The Press-Dispatch Wednesday, Februar y 21, 2018 C-9 EAST GIBSON NEWS Submit school news: Email: egnews@ pressdispatch.net Deadline: Noon on Friday SAFETY DRILLS With the recent tragedies that have occurred in our nation's schools, the Wood Memorial students and staff have been spending time the past two weeks conducting safety drills focused on the possibility of an intruder en- tering our buildings. Prac- ticing the Run – Hide – Fight approach is allowing us to educate ourselves around how we can remain safe and minimize any potential damage that may be caused during this type of event. While it is our hope that we will never have to deploy our safety strategy, and da- ta says it is very unlikely we will, preparation is nec- essary to ensure our stu- dents, and staff have the in- formation they need to make the best possible decisions during such an event. I am proud of the focus everyone has provided to our drills. Further, we have engaged the expertise of the Indiana State Police, former Oak- land City Chief of Police Alec Hensley, and the East Gibson School Resource Officer Eric Walker, to as- sist us with a gap analysis of our safety plan. ISP Sar- gent Todd Ringle will be ad- dressing students and staff during the week of February 19, 2018. ISTEP BEGINS The first round of ISTEP testing is just a week away, with February 26, 2018 serv- ing as the first day of assess- ments. Students in grades 7, 8, and 10 will be admin- istered the ISTEP test be- ginning on February 26 and running through March 8, 2018. Instructors have en- gaged state provided prac- tice assessments to assist with student preparation. MAKE UP DAYS In order to make up the five (4) days of missed school, due to the recent winter weather, our schools will be in session on the following dates: Monday, April 2; Wednesday, May 23; Thursday, May 24; Fri- day, May 25. The second se- mester is now scheduled to end on May 25. WM INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Internship opportunities are available for Wood Me- morial sophomore and ju- nior students through the Conexus Advanced Manu- facturing program launched last fall. Individuals may earn more than $2,000 during the six (6) week in- ternship. For more informa- tion, contact the Wood Me- morial High School Student Services (Counseling) of- fice. WM BREAKFAST CLUB Mr. Messmer is planning to launch the "Wood Memo- rial Breakfast Club" in the near future. The club will meet twice a week, on Tues- day and Thursday morn- ings, from 6:30 a.m. – 7:30 a.m. in the weight barn. The focus will be on providing a structured strength and fit- ness training club for those who want to better them- selves physically. No pri- or athletic experience is re- quired, as Mr. Messmer will be providing proper form and safety instruction to those participating. Information is being sent home through the respec- tive student. Parent approv- als and signatures are re- quired in order for a student to take part in this healthy opportunity. Please contact Mr. Mess- mer with questions and in- formation needs. OPEN OFFICE SESSIONS Once again this year, I will be utilizing a collab- orative opportunity for all members – students, staff, parents, guardians, and community members – of the Wood Memorial School Community. With this said, I believe to be most effective with the de- velopment and growth of our students it is impera- tive that every stakeholder of Wood Memorial have an opportunity to collaborate and provide input in any area/aspect of interest in- volving our school(s) they may have. Thus, I will con- duct monthly "Open Of- fice" sessions, focused on providing time for such col- laboration to occur. I encourage you to come meet anytime to review items of interest you may have. You may schedule a meeting by calling 812-749 - 4757 and requesting a time. In keeping with the theme of collaboration and communication, I want to invite Wood Me- morial stakeholders to fol- low the happenings at the junior high and high school by joining us on twitter at WMTrojans1.
