From the Pre-Game presentation on September 26, 2025:

...Around 10 years ago, Exchange Bank of Missouri formed a partnership with the Slater School

District to launch this special program. The idea was simple: by choosing a debit card featuring

the Wildcat logo, our customers could support the school district just by using their card in

everyday purchases. Every swipe of a Wildcat Card generates a donation from Exchange Bank of

Missouri to the Slater Schools—at absolutely no cost to the cardholder.

This is truly a community-powered program. Every dollar donated comes from the daily actions

of EBMO customers who choose to carry and use their Wildcat Cards.

This year, EBMO is proud to present a donation of $10,000 to the Slater School District from the

Wildcat Card Program and an additional $5,000 designated specifically for the gym

renovation project.

Since the program officially began 10 years ago, we are proud to share that donations to Slater

Schools have now reached nearly $86,000—all thanks to the continued support of Wildcat Card

users.

Each of our six EBMO branches participates in the School Pride Debit Card Program with their

local school districts. We're proud to say that Slater’s Wildcat Card has consistently generated

the highest donation amount year after year. That speaks volumes about the pride and support in

this community—thank you!

If you don’t already have a Wildcat Card and would like to join the program, just call or stop by

our local branch. There’s no extra cost to get a Wildcat Pride Card, and they’re printed right here

in Slater—often available the same day.

Thank you again for allowing us to be a part of this great community effort.

Go Wildcats!!!!

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.

2. Dates must be in the ninth grade or above. Dates that are not members of Slater High School must be registered in advance and must be approved by the Building Principal.

4. Junior – Senior Prom is open to members of the Junior and Senior classes and their dates. Dates that are not members of Slater High School Junior – Senior classes will be charged an admission fee and must be registered in advance.

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!
