A Short Review Of The New Code of Character, Conduct, and Support  
By Acacia Adams
The new Code of Character, Conduct, and Support in Wheatland-Chili HS has changed many things this upcoming school year, including the new consequence levels and procedures. Now that the code exists, there are different levels of offenses based on the seriousness of the crime one commits. Level one crimes include lateness for school without permission and infractions of the school’s dress code. If one were to do any of these things, one would have to speak with a teacher and concerns in behavior will be listed and tracked. This level has been at the school for a long time. However, a level that is new is level 2. Level 2 offenses include skipping school and excessive misconduct in the hallway.  If these occur, one would have to sit in a “restorative circle” with everyone who was in the altercation. Levels 3 and 4 are the out of school and in school suspensions.  
Level 2 has been the largest area of controversy. Some students believe that these codes are not beneficial to the climate and culture of Wheatland-Chili. They believe that sitting in a circle will not help to solve any problems. In fact, they believe the complications will become more problematic. Although these circles might work for the elementary school, some students think that for the high school the circle is unnecessary. Instead of sitting in a circle to solve problems, students believe it would be better to have a different protocol. Another thing we could do instead of the circle is use our school personnel such as Mr. Phillips and Ms. Keipper. They will help but only if the students want to talk about it.

Messerschmitt  Bf-109   If you were to think of an iconic German aircraft from the second  W orld  W ar, you are most likely to see an image of the Messerschmitt 109 in your head.

Its first taste of combat came during the Spanish  C ivil  W ar, in 1936, and stayed in service up until 1965 under the Spanish Airforce.

  Remote Learning During the Pandemic    By Ethan DeSalvo    Remote learning throughout Covid-19 has been a different experience and has presented many learning curves for students. These learning curves have proved difficult for students, but it has also provided teachers the time and situation to adapt to these types of situations and to be better prepared for the future if something similar where to happen. Remote learning has its downfall such as students are not paying attention and doing something else, and the many distractions of one's home. Covid-19 has also forced us to adapt to learning when school is out whether it be due to a pandemic or because of a snow day or something in the school breaks. Remote learning could eliminate the use of snow days though it has its setbacks for that such as power being down in a certain area in a town, and the many distractions of...
