elcome back to our students and their parents returning to Whitesboro High School for the 2014-15
school year. A special welcome to all of our new students attending our school for the first time. We
want your child to have a successful year at Whitesboro High School and believe you play a key
role. Parental interest and support of our programs are key components in student success. We believe
we have an excellent educational community which provides students with a variety of academic and
co-curricular opportunities.
Whitesboro Students “Get Small” with Nanotechnology!
Whitesboro’s Introduction to Nanotechnology
course completed another successful year with heightened student awareness, real-life experiences and immersing themselves into science’s newest frontier; the
world of “Nanotechnology”. The course offered handson labs that highlighted science concepts unique to the
world of the small… a Nanometer, which is one-billionth
of a meter! Students performed experiments throughout the year, including creating their own holograms,
working with solar cells, manipulation of fiber optics,
engineering their own Atomic Force Microscopes, measuring the pit width on a CD and the size of their own Tyler Williams and Austin Hartnett record the data for the
Force Microscope Black Box Experiment. Students

8 Suggestions for a Successful Transition to H.S.
Friendly hints to help parents survive ninth grade:
1. Be involved in your child’s academic program of study - Make sure that your child is challenged and taking
courses today that will help meet future goals.
2. Get your child involved in a positive activity...but don’t overextend - Research says that students who are
involved in an activity, club, sport, music, etc., are much more likely to have a positive high school experience and
get better grades than students who are not involved.
3. Know your child’s friends - Research says that when a teenager is faced with a critical decision, the influence of
peers (positive and negative) and parents/families make the difference.
4. Attend Back to School Night.
5. Don’t allow your child to get lost in the shuffle - In a large school, a student can get lost or fall through the
cracks. Research says that when a student makes positive connections with adults (teachers, guidance counselors,
coaches, etc.), it stops this from happening.
6. Remember that all teenagers (including straight-A students) need proper supervision - This supervision
includes online supervision and supervision of technology. Remember, good kids make mistakes too. Your child
should always know that you love him/her, but make sure he/she knows your expectations. Know where your child
is and who they are with all the time.
7. Get to know your child’s teachers and guidance counselor - Stay in positive contact with the teachers and don’t
be afraid to ask for help. Remember that e-mail is a great tool for quick information, but it’s not such a great tool
for dealing with difficult issues.
8. Get involved in school yourself - The most successful students I have seen are the ones whose parents are involved. In a sense, these parents are the ones who are in the know, and they use this information to support their
children and the school.
Cafeteria News
Parents: If you think your child may be eligible to receive a Free or Reduced Lunch/Breakfast, you will
need to submit a “Direct Certification Letter” or fill out a “Free and Reduced Application” and return it
to the Main Office. You can obtain an application at the Main Office, in the District Newsletter, or on the
Whitesboro CSD web site (www.wboro.org). You will need to do this every year if you think your child
may qualify for this program. Your new Direct Certification Letter of Application needs to be sent in by
October 1, 2014, to take advantage of the free and reduced program.
The cafeteria at Whitesboro High School will again be offering a Breakfast Program. Breakfast, either
at home or in the school, helps to ensure that all children are prepared to face classroom challenges and
should be perceived as a viable tool in improving school performance. The cost for breakfast is 90 cents.
There will be a la carte items available. Please encourage your child to join us for breakfast.
Just a quick reminder--There is no charging at Whitesboro High School. Prices for lunch have also
increased .10 cents to $2.20.
The school lunch program will be offering some new recipes and new snack items for the 2014-15 school
year. Our goal is to encourage healthy lifelong eating habits by providing foods that are high in nutrients,
low in fat and added sugars, and of moderate portion size.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call 266-3315.

Regular Attendance Key
to Success in School
In order to be successful in meeting the high expectations set down
by the State Education Department
and our local school district for
graduation, it is imperative that
students come to school on a regular basis and maximize their time
in school for learning. There is a
positive correlation between regular attendance at school and academic success. The business world
demands that employees be at work
daily and on time. Excessive absenteeism and/or tardiness to work
often results in the loss of jobs. Our
school has an obligation to expect
regular attendance and punctuality
to school and class. Students have
a responsibility to come to school
on a daily basis and to be on time
to school and to all of their classes.
