Hello Hornet Family!
Re: September’s Newsletter/National Preparedness Month
Serving as principal presents opportunities to lead as the lead learner in a learning and teaching environment. It is a very important role that I take very seriously. There are other roles that are of equal importance in ensuring our students have an optimal learning environment. The one role that encompasses many tasks is centered on creating and sustaining an inclusive, caring and supportive climate and culture. This must originate with a safe and healthy school environment that meets the academic, social, emotional and physical needs of each student. Without this foundation, I cannot serve as the lead learner in the building, nor can I ensure that our students will become lead learners. Safety is a top priority and it is the foundation for which all other learning takes place.
This month is National Preparedness Month and it is a great opportunity to contribute to building a safe climate and culture. It is also an opportunity to share with you our continued efforts in ensuring that our students, staff and community are safe. We have a robust safety plan that is thoroughly designed to address student and staff actions, training and emergency procedures. Discussion and drills are often the first layers of training for our staff and students. Our team reflects on each drill and seeks opportunities to improve our students and staff outcomes. Our commitment to safety is one of the ways we contribute to a safe environment that is conducive to student learning.
Safety is important to all of our stakeholders and I am very proud of our team’s commitment to ensuring the safety of all. Please take a moment to review the attached document for more information related to our Student and Staff Safety Drills.
We appreciate your commitment to creating a sustainable, caring and supportive climate and culture!
From Good-to-Great-to-Unstoppable! Let’s go HORNETS! #Commitment Matters
Happy Labor Day to All!
Respectfully,
Principal Miley

Student Success Skills (SSS)
September 19, 2022
This week’s Student Success Skills lesson will focus on learning skills, and students will work on identifying ways to organize and process their learning. This week’s lesson is particularly valuable at the beginning of the year. Below, you will find links to the “Home Connection” literature for each grade level.
From ReThinkEd: “Research in recent years has determined that the brain is much more flexible and capable of learning new things than once believed. The brain is faster and more powerful than a computer. Understanding how the brain learns helps students feel more in control of their learning.”
Use the “Home Connection” ideas to further the conversation with your student at home.
More specific information for each grade level skill lesson can be found below:
Grade 9: Getting Organized Grade
Grade 10: Study Smarter Grade
Grade 11: Cure a Negative Mindset Grade
Grade 12: Lifelong Learning
Thank you for your support!

Signs of Suicide
September is Signs of Suicide Awareness Month. It is said that investment in suicide education, prevention, and research assists with decreasing the number of untimely deaths each year. Therefore, the time is now to ensure we are doing our part.
This year we will continue with the theme ‘Stay Connected.’ During times of uncertainty, it is important students are connected to healthy friendships, school activities, trusted adults and needed resources. We must teach students to ACT- Acknowledge, Care and Tell. Knowing the signs of suicide, understanding the importance of practicing self-care or showing a friend you care, and understanding when to tell, are all the first steps to saving a life.
- September 1-30: Suicide Prevention Awareness Month
- September 4-10: National Suicide Prevention Week
- September 10: World Suicide Prevention Day
We will also have daily activities hosted by our PTSA Wellness Committee.

Unstoppable HORNET AWARD! Ryan Koporc
I have taken great pride in selecting students who exemplify what it means to be a committed Hornet, representing the best of our students! What does it really mean to Commit to the R? This commitment is exemplified by a student who is dedicated and steadfast in representing their school, community and family with pride and honor, through respect, responsibility and a readiness level that is difficult to define. They simply become unstoppable in their quest! An unstoppable hornet defies the odds and rises to the occasion when others are not looking, and even sometimes when there are onlookers; modeling excellence is often observed.
It is my pleasure to present the Unstoppable Hornet-Principal’s Award to Ryan Koporc!
Why is Ryan an Unstoppable Hornet?
Ryan Koporc collected over 400 books for our CBI section of the media center! Through his collection process, Ryan both requested neighbors donate gently used books and mowed lawns to raise money to purchase new books. Since dropping them off the first week of August, he has gone a step further and collected 100 more! Ryan is a ninth grader and is definitely starting his Roswell career with an UNSTOPPABLE attitude!
