Attention 8th Grade Parents
A Message from Mrs. Scherschligt the High School Counselor
As a reminder, the Incoming Freshman Parent Night has been moved to March 19 at 7 pm in the Middle School Gym (location is a change due to tech week at the High School). I would encourage you and your child to attend, as the state of Kansas has changed the graduation requirements and it affects the class of 2028 and beyond.
Some students took the handouts home; a few turned them back in to be recycled. I am including the 24-25 Course book for your reference.

Students and Staff of the Week
This year the Leadership class has decided to change how student and staff awards are given. This will be done twice a month, with 1 boy and 1 girl winning from each grade level. One week we will have girl winners and one week we will have boy winners. The leadership class was able to get some Gift Card donations from local businesses to add to the award gift package. Teachers are also asked to be more thoughtful and provide the why with their nomination. When teachers nominate students they are looking for the following:
Integrity
Responsibility
Respect
Effort

6th Grade- Joslyn Patton
7th Grade- Arianna Unruh
All Things Activities and Athletics
