It has been brought to the school's attention that goods are being sold door to door as "school fundraisers." The school does not sell goods directly door to door. If it is a school fundraiser, it will be on an order form and items will be delivered at a later date or available for pickup at the school. This is also the time of year that "salesmen" will come to the door and say they are selling books, encyclopdias, etc. that the school "endorses." Again, the school does not endorse outside educational products that are not sold directly through the school or the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's (DESE) website.

Dear JH/HS Parents, In the past, Federal Programs notices only had to be sent to our elementary since it is a Title school and our secondary campus is not. This year that rule changed and we should've added this procedure to the student handbook. Dr. Gilbert is adding it to the handbook, but we need to make sure it is distributed to everyone so I am attaching it here. https://5il.co/288ng Thank you and don't forget to set your clocks back this weekend! --Dr. Goddard

Dear Parents and Guardians, RE: Attendance and Safety Measures at School Sporting Events As we continue to strive to ensure the safety and enjoyment of all students and attendees at our jr. high and high school sporting events, we have implemented new measures that are designed to enhance the overall experience. We are writing to inform you about two significant changes in our event policies: *Beginning Friday, October 20, 2023, all students, middle school age and younger, must be accompanied by a parent or another responsible adult age 21 or older while at a game. This is for the safety and well-being of our children. Unsupervised children have been hurt or not picked up after the game and parents cannot always be reached. *Also, students are restricted from bringing balls of any sort and/or throwing objects to sporting events. This disrupts the sidelines and most discipline arises from fights occuring around pickup games.

Whew! Day 1 is down. With the first day of school, you never know what you're going to get. This year it was a pretty uneventful day. The kids came back pretty much like they'd never left in May...which is great for staff! We like quiet and normal. With the heat, recess was held indoors and will be until the temperature cools some. Even the football game for Friday night has been pushed back to 8pm because of the heat. Thank you to everyone for helping us with the parent pickup and dropoff returning to the dome side for everyone like it was preCOVID. We were having some near-misses with elementary and junior high kids running out in front of new high school drivers, as well as a couple of minor fender-benders, and the Student Council kids asked for it to go back to the old way so no one got hurt. Only staff and high school student drivers should be entering the north gravel lot before and after school. Unfortunately I've had to deal with several kids getting struck by cars after school over the years, so I think it is a safer alternative for kids even though it is an inconvenience to parents. However, even on the crazy first day of school, the parent line coming off of Poplar Street was emptied in about 10 minutes from start to finish. That will keep getting faster after the first day, and as the heat subsides, less people pick up their kids so the line will be shorter. Last year, the line was generally gone in 5-6 minutes, so if you don't want to get into line until about 3:00 or 3:05 pm, you shouldn't have to sit there longer than about 3:06. Thanks for sending us such great kids and we will see everyone tomorrow!
