5/1/13 Parent Newsletter # 51

Leggings, Yoga Pants, and Cleavage As you know, if you give a teen “an inch,” he/she takes a mile. I believe we have been overly generous in trying to convey that leggings, jeggings, yoga pants, and other extremely tight fitting and revealing pants must have a long top over them to cover both the front and back private parts. This is absolutely not happening. The simplest way to handle it is to say none of these are allowed. So, from now on, these types of pants are not to be worn at TLH. We tried to allow them with long tops over them, but we failed miserably. In addition cleavage abounds when warm weather comes. We thought we had said it many times, but in case some teens missed it, here is the rule: BREASTS GO COMPLETELY INSIDE SHIRTS .

Some teen tricks they play on parents: (1) students may wear one outfit out the door when they leave for school but wear another into the school (sort of like when I used to have skirts down to my knees when I left home but rolled them up at the waistband until they were as short as everyone else’s); (2)some change clothes on the way to school or wear clothes over other clothes (may leave with jeans on but take those off to reveal yoga pants that are revealing); (3) some wear a jacket or sweater over a blouse that shows an enormous amount of cleavage (they walk past us and look fine, but then take their jackets off to reveal way too much skin later); (4) some buy clothing that they believe skirts by the dress code (all shirts must have sleeves in them, but students buy tops that have sleeves that have huge slits down the arm, so that it is completely revealed. They then argue that there is a sleeve in the shirt!

Sagging pants are a problem with some students. We have sent students home, disciplined them for continuously failing to follow the code, put zip ties on their belt loops, etc. Again, this is something that we don’t usually see when they walk into the school, but later their pants have miraculously dropped sometime during the day. Also, those of you who sit in the parking lot and witness dress code violations – this does not mean that the students looked that way inside the building. I can watch students as they leave put on caps, plug their earbuds in, sag their pants, turn their hats sideways, pull tops down to show more cleavage, and take off jeans to reveal short shorts. Understand as well that some of the people who are coming out of the building may not be students. We have constant visitors, parents, new students not yet enrolled, former students who come back to visit and others who are not bound by any dress code.

All we want is for students have on clothing that is not distracting to the educational process, that is decent in mixed company, and that does not place students in situations of being ridiculed by others who believe their dress is reflective of their morality. Please help us in any way you can.

See Changes in Yearly Calendar Below I have highlighted changes in the yearly calendar in red below and corrected a mistake about graduation practices.

Remember Senior Green Forms We still have a number of Seniors who have not turned in green forms. Students know what these are. Please ask your teen if he/she has turned this in.

Midterm Reports Midterm reports will be distributed to students during advisory on Friday, May 3, 2013.

Senior Graduation Meeting There will be a very important Senior Graduation Meeting on Tuesday, May 14, during 2nd block in the gym. All seniors and graduating juniors should plan to attend. Junior Marshals should plan to meet in room 117, Mrs. Harder’s classroom, after school on Friday, May 10th for approximately 20-30 minutes.

Ice Cream Social and Yearbook Signing Party for Seniors! Attention Seniors! Get your yearbooks early and enjoy ice cream sundaes on us! The senior video will be shown in the lecture hall and yearbook distribution will be afterwards. Join us on Tuesday, May 7, 2013, at 6:00 pm in the mall area. You must be present to pick-up your yearbook (we can’t give your yearbook to someone else). Both the party and program must be attended to get yearbooks. Seniors who cannot attend may pick up their yearbooks the next day during homeroom or lunch. There are a limited number of yearbooks for sale for those who did not order one (first come, first served @ $80 each). One may not use checks to pay for these yearbooks. Underclass distribution will be on May 8.

Senior Awards Night Information The Class of 2013 has much to be proud of. Awards Night this year is on Thursday, May 16, 2013, @ 6:30 pm. Seniors are asked to be present by 5:40 pm. This event is considered one of four graduation practices for Seniors and graduating Juniors. Students will line up down the 100 and 300 hallways and perform the processional that they will be doing on Graduation Day. Two lines of students will then process into the mall area. Senior Class officers and Junior Marshalls will lead the way. Students should dress appropriately and follow school dress code. (If any article of clothing is inappropriate to be worn to school, then it is inappropriate to wear to this event).

Graduation Meeting and Practices Tuesday May 21st 1st Block Mandatory graduation meeting

TLH Mall (You should arrive at the Friday May 24th 8:30 AM regular school time, and be seated and ready to practice by 8:30.)

TLH Mall (You should be lined up Tuesday May 28th 8:30 AM outside by this time.) Littlejohn Coliseum at Clemson University (You should be checked Wednesday May 29th 8:45 AM in at the tables and lined up by this time.)

