Guidance News – April 2014
ACT/SAT Test Prep: Please check the guidance page of the GHS website at www.greenlocalschools.org for the most up-to-date information regarding ACT and SAT prep opportunities. ACT/SAT: All college bound juniors should take an ACT or SAT test before the end of the school year. Test dates, registration deadlines, and the websites for registering for these tests can be found on the GHS Guidance website and at www.actstudent.org and www.collegeboard.com. Scholarships: Many local organizations have provided scholarship opportunities for 2014 GHS seniors. All scholarships are posted on the GHS web-site, and the hard copies of many applications are in the guidance office. Seniors are reminded to frequent the office to access these applications and submit them by the deadlines. Senior Awards & Final Transcripts: During the last week of April, seniors will complete a senior exit survey during the school day through an online survey. They will be asked at that time where they wish to have their final transcripts sent. If they are uncertain of the college they plan to attend, or employer who is to receive their transcript, they must notify the guidance office when they make this decision in order to have their final transcript sent anywhere after graduation. The senior exit survey will be the vehicle used by the counselors to gather scholarship and award information. Students are respon-sible for providing documentation of scholarship awards to the guidance office to have their photo displayed in the academic awards showcase. Lists of seniors earning awards such as the Honors Diploma, Wall of Fame, and Distinguished Scholar will be posted during late April in the guidance office. Students are encouraged to check the accuracy of these lists as a double check prior to the May 27th assem-bly. Invitations for the awards assembly are mailed to students who will be called to the stage for any recognition; however, all seniors are encouraged to attend the assembly. The purpose of the invitation is to notify parents that their son/daughter will be receiving an award that evening. The Senior Awards Assembly will begin at 7:30pm in the GHS Auditorium on May 27th. AP Testing: Advanced Placement tests will be administered during the weeks of May 5th and May 12th. Students enrolled in any AP class during the 2013-14 school year will test. Fees for AP tests were due in February. If students have not paid, they need to do so as soon as possible. Please remind your sons/daughters about the pre-registration sessions they signed up for at the end of April. Schedule Change Request Guidelines: The last day of school, June 6th, will be the deadline to initiate schedule changes. Students and parents will receive a confirmation of scheduled classes in late May. Families should use this notification to review their student’s schedule and request changes. A com-plete explanation of this policy can be found in the fall 2014 Curriculum and Course Description Guide. Incoming freshmen receive a hard copy of this guide; an updated electronic copy is available on the guidance website: http://www.greenlocalschools.org/CurriculumGuides.aspx
Parent teacher conferences are on April 10, 5 – 8pm.
PSEO Meetings will be held on
April 10th at 5, 6 or 7pm.

Interested in taking some of the stress out of your senior year? Green High School is launching a new program
called College Countdown designed to do just that. This three day program will meet from 9 am to 12pm on
July 30th, July 31st, and August 1st at the high school. The goal of the event is to assist seniors as you
complete the following:
create resumes
solidify college/career decisions
write effective college essays for admission or scholarship
complete college applications
explore scholarship resources
GHS faculty members will host the camp to provide small group instruction and individual advising for each
participant in all of these activities. Participants can expect to produce a quality resume and a final draft of a
college essay that can be used for admission or scholarship purposes and be introduced to college/career/
scholarship resources.
To save your place at College Countdown 2014, complete the registration form below and bring a check of
$60.00 made out to Green High School by May 22nd to the guidance office. The camp will only be held if 10
or more students register and will be limited to 40 participants. Fall Athletes/Band Members are encouraged to
participate in College Countdown. Coaches/Advisors support your participation in this valuable opportunity.
The College Application Essay: All-New Fifth Edition by Sarah Myers McGinty is included in the cost of
registration and will be available for pick up at the high school in early June. Participants are encouraged to
read this prior to College Countdown. Students are also encouraged to bring a rough draft of a college essay.
Possible topics will be given to students prior to the end of school.

Calamity day nine (9) will be made up Friday, June 6. The following summarizes our plan:
Days 1-5 Allowed by State Law Days 6-8 Contingency Plan; use of Blizzard Bags Day 9 June 6, 2014 Days 10-13 If needed, no make-up required per new law
Blizzard Bags will be enacted on March 31 and April 28. Students will have two (2) weeks from these dates to complete the assignments.

Spanish Club will be selling bracelets for the "Pulsera Project" (pulsera means bracelet in Spanish) on April 7-11 during
lunch. Pulseras will be sold for $5, with all profits going to the project.
Information about the "Pulsera Project" can be found on the following sites: http://www.pulseraproject.org/home
Pictures and videos can be found here: http://pulseraproject.4ormat.com/
"The Pulsera Project began in 2009 when a group of friends traveling in Nicaragua discovered a shelter for ex-street kids
in the foothills of Managua. The youths were masters of weaving pulseras (bracelets) but had little market for their art-work in Nicaragua.
Some of the friends returned home and enlisted students at two US schools to sell the youths’ pulseras. Now, three
years later, scores of young Nicaraguan artists partner with students in more than 450 US schools, weaving the art of
the pulsera into a positive and colorful force across the US and Nicaragua.
For many pulsera artists, weaving pulseras began as art therapy in shelters where they grew up. For others, the native art was passed down from previous generations. For all, pulsera weaving remains central to the stories of their lives, –
stories that they gladly share through Pulsera Project films and writings - stories that enrich our understanding of the
world.
Each pulsera takes about two hours to make, comes tagged with the picture and signature of the artist, and is woven with the rich personal history of the person who made it. When you wear a pulsera, you not only share the voice of a
young Nicaraguan, but you raise your own voice too, speaking out for opportunity, unity, and a more magical and color-ful world."

The Green Council of PTAs will once again host the Summit County Schools Art Expo in 2014. This will be the 13th
year that the Green Council of PTAs will organize the Summit County Schools Art Expo. Prior to 2001, the art exhibition
was organized by the Summit County PTA for forty-five years, until that organization dissolved. The Art Expo is held
annually at the Portage Lakes Career Center in Green. Approximately 550 pieces of art from students in Kindergarten
through High School, will be judged and exhibited. This year, students from 34 buildings representing 12 different
school districts in Summit County will participate in the Art Expo.
The art will be judged in the following categories: painting, drawing, mixed media, photography, ceramics, 3D and
computer generated photography.
The PLCC is open daily to the public Mondays - Thursdays 9:00am – 9:00pm and Fridays 9:00am – 2:00pm. The art
will be on display Wednesday, April 16 through Wednesday, May 7. Please note that the PLCC is closed April 18.
An Artists’ Reception and Award Ceremony will be held on Monday, April 28 from 6-8pm at the Portage Lakes Career
Center. More than 500 artists, family, and friends are expected to attend this standing-room-only event. Winners will be
recognized on stage by grade level for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place, Honorable Mention and the Best of Show winners from each
grade. Kindergarten through eighth grade will be presented with a trophy. High School grades Best of Show winners will
each receive $25 from the Green Council of PTAs.