Parents have a responsibility to
see that their children meet these
Handicapped
Accessibility
obligations.
The vast majority of student
discipline referrals at Whitesboro
High School are related to truancies
and tardies. Improvements in those
areas will allow students to perform
better in the classroom. There is
a direct correlation between poor
student attendance and course failures. We ask for your cooperation.
Your child should come to school
daily. Whenever possible, medical
and dental appointments should
be scheduled outside of the school
day. Students requiring regular appointments during the school day
should have these scheduled as to
avoid missing the same class each
time. We need to maximize the time
we have in school for instructional
purposes.
Yearbook Sales
Yearbooks will be sold this year in the same manner as last year. The billing
will be done by Jostens Publishing Company. During the last week in September, order forms will be filled out during homeroom. When the forms are
handed out in school, students are encouraged to select Yes, I am interested.
It does not bind you to purchase the book; Jostens will just send two or three
reminders before the final ordering deadline. Students are not to take order
forms home. They are to be filled out in school with name, address, and if
they want any other options available. The yearbook staff will then send
them to Jostens for processing. We will not be ordering any extra books.
Seniors, you need to have your senior portrait to the staff by Wednesday,
October 1, 2014 to insure a place in the yearbook. Portraits taken at studios
other than DeNicola Photography will not send us the yearbook print. It is
your responsibility to get it to the school on time. Portraits should be submitted on a CD or via email to jzarnoch@wboro.org.
Underclassmen pictures are tentatively scheduled for October 21st-23rd.
Information about price packages will be sent home with students the week
before.
If you have any other questions pertaining to the yearbook, please call the
High School or email Mrs. Zarnoch at jzarnoch@wboro.org or Ms. Eberley
at meberley@wboro.org.

“A Model of Excellence”
Whitesboro High School is handicapped accessible. Two elevators
are available; one is located at
the south side of the high school
adjacent to the gymnasium and
the other at the north side of the
building across from the auditorium. Handicapped parking areas
are located in the circle in front of
the high school, in the north drive
across from the Attendance Office,
and in the parking area east of the
Attendance Office. All bathrooms
in the building are handicapped
accessible. Any further questions
concerning handicapped accessibility needs should be directed to the
school administration.
Late Buses
Late buses are available for those
students who stay after regular
school hours for remedial help or
co-curricular activities Monday Thursday. There are no late buses
on Friday or on a day before a
vacation. Students should be under
the supervision of a staff member
during this time period, from 2:20
to 3:20 p.m., and need to have a late
bus pass signed by a staff member in
order to be allowed to ride the bus.
Student athletes, waiting for their
coach to arrive to begin practice,
should report to the cafeteria no
later than 2:20 p.m. unless they are
with another teacher for extra help
or at a club meeting. The late bus departs from the High School at 3:20
p.m. and goes to the Middle School
to pick up students. There, students
may have to transfer to other buses
depending on where they live.
Dress Code Helps Maintain
Quality School Environment
Excuses
When a student has been absent from or
tardy to school, the parent or guardian must
provide the school with a written note explaining the reason. Students should present
this note to their first period teacher the day
they return from an absence. Written excuses
should indicate the date, the reason for the
absence or tardiness, and be signed by the
parent or guardian. In cases of repeated or
long-term absence, a note from a medical
doctor may be required.
Main Entrance
For the safety and security of all members
of our educational community, we utilize one
main entrance to the high school, located on
the north side of the building by the cafeteria. Buses drop off students in the morning
on the circle in front of the building and on
the north side circle drive. Students and staff
may utilize the front doors by the auditorium,
gymnasium, courtyard doors to Warrior Hall
and the cafeteria doors on the north side to
enter the building until 7:35 a.m. After that
time, all entrance doors are locked for the
remainder of the day except for the entrance
door leading to the cafeteria on the north
side. Afternoon buses pick up from the same
locations as they dropped off students in the
morning. The attendance office is located just
inside the doors leading to the cafeteria.
