Welcome to the 2nd semester! You've got this!
Important message from administration:
Dear Parent(s) and/or Guardian(s),
It is hard to believe that we are already starting the registration process for the 2020-2021 school year! It’s an exciting time for our students and we hope that the details below ensure that the process is as smooth as possible.
All students will take part in registration meetings this week. Students should report to class first and will be dismissed by a PA announcement. The schedule is as follows:
Tuesday, February 4th during 4th hour: Current freshmen
Wednesday, February 5th during 3rd hour: Current sophomores
Thursday, February 6th during 4th hour: Current juniors
During this meeting, students will hear a presentation on the various course offerings, graduation requirements and will start to select their courses for the 2020-2021 school year.
The master schedule and staffing are solely based on student requests. We ask students to choose their courses carefully because they are held accountable for the choices they make. Course changes will only be granted out of necessity for one of the following reasons:
An incomplete schedule
Previous completion of a course
Failure in a prerequisite course
Incorrect placement
Therefore, it is very important that students select courses they are interested in taking- even their alternates. We appreciate your help in reiterating this with your student! Please take a moment to look through your child’s course selections for the following school year to ensure that they are selecting courses they are truly interested in taking.
Teachers have made recommendations for further study in their particular discipline prior to this meeting. You can view these recommendations on PowerSchool. Since teachers have already worked with students for one semester, they have a reasonable perception of the course level that a particular student should be able to handle. Students should also look to their counselor for guidance in this process. In addition to knowledge of WBHS graduation requirements, the counselor can bring all of the disciplines into one program. Of course, parents/guardians are also an integral part of the course selection process. Thus, parents/guardians should be reviewing their student’s course selections. If you and/or your student disagree with a recommendation, you may complete an against recommendation form. However, it is important to note that if a student goes against recommendation we do not pull them from the course for any reason.
Following the registration meetings, students will be assigned to a scheduling day with their counselor during one of their english classes. Course selections in PowerSchool should be completed prior to your student’s assigned scheduling meeting. The due dates are as follows:
9th Grade: Monday, February 10th
10th Grade: Wednesday, February 19th
11th Grade: Monday, March 2nd
During scheduling days, students will meet with their counselor individually to make specific course selections for the coming school year. Course selection is dependent upon grade level, recommendation and availability.
Following the scheduling meetings, students and parents should check PowerSchool very carefully and make any corrections immediately by speaking with the student’s counselor. West Bloomfield High School course offerings are based solely on data received from students during these meetings. Again, students should not expect to change their course selections after registration. Therefore, it is very important that students are selecting primary courses and alternate courses that they are truly interested in taking. The primary goal for our registration process and procedures is for students to be able to begin the correct courses and to provide a smooth start when school resumes in the fall.
OVERALL COURSE SELECTIONS MAY NOT BE CHANGED AFTER APRIL 6TH
Finally, as students select their courses for the coming year they should take into consideration: The level of challenge of each course, the overall balance of their workload and potential effects on their mental health, and the career pathway they wish to pursue to be prepared for post-secondary education (university, community college, military, art school, vocational training). Students should take a minimum of four academics (Math, English, Science, Social Studies, Global Language) per semester. They should also review the course descriptions, so there are no surprises as to the expectations of the course.
If you have any questions or concerns throughout the registration process, please do not hesitate to email your child’s counselor.
Thank you,
Ashleigh Larkin
Assistant Principal
West Bloomfield High School
ASVAB Test at WBHS
The ASVAB will be given on Feb 14 at 7:15 am in the I-Center. The ASVAB is only available to 10th, 11th and 12th grade students. There are 60 spots available.
https://forms.gle/JyERG7EVr9fsSdTG8
The ASVAB measures developed abilities and helps predict future academic and occupational success. Your child doesn't have to go through any lengthy preparation to take the ASVAB. As with other tests, how much they have learned will probably make the most difference in their results.
Find the order and content of the ASVAB subtests and sample test items, below. More test taking strategies for your child.
If you have any questions, please see Ms. Jo Wegrzynowicz in the Counseling Office.

Rosa Parks Scholarship Foundation
The Rosa Parks Scholarship Foundation offers a $2,000, non-renewable scholarship
to Michigan high school graduating seniors. Winners are selected on the basis of
scholarship, leadership, financial need, and dedication to the civil rights principles of
Rosa L. Parks, whose historic stand against racial prejudice in 1955 brought her national recognition. The Foundation was established in 1980 to provide equal-opportunity scholarships to Michigan high school seniors.
A key determining factor in judging is ‘financial need.’ Students with
numerous other scholarships (especially full-tuition scholarships) will receive
a very low rating for ‘financial need,’ virtually eliminating them from
contention for this scholarship. Because of this, these students may choose not
to complete the Rosa Parks Scholarship Foundation application process.
Eligibility Requirements
Be a senior attending a public or private Michigan high school
Graduate by August of the application year.
Have GPA of 2.5 or above
Complete an application form and essay
Furnish official copies of high school transcript and ACT or SAT results
And, meet additional requirements as noted in application package

David Barns Scholarship
Hello Administrators & Counselors,
I am writing on behalf of David’s Faith & Hope for Life Foundation. The Foundation was established in early 2013 to continue the spirit and legacy of David Barns. David was a 2000 graduate of Goodrich High School where he achieved success in the classroom and in athletics. David attended the University of Detroit Mercy where he played basketball and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a Master’s degree in Computer Information Systems. Upon graduation, David became a basketball coach at Goodrich where he coached both boys and girls middle and high school teams. In addition to his obligations as a regular season coach, David used Saturday morning basketball clinics and his annual B&D summer basketball camps to teach skills, commitment, accountability, teamwork, and leadership. In March of 2011, David was diagnosed with cancer. For more than 18 months, he endured chemotherapy and radiation, complex surgeries, and intense rehabilitation. He handled every obstacle with a gentle grace and determination embodied by few. David courageously fought his competitor, cancer, to the very end. David passed away on November 4, 2012 at the age of 30.
We are pleased to offer your students a scholarship created in honor of David. The David Barns Scholarship will be awarded to two high school seniors that best represent David’s academic excellence, athletic prowess, and commitment to the community. The scholarship will provide $2,500 of financial assistance for college tuition. Additionally, the scholarship is eligible for renewal for three years, assuming good academic standing, continued community involvement, and a service commitment to the Foundation. The attached application is due by March 13, 2020.
If you have any questions about the Foundation or scholarship, please email info@faithhopelife.com or visit our website at https://faithhopelife.com/scholarship/.
