Raider Nation Review
August 14, 2020
Message from the Raider Nation Principal
SHOUT OUT & THANK YOU to all of Raider Nation (students, Staffulty, parents & community members)!! Thank YOU for your continued support and love this week! W.E. couldn’t do what we do without YOU!
If it were possible to have the BEST first week school ever during a pandemic, Wylie East High School DID.JUST.THAT! It was so wonderful to see both our Remote Learners and On-Campus Learners this week!! AND….our teachers were just a little excited to see the Raiders this week!! Check out the pictures below!
At Wylie East, we are embracing every opportunity to revolutionize the way we do things. Since we were unable to gather all students together in the auditorium for class meetings, we decided to go virtual….AND it was AWESOME!!
On Thursday morning, we kicked off our first ever How University--Raider Nation style! The administration did virtual announcements at the beginning of each class period to discuss a variety of topics. For our Remote Learners, these topics were recorded and will be posted into Google Classroom. Our goal was to clearly define our procedures and process for ensuring everyone is safe. We also took this opportunity to cover other Raider Nation specific topics.
Our Raiders ROCKED IT!! I’m so proud!! W.E. ready for our first full week starting Monday!
Here are the topics we covered in our first ever How University--Raider Nation style this week:
-Administration & Counseling Team Intros
-Hand sanitizing & Hand washing
-Masks
-Social Distancing (in all areas of the building: hallways, stairwells, lunch, etc.)
-Chromebooks
-Dress Code & ID badges (required for all students)
-Lunch & Dismissal & Parking
-More coming soon……
Wishing you the BEST weekend!!
And remember....It's ALWAYS a great day to be alive and a GREAT day to be a Raider!!
