12 Guidance Department Information

Tug-of-war or
Christian partnership?
Imagine this situation. You take your child into an
open outdoor area and tie a thick rope around his/
her waist with enough rope left over on each side
for twenty individuals to grab hold of and play an
earnest game of tug-of-war. You bring in twenty
Chicago Bears and place them on one side, then
bring in twenty Green Bay Packers and place them
on the other side. Directions are given to both
sides that on the count of three, each team is to
pull as hard as they can. (Team pride and all that.)
“One, two, three...” Each side pulls with all the
strength that twenty NFL titans can muster. What
about your child who is now caught in the middle?
It would not be a pretty sight.
A ridiculous scenario? Yes, indeed. No parent
would do that to a child.
Yet, it is a tactic that Satan craftily and consistently
uses in his evil efforts at drawing young people
away from God and closer to him. Furthermore,
to add insult to injury, Satan uses two of the
foundational influences in a young person’s life–the
home and the school–as his primary “weapons”
in this assault on the faith of our young men and
women. How can this be? The plan is really quite
simple.
Have parent(s) send their child to a Christian
school which uses the teachings and principles for
Godly living found in God’s Word as the basis for
all instruction. Then have the parents’ personal
lifestyle contradict certain aspects of what their
child is being taught at school.
• Have parents use phrases like “I don’t care
what that school (or teacher) says. I’m your
parent and you’ll do what I tell you to do.” If
the young person points out that the teachers
showed that God’s Word clearly states an
action is wrong, be sure the parents point out
that this is a part of the Bible they don’t
accept.
• Continue to place the young person in a
position where s(he) is torn between love and
loyalty for parents and what s(he) knows is
God’s will, as s(he) learned about it at school.
• After enough years of living with this
contradictory instruction and modeling in
living, a young person could eventually be
2 PRINCIPAL’S NEWSLETTER Sept/Oct 2012
filled with uncertainty and frustration. Faith
could well be dwindling. There could be yet
another victim of Satan’s evil “tug-of-war”
tactic.
Parents who send their young people to Wisconsin
Lutheran High School need to understand this:
this is one of those Christian schools which
uses teachings and principles for Godly living
found in God’s Word as the basis for all
instruction. The school will continue to instruct
our youth in God’s ways, as clearly stated in his
holy, error-free Word. At WLHS students are not
just taught God’s directives for righteous living but
are encouraged and supported in their efforts to
obey these directives.
This is done with the fervent hope that what young
people are taught at WLHS is only a reinforcement
of what they are being taught and shown at home.
When such an arrangement exists, young people
will not find themselves caught in the middle and
faced with the dilemma of choosing a side.
Instead, they will grow into adulthood knowing
what is right and what is wrong, as clearly
identified in the Word.
More importantly, they will have watched people
they love and respect live what is right and avoid
what is wrong, inspiring them to do the same.
Their faith will grow and the Lord’s blessings will be
showered upon them. What more could we want
for our young people?
Parents and guardians, you have entrusted your
children into the care of your teachers at Wisconsin
Lutheran High School. You rightfully expect much
of us–on many different levels–and we enthusiastically
yet humbly accept this responsibility.
However, know this: we will never budge an
inch when teaching your children the truths
of our Lord’s Word, especially as it applies to
their daily living.
We teachers and staff workers at WLHS pray that
this is also what you parents and guardians teach in
your homes; that this is how you strive to live your
own lives. If this is what you do, then we have a
beautiful partnership and your children will be blessed
through it.
God bless our home-school and faith-nurturing
efforts.

We currently have 14 students enrolled in the
international student program–eight returning
students and six new students. Twelve students
come from China, and two students are from
South Korea. Three students are housed in the
International House on campus with the others
living with host families. The new students appear
to be adjusting well to the WLHS culture, and the
returning students are certainly adjusted and fully
engaged in school life.
It is a true cause for joy knowing that these young
men and women are in a lutheran christian culture
and are hearing and experiencing the sin and grace
message each day. Ms. Hannah Reinke continues
to serve as coordinator for the international student

