SHS Student Wildcat Roar
Week of August 31
The Circle Drive is for bus drop offs and pick ups only.
After school, students not riding the bus will be directed to doors that do not exit to the Circle Drive.
Thank you for helping us keep our Wildcats safe!
The Dutchman's Brew coffee truck will be in the Circle Drive this Thursday, September 3.
Students may purchase drinks before school or at lunch, but NOT DURING SCHOOL HOURS.
If drinks aren't transferred into a spill-proof cup, they will need to be completed (or thrown away) before class starts.
We’re working to rehang the class composite photos in the hallways. You can also find them on the touchscreen across from Ms. Mindy’s window.
As you admire those who walked these halls before you, please do not touch the composites or frames.
The cameras are always watching… and some say they aren’t the only ones. 👻
...you can pay your lunch/fees/dues online?
Parents,
When you log in to your TeacherEase account, you can click on the 'Fees' tile to see your student's lunch balance and any fees on his/her account. To pay these fees, you can send cash or a check to the HS office OR you can pay online!
* Breakfast and lunch are free for students, but seconds and hot bar options are not.
If you have a student that will take medication at school please bring it to open house tonight. You are welcome to stop by the nurses office (Located inside the library) or leave it at one of the offices.
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.
