Junior high school students will be administered lesson plans through the end of the semester. The policy for earning a final exam exemption may be find in the 2017 – 2018 Wood Memorial High School student hand- book, which is located on the Eventlink tool. Regarding high school student dismissals, dur- ing the final exam peri- od, students are to arrive at school at the regular 8 a.m. time for Monday, December 18, with the departure schedule also per regular timing of 3:10 p.m. Students who have earned the opportunity to opt out of two exams are expected to be on campus 15 minutes prior to their first final, on Tuesday, and Wednesday (Decem- ber 19 and 20). Those in- dividuals opting out of a fi- nal may only leave, follow- ing their last final of the day, with parental authori- zation (note and sign out). Beginning with arrival on campus, a student will not be allowed to depart until their last final of the day is completed. Note: Students must re- main in their respective classroom until the peri- od of time scheduled for a final exam has ended. First semester grades are to be posted by no lat- er than noon on Friday, January 5, 2018, with re- port cards being issued on Tuesday, January 9, 2018, during period 7. Individ- uals with questions may contact the respective in- structor. PSAT results from the fall of 2017 have been re- ceived and have been dis- tributed to students. Any- one with questions around the interpretation of the information may contact Ms. Hill or Ms. Carlton, in the student services de- partment. Wood Memorial's soph- omore students taking the exam, had 38 % of students attain both benchmarks, for math and English, as compared to 36 % of Indi- ana students statewide. TEXTBOOK AND STUDENT FEES Invoices for open text- book and student fees were distributed on Wednesday, November 15, 2017. If you are unable to pay the fees currently, please contact me at the high school office and we will work out a plan for you. Fees must be paid in full in order to be able to attend the upcoming Christmas dance, as well as prom. Please contact the high school or junior high school office regard- ing any questions you may have. 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 collaboration 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 Memori- al stakeholders to follow the happenings at the ju- nior high and high school by joining us on twitter at WMTrojans1.