The theme for this year’s Homecoming Dance is “There’s No
Place Like Home-coming.” All students will need to have a
means of transportation from school promptly at the end of
the dance. Curfew is 11:00 P.M. in Milwaukee County, so it is
important that our students not be allowed to walk home or
take the bus after the dance.
• dance cost: $9.00 per person includes refreshments.
• attire: Semi-formal (NO JEANS!!) Young men wear ties
or sweaters and young women wear dresses or dress
pants.
• Guests: Due to limited space, only seniors are allowed
to invite guest dates from other schools. A senior girl
may bring her boyfriend and a senior boy may bring his
girlfriend. They may not bring in guest dates for
others.
WLHS seeks to conduct dances that will provide for the
social development of its students in accordance with the
Word of God. To help young Christians develop norms of
behavior that are consistent with God’s ways, the following
guidelines have been developed.
• Dances must be chaperoned by faculty and administration
with parental help.
• Students are expected to conduct themselves and dress
in such a way that they reflect the will and love of their
Lord.
• Only seniors may bring guests. All guests must be
registered and must be limited to one guest per person.
• WLHS seniors are responsible for the conduct of their
guests.
• Students will not be admitted to the dance any later than
8:30 P.M.
• Once a student leaves the building, he or she may not
re-enter. If students must go to their cars, a chaperone
must accompany them.
• No alcohol or any other illegal substance is allowed on the
premises. School smoking rules apply.
• I.D. cards and tickets must be presented to gain entrance
to the dance.
• Students must have a way home promptly at
11:00 P.M.
Suggested Guidelines For
Parents Of Teenagers
attending a Party
� Parents should know where their teenagers will
be. Obtain the address and phone number of the
party giver.
� Contact the parents of the party-giver to:
a) verify the occasion;
b) offer assistance to help as a chaperone
or as a chauffeur;
c) make sure a parent will be present;
d) be certain that alcohol and other drugs
will not be permitted.
� Discuss with your teen how to handle a situation
where alcohol or other drugs are available at a
party. Let your teen know what you expect. Help
your teen develop a comfortable way to refuse
alcohol or other drugs.
� Know when your teen will get home from the
party.
� If your teen stays overnight with a friend after a
party, check with the parents of the friend to
verify that they will be home and that they want
your teen to stay over. Spontaneous “sleepover”
arrangements should always be confirmed with
the host parents.
Suggested Guidelines For
Parents Hosting a Party
� Set the ground rules with your teen before the
party. Let your child know what you expect. It is
important to stress shared responsibility for
hosting the party.
� A parent should be at home during the party and
should bring in the snacks and non-alcoholic
beverages. Not only will your presence help
keep the party running smoothly, but it will also
give you an opportunity to meet your teen’s
friends.
� It is illegal to offer alcohol to guests under legal
drinking age, even if your guests are staying
overnight.
� Limit party attendance and times. Small groups
are easier to handle. Set time limits for the
party that enable teens to be home at a
reasonable time.
� Guests should not be allowed to come and go.
� Anticipate phone calls from parents and try to
answer questions clearly and fully.

Half Day Schedule for
Teacher Professional Developement
The Common Core State
Standards Initiative (CCSSI) is
a national project focused on
developing educational standards
that will ensure that all students
are prepared for success in postsecondary
education and the
workforce. Forty-eight states,
including Wisconsin, have made
the commitment to support the
established national educational
standards.
The standards are designed to be
rigorous and relevant to the real
world, reflecting the knowledge
and skills that our young people
need for success in college and
to compete successfully in the
global economy in which they
will work.
The WLHS teachers were
introduced to the CCSSI in
a special inservice last
spring. Focus this year
will be on the following
goals:
• Review the standards
and align the
standards with our
school and department
outcomes.
• Teachers will develop
a minimum of one
unit that supports
the standards.
• Teachers will design
and teach lessons
that support the
standards.

