Being CONFIDENT & Taking Academic Risks- Sept 17, 2023
PTO Marathon Tailgate
My favorite part about the Tailgate last Friday was the growth mindset our students, staff, and families exhibited. For a tailgate that was meant to go 1.5 hours to approach 4 hours was difficult, but all stakeholders remained positive and did what was best for the team. Thank you!!!

Clubs and Activities
Clubs and Activities Presentation- we had a great start to our after school activities and the activity bus was leaving here right around 5:00 PM. We are still iron out some things. Important points below:
- Students login for attendance in the final block of the day prior to leaving for the club. This attendance sheet is how we verify that they have arrived and that they are here with us after hours.
- Communication between students and families and with Seneca is integral to ensure student safety and peace of mind.
- We are seeking help from Dominion Seniors and National Honor Society Students to keep some of our clubs running.
- Students are staying for extra help with teachers in addition to our clubs and activities.
- Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) start first thing Monday morning! Embedded.
- We had approximately 100 students ready for our flag football competition. See below.

PBIS - Staff Of The Week
Teacher Stevenson came to us in the summer after a very successful year of substitute teaching in English at Dominion High School. Positivity, energy, and enthusiasm have been hallmarks in the classroom and the students are responding well. In the summer, you were the first person in the parking lot getting ready to set up your room and now you have truly hit the ground running... great start!
