Bearcat Wrap-up Podcast

Happy Friday! Thank you for your patience as we were day-to-day this week in determining whether or not to have school. I know this left some of you in a lurch because you travel more than a few miles to get to work every day.

Happy Friday! I want to begin by thanking our transportation department, especially all drivers, who struggled through the snow on Tuesday to get our students safely delivered home! Several of our staff members were out until after 5 pm Tuesday rescuing buses stuck in the snow: James Davis, Shane Torix, Danny Minton, Justin Head, Jason Hendrix, Josh Starr, and Alicia Moody. I want to thank all of...

Happy Friday! I sincerely thank you for everything you have done this week to educate our students despite some really rare and harsh distractions. I especially want to thank our security and law enforcement members for leading us through multiple bomb threats earlier this week without incident. Last year, on Wednesday, November 17th, there was a bomb threat made at the high school and there were...

Happy Friday! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and have had a productive week. Thanks for all you did this week to continue our mission. Much has happened through the course of the week coming out of the break and I want to use this Wrap-up to share the positives and put the whole week into perspective. Recognition In the Week 13 Wrap-up, I wrote about the state recognition that has been re...

Happy Friday! Thank you for everything you have done this week to educate, discipline, deliver, and organize our students! We are already through the first quarter of the 22-23 school year and seem to be going in a very positive direction. I especially want to mention the staff attendance this week. It was very good. In fact, yesterday there was only one classroom teacher out with a sub for grades...
