If you do not meet ALL THREE of these criteria, report to SHS at or before 7:58 and work in the Transition Room until your 4th hour class.

During the week of September 15, we will finish iReady testing for students who still need to begin or complete their assessments from last week. We will email students (& staff) to make them aware. Most of this testing will take place in the Transition Room with Mr. Wilburn.

The weight room will be open for all HS students on Mondays and Thursdays from 3:15 to 4:15.

Picture Day for Slater High School is scheduled for Wednesday, September 24.

Seniors, this is when you will take your Senior Composite photo. Drapes and Suit tops are provided. Ladies need to wear a tank top to wear under the drape - you'll need to be able to slide the straps down, as the drape goes off the shoulders. Gentlemen, please wear or bring a white tee shirt to wear under the white dress shirt. You can check out the 2025 Senior Composite in Ms. Mindy's office to see what the finished product looks like. I will request more information (like how to order a group composite) and will pass it along as I receive it.

This event's Order Code is 0126VZ.

Online ordering is available before and after Picture Day. Shipping and handling charges may apply to orders placed after Picture Day.

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.

COLLEGE/CAREER DAY
All college/career days, to include the Military, will be set up in advance through the Guidance Counselor for the absence to be considered excused, with appropriate policies being applied. Such visits are restricted to three (3) visits per Junior year and two (2) per Senior year.

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.

1. 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.

2. 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.

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!

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.

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!
