Wildcat Roar

Fall Sports (Cheer, Softball, Football) pictures will take place on Tuesday, September 13 at the ball fields. Softball has a home game that day. In order to make it all work, here's our schedule:

2:45 pm Softball pics at the Softball Field

Softball athletes will be dismissed at 2:25 pm

3:15 pm - Cheer pics at the Football Field

Cheerleaders will be dismissed at 2:55 pm

3:45 pm - Football pics at the Football Field

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...

Tardies Grades 5-12

All students will be required to check in at the office upon arrival and obtain an admit slip prior to going to class. Tardies are cumulative for the semester and reports will be run on a weekly basis.

4 tardies: 30-minute detention

5 tardies: 60-minute detention

6 tardies: ½ Friday School

7 tardies: Friday School

8 tardies: Friday School and closed lunch for one week

9 tardies: Friday School and closed lunch for the rest of the semester

10 or more tardies: At administrator discretion, including but not limited to: Loss of good standing, assigned intervention, and possible OSS.

Keep in mind your tardies are CUMULATIVE FOR THE SEMESTER. This means that they keep building up, even after you’ve served the detention. They reset in August and January.

Tardies will be checked every Friday.

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 our new Bell Schedule for this year! (Above)

Some changes that you'll notice are:

• No WIP time for HS (Report to your First Hour class when you enter the building)
• More instructional time for 1-7 hours
• Longer lunch (4 minutes!)
• Later start time
• Later dismissal time

Some things are still the same:

• Still 4 minutes for passing
• Still FREE breakfast before school
• Still FREE lunch for every HS student
• Open lunch for HS students with permission and in good standing

If you earned a reserved parking spot for the 22-23 school year, you are able to paint your parking space. However, we're going to hold off on that until some repair and resealing work is complete. That date is TBA.

Painted Parking Spot information and contracts will be coming soon.

Stay tuned!
