  • Happy December Everyone!!!

    Goodness - how can we already be almost halfway through this school year???  I talked to the seniors about the “lasts” and how they should cherish every moment of this culminating year.  These “lasts” seem to be coming often and tend to only speed up - so be ready!!!  Anyway, I sure hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving Break and had a chance to enjoy some quality time, sleep and FOOD!  That week is always a nice warm-up for the many “edible consumables” we tend to “happen upon” during this time of year. I don’t hate it - that’s for sure! Anyway, it’s always nice to come back and interact with these young adults! They are so intuitive, funny (especially when they’re not trying to be), and creative. We hope you’ll join us as we help them finish this first semester strong!

    Inclement Weather Information:

    As we move into some of the more questionable weather, we want to make sure everyone knows where/how to access school delay/cancellation info. School delay/cancellation announcements will generally be made before or by 6:00 AM of the actual school day. This is done after school officials and other personnel have checked road conditions. Typically, these messages are shared via district Blackboard messages, phone/text messages, district email, the MHSD Facebook page, as well as various TV and radio news sources.  

    If you are not receiving notifications, please contact our school for assistance (208) 587-2570.  

     

    Petitioning for Credit due to Excessive Absences: 

    Parents/Guardians: your student may be receiving notification next week if they will be required to petition for credit, due to excessive absences. These notifications will begin next Monday, Dec. 4th.  No matter the reason – PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY WRITE A LETTER OF PETITION and turn it into the office BY MONDAY, DEC. 11th.  You can expect a decision before the end of the semester. You will receive notification through email - if you do not have an email, a letter will be mailed home. Here is an explanation of the possible outcomes:

    • Credits Denied – This would be based upon the reason for the student’s absences.  If verification is not received through a letter, denial is automatic. Parents/Guardians would likely be required to meet with an official at the district office for further consideration.
    • Credits Granted – Credits are granted based upon the approval upon legitimate reasons for absences. 
    • Credits Pending – Students credits are “on hold” until April. In order to receive the pending credits, the student must stay below 9 absences, second semester.

    ​    *If you have questions, please give us a call at 587-2570.

     

    Homework Club/Math Tutoring is up and running!  Mr. McLean, Mrs. Dubois and/or Mrs. Miles will be in Room 31 from 3-4 PM, Mon-Thurs every week to help students get a little more support.  Please utilize this awesome program - ESPECIALLY WITH FINALS ON THE HORIZON!.  Note: transportation will not be provided.

    Canvas continues to be our platform for student work, grades, checking missing assignments, etc.  If you are still not signed up under your child’s account, please feel free to do so.  The following link is a step-by-step slideshow that will guide you through the process (one is in English, the other in Spanish):

    I reflect a lot during this time of year. I have a lot to be grateful for and recognize the awesome opportunity we have as educators. Thank you for partnering with us as we work together to help these young folks pave their way into society. We hope you all have a relaxing and safe Christmas break!
