Reiter, Principal Most Thursdays during advisor/advisee time the entire student body gathers in the auditorium for community homeroom. As part of our ongoing efforts to encourage students to continue their education after high school, staff members have been telling their educational stories at that time. Many presentations are accompanied by a short video clip from the KnowHow2GO website. KnowHow2GO is a campaign to encourage students to prepare for college. My educational story is below. Others will be published in future issues . The culture of my family was such that there was never any doubt I would go to college. When I was in first grade I assumed I would attend Yale because their insignia was on one of my school book covers and I thought it was pretty cool. As high school drew to a close, however, I did not have much guidance regarding what I should study once I got to college. My father was an engineer so he wanted me to be one, too. I may not have known what I wanted to do after college, but I knew some things I did not want to do and engineering was one of them. My strengths and interests did not lie in the disciplines of math and science. I gravitated toward humanities so I double majored in history and political science (at Boston University, not Yale). After graduating I worked as an ed tech for two years. I was barely able to make my student loan payments but somehow thought it would be a good idea to rack up some more debt by going back to school. I applied and was accepted into USM’s Extended Teacher Education Program (ETEP), a one year graduate level teacher certification program. Some called it the “retread” program as it was designed for folks coming from professions and with degrees unrelated to education. I was in the unique position of being a retread despite the fact that my vocational tread had almost no mileage or wear on it. I was unsuccessful in my quest to obtain a teaching job fresh out of ETEP so I decided to defer my even larger students loans and spend the year indulging my recreational interests. I took a position selling skis at swaps. When November rolled around I quit and spent the month hunting. I worked as a professional ski patroller for the winter. I lifeguarded and taught swimming lessons during the summer. I was hired as a middle school social studies teacher that fall and quickly realized that age group was not the best fit for my skills or disposition. I moved on to high school the next year and have worked in a high school ever since. If there is any lesson to be learned from my educational story, it is that you never know where you are going to end up or how long it will take you to get there. It took fours years to earn my college degree and five more to figure out how I wanted to use it. It never once crossed my mind in high school, college, or my early working career that I would one day be a public high school principal. Some high school students know exactly what they want for a career and have a plan to get there. For those not so sure of their path, I am living proof that you can end up with a successful career and a job you love even if you do not know where you want to go when you start. Visit the WSHS website at: http://wshs.aos92.org. Communicate with your child’s teachers via email. Email addresses are listed in the Directory, which is one of the buttons on the school’s home page. To place information in the next Parent Press, contact Kelly Morissette at 313-3245 or kamorissette@gmail.com. A.O.S. #92, 25 Messalonskee Ave., Waterville, ME 04901 Guidance News SCHOLARSHIP BULLETINS: Bulletins are posted in guidance and on the school website. There are many local and national scholarships available and seniors should visit guidance for applications and/or more information. Every year scholarship money goes unused because students don’t apply! Students should make a point of checking for scholarships weekly. As the year progresses more and more scholarships come into our office. UPCOMING SAT TEST DATES: December 7th (WSHS is a test site) January 25th registration deadline is December 27th (WSHS is not a test site) March 8th registration deadline is February 7th (WSHS is not a test site) Register online at www.collegeboard.com or pick up a registration packet from the guidance office. We also have SAT study guides available for sign out. SENIORS: If you have a January 1st deadline, then paperwork must be in the Guidance Office as soon as possible and no later that December 6th. This includes the purple form, items for any letters of recommendation and the Secondary School Report Form if the college requires this form. TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT COLLEGE LINGO (answers below): What is the high school profile? Do you have to know what you want to major in when you apply to college? FINANCIAL AID INFORMATION NIGHT: Please join us on Wednesday January 22, 2014 starting at 5:15pm. Pizza will be served at 5:15pm followed by Financial aid Presentation by Mary Dyer from FAME. The FAFSA can also be completed that evening! Please register with the guidance office by January 3rd to reserve your spot. To complete your FAFSA that evening, you will need to bring: Social Security Numbers for student and parent(s) Federal Income Tax Form Federal income tax