All visitors should enter the building through
the main entrance located on the north side
of the building by the cafeteria. Visitors and
handicapped parking areas are designated in
a lot off the north circle drive. Visitors are
expected to sign in at the Attendance Office
where they will receive a guest pass. Upon
exiting the building, guests are to again report
to the Attendance Office and sign out.
As an additional security measure, we have
a second set of doors just beyond the attendance office. Similar to other buildings in
the District, this allows our attendance clerk
to control access to the building via a buzzer
which unlocks the door. We appreciate your
cooperation and patience with this procedure.
All students are expected to give proper attention to personal cleanliness and
to dress appropriately for school and school functions. Students and their parents
have the primary responsibility for acceptable student dress and appearance.
Teachers and all other district personnel should exemplify and reinforce acceptable student dress and help students develop an understanding of appropriate
appearance in the school setting.
A student’s dress, grooming and appearance, including hair style/color, jewelry, make-up, and nails, shall:
A. Be safe, appropriate, and not disrupt or interfere with the educational
process.
B. Recognize that extremely brief garments including but not limited to
tube tops, net tops, halter tops, plunging necklines (front and/or back)
and see-through garments are not appropriate. (This includes low-cut
pants and abbreviated tops which expose the midriff area.)
C. Ensure that underwear is completely covered with outer clothing.
D. Include footwear at all times. Footwear that is a safety hazard will not
be allowed.
E. Not include items that are vulgar, obscene, libelous or denigrate others
on account of race, color, religion, creed, national origin, gender, sexual
orientation or disability.
F. Not promote and/or endorse the use of alcohol, tobacco or illegal drugs,
and/or encourage other illegal or violent activities.
G. Not include the wearing of hats or other headgear in the building during
regular school hours except for medical or religious purposes.
If the manner of dress is such that it violates these standards, the student
will be asked to change, and, if necessary, be sent home to do so. The student
will be responsible for missed work as a result of leaving school. If there is
any doubt about the appropriateness of clothing, it should not be worn. If you
have any questions, please contact an Administrator.
Early Release From School
To be released from school for any
reason, a student must bring a parent’s
or guardian’s note on the day he/
she needs to be excused. This excuse
should be given to the attendance office
monitor before first period. A student
may not leave the school without prior
permission from the attendance monitor and must sign out at the attendance
office. Students will only be released
to their parent, guardian, or some
other adult designated by the parent or
guardian. If students drive, they will
be released only with the parent’s or
WHITESBORO
HIGH
SCHOOL
“A Model of Excellence”
guardian’s permission. In order to be
released due to sickness during the
school day, students must report to
the school nurse to be evaluated. If,
in the nurse’s judgment, the student
needs to be sent home, the parent will
be contacted for permission prior to
allowing the student to leave. The
student still must sign out from the
attendance office.
Thank you for your cooperation
in assisting us to provide the best
education possible for your child,
starting with daily attendance.
Student Use of Telephones
Students have access to administrative office telephones for emergency use during school hours.
The use of cell phones is not allowed during school hours. Although they can be used for many positive
purposes in our society, the negative impacts they have in a school setting on the teaching and learning
environment are well documented, which include sending threatening messages, displaying inappropriate pictures, cheating on examinations, and the overall distraction from our main purpose.
Student violations of our cell phone procedure will result in the following consequences:
1st offense
- Warning, phone is taken away from student and returned after 9th period.
2nd offense - Warning, phone is taken away from student and must be picked up by a parent or guardian after 9th period.
3rd offense - Considered insubordination, phone is taken away from student and must be picked up by a parent or guardian after 9th period, and a minimum of one day in-school suspension assigned.
Subsequent offenses are considered insubordination and will result in out of school suspension.
