Wildcat Roar

This week is American Education Week!

American Education week exists to celebrate the potential of all American Students, recognize and give thanks to the teachers and professionals working within the education system as well as honoring the parents and guardians who support and encourage. It also works to continuously improve the education system and ensure that learning is lifelong and not just restricted to a class room!

Hello, Seniors and Senior Parents!

I wanted to inform you that Friday, November 18 will be our Winter Senior Recognition at the basketball game. We invite you to join us for our program after the girls Varsity game! Like in years past, we will recognize and celebrate our senior athletes. Sports being recognized on Friday night include Basketball & Cheer.

We are happy to celebrate the following Seniors:

Christian Audsley, Basketball

Jayden Buglovsky, Basketball

Deliza Cortez, Basketball

Kendyl Drummond, Cheer & Basketball

Maria McCabe, Basketball

Aubry Meyer, Basketball

Keyton Meyer, Basketball

Allison Newman, Basketball

Parents, if your student is participating in one of these activities, please join us for recognition after the Varsity girls game. We will line up in the hallway outside the south east gym doors.

Mrs. Shaw and her Graphic Arts students have created the vinyl Senior Banners that will hang in the gym for the season. I am grateful for their support and the students’ hard work to get to this milestone. Those banners will be presented to the student athletes at or after the Spring Sports Banquet.

We look forward to seeing you on Friday, November 18. Please let us know if you have questions.

Inter-State Studio will be at the school on Wednesday, November 16 to take pictures of anyone that may have missed getting their picture taken.

They are scheduled to begin at 8:00 am.

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...

Plagiarism

The intentional use of non-original material in written or oral format without crediting the source.

1. “F” on assignment and Friday School

2. “F” on assignment and 2 days Friday School

3. “F” on assignment and 1-3 days Transition Room

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!

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

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.

There is a charging cart for HS Chromebooks in the HS hallway near Ms. Tristen'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.

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
