We will be decorating baked goods which will be sold the next day, Friday, 10/4/24 as a club fundraiser. All are welcome and, if possible, bring undecorated baked goods which we will decorate--you may drop them off at the beginning of the day in the library/media center. Ms. Wilder will supply the icing and sprinkles. Refreshments will be provided so "come for the snacks, stay for the crafts!" Have questions? Stop in to see Ms. Wilder or email her at wilderk@goshenlocalschools.org if you have any questions.

• 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

• 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.

Every Wednesday, the College and Career Readiness Department will send a “Where To Wednesday” newsletter.

• Attention seniors and parents/guardians of seniors! Are you applying to college or considering that college could possibly be the pathway for you? If yes, then make sure to read the following information!

As we understand that this can be a very overwhelming process, we have all of the presented information in one comprehensive document. Please use the link below to access this document to help you as you navigate this process. Remember that we are also here to answer any questions that you have as you go through senior year.

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.
