Notes from Mr. Miller
We are officially two full weeks into the school year and it is flying by! I'm always so impressed going into classrooms and seeing the fun and new activities that teachers are doing. We have AWESOME teachers and AWESOME students. Below are a few updates and upcoming items as we continue our push into first quarter. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out!
Ivy Tech Dual Credit Courses: Students taking a dual-credit course through Ivy Tech are beginning to enroll in their classes. Please talk to your child if they are in a dual-credit class to ensure they have taken the necessary steps to enroll.
Homecoming Week: Next week is Homecoming! The Satellites will be taking on the Wolves of Boone Grove. Please see the flyers below for more information on Spirit Days, our Homecoming Dance, and the Bonfire! If you child is bringing an outside guest to the Homecoming Dance, please make sure a guest form is submitted by next Thursday!
Picture Re-Takes: Picture re-takes are scheduled for October 6th for those who choose to re-take or were absent on our original picture day.
Student Driver Passes: Students who wish to drive to school should see Mr. Mills to ensure they have a parking tag and designated spot. Parking tags are $10 and students are expected to park in their assigned spots.
Junior High Incentive Program: Our Junior High team talked to our junior high students about our year-long Incentive Program. Students who meet specific criteria will be rewarded with an activity at the end of each quarter. More information to come!

Classroom Spotlight
Mrs. Wiegel's BioMed
Mrs. Wiegel's PLTW BioMed courses get students knowledge and interest in multiple careers in the biomedical science field including nursing, physical therapy, forensic analyst, microbiologist, and much much more. Students in these courses so far this year have done polygraph testing that showcases physiological changes when one lies, a crime scene activity, and built body systems to understand the anatomy of the body.
Mrs. Wiegel states that her favorite part of the courses she teachers are the hands-on learning that accompany them. Almost all lessons and daily activities involve students engaging with the material, conducting labs, and learning from a direct experience. Students are taking ownership of their learning, which is an awesome thing to see!
We appreciate the effort Mrs. Wiegel has put into this program and are excited to continually add classes to this in the years to come!
