The Home Stretch.........

for this school year has emerged and the days are few as we enter the months of April and May.  The spring is very busy for everyone, please check the calendar weekly so you can be informed on what activities and school functions your child will be involved in.  It is also important for students to manage their time well to ensure expectations are met in the classroom along with the other demands of activities and spending time with the family.  

If anyone is interested in joining our districts site council committee please contact me via email, tflavin@thunderhawks.org or by phone here at the high school 785-673-4223.  The plan is to get this committee in place as we move into the 2014-2015 school year.  The primary focus of the site council is to strengthen the relationship of the community and the school.  Together we can all achieve more if we share the same vision for our students, school, and community.

Exciting news right now is.......Wheatland High School was awarded the Governor's Achievement award by placing in the top five percent of all Kansas High Schools on state assessments in both reading and math.  This is the second time our district has received this award, the elementary school received it in 2011.

Also Congratulations to the Wheatland-Grinnell Scholars Bowl team!  They placed third in regionals and earned themselves a trip to the state scholars bowl meet.  The state competition will be in Rolla this Saturday February 15th, it begins at Noon  central time.

The music department has been preparing for their annual dinner theatre coming on February 22nd.  You may purchase tickets from music students or at the high school office.  It is a great opportunity to come and support the students and their music talents as well as enjoy some great food.

Welcome back to the second half of the school year.  A few reminders for parents and students stay up to date with the weeks activities on powerschool.  Also you are able to check lunch balances, and grades.  I encourage everyone to visit powerschool weekly to check these things and your students progress.  Often your child being aware that you check their grades is incentive for them to stay on track academically. -Have a great beginning to the New Year!