information (most recent copies available) W-2 Forms Last pay stub Asset Information Your current estimate of amount in checking and/or savings and non-retirement investment accounts NCAA: Students who plan on competing in college athletics at the Division I or II levels need to register with the NCAA Clearing House. The address is: www.ncaaclearinghouse.net PSAT RESULTS: PSAT Results usually arrive in early December. The guidance office will do classroom presentations for sophomores on how to interpret the results and also the benefits of using the free program, My College Quick Start. Juniors will also receive a review session. COLLEGE VISITATION FORMS: Juniors and seniors who are planning to visit a college must first request a College Visitation Form from their counselor. If approved, the form must then be signed by the teachers for the day/days the student is to be absent. The parent/guardian then signs the form and it then needs to be returned to Mrs. Bard in the Main Office – this needs to be submitted two days prior to the visit. Answers to test your knowledge about college lingo questions: Every high school has a school profile that is sent to colleges. It lists: what courses are offered, high school diploma requirements and an overview of the academic program at your high school. No, relax. Pick an institution that offers a range of majors, programs and has course in subjects you are interested in. Advisor/mentors will help you find a focus. Page 2 Parent Press Guidance News (cont.) MASFAA SCHOOL SUPPORT INTITIATIVE (MSSI): One of the benefits of having a MELMAC Foundation grant is the opportunity to have a MSSI Financial Aid Counselor to help our senior students and families with the college financial aid process. Our MSSI representative is Jill Pierce, a Financial Counselor from Colby College. She is available to work with individual students and or families. She can help completing the FAFSA, reviewing and comparing the financial aid award letters and much more. If you would like to schedule an individual session with Jill to get your questions answered about the college financial aid process, please call our guidance office. Her availability will be an additional support to the great work that FAME already provides for us. Again, the Financial Aid and FAFSA Completion Lab night is scheduled for January 22. If you don’t think you can attend that evening event or would prefer to work through this process with Jill, give us a call!

Students in the class have been getting ready to assume the roles of attorneys and witnesses in a manslaughter case. The students decided against going to the regional mock trial competition and instead on November 12 they competed against their classmates. The experience of preparing for mock trial has been a practical learning experience. The students were engaged in what they were learning and understood the purpose of the material because it directly related to the trial they were preparing for. Students found preparing for the mock trial case to be more interesting than learning in a traditional classroom environment. When Anna Ramgren and Elyssa Needle prepared their teams they found that their class mates where motivated not by their individual grade but by their team's success. By making this assignment a competition it gave the teams the opportunity to learn how to work with other people towards a common goal. When everyone competed on November 12, they found that their preparation had really paid off and that everyone who participated gained confidence and learned valuable life skills.

If you need more information, please don't hesitate to E mail me. This program has saved us all a great deal of money and has made it possible for some of us to afford to ski. Please take advantage of the club discounts because the more we ski, the better deal Sugarloaf will give us. Feel free to extend this club invitation to your immediate family. Thanks, Gayle *BIG Changes in the 2013-2014 ticket rates: The regular nonholiday discount ticket has gone up and is now $35. The holiday discount tickets is now $52. Remember: The regular adult ticket price is $83, ($69 for teens), so we are still getting a great discount. 1. Do we take a bus? No. I meet you at the mountain to give you your ticket. Each person finds his/her on way up to Sugarloaf; although, if you need a ride, let me know. I can perhaps help you find a ride. 2. How do I order my tickets? Email Gayle Giguere at ggiguere@aos92.org and describe what type of tickets you require and on what date. Page 8 Parent Press Announcements (cont.) 3. How early do I need to order? The Wednesday before the weekend of the trip is a good time to send your order; although, I will be collecting orders up until the Saturday of the trip. I will send a confirmation E mail back to you. 4. Where and when do I get my tickets? You will pick your tickets up at Sugarloaf in the King Pine Lodge between 8:00-9:30 on the date of the trip. I will be sitting at a table with a sign labeled AOS92 and Waterville High School. If for some reason you're late, I will leave your (prepaid) tickets with the information desk in an envelope with your name on it. The information desk is located downstairs where they sell tickets and across from the Group Sales’ counter. * The tickets will remain at the guest services counter until you pick them up. * The best skiing is in the morning before the trails get skied off; arrive early for the best skiing. If you can't handle a full day of skiing, my advice is arrive early and leave early and you’ll be able to catch the best skiing. 