Message from Dr. Crain...
Summer vacation is a time for family, friends, picnics, ice cream and new adventures. I am set for my endeavor as the new principal at West for the 2013-2014 school year and with the help of the faculty, administration, parents and students, we will definitely make this school and our students the best ever. I've been a principal in SMSD since 1999 when I started as associate principal at West for eight years. After West I was principal at Broadmoor Technical Center for four years and the last two years I've been the principal at Horizons High School. When we say, "Once a Viking, Always a Viking," we're not kidding and I am very pleased and bursting with pride to be returning to lead West!
As I've been involved in hiring teachers the last three weeks, I've briefed candidates about West's culture of student pride, academic excellence, parent support of activities and athletics, teachers working together to solve challenges, and research and data used to help students grow academically and socially. We have so many aspects in which to be proud at West. We need all of your support and your students' full-time attention to continue the momentum of full-speed ahead.
To try to keep up, follow me. I'll be on Twitter @PrincipalCrain. In addition, West will be a pilot school in SMSD for going GOOGLE. More on that to come in July. Technology is an important, positive initiative of mine throughout the school. From the 42-year veteran teacher to the custodian, West will be connected and working hard to create the best learning environment for our students. We need you to be connected, too, through Parent@School, email and text alerts.
As the class of 2017 starts their freshman year at West, we welcome them and their media savvy West peers to challenge and embrace change and opportunity in life. To help with that change right from the start, our freshman mentor program, FMP, offers a group of upper class mentors to work with 9th grade students throughout the year. FMP's will provide each freshman with a supportive environment that fosters a smooth adjustment from middle school to high school, both academically and socially. Don't forget the first day of school for 9th grade students is Monday, Aug. 12. All other students will start school on Tuesday, Aug. 13.
I mentioned research and data used to improve instruction and I am very pleased to report that data from the West Way program, beginning its 6th year, is off-the chart positive! Safe, Responsible and Respectful - the West Way - uses positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS) to set expectations, support, teach, re-teach and react to make our school a safe and respectful learning environment. Because of this program, students have clear, precise expectations and are explicitly instructed on how to be successful in each and every situation at West. This best-practice example is another way we instruct our students to be successful socially as well as academically. I am a huge supporter of this endeavor as I've had similar success with it at Broadmoor and Horizons with great student improvement.
Please note our fee payment days are July 31st and August 1. Fee payment will take place at SM West in the library. Detailed information regarding the fees and the times are listed in this newsletter and will be mailed to every family the middle of June.
West continues to emphasize academic excellence and we do that by encouraging students to excel in rigorous curriculum offered in SMSD and at West. The emphasis on the Kansas College and Career Ready Standards continues to establish high quality academic expectations in English language arts and math. These expectations define the knowledge and skills all students should master by the end of each grade to be on track for success in college and career. Please engage in serious conversations with your student about college and/or career opportunities. You may not think they're listening, but they are, especially if you talk about it often enough. Time is fleeting and high school passes quickly.
This summer please take time to relax, put your feet in the water, read a few good Ebooks, surf the net, and return to West safe and sound, ready to hit the ground running!
Ahh - so nice to say again - "WEST is the BEST!"
Dr. Julie Crain

Schedules
Students will receive their class schedules in August after their fees have been paid. Counselors are continuing to work on schedules and balance classes until fee payment time. Many classes are full; so, there will be little room for students to change their mind about their original requests.
However, counselors will work with students to make schedule adjustments for the following reasons:
1) Failed a prerequisite course.
2) Seniors who need to meet a graduation requirement.
3) Completing a course in summer school.
4) Health of a student (doctor's note required).
Also, Dr. Crain will continue the West tradition of wanting students to challenge themselves academically. If a student signed up for an Honors or AP class, she would like the student to give themselves a chance to succeed at the more challenging level for the first semester. Therefore, no student will be allowed to drop an Honors or AP class without consulting with Dr. Crain first.
|

Summer Assignments
These classes have summer assignments that need to be completed prior to school starting in August. Biology 1 Honors and all English Honors assignments can be found on the Counseling website.

www.presidentialserviceawards.gov
The awards will be delivered to SMW and the Counseling Office and SMW Administration will determine how and when recognition will be scheduled.

