Redesigned SAT scores and Bright Futures

Contact: P. Hernandez (Office of Student Financial Assistance – 850-

245-1821)

OSFA staff had the opportunity to meet with College Board representatives and Board of Governor personnel last week to discuss scoring of the new redesigned SAT (first administered March 2016) for Bright Futures and SUS evaluations. The College Board informed us that the scores from the Redesigned SAT are vastly different from the old SAT and must be treated as if it is a separate entrance exam. Similar to how OSFA cannot combine scores across the SAT and the ACT, OSFA will NOT be able to take the best scores across the old SAT and the new Redesigned SAT. ***Please know that Bright Futures will not “super score” between the old SAT and the new SAT. They will “super score” your old SAT scores. They will “super score” your new SAT scores. BUT, will NOT combine old and new SAT scores.

Junior-Senior Prom 2016

Contact: K. Schmidt (833-3300 ext. 1811)

Seniors will receive their Prom Invitation in WAVE after Spring Break. If a senior does not get an invitation, please see Mrs. Lemasters in the Guidance Office.

If one of our students wants to bring a date who does not attend our school, the date must be old enough to attend high school, but not older than 20 and must be approved by the Administration. If the date lives out of Okaloosa County, our student must pick up a form and get it to the date’s school and ask that school to fax it back to us. Forms are available starting Monday, March 28th. We must have the form back by 2:15pm on Friday, April 22nd in order to approve the date attending the Prom. Students, whose date attends an Okaloosa school, must pick up and complete a form. The form is due to Attendance no later than 2:15pm on Friday, April 22nd. APPROVAL IS NOT AUTOMATIC! The student will be notified if the date is not approved. If the date is not approved, the student will not be able to purchase a ticket. Please do not purchase dresses, rent tuxedoes, or line up a limo unless the date has been approved, because if the date is not approved, he/she will not be attending the Prom. Both forms are available in the Attendance Office starting Monday, March 28th.

years old; 1.3 million military children are school-aged. Care of military children sustains our fighting force, and strengthens the health, security, and safety of our nation's families and communities. From deployments to new schools, military children are faced with unique challenges that ordinary youth their age never experience. Their ability to adapt to present and future changes deserves our respect and admiration. To promote community awareness and support of military children, everyone is invited to participate in “Purple Up!” Purple Up! is an annual campaign that was created four years ago as a way to show support and thanks to our military youth for their strength and sacrifices. On April 15th wear the color purple as a visible way to show support for the FWBHS military youth. Why purple? Purple is the color that symbolizes all branches of the military, as it is a combination of Army green, Marine red, and Coast Guard, Air Force, and Navy blues.

Tickets are now on sale for LEGALLY BLONDE, Fort Walton Beach High School’s

spring musical. Based on the popular 2001 film starring Reese Witherspoon,

the musical is fun and quirky with highly catchy songs and energy-charged

choreography and involves over 100 students in the cast and crew. The musical

runs Thursday, April 14th through Saturday, April 16th, at 7:00pm, and Sunday,

April 17th, at 2:00pm, at the Ft. Walton Beach High School Theatre, 400

being “serious” enough, uses her underestimated intelligence to get into

Harvard Law School to impress him. Far from her comfort zone, Elle is suddenly

a misfit, who, with the help of new friends Emmett (Grant Oberle), a teaching

assistant with a working class background, and Paulette (Sydney Johnson-

Bethea), a down-on-her-luck hairdresser, finds her true calling in life (hint: It’s

not Warner). Also guiding her is a “Greek chorus” made up of her UCLA sorority

sisters, who only she (and later Paulette) can see. Her biggest foils are Harvard

elite mean girl Vivienne (Sydney Whittaker), who also happens to be Warner’s

Jackie O-like girlfriend, and the agenda-driven Professor Callahan (Jake Eiche).

During her journey to find love, Elle discovers that disappointment is only

opportunity in disguise, and proves that being true to yourself never goes out of

style. This high-energy pop musical's fun and catchy score features music and

lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin, and a hysterical book by Heather

Hach.

Pre-sale tickets are available in the school office and from cast members for

$10. Tickets will also be sold at the door but will be $15. The performance is

rated PG-13 for sexual innuendo, so parental discretion is advised.

The Sunday, April 17 matinee is “Going to the Dogs” day, and anyone who brings

a bag of dog food (of at least 3.5 pounds) to be donated to local shelters and

rescues will get $5.00 off the admission price. Follow us on Twitter:
