WCHS9- “Define Yourselves!”
Parents-please take the time to review your freshman student's first semester perfor-
mance. Encourage your student to reflect on the following questions "what did we do
well?" and "what can we do better?"
Research indicates freshman students earning less than 10 credits by the end of 9th
grade are at a greater risk of not graduating with their class. The primary focus of GI is
to #1 use that time to seek out the teacher for extra help/retest and #2 work on home-
work. Students should make teacher contact the priority as homework can be finished
after school. Remember that nothing great can be accomplished without giving a great
effort.
Students will receive a new schedule the day we return from the holiday break. Remem-
ber: Second semester classes cannot be changed. Please refer to the student handbook
scheduling policies on page 15.
Freshman students entered schedule requests for their sophomore year the week of De-
cember 9th. Students and parents have until January 6th to make on-line changes. After
that time, counselors will be reviewing their next year schedules and parents will need
to make contact through guidance to make additional changes. Remember any schedule
change requests must be made by June 1st.
Please "like" us on Facebook at WCHS-9 or follow us on Twitter @WhitelandHS_Guid
Finally, please remind your student to dress appropriately for the upcoming winter sea-
son especially those who make transitions between buildings during the day.
If you are not receiving the emailed link to our weekly WCHS-9 newsletter, contact the
office to update your information by calling 535-3855.
PSAT and PLAN
In October, all sophomores took the PSAT. On the
same day, all juniors took either the PSAT or PLAN.
We are expecting those test results in late Decem-
ber. Results are returned to the school.
For sophomores, results will be distributed to the
students during GI. Results will also be discussed
and interpreted at the Sophomore Night on January
30, 2014, at 7:00 pm in the high school auditorium.
Results of the PSAT and PLAN will be distributed to
junior students in January during class time. Coun-
selors will spend class time explaining results to
students and advising them how to review and
study for the upcoming SAT and ACT. Counselors
will also review how to register for both of these
tests.

SAT and ACT
Who, Why, When and Which one?
Students planning on attending a four year college are required to take a college en-
trance exam like the SAT or ACT. Both tests are accepted by Indiana colleges and
viewed as equal tests. The SAT and ACT have slightly different testing and scoring for-
mats, so sometimes a student will do much better on one test versus the other due simp-
ly to learning and testing styles. Guidance recommends that each college bound student
take the ACT and SAT one time each. After reviewing scores with their counselor, stu-
dents should retake whichever test format seems to match their abilities the best. Most
students will score higher the second time of taking either the SAT or ACT.
Students typically begin taking college entrance exams in the winter of their junior year.
For juniors, a basic timeline would be as follows:
Receive scores from October PSAT and use the score report to review and study
Take the SAT and ACT (with writing) one time each between January and April.
Review scores with counselor and decide which test to take a second time. Regis-
ter to retake this test in June, or early in the senior year.
Students register online for these exams. For the SAT, visit www.collegeboard.org. For
the ACT, visit www.actstudent.org. Students who are 21st Century Scholars or on free/
reduced lunch can ask for fee waivers. Please see your counselor for a fee waiver.
Students planning on attending Ivy Tech or Vincennes after high school are not required
to take the ACT or SAT, as both of these schools provide their own placement test called
the Accuplacer. Ivy Tech and Vincennes will accept SAT or ACT scores if available.
Extra help is promoted at WCHS. All students and parents are encouraged to ask for help if there is a need for tutoring or help outside of class.
Teachers and peers are available during study hall, GI, and before and after school. A
math teacher is available for tutoring each morning from 7:20-7:40 am. Students should ask their teachers for help during GI if they are struggling or need assistance.
Students should make appointments with teachers for help before and after school.
Don’t wait until it is too late to receive help.
The list that follows summarizes some ideas the high school is promoting to help your
child:
1. Ask teacher for help 6. Form study groups with peers
2. Ask GI teacher for help 7. Ask family for help
3. Use GI time wisely 8. Talk to your counselor
4. Find a student to help 9. Call 1-877-ASK-ROSE or go to
5, Ask for the tutor list www.ask-rose.org (Homework Hotline)

dent Aid) is one of the most important steps in help-
ing your student receive scholarships, loans, and
grants to pay for college and other career training.
The FAFSA is completed based on 2013 taxes and

Central 9 Career Center
In November, freshmen had a special opportunity to observe students in
action in programs at Central 9 Career Center. Almost twenty different career pro-
grams are available.
Students who attend the Career Center will be at Central 9 for half of the
day and at WCHS for the rest of each day. Several skill areas lead to apprenticeship
programs following graduation. Others result in dual college credit at Vincennes
University or Ivy Tech State Community College. In Aviation Maintenance Technolo-
gy, which is open to seniors only, students are actually enrolled at Vincennes Univer-
sity while they are still in high school.
Freshmen, sophomores, or first-time juniors must complete an application
in order to attend Central 9. These applications will be available in the guidance
office in early December. It is important that students return these forms to the
Guidance Office with parent signatures as soon as possible. Each program has
a limited number of openings; therefore it is very important to apply on time. Students
who delay their requests until later in the school year have less opportunity of obtain-
ing a spot in their first choice program.
Looking ahead…

