I am looking very forward to be the start of the next school year. A new school year is almost here. Take every opportunity to enjoy the remainder of the summer. Feel free to stop by the office to pick up report cards. All fines must be paid before report cards are released. You can pick up schedules the week before school begins.
I attended the Rachel’s Challenge national conference this past June. It was the best professional conference I have been to in either my teaching or administration career. I am excited to take the ideas that were presented and show that to our students and staff in September.
A few reminders as we get closer to September. Starting the first day of school, our school day will be extended ten minutes. Instead of ending at 3:00pm, the school day will end at 3:10pm. Also starting in September, (the first one is September 19th) the school district will have a 2-hour early release schedule. Instead of letting our students out at 3:10, the school day will end at 1:10. This will happen about once a month, except for the months of December and May.
Beginning August 6th, the school board approved the use of the TIES FeePay system enabling parents to pay for school lunches, activity fees and sports fees all online! Parents must have a SchoolView account to access this system. High school parents can call Mandy or Jennifer at 320-384-6132 and elementary parents can call Angie at 320-383-6132 ext 2109 for an access key.
A final update, due to athletic scheduling, there is going to be a change during homecoming week. Homecoming week is the week of September 17th. I will update the community further on the happenings of that week in September, but due to athletic events, and the timing of homecoming, coronation will not be in the evening. Coronation will be at 10am on Monday September 17th, not in the evening as it traditionally has been. If you have questions, please call the high school office.
There is only a few weeks left of the summer. Enjoy the heat, as always…check out our website, call, email, or stop by with any questions, comments, or concerns.
Go Jags!
