The Hornet Buzz

To empower, enrich, and enlighten students to reach their full potential while respecting our past.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Today's weather makes it seem crazy that last week was bitterly cold and that we had enough snow to be out all week. This week, we will be enjoying warm temperatures, a full week of school, and outdoor recess!

Our boys and girls basketball teams start district play this week. If you are free this week to come support them, we would greatly appreciate it! Our boys will be at Blair Oaks on Wednesday at 6:00 and our girls will be in Eldon on Thursday at 7:30.

We are two weeks away from the end of third quarter. This is a great time to be checking in on your child's grades, AR goals if they are in elementary, and work completion. If you have questions, you can always reach out to your child's teacher or teachers.

I know I speak for all our staff when I say, we can't wait to see our students tomorrow!

It is always a great day to be a Hornet!

Congratulations to Reagan Wobbe on breaking the single season scoring record, last Saturday at Blair Oaks. Dana Schulte-Scheppers held that record since the 1996-97 season, scoring 610 points.
Also...Reagan surpassed 1500 career points in tonight's game.

I have loved seeing kids in the office for positive things!
My list is at school and I am working on this from home.

Drop off in mornings from 7:55-8:00: We are having several cars in front of school between 7:55-8:00 which is the time the buses are pulling in. If you could please park further down towards our marquee sign or along road opposite of post office, that would help with buses pulling in. If you drop off between 7:45 and 7:55, you are fine to park in front of school to drop off.

Change to your child's end of day routine: Please be sure to let the office know of any changes to end of day routine by 2:30. Please know without a note, call to office, or email to teacher, we will have to send them home their normal way. Be sure we are notified if there is a change.

Unprepared: Students in grades 5-12 can be marked unprepared. Once class starts, students are unprepared if they don't have their book, notes, homework, chromebook, or charger. It can also be marked unprepared for an uncharged chromebook. Once a student gets three, a note will go home. Once they receive the 4th, a phone call will be made by me and they will have to serve a detention. More detentions come after the 4th unprepared if more are given. These will restart at semester.

Coats/Jackets: With the change in weather, please make sure your child is coming with a coat or jacket!

3rd grade learned all about the theme “we didn't know sharing a little bit of our wealth would taste so good” during their reading lessons. So they decided to make their own Stone Pizza. Each student brought in supplies for pizza to share.

Did you know that we are now over 100 days brighter?!

We always love when our high schoolers read to our elementary students!

FBLA hosted an elementary store and had a career day for our grades 6-12.
