Wildcat Roar

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.

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.

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...

Tardies Grades 5-12

All students will be required to check in at the office upon arrival and obtain an admit slip prior to going to class. Tardies are cumulative for the semester and reports will be run on a weekly basis.

6 tardies: 1⁄2 Friday School

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 know what you want to do after you graduate High School? If you're not sure, check out the most recent list of high demand occupations:

The following occupations were identified from using the Long Term Occupational Projections 2020‐2030 for Missouri. The data was extracted from the MERIC website. The Long‐term Projections (Statewide‐MO All Occupations) information was used to determine the high‐demand occupations list.

Occupations that are highlighted are new to the high‐demand occupations list in FY 2024. All other occupations will remain on the FY 2024 high‐demand occupations list.

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.

Stay tuned!
