Students, we begin iReady testing this week, and I want you to bring your best focus and effort. These assessments give us a clear look at your growth in reading and math. They show how much you’ve improved since the Fall and where you’re ready for your next challenge.

Teachers use your iReady data to shape lessons, target small-group instruction, and plan interventions that match what you need. I also share your overall progress with our Board of Education as part of our district goals. Your effort helps us tell an accurate story about your learning.

Take your time. Read each question closely. Use the tools built into the test. Push yourself to show what you can do. Your best effort matters—not just for a score, but because it helps us support you in the right ways.

If you think that you would test better in a smaller (even quieter) quiet room, please email me before noon on Monday. My email is jclements@slaterschools.net.

Tuesday, December 9: 12:15-2:15 pm - Reading

Wednesday, December 10: 1:10 - 3:00 pm - Math

**Students will need headphones/ear buds for testing.**

A pair of ear buds was issued to each HS student the first day of school.
Ear buds are available in the HS Office for $2/pair.

Calculators will be provided for testing.

We will have an incentive event for students that meet score growth (and other) criteria. On our last week before break, we'll have a game block: students can choose between time in the open gym, a room with board games, or a room with card games. You can bring snacks and drinks, but you have to clean up afterwards. (Still no phones, sorry!)

Check out this month' s HS Counseling Corner Newsletter! More information for December can be found on the Slater HS Counseling Facebook page.

The Handbook Highlight is a recap of a handbook policy or entry that our Students/Adults need to be aware of.

If I'm taking the time to include it, it's something to pay attention to - either because I'm seeing that people aren't clear on it, people aren't complying with it, or I'm about to crack down on it.

LEAVING SCHOOL GROUNDS

If it is necessary for a student to leave school grounds at any time, he/she must first obtain approval from the appropriate office. Failure to do so will result in the student being reported truant. Under no circumstances is a student to leave the grounds without first obtaining permission from the office. There is a sign-out sheet in the office for all students to list the time they are leaving, reason for leaving, and the time they return; if they return during the same day.

ATTENDANCE MEASURES
The following measures may be utilized throughout the school year: reminder letters/emails, hotline call(s) may be placed, outside agencies (law enforcement, juvenile office) may be contacted.

1. Students whose cumulative attendance falls between 80-90% as of May 1st will be required to attend one week of summer school. Students who fail to attend will serve this time in transition at the beginning of the following school year.

2. Students whose cumulative attendance falls below 80% as of May 1st will be required to attend two weeks of summer school. Students who fail to attend will serve this time in transition at the beginning of the following school year.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Students must meet all district graduation requirements per BOE policy IKF to graduate. Graduation requirements and grading scales for a student with a disability(ies) may be determined according to the student's Individualized Education Plan (IEP).

Participation in the commencement ceremony is a privilege and not a right. Students must be in good standing and have no outstanding balance on school accounts to participate in graduation or promotion ceremonies.

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!

Check out the Handbook Highlight for full details about the Dress Code, but let's be clear and on the same page about a few things:

• You have to wear shoes to school. Shoes have HARD SOLES. Soft-soled slippers are not shoes.
• Don't wear clothing to school that has beer or tobacco logos or references on it.
• You are to be covered arm-pit to arm-pit and half-way down your leg. No exposed stomachs or sternums.

Recap from 10/30 Assembly:

• EVERY HS student qualifies for FREE Breakfast & Lunch. Breakfast is served from 7:30 am - 7:54 am. Pick up your tray in the Kitchen and give your PIN to Mrs. Gregg in the Cafeteria. While you're welcome to eat it in the Cafeteria, most HS students take their food to the First Hour class.
• All Breakfast food (from the Cafeteria or something you bring in from outside) needs to be cleaned up and put away by 8:00 am.
• Everyone who wants to eat will be fed - breakfast or lunch - but we've been having some issues with our Lunch numbers...If you know that you're going to eat School Lunch that day, please let your First Hour Teacher know when they take attendance each day. If your plans changed or you changed your mind and you'll be eating school lunch, hang back in the line and let those who put their name on this list go through the line first.

