From the Principal

I hope you all had the opportunity to attend our “Back to School Night” in late September and /or our Parent-Teacher conferences in late October. It’s always great to have opportunities for teachers and parents to review their student’s progress in school. Please feel free to visit us not only at events such as this, but also at any time, and become an active part of Cleveland High School. Congratulations to all of our fall sport teams for a successful season of sports competition. Our student-athletes and coaches deserve commendation for an outstanding season. We are proud of the many outstanding academic achievements of our students. Cleveland is honored to have two seniors recognized as National Merit Scholar Semi-Finalists. These students scored in the top 1% nationally on the PSAT test: Madison Hayes-Lattin and Keegan Williams-Thomas. We also would like to recognize our Commended students who scored in the top 5%: Molly Carpenter, Benjamin Celsi, Conor Henson, Samuel Johnson, and Helen Sanderson. Also, congratulations to Michaella Joseph for earning the 2015 National Achievement Program Outstanding participant award. Congratulations to our high achieving students! The end of the first quarter grading period, Friday, November 7th, is quickly approaching. Please ensure your student is up to date in completing their required assignments or projects to their teachers by this date. The following Monday, November 10th is Teacher Planning Day, and Tuesday, November 11th is Veterans Day (no school). Classes resume Wednesday, November 12th, a ‘B’ day. Sincerely, Paul Cook

The Cleveland High School PTA

How Does the PTA Spend Your Money?

We know you get inundated with requests for donations every month of the year – from arts organizations, relief agencies, political campaigns, and from Cleveland High School too. You’re asked to give money to the PTA, the Foundation, Choir and Band and numerous sports teams. We greatly appreciate every single penny. Honestly, Cleveland would not be the exceptional school that it is without the essentials and the extras provided by your generous donations.

So where does your money go when you donate to the PTA? First, I’m proud to report that less than 3% of our funds are used for administrative expenses. The rest go to a diverse assortment of worthy activities and necessities.

This month, we gave over $9700 in grants to Cleveland teachers, including Speech & Debate tournament fees for ELL students, mirrors for the Choir room, an African music, dance and curriculum workshop for the Chinook Freshman Academy, goggles and electric balances for our new Science teacher and a green screen lighting kit and microphones for our new Media Production class. We also gave $8000 for desktops, laptops and printers for the Library and other school staff. And we’ve got a lot more to support throughout the year – the Senior Lunch and Senior Party, Book Room Support, PTA Clothing Closet, the IB Program, College Scholarships, the College and Career Center, the Paper Fund, to name a few. Over the course of this school year, the PTA will donate close to $65,000 to Cleveland! This would not be possible without your generosity.

A hearty thank you from the PTA!

Rebecca Friedenwald-Fishman, PTA Treasurer

Future Business Leaders of America The Cleveland Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter is welcoming the fall season with a March of Dimes fundraiser. The "Pick-a' Pumpkin" sale of paper pumpkins (for $1.00) takes place between October 27 and November 7 during lunch near the library or at the Business Office. They will also be available during conferences at the business department table. It's a great experience for the students to help raise money for an organization that has celebrated its 75th anniversary, provided funds and research to cure polio, and now makes great strides to end premature birth. Nine FBLA members will attend Oregon Leadership Institute in Bend November 2 and 3 along with 300 students from five student leadership organizations to gain success skills for school, club, and community work. All students are welcome to join FBLA. Meetings are held alternate Wednesdays in room 378. The next meeting is on November 12 (see Ms. Owen-Cooper for details).

The CHS PTA publishes this newsletter each month. The deadline for the next issue of SPOTLIGHT is November 26, 2014, for the December issue. For information or questions regarding the content of this

CCC Offers Princeton Review Assessment, Monday, November 10th – Feedback session held on December 8th –

Seventy students have signed up to take the Princeton Review Assessment (PRA), the free SAT/ACT practice test offered by the College and Career Center (CCC). Students who are registered for the November 10th PRA should arrive at the CHS cafeteria by 7:45 am on that day; the test will begin at 8:00 am and last approximately 4 hours. Registered students will receive an email later this week detailing complete instructions for taking the PRA. The feedback session for the PRA will be held on Monday, December 8 at 7:00 pm in the CHS library. During this session, students will receive their scored tests. A Princeton Review representative will give feedback, clarifying the differences between the SAT and the ACT and sharing helpful testing strategies and tips. Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend this feedback session with their students. A second opportunity to take the PRA will be offered by the CCC at CHS on January 30 (the feedback evening will be held in early March). This session of the PRA will be open to sophomores as well as juniors. Interested students may sign up in the CCC starting in December. For further information on either PRA testing opportunity, contact the CCC.

