Greetings from Mrs. Musick
Dear Parents/Guardians,
It is our first normal week in a while where we are wearing normal clothes and having normal routines! However, seeing Homecoming week in a PreK-12th grade building for the first time was pretty remarkable. I went to and taught at a school where the grades were in separate buildings so I never got to experience it school wide. It was amazing to see our whole building get into the spirit dress up days, the community members coming in and judging our high school, the daily lunch activities for high school, our whole school pep assembly, coronation, and the basketball games. I left here late Friday evening excited for all the memories that were created for our students that week. I was also so proud of the work many of my staff members did to plan, set up, and create the amazing displays we had in the gym hallway and for coronation.
If you were a judge who came in during homecoming week, we thank you for your time and willingness to partner with our school for such a fun and tough job of deciding who was really the best dressed for the spirit week! Thank you to all who participated in the liking of your favorite photos on our Facebook page--you all kept the week fun for us too! Thank you to all who came and supported our students on Friday--it was a packed gym! We are so thankful for our community support of our students and school. You are a huge reason our school and students are so successful.
Please be sure to be paying attention to the weather and making sure your child has a coat. It is bitterly cold this week. There has also been some sickness going around and we hope to have everyone healthy again soon! Please be sure to continue good hand washing and disinfecting. Also remember to avoid sending your child to school if they have a temperature of 100.4 or higher. They must be fever free for at least 24 hours to return. Thank you to the many parents who have called in to let us know and who have been making sure to get homework to their child. We appreciate that!

Home Basketball Games: To help with supervision, here are a few reminders: The cafeteria should be off limits during games. Students in grades 6 and below should be accompanied by an adult. If your child is going to play outside during the game, please know they are your responsibility. We are starting to pull out the bleachers by the stage to increase our seating. Please try to avoid sitting on stage--we try to save that for managers, admin, and keep that area free of distraction to our scorekeepers. Thank you!
Change to your child's end of day routine: Please be sure to let the office know of any changes to end of day routine by 2:30. Please know without a note, call to office, or email to teacher, we will have to send them home their normal way. Be sure we are notified if there is a change.
Unprepared: Students in grades 5-12 can be marked unprepared. Once class starts, students are unprepared if they don't have their book, notes, homework, chromebook, or charger. It can also be marked unprepared for an uncharged chromebook. Once a student gets three, a note will go home. Once they receive the 4th, a phone call will be made by me and they will have to serve a detention. More detentions come after the 4th unprepared if more are given. These will restart at semester.
Coats/Jackets: With the change in weather, please make sure your child is coming with a coat or jacket!
