BELONGING IN CHOIR!
In choir, we’ve been focusing on the importance of empathy and the impact our words can have on others. Today, our high school choir students put that lesson into action by writing a shout-out or heartfelt compliment to a classmate and posting it for everyone to see. A simple but meaningful way to spread kindness, build connections, and lift one another up!

🎓 Exploring Opportunities Beyond High School! 🐾
Each year, Watervliet High School students participate in a college campus tour designated for their grade level. Our goal is to expose every student to opportunities beyond high school and encourage them to consider continuing their education through college, career training, or other postsecondary programs.
Today, our seniors visited Lake Michigan College (LMC) to explore the campus, learn about the programs and opportunities available, and discover what their next chapter could look like!
We want every Panther to graduate knowing that there are many paths to success and that their future is full of possibilities! 🎓🐾

JMG seniors spent a full day of leadership development, team building, connection, and fun. Through hands-on activities and challenges, these students:
- Built confidence and strengthened their leadership skills
- Connected and collaborated with their fellow JMG students from around the state
- Challenged themselves as future leaders and as a teammates
- Gained skills, ideas, and experiences to take back to their home programs
- Climbed rock walls, harnessed archery skills, and took on obstacle ropes courses to challenge themselves physically and mentally
Our Watervliet seniors have been challenged to leave feeling inspired, empowered, and ready to take the lead in JMG class and beyond.
Pictured from left to right are:
Maria Hernandez Cruz, Mrs. Bartee (teacher), Adrian Hernandez, Cayden Ryan, and Kyle Domingo Sturgeon; These seniors and leaders were especially chosen for this opportunity.
ATHLETIC EVENTS FOR THE COMING WEEK!

Attention Watervliet High School students! Varsity Winter Cheer tryouts will be held November 9th and 10th in the auditorium from 3:30 - 5:00 PM.

ATTENTION ALL PANTHERS!
The 2027-28 FAFSA Form is Available!
Did you hear? The 2027-28 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form is available now at fafsa.gov. Most students can complete the form and see their results in 15 minutes or less. Encourage your students to submit the 2027-28 FAFSA form today. Additionally, the following resources are available to assist students and families in completing the FAFSA: Please share with your students, families and communities!
🎓 Seniors: Completing the FAFSA Is a Graduation Requirement!
At Watervliet High School, all seniors are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as part of their graduation requirements.
Not planning to attend college next year? You should still complete the FAFSA! Plans can change, and completing the FAFSA helps students explore financial opportunities they may not even know are available. The FAFSA can open doors to grants, scholarships, work-study opportunities, and financial assistance for community colleges, universities, and eligible trade and technical programs.
Even if a student plans to enter the workforce, join the military, or take time off after graduation, completing the FAFSA keeps future educational options open. Completing the FAFSA does not obligate a student to attend college, accept financial aid, or take out student loans.
Our goal is to make sure every WHS graduate leaves with as many opportunities available to them as possible. We encourage all seniors and their families to complete the FAFSA as soon as it becomes available and reach out to our counseling office if they need assistance.
🐾 Panthers, your future is full of possibilities—don't leave money or opportunities on the table!
WHAT'S UP IN SPANISH 1?

To start the project students are making their own butterfly, representing their likes.
WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU HERE!
Varsity Yearbook Fall Conference
Yearbook students traveled to Western Michigan University for the Varsity Yearbook Fall Conference. There they learned about theme development, writing captions, the role of AI in yearbook production, and important elements of yearbook design. It was a fun-filled, informational day capped off with a stop for lunch and team bonding. The yearbook staff is excited to begin developing the 2027 yearbook with all of the new ideas they learned.

The Preamble
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Article VI Paragraph 2
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
Amendment XIV Section 3
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Amendment XXII Section 1
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

ATTENTION SENIOR PARENTS!
🎓 Did You Know? Your Student May Qualify for FREE College Tuition Through TIP?
Michigan's Tuition Incentive Program (TIP) helps eligible students pay for college or career training after high school. TIP can cover tuition at participating Michigan colleges for qualifying certificate and associate degree programs, with additional financial assistance available toward a bachelor's degree.
How does a student qualify? Students must have received Medicaid coverage for at least 24 months within a 36-month period between age 9 and high school graduation. Families may not realize their student qualifies, even if they no longer receive Medicaid!
Students must also complete the FAFSA, meet Michigan residency and other eligibility requirements, graduate within the program's age limits, and begin using TIP within four years of graduation.
Not sure if your student qualifies? Visit Michigan's MiSSG Student Portal or call 888-447-2687 to check eligibility.
🐾 Don't miss out on money for college! We encourage WHS families to explore this valuable opportunity and contact our counseling office with questions.

OPEN TO ALL STUDENTS--CHECK IT OUT!!
GIRLS WHO CODE
I am thrilled to share that applications are now open for Girls Who Code's Spring Pathways program!
Pathways is a free, virtual program that empowers high school girls and non-binary students of all experience levels to explore AI, Game Design, Cybersecurity, and more, while learning how to build tech for good. The program is entirely flexible in how participants choose to learn and requires no prior coding experience. Students complete courses at their own pace over seven weeks, from March 1st to April 18th.
Beyond coding, students gain real-world insights through Partner Events with leading tech organizations, connect with peers through Girls Who Code’s private Discord community, and join optional Student Hours for live support. Participants earn a certificate for each completed course and join Girls Who Code’s lifelong alumni network, gaining access to mentorship, internships, and career opportunities in tech.
Students can apply by October 28th for priority consideration. The application closes on December 16th.
🛡️ Students Have Access to Relay 12
All WHS students have access to Relay 12 through the Clever link on their school-issued device. Relay 12 provides students with another way to report serious safety concerns directly to building administrators.
If a student is concerned that someone may harm themselves or someone else, or becomes aware of another serious safety concern but does not feel comfortable talking with or emailing a teacher or administrator, they can click the Relay 12 link anytime to submit a report.
Please encourage your child to remember: If you see or hear something concerning, say something. We want our students to feel safe asking for help—for themselves or someone else. 🐾
AFTER SCHOOL HOMEWORK HELP SCHEDULE
🐾 PBIS Focus of the Week: MEDIA CENTER Expectations
As part of our Tier 1 PBIS plan, students receive a brief review each week of our schoolwide expectations for a specific area of the building. These weekly reminders help ensure that all students clearly understand what it looks like to be respectful, responsible, and safe throughout Watervliet High School.
Next week, students will review our MEDIA CENTER Expectations with their 2nd-hour teacher.
We encourage you to take a few minutes to read through the MEDIA CENTER expectations below and review them with your child at home. When school and families reinforce the same expectations, it helps us create a positive, safe, and successful environment for everyone.
Thank you for partnering with us! 🐾

DRESS CODE REMINDER
As we prepare to welcome students back, we want to remind everyone of a few WHS dress code expectations. Our goal is to keep expectations simple and ensure students come to school dressed appropriately for a learning environment.
A few of the most common dress code concerns to remember:
- Crop tops are not permitted. Shirts should provide appropriate coverage of the midsection.
- Undergarments should not be visible. This includes tops worn off the shoulder that expose bra straps.
- Shorts must provide appropriate coverage. Shorts should completely cover the buttocks at all times, including when sitting, bending, or moving.
- Pajamas are reserved for Early Release Wednesdays. Students should wear regular school-appropriate clothing on all other school days.
We appreciate families reviewing these expectations with students before the first day of school. Starting the year with everyone understanding the expectations helps us keep the focus where it belongs—on learning, relationships, and having a great school year!
Thank you for your support, Panthers! 🐾
