Schedule of Activities for the First Day of School – Friday, August 14

Good Afternoon Parents/Caregivers, Students, and Community Members,
Tomorrow, Friday, August 14, is our first day of school!
Our staff has been working hard to prepare the campus and classrooms, and we are excited to welcome everyone back. We hope you will be pleased with the many positive changes to staffing and the coursework available to our students this year.

We have a full day of important activities planned for tomorrow, so please make sure your student arrives on time for school.
First period will begin with an assembly. Our new Principal, Melissa Rhodes, will welcome students and outline expectations for the school year. She will cover a wide range of topics, including the introduction of new staff, attendance, classroom/hallway/campus behavior expectations, dress code, a new approach to Chromebook use, and the new “no cell phones in the classrooms” policy, in accordance with state law.

Immediately following the assembly, students will move to their first-period classes, where they will work with their teachers to select their electives.
We are excited to offer the following electives:
Sustainable Agriculture/Culinary – including food processing and preservation
Introduction to Manufacturing – focused on freshmen
Construction
Welding
Weight Lifting – Juniors and Seniors
Art
Music – guitar and piano
Elective selection preference will be given to Seniors first, followed by Juniors and so forth, until classes reach their set capacities in order to maintain positive learning environments.

A reminder regarding our closed-campus policy: Students should not leave campus during morning nutrition or at any time other than lunch without being signed out by a parent or guardian. Students will not be allowed to leave with a non-parent/guardian adult without express permission from their parent or guardian. This is not a new policy, but it will be more strictly enforced this school year.

Parents/Caregivers and community members are invited to join us for the morning assembly.
We will also be hosting lunch from 11:50 a.m. to 12:50 p.m. for students and their families. Please join us! This will be a great opportunity to meet the staff, reconnect with our school community, and start the new school year off in a positive way.
We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow and kicking off a great school year!

Back to School - Construction Safety Concerns

Good Morning Parents/Caregivers, Students and Staff:

As we enter the new school year this Friday, August 14, I just wanted to raise situational awareness regarding the construction activities associated with the highway corridor project.

1) Please account for delays if you have to travel through the corridor to get your student to school on time.
2) Be advised of increased traffic along Indian Creek Road and the back streets, including Crumpton and Head (behind Mechanic's Bank and Double J). Many of our students walk through these areas to get to and from school and we want to keep them safe! Remind them to be aware of their surroundings, stay to the shoulders if at all possible, not to congregate in groups that spill onto the roadway, and avoid wearing headphones so that they can hear traffic.

Our District Superintendent, Marie Caldwell, is looping in the Sheriff's Department and CHP. Hopefully we'll see traffic safety measures at the major intersections, including the crossing near the Forest Service.

We're going to have a great year! Can't wait to see everyone.
