A New Approach
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Happy Holidays from the music department at Slater Schools! We wanted to inform everyone that our winter program will look a little different this year as we are trying some new ideas. The performances will all be the night of December 14th in the high school gym. We will be starting at 6:00 pm with our kindergarten through fourth grade students who are performing a very sweet program called “The Littlest Christmas Tree.” The story is about a little tree who wants so badly to be the tree picked to be in Santa and Mrs. Claus’ house for the Christmas season but is told it is too small and puny by the other trees. Little do the other trees know that their selfish attitudes and misunderstanding of the true meaning of Christmas are what keep them from being selected. The elementary students will be dismissed to sit with their families after their portion of the program is finished.
Once the kindergarten through fourth grade students are finished with their program we will be transitioning to the band and choir ensembles for the remainder of the evening. The tentative order, as of now, is to have fifth grade band and the fifth grade choir begin after the elementary students followed by sixth grade band and choir, junior high band and choir, and we will end the night with our high school ensembles. We encourage everyone to view the artwork being displayed in the halls created by several of the students you will see performing during the evening.

Due to liability concerns from MUSIC, our insurance company, pets are not permitted on school property.

Remember This?
GOOD STANDING
To be considered a student in good standing, a student must not be in violation of the attendance policy, have outstanding discipline referrals OR appear on the current F list.
In order to participate in extracurricular events including (but not limited to): dances, field trips, school-sanctioned sports events; a student must be in good standing.
Students in grades 6-12 that are not in good standing will have closed lunch and be required
to sign in daily in the cafeteria.
Parking Spot Painting
If you earned a reserved parking spot (21-22 Students of the Month, Field Day Winners - see the list below), you're officially able to begin the painting process! See the Contract below. Printed copies are available in the HS Office.
Spoiler alert:
- There's a $25 deposit this year. You'll get it back after repainting your spot at a day and time to be determined. Materials for this will be provided by the school.
Clarification:
You don't have to be on the list to park at school/drive. These are the students who have earned reserved spots that they may choose to personalize by painting. If you don't have a reserved spot, you can park in the Gravel Lot south of the HS Building or North of the ECC, off of Morgan Street.
2022-23 Reserved Parking Spots
Get Charged
If your machine needs to be charged during the day, these are the locations. Do NOT unplug anyone's machine, do NOT mess with anyone else's machine, and do NOT move the carts.
