Secondary Weekly-3: It has been a busy couple of weeks but the students have done a great job of rolling with all of the changes.

This coming week looks to be just as busy. We will have our first home volleyball and football games, in fact Friday night is going to be Senior Night.

Monday, we will be sending home Free/Reduced Lunch forms. We are going to ask that everyone return a form even if we don't think you will qualify, Traditionally the elementary school's participation is much higher than the Secondary's, but many people do not realize the possible benefits of returning the forms. If your family qualifies your student might get free dual credit classes, free ACT testing on National ACT Test taking days or even free collage applications. It also benefits the entire district.

Wednesday we are going to make sure that every student knows how to login to their student portal. That is important because we are one week away from the end of the first 3-week grade pull. We want to make sure the students are able to track their own progress.

Thursday we will have our first pep-rally of the year. Show your spirit by wearing a jersey.

Friday we will have our first FCA meeting. Parents must have given permission to participate when they did their online registration. If you have not completed your on-line registration, please do so as soon as possible.

Please remember:
Please drop off and pick up students from your vehicle at the curb.
If you choose to walk your child to or from school, please park in the old auditorium parking lot and walk along the construction fence and coned walkway.

📝 ACT School Day Testing is Coming Up! 📝

Parents and students—ACT School Day testing is often the absolute best opportunity for high schoolers to take the exam! Here’s why:

Save Money: At just $40, this is significantly cheaper than taking the national Saturday ACT exam (which usually costs $68–$70+)! 💰

No Saturday Morning Alarm: Skip the early weekend wakeup after a busy Friday night of high school sports, band, or work. 😴

Comfort & Familiarity: Testing happens right here in our regular classrooms, surrounded by familiar faces and routines—reducing stress and boosting confidence. 🏫

Keep Your Weekend: Integrated right into the school day, leaving Saturdays free for rest, work, and family.

Significant Gains: We often have our most significant improvement in ACT scores during Fall Testing.

Secondary Weekly-Parents and students, thanks for a great first week. Next week, many classes will be giving Beginning of Year (BOY) Assesments. This helps us plan for the year and make sure that the kids are getting what they need. We want the kids to try, yet at the same time there will be some material that they are not going to know. It should not be a stress factor for them.

The kids did great this week with all the changes and we want you to know that we appreciate how cooperative they were.

It is going to be a GREAT year.
