Week of September 30

Hello Ranchers!

Thank you for a great week. It was a crazy morning this past Friday to pack in all those various tasks in order to minimize disruptions on multiple days. Thank you all your patience and assistance to get through that time in the morning. Based on your feedback in the latest survey as it relates to minimizing disruptions, the administrative team will make effort to minimize the disruptions during the year. 

If there are any Sophomores or Juniors who missed the mandatory PSAT preadministration activity, they will have the opportunity to make it up at 11:30 on Tuesday, October 1, in the media center.  Students should bring a number 2 wooden pencil.  Mrs. Barnum is the contact for this mandatory make up session. 

OneCard wearing will be starting soon. Now that we have most pictures taken, we will have an Access411 representative on site to snap and print on the spot until ALL students have a card and a lanyard. Also - if any student needs a lanyard, there are a bunch in the teacher's mail room in the yellow rolling basket. 

Any seniors who missed the retakes for the senior pictures can contact Lifetouch the following e-mail address wcarter@lifetouch.com

This Monday, we start additional changes with bus routes. While times continue to improve, they are still not acceptable. It is my hope we see drastic changes this coming week. If not, I will continue to put pressure on more changes as it is not acceptable for our most at risk students (let alone any students) to miss this much instructional time in the AM. We are also working closely with the High Point Police Department to minimize the amount of construction that takes place on Skeet Club during High Traffic time before and after school. Last, we are waiting for reusable bus passes to arrive from the print shop for better monitoring of students who get off the bus and are late. 

Free Application for Federal Student Aid Day! FASFA opens up Oct. 1. Please remind families through your distribution lists to begin the application (send the picture below as well to your contacts).(https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa). They can also go to www.cfnc.org for one stop shop for scholarships searches, apply for college, study for tests, send transcripts, and much more.

One scholarship in the amount of $500 for one 10^th-12^th grade student will be awarded that night!!!
