• Attention Juniors! PSAT/NMSQT testing is coming soon to those who would like to sign up. Read the following information below carefully as this test can be an important scholarship opportunity! We will have building wide testing on Tuesday, October 8th. On this date, all juniors will be taking the practice ACT but you can choose to take the PSAT instead as participating in the PSAT as a junior allows you to be considered for the National Merit Scholarship program. Juniors who perform at a high level (in the top bracket of national scores) on the PSAT/NMSQT are automatically entered into consideration for the National Merit Scholarship program. If you are identified as a semifinalist by College Board based on your PSAT score from junior year, you are then offered an opportunity to complete an application which could potentially allow you to qualify as a National Merit Finalist, which can mean significant scholarship opportunities for college. In order to qualify for this program, students must be a junior in high school and take the PSAT on October 8th. Juniors interested in taking the PSAT in order to attempt to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship program MUST EMAIL their school counselor (Mrs. Royal royalk@goshenlocalschools.org for last names A-K or Mrs. Mantz mantzk@goshenlocalschools.org for last names L-Z) in order to be added to this testing list no later than Friday, September 27th. All other juniors on October 8th will be taking a practice ACT test, so if you do not email a request to take the PSAT then you will automatically be on the list to take the practice ACT. Please go to the following website to learn more about the PSAT/NMSQT. You can click on "Why Take the PSAT" to learn more information about all the benefits of taking the PSAT as well as more information about the National Merit Scholarship Program. https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/psat-nmsqt

• Junior Prom Committee: We welcome any junior to be a part of the Prom Committee. We are in charge of throwing Prom 2025 this coming May for the senior class! As a part of the Prom Committee, you will help fundraise, attend some meetings throughout the year, help come up with design ideas and themes for prom--and set up for prom on the morning of the dance (May 9). Our first meeting will be next Monday, September 16 at 2:35 at the end of the school day. If you attend the Oaks or are in college classes off campus, you can still be a part of the Prom Committee! Let us know if you have any questions, and we hope to see lots of you here Monday afternoon! All are welcome from the class of 2026!!! ~Mrs. Mantz and Mrs. Royal

• SENIOR Warrior Up Presentation: Please use the link below to access the information that was discussed today during our senior meeting during Warrior Up. This document has several links with important information that you all need to check out. Senior Information Sheet from Warrior Up 9/11/24 As mentioned last week, guidance will have another senior meeting next Wednesday, 9/18, that will be specifically about the college application process. If you plan to apply to college or even think there is a potential that you might apply to college then this meeting is extremely important! If you are not able to attend (i.e. you are involved with Leap tutoring during Warrior Up, you attend the Oaks or CCP, etc.), don't worry, we will share the information after the meeting and can answer any of your questions afterwards.

• Crafters Club: Introducing GHS’s newest after-school opportunity: “Crafters’ Club”: An organizational meeting has been set up for Thursday, 9/19/24 in the Library Media Center immediately after 7th period until 3:30 PM. Bring thoughts of what projects you’d like to do as well as ideas for activities you’d like to show and share with others. Snacks will be provided plus meet and get to know other GHS students in an informal setting Have questions? See Ms. Wilder in the Library Media Center.

• The Help Center: Located in the main office, the Help Center offers students access to free personal care products such as deodorant, feminine hygiene products, toothpaste and more. Whenever you need something, feel free to stop by. The Help Center is sponsored by Random Acts of Kindness.

• Business Professionals of America (BPA): Business Professionals of America is a new club at Goshen High School! If you are a current or future business student this year please participate in our organization after school on Mondays in room A127. This meeting is to discuss opportunities for current and future business students in areas of business competitions and service.

• Free Breakfast/Lunch and Fee Waiver: We’re excited to remind you that all Goshen students can receive a free healthy breakfast and lunch at school this year. There’s no need to pay or fill out any forms. This is made possible through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) of the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program, which allows schools with high poverty rates to offer free meals to all students. Important: If you want to apply for fee waivers for other school fees, you must fill out the benefits application. You can find the waiver form here: The school fee waiver form may be found here. We know students do their best when they’re well-fed, and we’re happy to help ease some of the financial challenges families face. We’re thrilled to offer this benefit to the entire Goshen community!

Cell Phones: House Bill 250, which was signed into law by Governor DeWine, limits the use of cell phones and other wireless devices in our schools. Goshen Local Schools agrees with the research behind HB250 and with limiting the distractions that cell phone use creates for our students. With that in mind, below are the proposed changes to our cell phone practices and student handbook policies for the 2024-2025 school year, pending Board approval. Students are permitted to have cell phones on campus. Students are not permitted to use phones during class time or to take phones to the restroom. The expectation is for cell phones and wireless earbuds/headphones/AirPods to be put away and silenced in the classroom unless documented in IEP/504 or for documented health concerns. Students may access their devices before school, during lunch, and after school. To ensure compliance with these guidelines, the following consequences will be enforced:

Consequence for violating cellphone guidelines

• 1st offense (Classroom) - warning provided and parent contacted by teacher

• 2nd offense (Strike 1 in Office) - phone sent to office, parent contacted, and student can pick up phone from office at the end of the day

• 3rd offense (Strike 2 in Office) - phone sent to office, device must be picked up by the parent/guardian, and conversation is had about the repercussions if a student earns Strike 3.

• 4th offense (Strike 3 in Office) - phone sent to office, device must be picked up by the parent/guardian, and the device is not permitted to return to the school building for a designated amount of time up to and including the rest of the school year.

• Chronic abuse of cell phone privileges will result in appropriate disciplinary measures up to and including suspension from school.
