Wildcat Roar

Students -

Final grades for students in 9-11 grades are due from teachers at 8:00 am on Friday, May 19. (This is two days AFTER the last day of school.) Keep this in mind as you're tempted to coast in the final days of school...

High School students in grades 9-11 will turn their Chromebooks & chargers in during the last days of school (May 15/16) so CTS can check them for repairs and updates.

Seniors in good standing may keep their Chromebooks and chargers.

Students in grades 9-11 who don't turn in a Chromebook and corresponding charger will be charged for replacement. Machines will be reissued to students in August.

Stay tuned for more information.

We're running out of time to have our NWEA Incentive, especially days that include our Seniors.

The only student suggestion I've received for the incentive day was 'Let's go outside.' So...let's go outside Monday afternoon.

I have emailed students who are not eligible to attend the incentive afternoon.

Eligible students - you may bring drinks and snacks. Eligible students may also be on their phones and use chairs/blankets if they don't want to walk in the circle drive or play games.

If the weather doesn't cooperate, we'll reschedule for later in the week.

The following email was sent from Mrs. Crews to Senior Parents/Guardians on 5/3:

Senior Parents -

What a week next week is set to be for your student! I am so excited to celebrate the Seniors through Baccalaureate, Senior Sendoff, Graduation and more, but especially with this year's Decision Day!

Next Wednesday, May 10, you are invited to join us for a morning highlighting the next steps of our 2023 grads - whether they are headed directly into the workforce, joining the military, attending college/tech school or participating in internships. Decision Day will take place from 9:00 AM-? (tentatively 11:00) in the foyer and cafeteria with a light breakfast as well as an opportunity to take part in an official signing in front of the Wildcat backdrop. This morning, I sent our Seniors a final update request to nail down their official plans at this time and will be contacting representatives, recruiters and future employers to invite them to attend the event alongside all of you. It has been requested that all students wear gear of some sort representing their next venture, as are you! If not, feel free to wear your favorite Slater shirt or whatever you are comfortable in!

If you plan to be a part of Decision Day with your Senior, please RSVP via email to me at Lcrews@slaterschools.net by Monday (5/8) at 3:00 PM. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Thank you!
Lauren

Each week, I'll highlight a Student/Parent Handbook policy. What makes it into the WILDCAT ROAR is usually something that I've been dealing with and/or I'm hoping to NOT have to deal with because all of our students and adults are aware of the policy. This week's Handbook Highlight is...

HONOR ROLL
All junior high and high school students are eligible to be placed on the school honor roll. Students must achieve GPA of 3.75-4.00 to be listed on the “A” honor roll. Students must achieve a GPA of 3.25 to 3.74 to qualify for the “B” Honor roll.

Due to liability concerns from MUSIC, our insurance company, pets are not permitted on school property.

This excludes service animals and classroom/curricular animals, pre approved by a Building Principal.

What staff member deserves a shout out?

Take a minute to let me know all about it by filling out THIS FORM.

Students, Parents, and Staff can give a shout out to any Slater Schools employee! We'll make sure they receive a copy of it and will look for ways to share them with you throughout the year as well.

Let's get to bragging about all the good people around here!

Do you have pictures that the yearbook could use?

Mrs. Shaw and the yearbook staff are looking for pictures of staff and students at school and school events. If you have pictures to share, please send them to rshaw@slaterschools.net.

Thank you!

Seniors - watch your email for information about Senior Trip and Graduation!

We will ask Seniors to stop by the HS Office at the beginning of the week to confirm the spelling of their name for their Diploma so we can get them ordered.

Speaking of Graduation...remember:

• Your attendance must be at least 90% to walk at the Graduation ceremony.
• Your Diploma must contain your legal name. At the ceremony, I can call your name as whatever you request - full name, first and last only, Andy instead of Andrew...

Every student has been issued his or her own Chromebook.

The loaner Chromebooks are to be used by students whose machines are being repaired.

If you have lost or forgotten your machine, you are on your own. You are still responsible for completing the work that was assigned - you just may get to do it on paper. Welcome to 1994. It was a good year. :)

Students, please don't park on the West side of the gravel lot (facing Morgan Street/Greenhouse, Weight Room, Maintenance Shed).

We need that area for District vehicles and staff members.

Thank you!

Students, if you're not coming back from lunch, please let Ms. Wiseman know - either before you leave for lunch, or call from where you are. Failure to do so could result in a Truancy Referral...