Seniors must attend all four practices–the roll will be checked. NO EXCEPTIONS! Mrs. Hilton is the only one who can excuse any absences from practice. Parents need to call or email her to discuss issues that may interfere with any teen’s attendance at these practices. Appropriate school dress is expected and Seniors must wear their school ID. Appropriate behavior is required at the awards and at all practices. Behavior will dictate how long the awards and the practices last. Misbehavior will result in offenders being removed from the practice and denied participating in the graduation ceremony. Please note that no visitors are permitted at graduation practice, including children.

Some Seniors still have fees to clear with various teachers before they can get their diplomas. They need to clear this as soon as possible to avoid a long wait on the day of practices and the possibility of not receiving your diploma. All obligations (fees) must be cleared by Tuesday, May 28th at 8:30 a.m., or one will not be able to participate in graduation practice. There will be long lines close to that time, so clear fees EARLY!

Is the Wait List Worth The Wait? Wait lists are like admissions limbo. Most students are unsure how to proceed. There is no right or wrong direction, but a look at wait list statistics may help students make the right choice. Approximately one-third of all schools use wait lists; on average, 27% of students who stay on the wait list are eventually offered enrollment. Below are some tips for students who choose to stay on the wait list: Inform the school that he/she wants to remain on the wait list. (If the school provided a postcard for this purpose, he/she should complete and send it back.) Write a letter to the admissions office emphasizing his/her desire to attend. Keep the school updated on any recent achievements—academic milestones, awards, etc., that would enhance his/her application. Schedule a visit and request an interview. An interview will demonstrate his/her interest in attending and give him/her a personal contact in the admissions office. Reconsider the schools where he/she was accepted.

More about Cheer Tryouts Than You Ever Wanted to Know The truth is, we never want our teens to be disappointed. However, life is going to provide all of us with disappointments that we must learn to handle. Some teens come to us already accomplished at handling disappointment and misfortune; others come to us with little in the way of life’s hard lessons. At a high school TLH’s size, we try to provide enough clubs, organizations, sports, music, and other opportunities so that each teen will have a variety of activities in which to participate and “find his/her place” in our overall educational program. We have 37 sports teams and 44 clubs and organizations. The district has made a commitment to coaching supplements for the sports teams, and teachers volunteer generously to sponsor the clubs and organizations on their own time. It is inevitable that for activities in which tryouts are required that some students will not make the team.

Cheerleading has changed tremendously since parents were in high school. At one time, it was not even considered a sport…but now it is. It is a growing and evolving activity that, in its beginning, did not require much athleticism, but now it is just as much a sport and requires just as much athletic ability and specialized skill as any other sport. The S. C. High School League now recognizes it as a legitimate sport for teams that compete. This means also that girls must meet certain academic eligibility requirements. Since these tryouts were for a fall sport, this eligibility cannot be calculated until final grades are in for this year. One is eligible to participate in a fall sport only if he/she does well enough academically in the previous semester/year. This means that we will know in June whether or not the girls who tried out and made it will be eligible. If some are not, we will simply bring up the next girl’s name on the list of scores.

At TLH we are striving to build a strong cheer program that compares to other great cheer programs in the upstate. We want to have enthusiastic spirit teams to support our other sports teams, and we want to have a competitive cheer squad that can win competitions. In this day and time, a well-rounded cheerleader can cheer, dance, jump, stunt, and tumble. Just like a college applicant applying for a competitive school or scholarship, a cheerleader has to be good in all areas, and if she is slightly weaker in one skill, then she needs to make up for it by being very strong in another. In addition, each year the quality and/or number of the girls trying out may change. For example, it is easier to make the team if 40 are trying out instead of 80. There is no way for us to control how many girls show up to try out. We also have had groups of girls who cheer on competitive squads outside of the school, who bring with them some experience and competitive skills that others may not have. This is no different than students who play club baseball, soccer, or softball during the off-season and then try out for one of our teams. The skills and talents of girls who try out for cheer vary from year to year.

Also, since a new middle school (Glenview) has been opened, we now have two middle schools feeding into our program. Since that time, the numbers of girls trying out have been higher and the competition more fierce. The level of skill in the Glenview and McCants cheer programs is growing. Because of these influences, the TLH Cheer Program is going to continue to grow, get better, and become more competitive.

While prior experience and coaching can help a participant do better at tryouts, just as it can in any other sport, it is not required. We want every girl to have a fair chance at making a spirit team, and we provide them with assistance in the days prior to tryouts to help them do so. To help all girls prepare for tryouts, we hold three days of tryout practice in which all participants are taught a cheer and a dance on which they will be judged on the final day. During these three days, the girls are also taught how to do the required jumps, if they do not already know how to do so. Therefore, in the three days of spirit tryout practice, we are providing all participants with instruction on the skills that are required to make our spirit teams.

