CTS is going to reset all student passwords to reflect their new lunch pin numbers so that everything matches in TeacherEase. On Monday, students will need to login to their email and machines using:
wildcats + lunch pin# (example: wildcats1234).
This information was on your schedule on the first day of school.
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.
HS Promotion (Board Policy IKE):
(Updated this year, applies to FRESHMEN. Other grades = 1 credit less)
Class Standing
The following is included for quick reference of graduation requirements and a listing of courses offered at SHS. Students must earn 25 designated credits to graduate from SHS. Students must also meet other obligations such as attendance, discipline guidelines, and debts prior to being eligible for graduation. Credits for students transferring from a school that is on block scheduling are converted to a seven-hour schedule.
Grade level or class designations are based on the following criteria:
- Freshman Class (Grade 9) Completion of the 8th grade and promoted by the sending school.
- Sophomore Class (Grade 10) Students must have earned 6 credits as a Freshman. If 6 credits or more are not earned, the student will be in jeopardy of not graduating with their peers.
- Junior Class (Grade 11) Students must have accumulated 12 credits by the end of the Sophomore year. If 12 credits or more are not earned, the student will be in jeopardy of not graduating with their peers.
- Senior Class (Grade 12) Students must have accumulated 18 credits by the end of their Junior year. If 18 or more credits are not earned, the student will be in jeopardy of not graduating with their peers.
**Board Policy IKE Update: **
For the purposes of class standing, students at Slater High School will be assigned class status based on the number of credits earned as of the first day of school for each school year.

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.
Students learned in the first week of school that they must be in good standing to participate in extracurricular events/activities. (This includes attending those events as a spectator.)
Students must be in attendance at school for four consecutive hours on the day of the event to be able to play in or attend an extracurricular event/activity.
