1. Good morning Cougs! Today is Tuesday, October 22nd. During the month of October, we continue to recognize and grow in Disability Awareness and Bullying Prevention. This is a time for our school and district to increase understanding, respect, and acceptance of people with disabilities and continue to work toward prevention efforts connected to harassment, intimidation, and bullying. It is crucial to use our words to build each other up, to be inclusive of students with disabilities, and to support a school culture centered on belonging. It is also important to remember that we all have a role to play. Harassment, intimidation, and bullying are not tolerated and it is crucial to report these situations to teachers, counselors, or administrators. You can fill out an incident report in the office, send an email, or report verbally, but the key is that if you see something, say something. Let's continue to band together to create a school culture we can be proud of and that celebrates our uniqueness and diversity.
2. Keep walking right and talking right while speaking at a level 1 volume in the halls. Cell phones and wireless earbuds should be stored away and out of sight. Backpacks need to be stored in your locker and get to class on time. Please remember that 4th-period classes are in session after 1st lunch and before 2nd lunch, so please make a quiet transition. Bring your student ID to lunch and scan in to ensure the lunch line moves as quickly as possible.
3. This week is bus driver, mechanics, and transportation appreciation week. Take a moment to recognize and thank your bus driver for their time and effort at transporting students to and from school throughout this week.
4. Keep exhibiting expected behavior and earning Cougar Pride Points. You may purchase items online using the PBIS Rewards App in your portal as you accrue points. Items purchased online are available for pickup in the Cougar Cafe every Wednesday and Friday.
5. Buckle up you Ghouls and Goblins, our Harvest Time Social is coming up on Thursday, October 31st from 3:00-4:30 pm. The social will have music, snacks, games, and plenty of tricks and treats to get you in the spooky spirit. The pricing info for tickets will be in the commons, and tickets will be available during lunch later in the week. Presale tickets will be $3 with ASB and $4 without. Tickets purchased at the social will be $5. We will see you there!
Let's make it a great day and continue to display kindness and respect toward all members of our school community!
