ALL BULLDOG
January 16-21, 2023 Marysville Jr/Sr High School
Principal's Note
I think the attached graphic says what I am trying to say better than me writing a lengthy paragraph: ATTENDANCE MATTERS! As you can see, missing just two days a month can add up to a full year of instruction missed over the course of a student's educational career. Miss four days a month and it equals two full years missed. Even though these numbers don't seem like much, they certainly can add up and have a detrimental effect on a student's success. We continue to track our attendance numbers and they were not our best in the first part of the semester. They did get better when students learned that attendance mattered when determining who would have to take finals. This is something we are going to do 2nd semester as well. Remember, a student can be exempt with an A and 4 or less excused absences, no unexcused absences, and five or less tardies. Doctor appointments and activities will not count against these totals. Students, please do your part and parents/guardians, encourage attendance always. Help us help everyone find success by being in school. Thank you!

Kiss the Pig and Pie in Face Contest:
Do you want to see a few teachers get a pie in the face, kiss a pig, or both? If so, bring your money next week to help make that happen. Stuco will be placing jars in the hallway by Mrs. Crome’s office. On each jar will be a picture of a teacher. Simply put any amount of money in the jar of the teacher you want to see this happen to. The teachers with the most money in their jar will receive a pie in the face and kiss a pig at a school assembly. Again, this is next week.