Putnam, Greco Accepted into NYS Master Teacher Program
Buzz Putnam, Whitesboro Physics teacher, and Ralph Greco, Whitesboro Earth Science teacher,
were accepted in May into New York State’s Master Teacher Program. The Master Teacher Program
requires candidates to have advanced knowledge of their discipline; commitment to engaging in professional development work in addition to their regular school responsibilities and participate in leadership
workshops to better contribute to and mentor early career and pre-service teachers. Master Teachers are
part of the Empire State STEM Learning Network, partnering with local businesses and agencies to better
prepare students for STEM careers. For acceptance into the program, teachers are required to pass a content exam in their area of discipline, obtain recommendations from their peers and students, teach lessons
beyond their classroom content and hold extensive interviews with university professors.
Science Teachers Participate in “Regents Science Live!”
In June, “Regents Science Live!”, a series
of four, live student call-in programs were broadcast on Time-Warner Channel 3 and supported by
Whitesboro High School and OHM BOCES. Three
of Whitesboro’s science teachers, Buzz Putnam
(Physics), Sean Ryan (Living Environment) and
John Bertrand (Earth Science), fielded live, “on-air”
student questions through call-in or Twitter messages on their specific Regents exam topics. The focus
for Regents Science Live is to improve and increase
academic success and achievement on the NYS Regents Science Exams for all Central New York High
School students.

Participation in the Advanced Placement program at Whitesboro High School has been growing steadily over the past 5 years. This past spring, Whitesboro had the highest number of students taking AP exams
in the history of our school’s involvement with AP, while maintaining high overall student achievement
on these rigorous college-level exams. Last school year, Whitesboro High School was listed on the 4th
Annual AP School Honor Roll in recognition of expanding the number of students participating in the
program while maintaining and/or increasing student achievement. Only 477 schools in the U.S. and
Canada were awarded with this honor.
This most recent news represents the largest number of our students named as AP Scholars. The students receiving these honors are listed below:
AP Scholar with Distinction – Granted to students who receive an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams. These students are Marissa Canarelli,
Rebecca Galer, Jean Li, Kevin Shah and Vina Smith-Ramakrishnan.
AP Scholar with Honor – Granted to students who receive an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP exams

Surveillance Cameras
School Messenger
The Whitesboro Central School District promotes students, staff, and visitor safety in all District facilities, grounds, and buses. In an attempt
to ensure a safe and effective learning environment, the Board promotes the use of surveillance
cameras when necessary in all District facilities,
grounds, and buses. Surveillance cameras will be
used in public areas and other non-public areas,
except areas such as rest rooms and locker rooms
where there is reasonable expectation of privacy.
Audio recordings will not be made in conjunction
with the use of cameras. Such prohibition does
not preclude the use of audio recordings by law
enforcement or District personnel when used in
accordance with their official duties and as authorized by law.
This letter is to introduce the SchoolMessenger
service, our school-to-parent communication service that will allow our staff to send periodic and
personalized messages.
With the School Messenger service, we will be
able to deliver important school information in a
timely manner. The School Messenger service also
supports our ability to reach you immediately in
the event of an emergency.
You will be receiving these messages periodically to notify you about important events such as
parent-teacher conferences, back-to-school nights,
early release days, and report card reminders.
In closing, I want you to know that it is an honor
and a privilege to serve as your child’s principal
and to be entrusted with your child’s safety and
education. There are so many exciting inititatives
underway here at Whitesboro High School, and I
look forward to keeping you involved through the
SchoolMessenger communication service. Thanks
for reading, and we’ll definitely stay connected.
See you all in September!
Student Drop-Off Changes
Last summer a student drop off circle was added
to our parking lot. It is located just north of the
circle by the auditorium entrance. Using the drop
off will allow you to avoid the buses, the traffic in
the main circle, and create a smoother exit for you
once you drop students off. We realize that using
the front circle to drop students off in the morning
has been somewhat of a tradition but please use our
new circle because it is much safer and efficient.
