Wolverine Weekly Update
February 14-18, 2022
Principal's Message
Dear Wolverine Families,
Please note a few dates for the year:
- Spring Break: April 11-15
- School in session: April 18-22
- 8th Grade Award Ceremony: June 6th
- Last Day of School, 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony & Dance: June 8th
We know that our students, your children, have access to technology, and I would like to share some tips on how to stay involved in their digital world to keep them safe.
- Discuss internet safety and develop an online safety plan with children before they engage in online activity. Establish clear guidelines, teach children to spot red flags, and encourage children to have open communication with you.
- Supervise children’s use of the internet, including periodically checking their profiles and posts. Keep electronic devices in open, common areas of the home and consider setting time limits for their use.
- Review games, apps, and social media sites before they are downloaded or used by children.
- Adjust privacy settings and use parental controls for online games, apps, social medial sites, and electronic devices.
- Tell children to avoid sharing personal information, photos, and videos online in public forums or with people they do not know in real life. Explain to your children that images posted online will be permanently on the internet.
- Teach children about body safety and boundaries, including the importance of saying ‘no’ to inappropriate requests both in the physical world and the virtual world.
- Be alert to potential signs of abuse, including changes in children’s use of electronic devices, attempts to conceal online activity, withdrawn behavior, angry outbursts, anxiety, and depression.
- Encourage children to tell a parent, guardian, or other trusted adult if anyone asks them to engage in inappropriate behavior.
Sincerely,
Reagan Phillips

Black Red & White 7/8th Dance
TONIGHT on the Basketball Courts is our RED, WHITE, and BLACK dance for 7th & 8th grade students from 6:00-8:00pm on the Basketball Courts. Students must attend school the day of the event. Students are expected to attend the entire dance, and may not leave early.
Basketball Schedule
This week, our girls will be playing their final home game versus Gold Trail on Tuesday, Feb. 15th. Practices are after school on Monday & Friday until 4:30. Check with your coach for variations in the schedule.
Spirit Day - Wacky Tacky Freaky Friday the 18th
The goal is to dress "wacky," so students can do as little or as much as they want with this spirit day. One student may simply wear an ugly sweater, while another may combine stripes and polka dots in the same outfit.