Cross Country Highlights 2013
The boys cross country team missed by 6 points from advancing to the
Regionals. WCHS had 3 boys who advanced to the individual regional
competition. They were: Gabe O’Keefe, Landry Long, and Noah
Sheaffer.
The girls cross country team finished their season at the sectional
placing 8th out of 10 teams. Three individuals went on to the regionals. They were:
Marlee Smiley, Danielle Muse, and Kaley Brewer
On Saturday, October 26, Danielle Muse became the first girl in Whiteland's history to qualify for the state finals in cross country! On a challenging course and under
very windy conditions Dani still managed to run a lifetime best by 9 seconds to finish
17th place. Her time of 19:05 is a also new school record!
Danielle will compete in the state finals next Saturday in Terre Haute at 1:45 pm. If
you see her please congratulate her on this monumental achievement!
In other exciting news from cross country Bethany Davis (WCHS ’11) broke her college school record at Evangel by running 18:41.

Jacob Scott and Sam Venter became Sectional Champs of the individual doubles
boys tennis teams going on to play at Regionals. Jacob Scott and Sam Venter
were also named All-State Doubles and Collin Scott was named All-State Singles
in district 5. To put this in perspective, there are more than 300 tennis teams divided
among 8 districts. Our district has 34 teams in it, each with at least 4 doubles play-
ers, and so out of a possible 68 doubles teams, Jacob and Sam were ranked as
one of the top 6 teams. In singles, the top 12 singles players from each district are
ranked. Out of the over 100 possible singles players in our district, Collin was
ranked in the top 12.

CPCSC has been helping collect winter coats for
United Way of Johnson County's Operation Bundle Up for
the last 10 years. With help from everyone, over 600 items were
donated for the annual UNITED WAY coat drive.
Thank you to the students from CPI that helped sort donations be-
fore the game. Thank you to all who helped organize collections at their
schools. You are truly appreciated. *********************************************************
Also, the Peer Helper Program is 25 years old. If you were a
Peer Helper email [email protected] and tell us what you are doing
now.
This is the 3rd year Peer Helpers received a $1000 grant from
Youth Philanthropy of Johnson County for 3 separate projects: United Way
Christmas Angels program to sponsor a family and buy teen gifts for Christ-
mas Shoppe; Supplies for Christina House to make crafts for the residents
and Warrior Wardrobe to buy racks, and "wish list" items.
Peer Helpers have been busy each week visiting their elementary
"buddies" at WES, PCES and SWE; visiting residents at Christina House and
beginning to plan the annual ACHE program held in April. This program is to
show awareness of the dangers of making poor decisions around Spring Break,
Prom and graduation. This is a program planned with other Johnson County
high schools and is sponsored by Drug Free Johnson County Coalition.
The annual Christmas Tree Decorating contest helped raise money
for Riley Dance Marathon. The trees decorated the hall leading to the cafete-
ria and media center. Trees were decorated by Peer Helpers, NAHS, media
center, FEA, Boys and Girls Cross Country Teams and Riley Dance Marathon.
Several WCHS World Language Club members, accompanied
by sponsors Mrs. Jan Bradley, Mrs. Christina Gonzalez, Mrs.
Nicole Leach, and Mrs. Lina Lopez- Pérez, attended the Indian-
apolis International Festival, on Saturday, November 23 at the
Indiana State Fairgrounds. One parent chaperone, Mrs. Tanesa
Genier, also attended.
The members were able to experience cuisine, music, and
dance represented by several countries around the world. Em-
phasis at the festival was placed on Asia. Students were able to
learn about customs from many countries. Many native speak-
ers were available for conversation and for answering students’
questions. Students were able to purchase crafts and clothing
and shop early for the holidays. Some foods there that students
and chaperones tried were gyros, pierogis, bratwurst and sauer-
kraut, and baklava. Some students chose to eat American food
or purchased German/Swiss chocolates.
“It was fun going to see all the different cultures and seeing the
acts performed by people on the main stage. It was well worth
going on a Saturday,” commented Drake Dussault.
Sarbjot Singh, remarked, “It was a great way to learn about
different cultures and try new food.”
The officers of the club are Christian Stone, Karmveer Kaur,
Kendall Genier, Emily Muse, and Teresia Valle.
The club also met during Clubs I on Thursday, December 5th
during Guided Instruction during the school day. They listened
to songs in different languages and enjoyed a few refresh-
ments. A few foreign exchange students attended the party,
Ludovica DeBettin , Italy, Anna Bergenbrink, Sweden; and
Nuttamon Thongyot, Thailand.

To ALL parents of WCHS students:
Please hold your student(s) accountable for any over-
due library materials.
We DO NOT charge library fees. Therefore, I am
asking for your help. We have students who have overdue
materials and other students would like to read them. Help
us by holding your student accountable for library materials
that are overdue. Also, if you happen to locate a book that
has our barcode on it that has WCHS Library over the top,
please send it back to the school, no questions asked.
If the student has lost the item, the library will
accept a replacement (exact book, same author) since we
DO NOT receive the funds back into the library accounts to
re-purchase. If you have any questions or concerns, feel
free to call me at 535-7562 ext. 3142. Thank you for your
help and support!