Four days during this school year
will have an abbreviated
schedule that dismisses students
at 11:43 A.M. Teachers will then
have a three hour block of time

Key to successful
completion of these goals
is that department
members work together
on standards alignment
and implementation.
Because so many of our Teacher Meetings .... Noon–3:00
teachers are involved in
co-curricular activities
after school, it is difficult
to find a time slot when
all members can attend a design session. To address this, the
Board of Directors has approved release time for our teachers for
professional study and work.
Technology Plan
Implementation of the School Five Year
Technology Plan, approved by the Board last
spring, has begun.
Year One (2012-2013)
• Focus on infrastructure with emphasis on
providing wireless access throughout the
building. 80% of the building will have
wireless access by the end of the 2012-
2013 school year.
• Faculty professional growth activities will
focus on developing skills so that
teachers can personally facilitate their
students in knowledge and skill
development. Emphasis this year will be
on Google Apps.
• An intensive one day inservice was held
during Inservice Week that focused on
research sources for teachers and
students, introduction to Google Apps
sites, and the Web classroom for
grading, attendance, and communication
with parents.
Year Two (2013-2014)
• Emphasis on advanced professional
development for teachers on instructional
use, supervision, and support of
technology. Virtualization, cloud
possibility, and BYOT will be assessed.
Year Three (2014-2015)
• Focus will be on the implementation
of virtualization with web-based offerings
a possibility. BYOT will be phased into
instruction, perhaps at an accelerated
rate.
Year Four (2015-2016)
• Full implementation of BYOT and
increased use of web-based courses

Gifted For Praise
...will make WLHS a “cool” place to praise.
The storyline read: “MILWAUKEE (AP) - Southern
Wisconsin officials are preparing for a triple-digit
heat wave by issuing burning bans and extending
pool hours. Temperatures are forecast to peak
in the upper 90’s to low 100’s on Wednesday in
Milwaukee.”
You wouldn’t know it was so hot by looking at the
smiling faces on these students. What troopers–
these five students, Hannah Frey, alyssa
Mariscal, Tepra Wright, daniel Frey, and
ashley Meeks, helped model at a photo shoot on
a 98 degree day during this hot summer. For a few
hours, photos were taken–sometimes under the hot
lights needed for photo shoots–in the south wing of
the original portion of WLHS, built in 1958. An airconditioned
school would have felt much better.
Our theology, English, foreign language, and
business education teachers know all too well how
difficult it is to teach in hot classrooms. Many try
to keep the class cool with fans (it is rumored one
teacher has 14 fans in his classroom!). For WLHS
students, heading back to school in the dog days of
summer, they might feel the conditions inside WLHS
are akin to being in a sauna.
Gifted for Praise, a comprehensive campaign,
includes plans to install air-conditioning to better
serve WLHS’ youth and faculty/staff. The concept
of adding air-conditioning to the south wing of the
building is not new; this need has been discussed
for many years. But, this is the first time it is in the
actual plans of a campaign.
Studies have been done on how the lack of airconditioning
has an impact on students. They
have revealed that air-conditioning is the secondmost
important variable in explaining low student
achievement. Data collected from the Council
of Educational Facility Planners International for
Healthy Schools reveals that temperature clearly
affects the attention span of students. The optimal
conditions for learning are between 68 and 74
degrees.
10 PRINCIPAL’S NEWSLETTER Sept/Oct 2012
What specifically will air-conditioning do for WLHS?
• Improve the learning environment in the
south wing
• Increase efficiencies for faculty and students in
theology and English, which includes the entire
student body, and foreign language and
business departments
• Increase motivation and attention for teachers
and students working in the south wing of the
building
• Increase academic scores
• Increase retention of the concepts being taught
• Increase utilization of the building year-round
Thankfully, Gifted for Praise dollars will be
committed to air-conditioning in the near future,
making WLHS a “cool” place to praise!

JUNiORS
The guidance counselors met with
juniors in September in small groups to
preview their senior year and discuss
post-high school plans. Information
was shared about college entrance
exams and requirements, four-year
college vs. technical college, and senior
year academics.
The PSAT test is being written on
Wednesday, October 17, this year. This
is a voluntary test taken by juniors
that are four-year college bound. This
test gives them experience in writing
college entrance exams and establishes
eligibility for National Merit
Scholarships. Again, it is a voluntary
test and is not required of juniors.
Juniors will receive information to sign
up as the test date approaches.
SOPHOMORES
All sophomores will be writing the PLAN
test on Monday, October 8, from 7:45–
11:00 A.M. More information will be
forwarded to sophomores as this date
approaches.
FRESHMEN
During the week of September 17 the
freshmen were introduced to the
Guidance Office and its services
through a presentation given by the
guidance counselors. Scheduling,
academic requirements, career
planning, and personal counseling were
some of the guidance services shared
with the freshmen.
