Handbook Highlight

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...

ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOL ATHLETICS & ACTIVITIES

All students are encouraged to attend school events. Students must be in attendance on the day of an activity for at least four consecutive periods. Students placed in OSS or students who have failed to serve detention may not attend or participate in a school sponsored event.

Student/Parent Handbook

Class of 2023 Fundraiser

Seniors are taking orders for shirts (pictured above) from November 21-December 2. Orders may be placed with any Senior student or by calling Tera in the Elementary Office. Payment is required at the time of ordering.

Shout Out

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!

Posted

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.

Remember This?

The handbook says this about student standing:

GOOD STANDING

To be considered a student in good standing, a student must not be in violation of the attendance policy, have outstanding discipline referrals OR appear on the current F list.

In order to participate in extracurricular events including (but not limited to): dances, field trips, school-sanctioned sports events; a student must be in good standing.

Students in grades 6-12 that are not in good standing will have closed lunch and be required

to sign in daily in the cafeteria.

Parking Spot Painting

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.

We've been in school for 51 days. You know the rules. Follow them.

Here's a quick reference:

- No phone or smart watch use outside of lunch, including between classes.

- No airpods/ear buds

- No vaping

- No food in class

- Don't disrespect staff or students

- Be a nice human

Use the Time You Have

Students,

You need to use the restroom between classes, not during class.

I've asked teachers to document when they do allow a student to use the restroom and informed them that your phones need to stay in the classroom when you do go.

Get Charged

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.

Restricted Area

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.

Keep It Clean

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.
