Wildcat Roar

On Wednesday, December 21st, students who qualified for the Winter NWEA Incentive (see criteria below) on ALL FOUR tests will travel to the Glasgow Bowling Alley to bowl from 9:00 am to 11:00 am.

I emailed students who did not meet the criteria earlier this afternoon (12/18).

NWEA Incentive Criteria (must meet three out of four for ALL tests):

• Attendance the day of the test
• No outbursts or disruptions
• No rapid guessing
• Score improvement

Students won't pay to bowl, but can bring money for other games or snacks.

To attend, students must turn in a Field Trip Permission Form (see below) to the HS Office by the end of the day TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20.

Printed copies are in the HS Office as well.

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...

Royalty selection for Courtwarming:

1. All Junior and Senior girls in good standing three weeks prior to Courtwarming shall be on

the Courtwarming Queen candidate selection ballot.

2. The members of the boys’ basketball team will select three girls to be Courtwarming

Queen candidates approximately 2 weeks prior to Court warming. The members of

the girls’ basketball team will select three boys to be Courtwarming King Candidates

approximately 2 weeks prior to Courtwarming.

3. The HS student body will vote for one girl to be Courtwarming Queen and one boy to be

Courtwarming King by Google Form (sent via school email) in an election held during the week of Courtwarming.

** 2023 Courtwarming is January 13. **

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!

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...

(See contact information above.)

Starting Monday, November 28, Ms. Mindy Wiseman will be our HS Secretary.

Parents/students can contact Ms. Wiseman by email: mwiseman@slaterschools.net or phone: 660-529-2278, ext. 107.

Make sure to welcome Ms. Wiseman when you see her this week!

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.

The time has come, students!

If you earned a reserved parking spot (21-22 Students of the Month, Field Day Winners - see the list below), you're officially able to begin the painting process! See the Contract below. Printed copies are available in the HS Office.

Spoiler alert:

- There's a $25 deposit this year. You'll get it back after repainting your spot at a day and time to be determined. Materials for this will be provided by the school.

Clarification:

You don't have to be on the list to park at school/drive. These are the students who have earned reserved spots that they may choose to personalize by painting. If you don't have a reserved spot, you can park in the Gravel Lot south of the HS Building or North of the ECC, off of Morgan Street.

There is a charging cart for HS Chromebooks in the HS hallway near Ms.Wiseman's office.

If your machine needs to be charged during the day, these are the locations. Do NOT unplug anyone's machine, do NOT mess with anyone else's machine, and do NOT move the carts.

Please note the revised policy for Unsportsmanlike Actions at an extra-curricular activity (Board of Education approved 9.27.22).

Unsportsmanlike Actions at an Extra-Curricular Activity

Step 1- Administrator Warning

Step 2- Minimum of 1 week, up to and including 365-day suspension from all District extra-curricular events.

Step 3- 365-day suspension from all District extra-curricular events