Focus on the Foundation The Cleveland High School Foundation is a parent-led school-based organization committed to educational excellence at Cleveland. The Foundation is the only school organization that can raise money for staff, and that is the Foundation’s sole goal. Foundation funding has made possible additional classes in science, English, performing arts, math, and International Baccalaureate classes, and smaller Freshman Academies. This year the Foundation made possible the Culinary Arts course. This funding has also enabled Cleveland to bring critical part-time teachers to full-time status, enabling them to teach additional classes and participate in other student activities, such as coach a team or advise a club. The Cleveland principal determines the best use of Foundation funds, after consulting with teachers, the Foundation Board, parents, staff, and others. These are investments in every Cleveland student this school year, and they strengthen the school’s staffing and curriculum offerings for future years. The Foundation’s goal is to raise $85,000 for the 2014-15 school year. Every donation gets us closer to our goal and will make a real difference for our students.

The Cleveland Foundation raises money in several different ways throughout the school year. We strive to offer every Cleveland family and community business an opportunity to donate at a level that is comfortable for them and in a way they prefer. Throughout the year, the Foundation solicits those who would like to become a “Cleveland Warrior” by donating at the level of $500 or more. We have a raffle for a vacation trip and a “paddle raiser” at the PTA’s annual auction. We send every family an end-of-the year donation appeal request. And, we usually host a fun and informal event for parents during the school year. The Foundation counts on the support of parents, community members, and businesses who give what they can. To learn how you can contribute to maintaining excellence in education at Cleveland, go to the Foundation's website, at http://isupportchs.org/. The Foundation Board would be happy to answer any other questions you might have. Please contact Board President MaryKay West at [email protected]


International Baccalaureate (IB) News

IB Currency: College Credit and Advanced Placement Policies

In addition to promoting academic rigor and a college-preparatory curriculum at CHS, the IB program provides assessment opportunities for Cleveland students. Students participating in assessments in anticipation of the IB Diploma, or in individual IB Diploma Courses, demonstrate their preparedness for coursework beyond high school and earn college credit for their efforts. As the IB program in the United States expands, so do the opportunities for recognition. The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) lists colleges and universities that offer credit, placement and/or scholarships for high achievement on IB assessments. In addition, their website has recently added a search capability for investigating particular schools or policies for particular classes. Please go to www.ibo.org to Information for students to learn more about the policies of the schools that interest you. Because college policies do change, it is best to verify policies by consulting the school’s website, and/or admissions department directly. The Oregon University System (OUS) policy rewards all standard level (SL) and higher level (HL) exam scores of 5, 6, 7 with credit, as well as recognizing the TOK and Extended Essay work of the full Diploma students. Students can earn up to a year of credit at any Oregon public university.

May 2015 IB Exam Registration

The first deadline for IB Exam Registration for IB Juniors and Seniors is November 4, 2014. Late registration is possible, but more costly than registration prior to this deadline. You can find registration materials online at http://www.pps.k12.or.us/schools/cleveland/305.htm. Please contact Jennifer Wiandt at [email protected] , or call 503-916-5120 x75030, if you have any questions about IB exam registration for 2014-2015.

Attendance Policy

IB classes and assessments are very challenging and require consistent classroom attendance in order to be successful. The IB Faculty strongly recommends that students miss no more than 8 days a semester for whatever the reason (illness, appointment, college trip, scheduled competition, Outdoor School, etc.). Absences will adversely impact student performance. We urge students and families to plan to miss class only when it is absolutely necessary and to set priorities for what is necessary. Taking care to schedule engagements around the school day will ensure greater success in IB classes.

IB World Student Conferences for Summer 2015 IB World Student Conferences were designed for 11th and 10th graders enrolled in an IB Diploma

program. The conferences are held at various college campuses around the globe and bring together an international community of learners for a week of inspiration and collaboration around global initiatives. Last year the IB Organization offered 3 student conferences centering on themes of Empowering Diversity, Human Rights and The Future City. The 2015 conference schedule and locations will be announced in November. Please visit the website www.ibo.org/wsc/ or contact the IB coordinator at [email protected] for more details.

