Wildcat Community,
As we enter the final stretch of the semester, we are gearing up for an important and exciting time at school. Semester finals are approaching, and we encourage students to stay focused, prepared, and finish strong. At the same time, Winter Break is just around the corner, offering a well-deserved opportunity to rest, recharge, and spend time with family and friends. We appreciate your continued support as we wrap up the semester and wish everyone a successful end to finals and a safe, relaxing Winter Break.

NO SCHOOL - WINTER BREAK
POWERSCHOOL PARENT ACCOUNT
PowerSchool is the main tool our district uses to keep families connected to their child’s education. Having a PowerSchool account allows parents and guardians to:
Stay informed about grades and progress – Check assignments, grades, and overall performance in real time.
Monitor attendance – See if your child is in class each day and track attendance trends.
Receive important updates – Get communication from the school about schedules, attendance, and lunch balances
- Support your child’s success – By staying up to date, you can step in quickly if your child needs extra help or encouragement.
A PowerSchool account is one of the best ways to stay engaged in your child’s learning and ensure a strong home–school partnership.
If you need assistance setting up your PowerSchool Account, please reach out to Mrs. Sarah Sass in the high school office.
CANVAS OBSERVER ACCOUNT
A Canvas Observer account allows parents and guardians to stay connected to their child’s learning in our online system. With an Observer account, you can:
View assignments and due dates – See what your student is working on and when tasks are due.
Check grades and feedback – Stay up to date on progress and teacher comments for most classes.
Monitor course materials – Access class announcements, resources, and calendars.
- Support your student – Use the information you see to help your child stay organized, meet deadlines, and reach out for help when needed.
While Observers don’t complete work or submit assignments, this account gives parents a window into the classroom and helps foster communication between school and home.
If you would like to setup a Canvas Observer Account for your child, please reach out to Mrs. Headid.
ACT PREP
To support student success, all sophomores, juniors, and seniors have access to John Baylor’s OnToCollege ACT Prep, a proven program designed to help students boost their ACT and PreACT scores while building confidence and test-taking skills. This resource provides engaging lessons, practice tests, and strategies to maximize performance.

AVEL NURSE - SCHOOL HEALTH
Avel School Health Nurse Program
Our school participates in the Avel School Health Nurse Program, which helps us provide quick access to healthcare during the school day.
How it works: If a student isn’t feeling well, they can visit with a registered nurse virtually through an iPad.
What the nurse does: The nurse will assess your child’s symptoms and make recommendations for care.
- Parent communication: If the nurse feels your child should go home, you will receive a phone call directly from the nurse to discuss next steps. Please note: the call will come from 605-606-0550, which is not a school number. We encourage you to save this number in your contacts for easy recognition.
This program helps ensure that students get timely medical attention while at school and gives parents peace of mind knowing a licensed nurse is available when needed.
For questions about this service, please contact Mrs. Shaylee Siems at the high school office.
