Picture Retakes Next Week
Student ID's (new dates)
Basically, during 1st/5th periods, students that do not have a student ID will be issued a temporary for that day.
Students can purchase a new badge for $5 at any time from the high school main office. However, after 5 times of being issued a temporary ID, students will have to purchase a new badge.
Between now and the 31st, students will be reminded to make sure they have a school badge. If one has already been issued, then there will be a $5 charge for replacements. If a student is needing their first badge, they need to come by the high school office for a free badge during the week of Oct. 17th.
Remember, students must wear their badge on a lanyard, around their neck at all times at school except during athletics.
The Homecoming Parade will be Friday October 28th at 10am. We will go straight into the pep rally on the football field from the parade.
A detailed map of where you can park to come and enjoy the parade and pep rally is included below.
Homecoming Dance is on October 29th from 7-10pm. It is here at the high school and is $10 per ticket. Students may bring a guest from a different school however they must pick up a form from Miss DeVaul’s room in order to bring their date.
Homecoming Week Dress Themes:
Monday- Dress up as Adam Sandler (School Appropriate)
Tuesday- Bring a Stuffed Animal - We will NOT be dressing up as stuffed animals, you are BRINGING one. Also if your animal is too large or too much of a distraction they will be placed in daycare at the front office.
Wednesday- Tim Burton Character Day
Our Parade theme on Friday is Tim Burton movies so today dress up like a character from one of his movies. No masks or weapons and as always dress code still applies!
Thursday- Dynamic Duo - Grab a friend and pick an Iconic Duo to dress up as. PB&J, Fire and Ice, Kevin Heart and the Rock, Bert and Ernie you name it!
Friday- GREEN OUT
