Happy month of March, Wildcats!
The Spring brings fantastic opportunities to our students - things like Track, Scholar Bowl, FFA, FBLA, SkillsUSA (SCCC), Baseball, Senior Trip, and MORE will take students out of the classroom for a variety of events.
Students, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to talk to your teachers BEFORE you will be gone from the classroom to make them aware. Your makeup work is also YOUR responsibility. You need to request it from your classroom teacher before the date(s) you will be gone and follow up when you return.
I shared this expectation with HS teachers at our last Building Level meeting.
It has come to our attention that PowerSchool had a security breach that involves some of our data. We have contacted our technology services and are taking steps to make sure this does not happen in the future. We were in the process of switching our student information system software prior to this data breach, and have since moved to TeacherEase for our student information system. Feel free to take advantage of PowerSchool's identity theft protection offer by following the steps in the notice from PowerSchool.
If you did not receive notice, your data was not impacted.
In case of inclement weather, the following list of radio and television stations will be notified and will announce school closings: KMMO - 102.9 FM; KMMO - 1300 FM; KRES - 104.7 FM; KMZU - 100.7 FM; Thrillshare; Marshall Democrat News Website; District Social Media & Website.
What if we have a late start?
If we need to have a late start for any reason, school will begin at 9:50 am. Doors will unlock for students at 9:40 am. No breakfast will be served.
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 start cracking down on it.
Vaping:
Possession, use, sale, purchase, or distribution of any vaping device or substance on school grounds, school transportation, or at any school activity.
1. Up to 10 days Transition Room, outside agencies may be contacted
2. Up to 20 days Transition Room, outside agencies may be contacted
3. Administrator’s discretion
On September 20, I informed the HS student body that due to issues with students wearing hats in the building during the school day, hats are not to be IN the building during the school day.
Hats should be left in vehicles or lockers. They can be left in the HS office if you need a place, but if It's on a student during the day, it will be sent to the HS office...with a referral.
If you know that you won't be at school on a certain day for an appointment, meeting, etc. - besides telling your teachers (which is great!) - please let Ms. Mindy know.
You can do so by emailing her at mwiseman@slaterschools.net.
Parents can call Ms. Mindy at 660-529-2278, ext. 107.
Students learned in the first week of school that they must be in good standing to participate in extracurricular events/activities. (This includes attending those events as a spectator.)
Students must be in attendance at school for four consecutive hours on the day of the event to be able to play in or attend an extracurricular event/activity.
