Handbook Highlights:
Please note a few changes to the handbook for this upcoming year. As always, they will be highlighted in your handbook that will come home with your student on Wednesday.
Headphones: Wireless headphones will be prohibited. Plug-in headphones will be provided for students in an online class. Students may bring their own plug-in headphones if they choose.
Missing Work
Any student, grades 5-12, who is on the missing work report at the end of the week with 3 or more missing assignments will be checked in with by the administration, counselor, or teacher. If they have three or more assignments still missing, they will be invited into Saturday detention to complete them. Parents will be contacted about their child being invited to come in to complete work.
Eligibility Policy:
If a student participates in only one sport, their eligibility is based on the most recent grading period before the sport begins. For example, fall sports eligibility is determined by the previous spring’s grades. If a student receives an F at the end of the 4th quarter or semester, they are ineligible for the first two weeks of the next school year, even if they make up the credit over the summer. If the student is in a spring sport and fails a class in the 4th quarter, they are ineligible for the rest of that season. They will not be ineligible again in the fall, as they’ve already served their time. Students who do not play a spring sport and fail a class in the 4th quarter will be ineligible for the first two weeks of fall activities.

We will again be implementing our one-way drop-off from 7:30 to 8:25 am on school days. Please enter Pine Street from the North (Old Hwy 50 or 2nd Street). Drive South to the front of the school where your child can be dropped off by the main entrance. As you leave Pine Street on the south end, you can go straight, or turn east or west to leave the school. High school students will enter from the North and turn into the parking lot. If they have younger students with them, they will all walk from the parking lot. If you must come into the school, please park on the west side of the street so you do not stop the flow of traffic on the east side.
Pick-up will also be slightly different this year. It will NOT be a one-way like drop-off, but we will have two crosswalks painted going east to west on Pine Street. Your student will be expected to walk across the crosswalk if you park on the west side of the street. From there, they will walk down the sidewalk on the west side of the street to your vehicle. There will be staff and student council members in the first few weeks of school to help students with this process.
We ask that you drop-off and pick-up as quickly as possible so we can keep cars moving and avoid congestion. Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring the safety of our students!
Please contact the school (605-286-3291) if you have any questions.
