HS students will be outside Thursday morning from 9:00 - lunch.
You may bring sunscreen, blankets, and things to do. I will have Cornhole, Sidewalk Chalk, a football, Four Square supplies, and a kickball. Students may be on their phones.
Students may participate in an activity, walk the Circle Drive, or sit, but we will be outside the whole time.
HS Students will check their Chromebooks & Chargers in this Wednesday, May 14.
You'll report to your NWEA testing room to turn your machine & charger in. Make sure that your name is on your chromebook & charger. CTS will ensure that the machine you turn in is the one you were issued in August. Students will be invoiced for missing or damaged Chromebooks &/or Chargers.
Heads up: I'm tired of dealing with phone issues in class.
The JH doesn't have access to phones all day - even at lunch - and their issues have been nearly non-existent this year. If students can't stay off of their phones in class for the remainder of the year, I will ban phones in the building from 7:40-3:05 next year.
This is your chance. Turn it around.
The following email was sent to HS students on April 4:
Parking in the South Gravel Lot continues to be an issue.
If there is ANY issue with parking after lunch today (April 4, 2025) or afterwards, the South Gravel Lot will be open to SCCC drivers and school vehicles ONLY. Everyone else will have to park off campus or off of Morgan Street, past the ECC.
Oversized trucks park on the West side, along the back side of the Maintenance Shop & Weight Room.
Other vehicles may park in front of the guard rail on the East side.
No one should be parked in front of/behind another vehicle
No one should be parked along the North slope to the alley entrance.
When the lot is full, go to the paved parking area off of Morgan Street.
You can get in the building via the Breezeway buzzer if it’s after the doors are locked.
Any student (or adult) interested in umpiring Summer baseball or softball with/for the Optimist Club is encouraged to talk to Mr. Albert Foster. Students, please email Mr. Foster (afoster@slaterschools.net) to find a good time to talk to him.
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.
ATTENDANCE MEASURES
The following measures may be utilized throughout the school year: reminder letters/emails, hotline call(s) may be placed, outside agencies (law enforcement, juvenile office) may be contacted.
Students whose cumulative attendance falls between 80-90% as of May 1st will be required to attend one week of summer school. Students who fail to attend will serve this time in transition at the beginning of the following school year.
Students whose cumulative attendance falls below 80% as of May 1st will be required to attend two weeks of summer school. Students who fail to attend will serve this time in transition at the beginning of the following school year.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Students must meet all district graduation requirements per BOE policy IKF to graduate. Graduation requirements and grading scales for a student with a disability(ies) may be determined according to the student's Individualized Education Plan (IEP).
Participation in the commencement ceremony is a privilege and not a right. Students must be in good standing and have no outstanding balance on school accounts to participate in graduation or promotion ceremonies.
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.
