Wildcat Roar

There is a charging cart for HS Chromebooks (the ones numbered as 22-_ _) in the HS hallway near Ms. Tristen's office.

I'm working on the one for HS Chromebooks numbered 21-_ _ and will let you know when it's ready to use.

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.

Students may wear costumes to school on Monday, October 31. Costumes must be school appropriate.

All costumes must follow the dress code (this implies the image your costume projects)

Questions of costume appropriateness need prior approval from an administrator.

No masks that cover the face area.

No gore.

No weapons (fake or real).

No terrorism related costumes.

No vulgar attire.

Face paints and hair colors are allowed.

We will have our October Student of the Month assembly and Costume Contest on October 31 as well.

We are currently revising our Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP) and seeking feedback through surveys to gauge how students/parents/community members feel about our culture and climate.

Please complete the appropriate survey below before October 28. Responses are anonymous and your feedback is appreciated!

Students will have an opportunity to complete the student survey this Monday.

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...

COLLEGE/CAREER DAY

All college/career days, to include the Military, will be set up in advance through the Guidance

Counselor for the absence to be considered excused, with appropriate policies being applied.

Such visits are restricted to two (2) visits per Junior year and three (3) per Senior year.

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 are not to be in the HS Building during lunch.

Permitted areas are the cafeteria and Patio (weather permitting).

If you have lunch money to turn in, please do so before school, at the beginning of lunch, or after school.

Heads up: We're noticing excessive trash on the floors and under desks/tables in classrooms. Please throw your trash away in the trash cans provided.

I have no desire to relive the microlockdown of March 2021 (no candy, no sodas, etc. in the building), but I'll go there if students don't manage their trash.

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.

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

If you earned a reserved parking spot for the 22-23 school year, you are able to paint your parking space. However, we're going to hold off on that until some repair and resealing work is complete. That date is TBA.

Painted Parking Spot information and contracts will be coming soon.

Stay tuned!
