Eighth Period: GWCS Clubs & Electives
Click the button below to read descriptions of the GWCS elective classes and clubs. Most of these electives and clubs meet once per week during 8th period – but not all, and the best place to confirm times and dates is on the GWCS Calendar. We encourage all students to try at least one (or more). An elective is a class which means attendance is taken and grades and credit are earned. Clubs are more casual, and students do not earn grades or credit. So, come out and kick around a soccer ball, contribute to the GWCS Yearbook, experience history through HIM, build a robot, or maybe venture into acting, photography, sports, or hiking. Explore the variety of electives and clubs GWCS has to offer!
Are you or your student interested in taking the PSATs or SATs here at GWCS?
GWCS will be administering the PSATs & SATs on thursday, october 26th.
Which test should my student take? Look below for more information!
PSAT 8-9:
Results from the PSAT 8/9 allow you to evaluate each student's college and career readiness and determine which knowledge areas and skills need more work. Having these insights early in high school lets you intervene in time to get more of your students on track for success.
Expand access to your AP Program by identifying students who are ready for certain AP courses based on their performance on the PSAT 8/9.
PSAT/NMQST:
The PSAT/NMSQT takes 2 hours and 14 minutes and consists of 2 sections: (1) the Reading and Writing Section, and (2) the Math Section. Most of the questions are multiple choice, though some math questions ask you to write in the answer rather than select it.
If you've already taken the PSAT 8/9 or PSAT 10, you'll be able to track your improvement.
Access personalized recommendations about AP courses that are a good fit.
Students who take the PSAT/NMSQT and meet other program entry requirements specified in the PSAT/NMSQT Student Guide will enter the National Merit Scholarship Program, an academic competition for recognition and scholarships conducted by National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC).
SAT School Days:
Students don't need to register for the SAT School Day through College Board. GWCS offers the SAT School Day.
Many students take the SAT for the first time in the spring of their junior year, and then again in the fall of their senior year to improve their score.
High School Headphone Policy
Using Headphones:
Please refrain from using headphones during class to encourage participation and collaboration.
You can use headphones during breaks, or for breakout work, but keep the volume reasonable and be aware of your surroundings.
No headphones in hallways and during school events.
Try Earplugs!
Instead of headphones, try using earplugs to reduce noise while staying engaged.
We highly suggest Loop Experience EarPlugs - Amazon Link Here!
Consideration for Others:
Be respectful of classmates' need to learn and concentrate.
Guidance and Monitoring:
Teachers and staff will remind you about these guidelines.
Misuse may lead to temporary headphone confiscation.
Let's create a focused and inclusive learning environment at GWCS!
