REMINDER!!!!!! If you are NOT going to be riding the bus after school, you MUST let the office know BEFORE 2 PM!! The buses cannot leave until all riders are accounted for. This is causing the buses to be delayed in leaving the school to get other riders home. PLEASE let Dawn know before 2:00 if you will not be on the bus.
If you are feeling ill, please follow proper protocol by going to the Nurse, or office if the nurse is not available. Please do not reach out to your parent from your cell phone. The nurse or the office will reach out to your parent if there is a need.
**If you sign in or out in the high school office, you MUST put the reason why. Example: Lincoln Land, doctor appt, sick, etc. If you leave this space blank, we do not know the reason and you will automatically be marked unexcused.
If you would like to nominate someone for Hero Friday, please stop by the office by 3 PM each Thursday to have it put in that Friday’s announcement.
Drama club students – make sure you are turning your signed contract into Mrs. Weatherford, getting signed up on GroupMe, and signing up for an audition time slot with Mrs. Weatherford by October 27th.
Respect the “Danger Zone”
The school bus loading and unloading area is called the “Danger Zone.” Specifically, this is any side of the bus where the bus driver cannot see the child and, therefore, the child is in the most danger. These areas include:
· 10 feet in front of the bus, where the driver may be sitting too high to see a child
· 10 feet on either side of the bus, where a child may be in the driver’s blind spots
· Behind the school bus
If you are planning on attending the JV VB tournament on Saturday, you will have to pay admission to get in. This includes staff and students. Also, no outside food or drinks can be brought into home games. All items must be purchased at the concession stand. You may not bring in your soda from West End or Shell or your own water bottles. Too often all these things are spilt or left behind at the end of the night. This is for adults and students. Thank you for your cooperation.
