Wildcat Report
Volume 3 Issue 3 Sept 18, 2020
Principal Message
I am thankful for upcoming Friday nights full of student activities and a community that cheers on the Wildcats to great victories.
I am thankful we have an opportunity to continue taking students in to our school face to face daily and teach.
I am thankful that we are able to provide remote learning for students who are not able to be here face to face.
I am thankful for a loving group of counselors who spend hours a week helping students make decision that will benefit them for a lifetime.
I am thankful for a front office staff who is patient with others, kind to all and encourages me daily.
I am thankful for our custodians and school nutrition workers who keep our kids safe and are the glue that holds this whole thing together.
Finally, I am thankful for teachers who love their students and spend countless hours prepping lessons, grading, developing relationships, and collaborating to find ways to make this year as normal as possible for each and every student. Our teachers are the absolute best!!
Devices Still Needed for Remote & Face to Face Learners
All students need to have a device to use which have a keyboard, the ability to use a Chrome browser and is mobile. If your student does not have one we still have a few we can let them borrow for this year. We are turning most work in online and students are asked to have a device other than their cell phone to take to each class. Please fill out the Chromebook Request Form and email Kim Carnes or Curtis Martine for information on when they can pick it up.