2-Year Planning for IB-bound Sophomores

Sophomores are invited to make an appointment with IB Coordinator Jennifer Wiandt during the months of November, December, or January to discuss IB planning for the junior and senior years. Students planning to earn an IB Diploma are required to make a 2-year plan. Appointments may be scheduled in the SSC, in Room 230 or by contacting Jennifer directly at [email protected] or 503-916-5120 x75030.


College 3X5: Three Things about Five Colleges Marine Science Programs

By Emily Standish, GoLocalPDX College Admission Coach

Marine biologists enjoy careers that include shark curator, hazardous waste manager, SCUBA instructor, environmental scientist and fisheries policy analyst. Students who want to become marine biologists have a strong affinity for science and math, and a desire to become conversant in not only the science but also conservation and policy issues in the field. Many students will begin with a degree in natural sciences and continue to earn an advanced degree in Marine Sciences. If you want to dive right in as an undergraduate, take a look at these schools:

Alaska Pacific University, Anchorage, AK www.alaskapacific.edu • Freshman and sophomore majors in Marine Biology at APU can work alongside professionals and take classes

in Scientific Diving, Aquarium Husbandry, Coral Reef Ecology, Ichthyology, and more! • The Behavior and Benthic Ecology Laboratory at APU houses the Alaska Octopus Project

(http://marine.alaskapacific.edu/octopus/ ), investigating population structures of octopus communities around the Pacific Rim

• By the numbers: 37% acceptance rate; SAT Mid-ranges: CR 465-575, M 450-510; ACT Mid-range: 20-23.

Colleges that think outside the box Nancy Griesemer | DC College Admissions Examiner September 29, 2014 Maybe they’re rebelling against the death of ‘holistic’ admissions and the baffling role technology now plays in the admissions process, or perhaps they’re reacting to demographic realities suggesting a diminished domestic applicant pool and consumer complaints about price.

Regardless of reasoning, admissions offices are looking for more creative ways to assess high school performance and admit applicants to their campuses.

In the past year, no less than 14 colleges have announced new policies designed to reduce the role of standardized testing in the admissions process and joined the FairTest list of test-optional/test-flexible colleges.

Others are using upgraded application software to provide for the submission of resumes or graded papers to supplement more traditionally required documents. And many are asking for creative responses to imaginative essay prompts.

Three colleges have taken the process to a whole new level by looking for ways to get at an applicant’s less “measurable” qualities:

Bard College In 2013, Bard College introduced something really new in admissions: The Bard Entrance Examination. This application option is designed to give motivated students an alternative to the traditional admission process by allowing juniors and seniors to complete an online test consisting of four essays, chosen from among 21 questions. The suggested length for each of the four essays is 2,500 words, with the exception of the math questions and the question that asks for a musical composition.

For the record, all the information needed to answer the questions is on the examination platform. But applicants may bring in other resources as long as they are properly cited. It’s not so much about what you already know as how you demonstrate “close reading, critical thinking, and the interpret problems.” Free to all, the exam became available on June 2 and is due on November 1, with notification of results by the end of December. Candidates scoring B+ or higher will receive an offer of admission.

Bennington College Already a member of the Common Application, Bennington College recently introduced an alternative application option for students applying for fall 2015. The “Dimensional Application” requires students to “demonstrate a record of academic achievement, a capacity for growth, contributions to their classrooms and communities, and the ability to articulate original ideas or insights” in any way they choose. In other words, Bennington is asking applicants to create an individual application through which they will decide what materials best represent their academic achievements and how they will contribute to the college community.

And students can choose just about anything to include with their application. They can submit more traditional materials such as a high school transcript, standardized test scores or recommendations OR they can submit other work they feel demonstrates academic ability. There is no suggested format, only the call “to be bold” and to “bring your own dimension to the college application.”

A panel of faculty members and Bennington alumni will be in charge of reviewing applications submitted this way. They will be looking for evidence that the applicant is creative, inventive, and motivated and has both written and computational abilities along with other competencies considered central to a Bennington education.

Students who wish to apply using this option should contact Bennington College’s admissions office at 800.833.6845 or [email protected].

Goucher College While still accepting both the Universal College Application and the Common App, Goucher has upped the ante by introducing the “Goucher Video App” to provide another opportunity for students show “what makes them unique, why they would flourish at Goucher, and how they will fit into our community of learners.”