SENIORS - Begin NOW to Plan for College
Seniors should be taking the ACT and/or the SAT for college entrance if they have not already done so. The ACT is offered on September 21st, but the registration deadline is Friday, August 23rd. Students will need to register for this test in the summer time if they want to take this ACT. The next ACT will be October 26th. Other test dates and registration information can be found at the testing websites.
ACT registration: www.actstudent.org
SAT registration: www.collegeboard.com
Senior year whizzes by quickly! Summer is an excellent opportunity for incoming seniors to begin their college search. In fact, by the end of summer, seniors should have most of their college search completed. Use the summer to explore websites, visit campuses, and prepare for upcoming exams.
Many colleges have early deadlines for scholarships and admission. For example, both KU and KSU have a November 1st deadline to apply for scholarships. So, students would want to complete their ACT and/or SAT testing by that date.
|
|
College Search
By the end of summer you should have completed your list of colleges where you would like to apply. Your college research should include a profile of college costs, admission requirements, and study programs. - Search colleges using the internet. Examples include:
http://student.collegeboard.org/?student www.anycollege.com www.petersons.com - Take a virtual tour with online videos of college and universities
www.campustours.com 3. Narrow your list of possible colleges to three categories: - 2-3 schools that you could definitely get in
- 2-3 schools that you could probably get in
- 3-5 schools that you would like to get it
- Visit prospective colleges. It is important that you visit schools you might want to attend. Schedule your visit at least two weeks in advance. Call the admissions office to arrange the visit and ask if you can sit in on classes, visit the dorm, talk with a professor, and take a campus tour. Speak to faculty and students and ask LOTS of questions. Ask students what they like the best and least about their school. TAKE notes!!
- Request applications and brochures from your top colleges. Create files with each college you are applying to and track your progress.
- Create a resume of things that you have been involved in both in and out of school. This is your opportunity to show colleges what sets you apart from other applicants. There are four things important to schools in admitting students: academic record which includes your transcript and your test scores, extra-curricular involvement, essays (if required) and recommendations (if required). Schools like to see leadership positions and community involvement. They look for scope and depth; you have started something and committed to it rather than a listing of many different clubs or organizations.
- College bound student athletes: Students interested in continuing their athletic career at the next level will need to prove academic eligibility. Colleges fall under various categories (NCAA, NAIA, D3, NJCAA) each having its own standards and procedures for demonstrating academic eligibility. For NCAA D1 or D2, students must register through the NCAA Eligibility center at www.eligibilitycenter.org. NAIA schools, www.playnaia.org.

SMW FCCLA Success!
SMW FCCLA Students Attend State Leadership Conference, Were Installed into Office, Earn Awards & Make it to Nationals!
 Amber Yeasin, Jaime Hay, Bailee McCracken, Essence Crain,
Kayla Xiong, Alyssa Rushing, Advisor Jenny Choquette
The Shawnee Mission West chapter of the Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) recently attended the 2013 FCCLA State Leadership Conference in Wichita on April 8 & 9. The conference offered members the opportunity to gain recognition, become inspired by motivational speakers, and network with other members across the state.
STAR Events (Students Taking Action with Recognition) are competitive events in which member plan, carryout, and evaluate the results of their project. Participants could obtain the rating of Gold, Silver, or Bronze. These students had to earn the top award at the district competition in order to compete at the state level. Erica Medina, senior, said "FCCLA gives us an opportunity to show off our school and great technical programs while having fun, earning scholarships and meeting new people."
Jaime Hay earned a Gold award in the Leadership Event and will be representing the state of KS at the National Leadership Conference in Nashville, TN this summer. Erica Medina, Zanobia Knighton, and Jesus Ladron earned a Gold award in the Culinary Arts Event and will also be representing the state of KS at the National Leadership Conference. Alyssa Rushing earned a Silver award in the Teach and Train Event. Essence Crain and Kayla Xiong earned a silver award in the Recycle and Redesign event. Amber Yeasin and Blake Peterson were installed as District Officers and Jaime Hay completed her term as a District officer. Bailee McCracken participated in the SLC.
SMW students were also successful at the District EE FCCLA competition. Blake Peterson earned a silver in the Job Interview event and Bailee McCraken judged the Focus on Children event.
Our SMW FCCLA Chapter earned two awards that included the Membership Award and Community Service Award.
The state and national community service project this year is was Help Local, Serve Local and SMW students participated in this by hosting our third annual Safe Trick-or-Treat Event, collecting food for Harvesters, working at Harvesters, working that the Johnson County Christmas Bureau, baking cookies to donate and collecting pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House.
Members at the SLC were motivated by two track session speakers and keynote speaker, Eddie Slowikowski, who's high-spirited message combined with music inspired us to feel empowered to succeed. Alyssa Rushing, senior, said "He is definitely the most fun and energetic speaker that I have ever had the privilege of listening to and he really got his point across!"
The mission of FCCLA is to promote personal growth and leadership development through Family and Consumer Sciences Education. Focusing on the multiple roles of family member, wage earner and community leader, members develop skills for life through character development, creative and critical thinking, interpersonal communication, practical knowledge and career preparation.
If you are interesting in learning more about FCCLA, contact Jenny Choquette, SMW Advisor, 913-993-7905.
