Hear Us ROAR!
Football takes on Plattsburg at 6:00. The Band will play the National Anthem at 5:50, and the Cheerleaders will be peppy all night! Students, plan on sitting in the Student Section just in front of the Cheerleaders and Band. We want to make last season's basketball games seem QUIET! Be loud! Be proud!
Admission to one event gets you into both events for the night - $4 for Adults, $3 for Students, Senior Citizens (65+) are free! (Students must be in good standing to attend - keep reading to see what that means.)
Wear purple and gold to school on Thursday - I can't remember a time when we've had so many HS Activities happening on the same night! S-L-A...
Making a List
Here's what the handbook says about GOOD STANDING:
GOOD STANDING
To be considered a student in good standing, a student must not be in violation of the
attendance policy (attendance must be above 90%), have no outstanding discipline referrals OR appear on the current F list.
In order to participate in extracurricular events including (but not limited to): dances,
field trips, school-sanctioned sports events; a student must be in good standing.
Students in grades 6-12 that are not in good standing will have closed lunch and be required
to sign in daily in the cafeteria, where they will remain for the entire lunch period.
The sign in sheet for closed lunch is on the South wall, below the bulletin board. It is up to the student to sign in and remain in the cafeteria during lunch.Failure to stay in the cafeteria for the whole lunch period or sign in (even if you stayed) will result in a CLOSED LUNCH REFERRAL. Here's what the handbook says about CLOSED LUNCH:
CLOSED LUNCH
Failing to stay or sign in for Closed Lunch
Grades 9-12
1. Warning
2. Friday School
3. 1 day in the Transition Room for each day not signed in

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS
The student has two recorded grades during the school year: at the end of the 1st semester and at the end of the 2nd semester. All other grade checks, including quarter grades, are progress reports. A 1⁄2 credit will be awarded for each of these two leer grades and these grades are recorded on the student’s permanent record, grade checks are conducted throughout the semester.
High School and Junior High students’ extracurricular eligibility is determined by the current F List. This report is made available to HS and JH teachers and coaches and is computed
approximately every two weeks. A student who is on the F list for one class may practice but not compete in any events for the duration of that F list, while students who are failing more than one class on any F list may not practice or compete in any event. Eligibility may only change at the issue of each new F list.
You can check out the 2023-24 Student/Parent Handbook below!
Policy Says...
Ms. Crystal will determine if you need to stay at school or go home. If she decides that you need to go home, SHE will call your people and make arrangements for you to leave. (Read: You don't call/text your people - especially before we know you don't feel well.)
Tardy for the Party
Because the system is entirely new, we don't have information from the previous year to revert to like we have in previous years.
When you're logged in to your parent portal on PowerSchool (using the information you received at Registration in August), click on 'Forms' on the left side of the screen. A new screen with tabs will appear. Most of the forms are under 'Enrollment'. After you submit some of them, you'll be informed that your data has to be approved and is pending until that point. Click 'ok' and keep on going!
We need this information as soon as possible...like, yesterday.
Thank you!
Stay in the Loop!
Text notifications will be used to share information about School Closures, Updates to the posted calendar, distribute newsletters, etc.
Your phone number will NOT be shared outside of the Student Information System.
Q: How do I log in to my SIS Student Portal?
We have a new Student Information System (PowerSchool) this year, but it can do everything last year's system could do - and more - like see your schedule, grades, lunch balance, attendance, and MORE!
Q: Where can I park?
Some students won reserved parking spots last May (see the table below), thanks to their Student of the Month achievements and Trivia Contest finishes. Those students have earned the right to paint their spots with a design that they choose (and J Clem approves).
If it’s a painted or reserved spot, don’t park there. You’ll be asked to move. If it’s an open spot, it’s first come, first served.
Spots students CAN’T park:
- The Circle Drive
- Teacher Parking (off of Elm Street, in front of the Elementary Building)
- The Cafeteria Lot
- Reserved Staff Parking in Gravel/Bus lot (South end of lot)
If you’re driving to school, you need an SHS parking pass. You can get one from Ms. Wiseman in the HS Office. They are $5/school year.
The Student Handbook has more info about Driving, Parking, and consequences of violating the rules. Check it out at SlaterSchools.net!
