High School Daily Bulletin

HAPPY 22nd Day of School!!

This week's character strong challenge is to meet a new person or talk to a person you don't normally talk to--could be a student, teacher, staff or community member. Then, greet them, get their name and at least one thing about them! We will have a challenge between homerooms. Students must fill out a slip in the office and turn it into the box to earn a point for their homeroom. There are bonus points available for student that take a selfie with a person they just met/introduced themselves to and email it to Mrs. Smoot!

Remember: Be kind, courteous, and respectful.  Winning homeroom will earn a cookies to enjoy during homeroom on Friday! Slips will be tallied Thursday at 4pm.  Keep up the good work.  We will announce the current points soon!

StuCo Dance Sign ups in Google Classroom. 

ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION IN EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES:  In order for a student to be eligible to participate in contests in an extra-curricular activity, that student must be in attendance for a full day the day of the activity, and they must also be in attendance for a full day the day following the activity unless the activity is on Friday or there is approval by the principal.  Students absent during the day are not eligible to attend extra-curricular activities that night (ball games, dances, etc.).  A student may not participate in any practice when he or she has been absent from school that particular afternoon (5th-8th hour)  unless excused by the principal.  Any exceptions to this policy must be approved by the principal.

To remain eligible for any MSHAA sponsored activity, all students must be currently enrolled in (3) units of credit or 80% of the maximum allowable credits, whichever is greater.  The student/athlete must also have earned, the preceding semester of attendance, a minimum of (3) units of credit or 80% of the maximum allowable credits, which may be earned at your school, whichever is greater.

Students must also meet all other MSHSAA-mandated requirements for participation.

SCHOOL DANCE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS for Dances Excluding Prom (in addition to the attendance requirements above):

• Students must sign up to attend a dance 2 weeks in advance of the dance.  Guests who are not members of our school must do the same.  Failure to sign up in a timely manner will result in not being able to attend the dance.
• Students with 2 or more F’s in a quarter will not be able to attend a dance in the following quarter.
• Students must have 90% or higher cumulative attendance to attend a dance (unless it is waived by the principal)

This week is National Farm Safety and Health Week. The Ag Leadership class has been working on safety presentations and has received permission to hold workshops next week during the 8th hour PLT. On Wednesday we will have the 7-9th graders and on Thursday the 10-12th graders. Please be aware these students will not be in your 8th-hour PLTs on those days and you may need to adjust your PLT sign ups.

Parents:  If you are interested in your child receiving a flu shot, please have your slip turned in by Friday.  See here for slip!  This is not required but a good opportunity to be vaccinated.  See picture below for more information!  This is available for staff and employees too.  Remember to fill out the form.
