Hello Knight Family:
It is finally here, Homecoming Week. Here are a few details to help you prepare for the festivities. Monday through Thursday next week, we will run each class for the same amount of minutes. Even though there is a lot of preparation going on each day, we are still teaching and learning. Our bell schedule looks different because we will be combining flex and study hall periods at the end of the day. During that time, students will be able to work on homework or activities for Homecoming Week. We are hoping that this will allow more students the opportunity to be involved with their homecoming activities. Study hall is MANDATORY for ALL STUDENTS next week!
Sunday- (Yes, Sunday. We take over the school and have crazy fun that usually includes pizzas as we decorate the hallways for the first competition. (Class Sponsors will set times.)
Monday-Thursday- Float Building built into our daily schedule & after school until 5 p.m. Students may stay until 5 or leave when they need to go. The more hands the better. The rumor is the seniors will rock this, but I am also hearing a lot of chatter about the freshman class float!
Monday- Sleeping Beauty: Wear your pajamas!
Tuesday- Character Day: Dress as your favorite character/duo/group!
Wednesday- Heroes VS. Villains: Dress as your favorite Hero or Villain!
Thursday- The Royal Ball: Wear formal wear!
PLUS Volleyball Game (5 p.m. & 6 p.m.),followed by our Powderpuff, & Bonfire
Friday- Knights Wear: Wear your best Knights gear and/or School Colors!
On Friday, September 27, we have a REGULAR 3:13 dismissal. Our traditional Homecoming Parade starts at 2:00. We have built a creative schedule to include all students in the fun. The details of our Friday schedule are below. The important information for you to know is that on Monday you will receive a Google form so you can tell us what your student is doing during the parade. For example, your student might be marching with the band or on the volleyball float or an attendant for the Homecoming Court. If your student is NOT in the parade, your student will remain at school with us and we will watch the parade together. Our shuttle buses will be running at the regular times. We are asking every parent to complete this form on Monday to help us know where every student is! Please note this is a regular day of school attendance for your student and their attendance is required until 3:13. If you are signing your student out before the parade, please call the office and let us know. Thank you in advance for communicating with us and helping keep everything organized and running smoothly.