New information:

• I recently learned that several HS students are carrying their Lunch Cards around in their mouth. (Ewww!) Mrs. Gregg usually has to hold the cards to scan them, and she's having to handle them straight out of your mouth. (Ewww!) DO NOT PUT YOUR LUNCH CARDS IN YOUR MOUTH, and ABSOLUTELY DO NOT ASK MRS. GREGG TO HANDLE A SLOBBERY CARD.
• If your lunch card has to be replaced because you've chewed on it, you will have to pay for the replacement cost. Other reasons you'd have to pay for your own replacement: Lost cards, damaged cards due to inappropriate use, and shenanigans.

Let's revisit the Universal Rules I outlined on the first day of school:

Universal Rules

1. Read your emails

2. Read the newsletters

3. Compliance with Cell phone law

4. No hats/hoods in the building

5. No students sitting/laying on the floor

6. Don’t go into a classroom that you're not assigned to

7. No food in the classrooms after breakfast

8. Drinks need leak-proof (screw-on) lids

1. Teachers can say no drinks in their classroom

9. Students don’t line up at the door before the bell. They are dismissed by teachers

These rules apply in EVERY classroom. EVERY hour. EVERY day.

Highlights from Friday morning's Rules Recap:

• No food in the classrooms after 8:00 am.
• Drinks must have a screw-top/spill-proof lid.
• Teachers can say no drinks in their rooms.
• If you're leaving the classroom during class, your phone stays in the room with the teacher
• Open Lunch is a privilege, not a right. Recklessness in the parking lot, street, etc. will result in revoking of Open Lunch.
• Do not go into a classroom that you're not assigned to.

If you know that you won't be at school on a certain day for an appointment, meeting, etc. - besides telling your teachers (which is great!) - please let Ms. Mindy know.

You can do so by emailing her at mwiseman@slaterschools.net.

Parents can call Ms. Mindy at 660-529-2278, ext. 107.

Please note the policy for Unsportsmanlike Actions at an extra-curricular activity:

1. Administrator Warning

2. Minimum of 1 week, up to and including 365 day suspension from all District extracurricular events

3. 365 day suspension from all District extracurricular activities

Due to liability concerns from our insurance company, pets are not permitted on school property, including the Sports Complex.

This excludes service animals and classroom/curricular animals, pre approved by a Building Principal.

Students must be in good standing to participate in extracurricular events/activities. (This includes attending those events as a spectator.)

Students must be in attendance at school for four consecutive hours on the day of the event to be able to play in or attend an extracurricular event/activity.

HS students aren't to watch Netflix - or other video platforms - in classrooms, even if you're done with your work. You should have enough to do in each hour that you don't have time to pull it up, and if you do complete something early, you can utilize our Library and check out a book or work on a curricular assignment for another class.

HS students, remember that you can get FREE breakfast AND lunch every day (see menus below)!

To get free breakfast, just go through the kitchen to get your tray (you can put what you don't want in the share bins for other students), then enter your PIN with the adult past the salad bar station in the cafeteria.

To get free lunch, go through the kitchen for the hot lunch option or the salad bar line in the cafeteria. Make sure to get a drink from the cooler and give your PIN number to the adult at the counter.

You can get extras, grab & go snacks, or food from the warmer as well, but you have to have money on your lunch account for that. You can add money to account in several ways:

• On the TeacherEase app (Parent Portal side)
• Bring Ms. Mindy money/check in the HS office
• Bring a credit/debit card for Ms. Mindy to run for the specified amount in the HS office

Bon Appetit, Wildcats!

• The van leaves at 7:25 am
• If the temperature/weather results in a school cancelation or late start for Slater HS, SCCC students will NOT travel, even if Marshall is in session.
• If Slater is in session, but Marshall is not, SCCC students will report to Slater HS at or before 10:45 am.
