Hello Knight Family:
This morning our freshmen and sophomores listened to a speaker about distracted driving flex period. Lily Lawrence lost her sister in a distracted car crash on Interstate 57 almost 6 years ago. The driver was traveling 70 mph slamming into Lawrence's Grandma's stopped car. The crash left her with a severe broken leg, her Grandma with multiple injuries but worse yet the death of her 10 yr old sister. Our students were exceptionally respectful and hopefully will think twice before driving while distracted.
Next week marks the beginning of the fourth week of our second semester. With three full weeks completed, students will now have the opportunity to leave study hall if they have a C or higher in all of their classes (and of course your permission). Saying it in another way, if your student has a D, F, or I (incomplete) in ANY course, they must attend study hall. Our philosophy is that this provides extra time to work on homework, meet with a teacher, or go to the math and writing center for help. Of course ALL students are welcome to stay in study hall even if their grades meet the requirements. We also often ask students to stay for meetings or to make up a lesson, quiz, test or lab if they have been absent. Teachers communicate regularly with students, so your student should have a good idea what is happening. Please let me know if you have any questions about this.
Great news for our Knights. The girls basketball team has made it to the final round of the LPC Tournament. The championship game is Saturday night at 7 p.m. and we face the Tri-County Titans in Cerro Gordo. This will be for the conference Championship and it should be a great game as both teams are ranked in the top 10 in the state! We need all of you to come and cheer the girls on. Let’s bring home the hardware!
Have a great weekend.
Mrs. Seegmiller
