Weekly Update

We have had a great first few days back! It has been fun seeing all the students and checking in with them and all the fun they had on their summer break. We had some fun on the first day of school with team building, getting to know you activities and Kona Ice! Below are a few photos!

We will be doing FastBridge Testing this week. Please make sure your students have headphones. Thanks!

5th Grade

I am looking forward to starting my lessons with the 5th Grade students next week! I will be in their classrooms every Wednesday doing my Counselor Lesson. I will be using this space to talk about what we did as well as share some questions that you can discuss with your student about what they learned that week with Mrs. Schrader. Welcome back! :)

6th, 7th, 8th Grade

Students will be participating in their SEL (Social Emotional Lesson) every Thursday with their Advisory Teacher. Lessons will last 35-40 minutes. I will use this space to talk about what we did and share some questions that you can discuss with your student about what they learned that week. Next week, we will start talking about some ways to get the year started off on the right foot with organization and time management. Welcome back! :)

Volleyball- Please be at the school to pick your child up after practice at 5:25pm. T-shirt orders are due today by midnight if you want them by the first game. The link for the volleyball shirts is below.

Coach Mayer will be sending out away game meal slips next week to the football players. Four away game meals will be $22. This includes a sandwich, chips, granola bar, and a Gatorade. Next Friday, Aug. 25 we will have a MS football scrimmage from 4:00-5:00 before the HS jamboree. Shirt orders are due by August 23, the link to order them is below.

Cross Country- Due to the excessive heat next week, we will offer a 6:00 a.m. practice at the HS Weight room (behind the HS). There will be an abbreviated afternoon practice for those unable to attend the morning. Our first meet is Thursday, August 31 (our meet) at Shawnee North Recreation Center. We can use help guiding runners, watching for illness, covering the finish line. Please let Mrs. Williams know if you can help anytime from 3:45 to 6:00 p.m. that day.

Make sure all physicals and other paperwork are in as well. We are looking forward to a great season!

We still have students that have not paid their athletic fees or their art fees. Please do that as soon as possible, you can click the link below to pay for your child online.

Pick up and drop off has been going well these first 3 days. A few reminders, make sure we are allowing plenty of room for the shuttle bus to leave to take the football boys to practice.

Please remind your child to use the crosswalk when walking to your car in the gravel lot. Students should not walk between cars or behind the shuttle bus.

Cost for Breakfast is $2.10- we start serving breakfast at 7:30 am

Lunch cost is $3.25- Salads and A la carte will be offered after Labor Day
