Announcements 9/9

1. Good morning Cougs! Today is Wednesday, September 9th. Let's continue to support each other and cultivate an inclusive school culture centered on belonging for all.
2. Thank you for engaging in our grade-level assemblies to start the year to ensure we are aligned in our understanding of KPMS expectations. These expectations ensure a safe and inclusive school community where everyone belongs and can thrive.
a. Please remember to walk right and talk right while keeping to a level 1 volume and staying within your personal bubble.
b. Please throw garbage away, remain seated in the cafeteria, show respect for staff and peers. Be proactive in including others and inviting them to sit with you at lunch. The hallways are closed during lunch and honor time. Please walk to honor time and leave your lunch bag on your table or in the cubby that is located on the wall across from the honor time exit.
c. Please continue to keep your cell phones and wireless headphones/earbuds stored away and out of sight. If they are out, they will be confiscated and will need to be picked up at the end of the school day in the main office. Parents will need to pick up confiscated items after the 3rd confiscation.
d. As the new MacBook Neos are deployed, please remember that these are the property of the Peninsula School District and cannot be customized at all. No stickers, etching, drawing etc. Fines will be assessed for damage and are much more expensive with the MacBooks, so go above and beyond to care for them and to meet the educational tech expectations.
e. Please be observant and safe as you get on your bus. Please exit the building by walking and do not congregate on the sidewalk and remain behind the yellow line. Bus numbers are labeled on the side of the bus, not the number on the back of the bus. Line up in an orderly fashion and do not push your way into line. Follow all staff instructions right away.
3. The fall sports season begins today, but it is not too late to register. Let's boost those numbers, especially for boys soccer and cross country! You can register on FinalForms right from our school website.
4. The activity bus is up and running and running. There is a north bus and a south bus that will take you to one of the identified stops. These stops are different from the regular stops, so check out the poster outside the main office to ensure you know what bus and stop you are on. Also, we will be announcing clubs in the next couple of weeks. Clubs will be available to sign up for and will run on various days throughout each week. Once clubs are announced, you can pick up a permission slip in the main office in order to participate.