Although other colleges including Hampshire and George Mason are inviting videos, Goucher goes a step further by allowing a two-minute video to substitute for traditional requirements such as test scores, transcripts and essays. Applicants will be required to submit two pieces of work from high school (one a graded paper), but the video alone will provide the main basis for the admissions decision.

Guidelines for format and contents are provided on the Goucher website. Videos will not be evaluated on “production quality,” but rather on “the thoughtfulness of the response.” Flashy special effects will not trump your ability to provide a sincere connection between you and Goucher College.

Video App submissions are due by December 1, and notifications mail on February 1. And really, you don’t have to submit a transcript—check out the video!

News From the Student Services Center (SSC)

Junior and Senior Parents

College Admissions Representatives Visit CHS Throughout November, CHS hosts admissions representatives from many universities throughout the U.S., including representatives from Ivy League schools, small liberal arts colleges, and the Oregon state universities. These visits are an excellent opportunity for your student to meet with these representatives personally, ask questions about their schools, and help the admissions reps put a name to a face when they are reading applications. The visit schedule is posted on Naviance and in the CCC (Career and College Center) and students can sign up to attend a session on their Naviance account.

CHS Financial Aid Night Questions about the FAFSA? Wondering how you’re going to pay for college? Don’t miss our financial aid night for students and their parents, Wednesday, December 10th at 7:00 pm in the CHS library. A guest speaker from Pacific University will present important financial aid information, as well as go over the FAFSA and answer questions.

Seniors and College By November, seniors should have a list of colleges where they plan to apply and they need to begin the application process. Early decision and early action deadlines happen this month and regular decision deadlines are coming quickly. All seniors received a red folder during counselor presentations in October. The folder includes instructions for applying to private colleges, state colleges and community colleges. Folders are available in the CCC (college and career center). The CCC is open daily from 9-3:30 and there are volunteers available to work with students on college searches, filling out college applications, searching for scholarships and much more. Any senior planning to attend a four-year college who has not yet taken the SAT or ACT should do so ASAP. Also, check college websites for testing information as some schools require SAT II tests (subject tests). Check test dates and register online: SAT—http://www.collegeboard.com ACT—http://www.actstudent.org

Seniors and Naviance This year, Naviance is REQUIRED for all seniors in their college application process. Counselors will be sending application materials, including transcripts, recommendation letters and school report forms, electronically through Naviance. Students must order transcripts through Naviance. Naviance is a program designed to aid the college planning and application process. Students can search for colleges and link directly to their websites, compare colleges, access the College Rep Visit schedule, check out admissions data from past Cleveland students, search for scholarships, receive emails from their counselors and much more! All scholarship and college visit information is available on Naviance and is updated weekly.

Graduation: Diploma Requirements and Naviance

In addition to credit and course requirements, every senior needs to complete three Personalized Learning requirements in Naviance in order to receive a diploma and walk across the Commencement stage in June.

Résumé: A résumé is a professional document that summarizes a student’s personal and technical skills, education and work/volunteer experiences. Seniors can fulfill this requirement by submitting a completed résumé to their Naviance accounts.

Career Related Learning Experiences: A CRLE is any experience that allows students to learn more about their place within the world of work. Examples: guest speaker, field trips, career fairs, job shadows, internship/ externship, mock job interviews and volunteer or service learning activities. Seniors can fulfill this requirement by completing a CRLE, and submitting a written summary of the experience to their Naviance accounts.

My Plan Essay/Extended Application: This is a new requirement and will be presented to seniors later this year in their English classes.

Those who have questions about any of these requirements, should contact Career Coordinator, Heidi Sause, in the Student Services Center.

Oregon University System Admissions Requirements

The Oregon University System states that a C- is the minimum grade a student must earn in order for an approved college preparatory course to be counted as meeting the OUS subject area requirement for admission. This means that a student with a D in a core class (English, History, Science, Foreign Language, Math) does not meet admissions requirements, even if he/she has the required minimum GPA. The university will review all applicants who don’t meet these requirements and determine eligibility on a case by case basis. Our recommendation is to make up a D by going to summer school or night school, or by retaking the course online. Be sure to see your counselor first before signing up for a make-up course.

NCAA Alert (from PPS website)

NCAA will not accept BYU Online courses or any other online course on transcripts if a student plans to participate in any Division I, Division II or NAIA sports. Questions? Contact NCAA.
