...Senior Composite (Class of 2020 example attached) photos will be taken at school on February 26 by Inter-State Studios, the same company that takes our Fall school/yearbook pictures. These are the photos that will go in the yearbook, on the touchscreen in the HS hallway, and will be framed for display in the HS. ALL STUDENTS need to take a photo, even if you do not plan to order print or digital photos. (Ordering information is below.)

Inter-State will bring drapes for students to wear: A dress shirt/tie and off the shoulder cape/drape. Gentlemen, please wear a plain (white) tee shirt under the drape so a print doesn't show through the shirt (The example composite was with a different studio that used a black dress shirt. I believe that Inter-State will bring drapes with white shirts incorporated.) Ladies, please wear a tank top under your clothes to have on with the drape provided (you'll need to be able to slide straps slightly off your shoulders).

You should come to school photo-ready that day. Students will not be dismissed from class time for hair/make up. I'll have an estimated start time closer to the date...

You may park in the gravel lot, or in a marked/paved parking spot off of Morgan Street. (You may have to park in front of - or even past the Early Childhood Building.)

** The parking in the gravel lot behind the Fitness Center and Maintenance building will be for LARGE /OVERSIZED TRUCKS ONLY. **

You may not park in the grass or block any other car or parking spots in the gravel.

A repeated offense will result in a referral and possible loss of parking privileges.

See me if you have questions.

Students, when you miss a class, it is YOUR responsibility to request make up work from your teacher. Make sure that you're touching base when you return to your class(es).

Students, remember that blankets aren't to be brought into the building. They aren't allowed in classrooms, stairwells, etc.

If you need a coat, please talk to me or Mrs. Crews.

The Handbook Highlight is a recap of a handbook policy or entry that our Students/Adults need to be aware of. If I'm taking the time to include it, it's something to pay attention to - either because I'm seeing that people aren't clear on it, people aren't complying with it, or I'm about to start cracking down on it.

On September 20, I informed the HS student body that due to issues with students wearing hats in the building during the school day, hats are not to be IN the building during the school day.

Hats should be left in vehicles or lockers. They can be left in the HS office if you need a place, but if It's on a student during the day, it will be sent to the HS office...with a referral.

If you know that you won't be at school on a certain day for an appointment, meeting, etc. - besides telling your teachers (which is great!) - please let Ms. Mindy know.

You can do so by emailing her at mwiseman@slaterschools.net.

Parents can call Ms. Mindy at 660-529-2278, ext. 107.
