September 30, 2024

Wow! What a week. This past week felt similar to what I experinced growing up in Nebraska during the winter with snow storms anticipating school getting cancelled. I would stay up late to see if school was cancelled, or wake up early in the morning watching for the scrolling bar going across the TV news station of all the closures hoping to see Red Willow County. 😄 If it was cancelled, then there was the dreaded note with the list of chores from my dad. 😠Ugh! No virtual learning back then, so I guess my chores were my learning for the day. LOL!

Thank you so much for your flexiblity and patience this week. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this caused our community. I cannot be more happy to return to campus. I am so thankful for all the manpower put in by our district and site facilities crews. They really stepped up in a time of need. Everyone's priority was safely returning to campus as soon as possible.

This week is the end of first quarter. Grades will be posted this Friday. Our teachers will be here for any additional support needed due to the campus closure.

Reminder: Friday, October 4th - School dismisses at 10:15am. (no lunch will be served)

Fall Break - October 7 - 12 - No School!

Additional Student Parking - We are excited to share we have some additional student parking available. Spots are available for all students who are currently eligible to drive. Priority will be given to seniors and juniors. Those students on the waiting list will be contacted first. Please complete the parking application to secure a spot.

Have a great week Tigers!

It's never too early to start thinking about graduation. Jostens has opened up ordering for the Class of 2025 Graduation products to be ordered. Please note that the only item required to be ordered through Jostens is the cap and gown unit to ensure it's the right color purple. Please visit the link below in order to purchase your graduation items. Sibling caps and gowns from previous years may also be used. In this case, you would only need to order the tassel. If your previous senior was class of 2024 and they decorated their cap, you would need to call Jostens at their store to place the order at 602-765-7337.
Their first deadline is Monday, September 30th. This is the first of many deadlines that they will send out throughout the year.
