Newsletter Update💜
We are excited to share that we have had a strong and successful first week of school. Our faculty and staff have gone above and beyond to support students through high temperatures, an extended school day, and the implementation of new procedures. Their flexibility, teamwork, and dedication have set a positive tone for the year ahead.
A key focus this week has been the new JH/HS lunch procedure. We recognize that changes of this size require thoughtful planning and adjustment, and we sincerely appreciate the cooperation and teamwork of all staff involved in making this transition a success.
We would like to extend a special thank you to Coach Green, Coach Christian, Coach B. Miller, Coach V. Miller, Coach G, Coach Woods, Coach Asher, and Coach Sumner for their daily support with the safe loading, transportation, supervision, and return of our JH and HS students.
We also want to recognize our outstanding cafeteria staff for their hard work and dedication. They have done an excellent job serving additional students while maintaining efficient, organized, and high-quality meal service. Their efforts have been essential to the success of this transition.
For clarity, JH and HS students are supervised throughout the entire lunch process. Students receive a hot, quality meal that includes a fresh salad bar, with adequate time to eat before returning to campus. Upon return, students also have supervised time to visit with peers before afternoon classes.
We will continue to closely monitor transportation capacity, student safety, meal service timing, supervision, and overall efficiency. Adjustments will be made as needed to ensure the process continues to best serve our students.
Academically, we are excited about what lies ahead as well. Our after-school tutoring program will begin after Labor Day, providing additional opportunities for students who need extra academic support. We have also been implementing new instructional and academic software that will give our teachers additional tools and data to identify student needs, provide targeted instruction, and continue our efforts to improve student achievement and test scores. We are committed to continually looking for ways to give our students and teachers the resources they need to be successful.
Beyond the classroom, there is much to celebrate:
• Lady Bucks Softball is in full swing, with both JH and HS teams competing over the past two weeks. We encourage our community to come out and support the Lady Bucks at upcoming games.
• Our JH/HS Band and Cheer Teams, under the direction of Mr. Crabaugh and Coach Akin, has been preparing for over a month and is ready to bring school spirit and energy to Friday Night Lights!
• Bucks Football returns next Thursday at home against Rival Cleveland at 7:00 PM.
• The Annual Bonfire will be held next Wednesday night at dark on the football practice field.
• Reminder: There will be NO SCHOOL on Friday, August 28.
We sincerely appreciate our faculty, staff, coaches, cafeteria team, bus drivers, students, families, and community members for their continued support and partnership. We are proud of our strong start and look forward to a great year ahead.
Go Bucks! 💜
