Turning Point Educational Center

They aren't in the classroom today, so to speak, but they are vital to how our classrooms function. And they are a Godsend to our teachers who have the opportunity to work with them.
Thank you, paraprofessionals!

SPRING BREAK!
Be safe, be good, and have a great break!

We know a lot of you have the West Noble app, but a lot of you don't!
If you haven't added the app to your phone, you are missing out on quite a bit. Notifications about school delays and cancellations, live feeds from our social media, lunch menus, school calendars and updates, staff directories, pictures, news stories about positive happenings at our schools, and on and on.
If you want to stay up-to-date with all things West Noble, download the app...it's FREE! It will make your life easier.

A new positive initiative West Noble is putting into practice is something superintendent Dr. Lowe is endorsing as "Spotlight on Success". This recognizes entities of our school corporation who are going above and beyond to make West Noble a great place to learn and grow. This actually began in January in highlighting Hank Willems and the Work Based Learning program, and in February with our Student Resource Officers Chris Shearer and Grant Moser.
This past Monday at the school board meeting, the Technology Department for West Noble School Corporation was the Spotlight, showcasing not only the roles of the five whom work within, but some of the programs and perks that help our students and staff function at a high level, in and out of the classroom. Congrats to director Mike Burke and his staff on being March's Spotlight on Success!

Slice it up! Enjoy the goodness of National Pi Day!

It's been an institution for over four decades. Smash the goombas today as you enjoy Super Mario Bros. Day!

Love it or hate it, we are moving clocks forward tonight..."spring forward!"
More daylight is coming!

It's one of the best days of the year: National Oreo Day!
Get after it!

Turning Point is excited to announce another early graduate!
While most seniors are still counting down the days, this student, who would not like to be publicly named, finished his final credits ahead of schedule!
We are proud of our senior for locking in and putting for the extra effort to cross the finish line in March, rather than May!

One week go to!
Register today to join us at Stones Hill Church next Saturday (March 7) for our annual Night of Hope hosted by Turning Point Education Center.

Today is a Flex Day for the West Noble School Corp. Kids are working on eLearning assignments while staff members have been involved in team meetings, online tutorials and an informal learning session with Carrie Hoffman from Parkview Health regarding the new Shared Clinic for West Noble Schools. Specifically for the clinic, this is a new benefit for West Noble staff and their families to help with medical needs. Hoffman answered questions ranging from the clinic benefits, how it relates to insurance, what types of services can be rendered, and fielded direct questions from employees.
The kids aren't on campus today, but it was still a busy day with our staff and we continue to learn and grow!

A reminder that tomorrow is an e-learning flex day!

We are under a month away from the Turning Point's annual Night of Hope.
Set for March 7 at Stones Hill Community Church, this is the biggest fundraiser for Turning Point, part of the West Noble School Corporation. Dinner, auctions, entertainment and fellowship, it's a great night to unwind, hang with friends and neighbors, and support West Noble students at the same time.

Leadership comes in many forms, and today, we celebrate President's Day.

These guys right here...
Without them, who knows, but it's better having officers Shearer and Moser (and other members of the Ligonier PD) on campus keeping our events and daily life safe and sound.
Today West Noble School Corporation celebrates Officer Chris Shearer and Officer Grant Moser as our Student Resource Officers for SRO Appreciation Day!

With mental health, well being and support now on the forefront of the learning process, school counselors have an even more important role in schools and the classroom. We salute our unsung heroes today as we celebrate School Counselor Appreciation Day!

West Noble held its Fitness Center open house Friday evening at the high school, inviting the community to see West Noble's latest jewel to its campus. Among the evening was a photo opp in the weight room with members of the West Noble School Corporation school board as well as Ligonier mayor, Earle Franklin.
Before the start of the West Noble-Fairfield boys basketball game, Franklin was presented a commemorative plaque from West Noble school board president Joe Hutsell as West Noble superintendent recognized the moment.
We thank the Ligonier Redevelopment Commission for their support in helping complete the fitness center, and to all those who brought the center to life!
