classroom. IGI placements will begin on 9/3/14.

Finally, Please note page 22 of the student handbook where WCHS's Appearance/School Dress Code is outlined. Please note holes in clothing and the length of shorts must be below a student's extended finger-tips. If you have additional questions, contact Mr. Bechinski, (9th grade Dean of Students) at 535-

EDUCATIONAL SEMINARS: Preparation for the PSAT and SAT

Scheduled At Whiteland Community High School

September 8 & 9 (Monday & Tuesday) Time: 3:30 PM—6:00 PM

Many colleges require an SAT test score as one of the criteria for admission. The PSAT is the basis for the National Merit Scholarship. The SAT and

the PSAT are basically the same test, with an essay section included on the SAT test. We have arranged for a five-hour seminar for your son or

daughter that will allow them to become more familiar with the PSAT/SAT and give them a chance to improve their score. Your son or daughter could

benefit from even a small score increase in the highly competitive college entrance selection process.

While repetitive practice testing is a good method of preparation, there is no substitute for a live, substantive seminar presented by an expert. Experi-

ence shows that students who take our company’s PSAT/SAT seminar achieve an average score increase of 5 to 20 points on the PSAT and an aver-

age score increase of 50 to 200 points on the SAT. Of course, the individual score increase depends on the amount of time and effort that students

spend working with the materials they will receive at this seminar.

The fee for the five-hour seminar is $79.99, a special rate for the school. By comparison, similar seminars may cost over $500 when taken privately.

Included in the seminar price are 18 practice tests and a comprehensive study guide. The essay portion of the SAT tesst will also be covered in this

seminar.

To take advantage of this opportunity you may enroll on-line at www.zaps.com and pay by credit card, or you may register your student to take a

check to the seminar. Alternatively, you may call toll-free 877-927-8378 to enroll.

Students should bring two pencils and a calculator to the seminar. This is a seminar for students of all ability levels. Enrollment is limited so please

register as soon as possible.

Times: 7:25 am-3 pm The summer went fast and now we are back in full swing here at Whiteland High School! Students are chomping at the bit for new books to arrive. Soon they will be here. It is great to see students reading and expanding their imagination, while increasing their vocabulary and comprehension.

We had asked students to read six books over the summer, any book, then write them down and submit it to me. We had a winner! Janelle Moss, was the lucky one who had her name drawn for the winner to a Samsung Galaxy tablet! Thank you to the person who wants to remain anonymous and generously donated the tablet for the prize! Each person was given a small prize for their entry. Look for more contests to spur students into reading and/or learning.

Remember to keep your student reading by providing either magazines of interests, a visit to the public library or read-ing the newspaper together, and talk about what you have read that you find interesting. This skill will help them to achieve success throughout life.

Also, be sure to have them check out our digital library for ebooks! Go to My Big Cam-pus and check out the group: Instructional Media

Center. There is a link provided to the library.

To ALL parents of WCHS students:

Please hold your student(s) accountable for any over-

due library materials.

We DO NOT charge library fees. Therefore, I am

asking for your help. We have students who have overdue

materials and other students would like to read them. Help

us by holding your student accountable for library materials

that are overdue. Also, if you happen to locate a book that

has our barcode on it that has WCHS Library over the top,

please send it back to the school, no questions asked.

If the student has lost the item, the library will

accept a replacement (exact book, same author) since we

DO NOT receive the funds back into the library accounts to

re-purchase. If you have any questions or concerns, feel

free to call me at 535-7562 ext. 3142. Thank you for your

help and support!