We do not teach tumbling at the practices because it is a skill in which one needs a certain level of athletic capability to perform, and tumbling also requires intensive instruction in proper technique so that it can be done safely. Taking into account the short three days of practice and the overwhelming number of participants, there is no way to provide instruction to all girls on tumbling skills. Because of this, we do not require tumbling skills for our spirit teams. We do require them for our competitive team because it is critical for competition. On tryout day, we normally have from 60 to 80 girls trying out for three teams: spirit (no tumbling required); competitive (tumbling required); and JV squad (no tumbling required).

There are several other ways in which we strive to make tryouts a very fair process. Here are some of the rules:  Each year, all former cheerleaders must try out again. No one is guaranteed a position because they have cheered before.  On the last day of tryout practice, the girls draw numbers for the order in which they will try out the following day.  On tryout day, the girls are all required to wear the same attire (white shirt or tank top and black shorts), so no girls can be identified as former cheerleaders and no girls can be judged more favorably because their outfits may be more fashionable.  Also, we give them tryout numbers to pin to their shirts. When each participant does her tryout, she is known to judges only by that number, not by name. At the same time, revealing the participants’ names would not be an issue if we chose to do so because the judges that we use for tryouts are qualified, out-of- town, professional judges that are hired and trained through the Universal Cheerleading Association. They have extensive knowledge about cheerleading, but do not know any of the girls.  Computers (Excel spreadsheets) are used to do scores in order to lessen the chance of a numerical mistake (it adds up the scores from the three judges and puts the girls’ names in descending order so that we can quickly identify the top 20 (or any other number) of girls in each category. Laptops are set up prior to judges arriving. A fourth laptop is used by me to check each entry and troubleshoot any possible problems. This is the only tryout that is attended by the principal.  In the past, we allowed senior cheerleaders to help in the tryouts. This year, we did not allow them to attend to minimize the chance that anyone could make any comments about the quality of any girls’ cheer/jump/dance. Only adults were in the room with each group of girls trying out.  All of these procedures are meant to draw attention to the girls’ skills instead of other extraneous criteria and make the tryouts fair to everyone.

This year at tryouts, the participants were all scored based off of the same score sheet. The top 20 scorers from the 8th through 9th grades were chosen as the cheerleaders for our JV Spirit Team for next year. The top 20 scorers from the 10th through 11th grades were chosen as the cheerleaders for our Varsity Spirit Team. Then, to select our competitive team, the top 23 scorers overall (who had the required tumbling) were chosen as our competitive cheerleaders for next year. Tumbling counted the same for all girls because they all had to be scored on the same skills for us to fairly select our spirit teams. We can’t judge our spirit cheerleaders on one set of skills and our competitive cheerleaders on another, because some are the same girls! We chose 40 total cheerleaders and of those, 23 were selected as competitive cheerleaders. By SCHSL rules, all competitive cheerleaders must cheer on a spirit team. Out of the 40 cheerleaders chosen, only 27 had tumbling skills. This means that 13 cheerleaders selected to be on next year’s squads (6 on JV Spirit and 7 on Varsity Spirit) have no tumbling skills whatsoever. Further, we had 29 participants who performed tumbling skills at tryouts for the judges. This means that two girls, who did tumble, did not make the teams. Tumbling did not make any girl a “shoe-in” for the team, and the lack of tumbling did not ban any girl from the team. In addition, we have had many girls who failed to make the team who decided to work hard in the off-season and try out again. Many of them made it the second time.

I know that all parents would love to shelter their children from all of life’s disappointments. The fact is – you will not be able to do so. None of us get everything we want. None of us succeed at everything we attempt. None of us will go through life without some amount of disappointment and suffering. Learning to deal with disappointment and move on is an important skill that students need before they leave your home for college, the military, or work. Just ask Michael Jordan, who was cut from his high school basketball team as a sophomore.

“The more we shelter children from every disappointment, the more devastating future disappointments will be.” Fred G. Gosman

Golf Team Wins Region The TL Hanna Boys’ Golf Team backed up its victory in last week's Easley Invitational by capturing the Region 1 4A Championship Monday at the Anderson Country Club. The Jackets won the day long, 36 hole event by 12 strokes over Easley by a team score of 592 to 604. Hillcrest (622) was third and Greenwood (634) was fourth. All will advance to upper state tournament next Tuesday, May 7, to determine who will advance to the state tournament. The Jackets received an outstanding performance from Sophomore Graham Farmer whose rounds of 71 and 69 earned the Region Tournament Medalist honors (the best player over 2 rounds!). Senior Bernie McShane's rounds of 72 and 74 earned him his third consecutive All-Region Tournament selection. Also contributing to the balanced Jacket attack were Senior Sloan Hart (75), Freshman Brady Cox (77- 76), Sophomore Alex Dorton (78) and Junior Grant Garrison (78). A top 8 finish at the upper state at Willow Creek will ensure a 2nd straight (3rd in 4 years) berth in the 4A State Golf Tournament at Furman University. Way to go Jackets!
