Principal's Corner
September 23rd - 27th
We had a great turnout in our first turn-in for our Fall Fundraiser. Please encourage your student to remember their turn-in forms. We'll take them again this Wednesday before school starts at the Student Store.
What a turnout for our Tailgater this last week! We had just about 200 students (over 1/4 of our total students!) join us for burgers, chips, and a bus ride over to the high school to watch the Cavemen win on Friday night. It was an awesome time to connect with each other and enjoy a safe and fun Friday night.
On Friday, it would be my pleasure to sit down and answer any questions about South. Coffee with the Principal will be this Friday from 8:30 - 10:00 a.m. Meet in my office for a cup of tea, water, or coffee. Any and all are welcome to learn more about South.
This week, we will be reviewing our SMART Goal #1. This will occur on an altered schedule and students will also get a chance to check in on their grades as their first few assignments will be placed in the gradebook. Please utilize your student's Student Planner to see homework and important dates to know how to support them. As always, check in with any of your student's teachers if you have any questions or concerns.
Grants Pass Dept. of Public Safety will be back this Wednesday morning to conclude their building tours. Again - please do not be alarmed by the added police/fire detail in the morning.
Lastly, we had a student of ours pass away this weekend. He was a brave Dude that touched the lives of many here in Grants Pass and even more folks beyond our tiny town. If your student was affected by this, please have them swing by the Counseling Center this next week. Our staff will be ready to talk with students and have some activities planned.
Grateful,
Mr. Sale
