Happy Friday Slater Families!

Next week's Slaterbration is officially kicking-off with weekend decorating and gathering up fun clothing to match the themes listed below. Help encourage school pride by helping your child get involved.

Our annual Club Fair was a huge success. Students signed up for a number of clubs. We post club meeting dates in our daily announcements which are shared during Advisory, on PowerSchool, and our school website.

We hope to see everyone at the High School Open House this coming Thursday, September 26th. I have shared the schedule below. Come early to enjoy some cider and donuts, and then stick around to walk through a shortened schedule of your child's day.

Have a great weekend!
