HOVEN’S DESK... With the second semester just starting it seems crazy, but this is the time of the year that heavy planning for next year already starts. Students will be selecting courses for next year over the coming days. While we try to assist students in making good, thoughtful choices, it does not always happen like we hope it will. Being so early, it can be difficult for students to put the proper amount of thought and planning into their choices. Often students just plan to adjust their schedules when we return next August. Unfortunately, that is not always possible. Not only can course sections fill up, but there are often other conflicts within students’ schedules. Finally, we make staffing decisions for next year based heavily on student course requests. Please work with your student to make thoughtful decisions for course selections. We have a lot of great courses and great opportunities for students, and we sincerely want to see students get into the courses they need and want to help them prepare for their futures. Thank you for your help. 2015-2016 COURSE REGISTRATION During the second week of January, Timberland students will begin registering for next year's classes. Counselors will visit with classes the week of January 12, at which time they will distribute the Course Planning Guides and information pertaining to the online registration process to every student. A link to the Course Planning Guide and all information pertinent to registration will also be posted on the Timberland Guidance & Counseling website. While the registration portal is open, teachers will take the opportunity to discuss with students class progression and recommendations. The registration portal will open Tuesday, January 13 and close at midnight, Thursday, January 29.

Wentzville is one of only eight districts to be recognized this year in Missouri, the only district in the state to achieve this distinction in each of the past five years, and one of only six school districts nationwide to appear on the Honor Roll for five consecutive years. The WSD was recognized for increasing the number of AP courses offered in high school while also improving student performance on the AP tests. Achieving both of these indicates that the District is successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who will benefit most from rigorous AP course work. AP courses were offered for the first time in the District during the 2008-09 school year, and this year the WSD is offering 25 AP courses including advanced AP Calculus. “We are always seeking ways to improve our SAIL INTO SENIOR YEAR “Sail Into Senior Year” is a college planning presentation that will be held on January 22 at 6:30 p.m. in the Timberland library. The program is geared for parents of juniors; however, all parents are welcome to attend. Information will be shared about the college application process, A+ Program, financial aid, scholarships, and much more. If you are interested, please RSVP to kerrystengel@wentzville.k12.mo.us curriculum, and being recognized by the College Board for five consecutive years is a testament to our long and steady increase in AP offerings and student achievement,” said Wentzville Superintendent Dr. Curtis Cain. “Student success is always our primary focus, and our continuing efforts to increase rigor helps to ensure our students are college and career ready when they graduate.” Advanced Placement classes enable students to pursue college-level studies while still in high school. Each AP course culminates in a rigorous exam, providing academically prepared students with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement or both, which can potentially save students and their families thousands of dollars in college tuition. Since 2008 the WSD has significantly increased the number of students enrolled in AP courses, and simultaneously increased the percentage of students earning AP Exam scores of 3 (out of a possible 5) or higher. Many U.S. colleges and universities grant college credit or advanced YEARBOOKS Order ONLINE or CALL 1-866-287-3096, school code: 08123 Credit, Debit, and Checks only!

The artwork consists of drawings for the Memory Project. Students in Ms. Wing's Studio class, and students from Mr. Holland’s Painting class are participating in the Memory Project and have work exhibited. The Memory Project is a unique initiative in which art students create portraits for children and teens around the world who have been neglected, orphaned, or disadvantaged. Given that kids in such situations tend to have few personal keepsakes, we're aiming to provide them with special memories that capture a piece of their childhood - portable pieces of their personal history. As much as possible, we also want to help the kids see themselves as works of art. To do this, art students receive photos of kids on our waiting list and then work in any medium to create the portraits (drawing, painting, digital art, collage, etc). Next, we deliver the portraits to the kids as gifts. We also take photos of the kids holding the portraits so the art students can see the delivery in action. The majority of youth on our waiting list for portraits already have people taking care of their basic needs of food, healthcare, education, etc. So we’re aiming to go beyond the basic needs to touch the kids’ lives in a fun, artistic way. However, we do also like to help financially support the children who receive our portraits, so as much as possible we make monetary donations to the organizations that are caring for them day in and day out.