5. How do I pay? You can send a check inter-school mail. You can deliver your payment to the high school personally and have the office staff put it in my box or you can send it regular mail or hand deliver it to my house mailbox. If you are a student, you can bring it into my classroom 210. My School address My home address Waterville High School Gayle Giguere Att.Gayle Giguere 27 Prospect st 1 Brooklyn Ave Waterville, ME 04901 Waterville, ME 04901 6. Who do I make my check out to? You make your check out to Gayle Giguere. The reason you make the check out to me is that I write a personal check to Sugarloaf USA for the entire trip. Sugarloaf doesn't want to deal with 40 different checks. They know me; they want to deal with me and my check alone. 7. Prepay policy: It is important to prepay because I cannot afford to pay for your ticket if you do not show up. I do have friends and long-term members of the club who pay me at the mountain, but this is a privilege they have earned by being consistent with their promise to be at the mountain before 9:30 am to pay me. If there is some kind of emergency where you cannot pay ahead, send me an e mail and we can discuss it. 8. In case of inclement weather If the weather is really treacherous- windy, icy or too snowy to drive and/or ski safely, I will cancel the trip. I rarely cancel but I have done it. In a case such as this, I will both E- mail and try to call you. So, it is very important that you give me your phone number when you order tickets. Also, if you are concerned that I might cancel a trip, call or Email me. 9. What if I need to cancel my tickets? If you need to cancel your tickets your best bet is to Email me the night before the trip. You must get a confirmation from me that I received your Email. E mail is the safest bet. A second choice would be to call me the night before a trip at home 872-8862 or on my cell at 314-7622 .Leave your message and a way for you to be contacted. The desk opens at 8:00 am. You must speak directly to me or to a Sugarloaf sales rep to cancel; you cannot leave a message on an answering machine to cancel tickets. Or, you must receive a confirmation that your phone message has been received in time and your tickets cancelled. Please do not call my Sugarloaf camp number as we have disconnected that number. Volume 7, Issue 4 Page 9 Announcements (cont.) 13th Annual Holiday Craft Fair Saturday, December 14, 2013; 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The Class of 2016 will hold the annual holiday fair in conjunction with the Christmas tree sale for Project Grad 2014. The day will be filled with lots of holiday magic; including at least 100 craft tables, musical performances, lunch and goodies in the Candy Cane Café. We will place all for-profit crafters in our gym until it is full. The gym has proven to be an excellent space that allows plenty of room for holiday shoppers to walk around and view the items offered by over 70 crafters. Musical groups from the school will perform holiday music in the gym during the fair. Sophomore “elves” will help you load and unload, and our basketball players will come around to take your food orders. Door prizes will be drawn throughout the day, including a separate drawing for crafters only. The fair is open to all for-profit crafters from the community. The fee is $25 for each space (10 feet wide by 6 feet deep). You may request a table for an additional $5 per table. Electricity is available on a first come, first served basis for an additional $5 fee. Two chairs per crafter will be provided and additional chairs may be requested. Please limit your request to two spaces so that we can fit the maximum number of crafters in the gym. There are 71 spaces in the gym. After these spaces are gone, I will place crafters in the cafeteria if they wish. I can't guarantee that traffic will flow well in there, but you can make that decision. If you were with us last year and would like the same space again, please check this on the registration form and we will do this for you. I will confirm your reservation if you provide an email address. Nonprofit organizations are encouraged to join the many school organizations that participate each year. They will be in the hall outside of the gym with a lower fee of $15 per space and include a table and chair. School organizations will be arranged in the hall from the rotunda to the gym. The fee is $15 per space. Please provide your own table if you are from the high school. Crafters will be able to set up at 6:30 a.m. on the day of the fair. Please enter through the last door near the gym. Seniors will be available to help you carry your things, and free coffee and muffins will be available. We ask that you remain set up until the end of the fair at 2:30 p.m. This is very important. I have had several people rush to the fair after work at 2 p.m., only to be greeted by several crafters who were tearing down their booths. This is very unwelcoming to the community.
