SEPTEMBER STUDENT SURVEY: In the month of September will be surveying our students about their willingness/ability to connect and communicate with a staff member if they ever feel they need to. This would be a great opportunity for parents and students to talk about those times when this would be appropriate. If for any reason parents would not wish their students to participate in this survey please notify the school office and we will discreetly make sure that your student is not surveyed. If you have any questions, we encourage you to contact our administration. As part of our responsibility to do our part in insuring that our student"s social and emotional health needs are met, it is our goal that students feel comfortable and connected with at least one staff member. Thank you for your cooperation.
Over the past two weeks, secondary teachers have been recognizing students for exhibiting RARE qualities (Respect, Accountability, Responsibility, and Empathy). Every Thursday, students who have been recognized that week are entered into a drawing for a small prize. Our first winner was Coltan Clouse, who was recognized for sitting with a younger student who was sitting by himself at lunch.
Other students who were recognized last week: Renae Sosa, Joei Stewart, Micah Weems, Lilly Kleist, Leo Walz, and Brandon Frey

LET'S GO MAVERICKS!!!
Last week the 8th grade headed to the NRD in Thedford. Students participated in educational sessions on water, wildlife, range, forestry, and soils. It was a great outing with lots of fun.









DAMAGE REPORT FROM SCHOOL: As of now it looks like we will most likely be able to resume school as scheduled on Monday. We did experience at least one broken gas line and potential damage to an HVAC line or two. In addition we did sustain some roof damage, especially to the flashing and edging, but no significant water damage to anything. Arrangements have been made to make the repairs and it appears we should be ready to go for Monday. A big thanks go the Volunteer Fire Department for their hard work last night and our custodial and maintenance crew. Everyone be safe!
NO SCHOOL TOMORROW: Due to storm damage there will be no school tomorrow. Stay tuned for future developments.
Student of the Week... Izzy Waker!!

ACTIVITY VAN TOMORROW: athletes in fall sports beginning tomorrow we will offer an activity Van to drive students back to North Platte after false sports practices. Please remember to sign up daily in the front office if you were going to ride the van. Also make sure you are communicating with your parents and the Van drivers. Drop offs will be at the same places as the north Platte bus the tanks in the north and armory park unless other arrangements are made with the driver. Also be prepared to make alternative arrangements in the event. The van does not operate on days when cross country has a competition.
