Congratulations to our Runnel County Register Student of the Week: Lala Stokes.
Report Cards were issued on Wednesday. Any student that has not returned a signed report card will have lunch detention on Monday. Please check with your child, and possibly make sure that it is not still in their backpack.
If your student is taking the ACT, don't forget Mrs. K's ACT workshop on Thursday. There is not a football game this week so there will not be a pep rally.
Why should you attend?
✅ Learn how to complete your FAFSA step by step
✅ Get one-on-one help from counselors and financial aid experts
✅ Open the door to grants, scholarships, and college opportunities you don’t want to miss
✅ Even if you don’t think you’ll qualify—you might be surprised! And it's a graduation REQUIREMENT!
We adjusted the ACT Test date to allow for Mrs. K to do her awesome ACT Math Workshop the night before! We had some AMAZING results and gains last year during Fall testing after Mrs. K's workshop! Please plan to attend!

The students have a long weekend this weekend, since it is the end of the 1st Six Weeks. Report cards will go home on Wednesday. All students are required to return them signed by Monday 9/29 or serve lunch detention.
If your student has not returned the packet of permission slips yet, please make sure that those are returned also. Please see the other attached photos . They have important information about the 4-H Kick-off and ACT registration.
Enjoy the weekend.
We hope you have a great weekend.
We want to remind you that all students attending school sporting events must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. For safety reasons, students are not allowed to play within the fenced areas of the stadium, at the ends of the field near the scoreboard, or around the restrooms and concession stand.
Please ensure that your child is supervised at all times during games and activities. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone.
We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!

We also have the Miles Cross-Country Meet here on Wednesday. Students will be allowed to go watch and support the team, but if they owe work they will be required to stay in the library. This would be a GREAT time to check the student portal.
Speaking of checking the portal, this is the last week of the Six-Weeks. Teachers will be cutting off grades very soon, which is all the more reason to check the portal.
Finally, congratulations to our Runnels County Register Academic Student of the Week: McKenzie McFarland. McKenzie was chosen by staff members because she exemplifies the character trait of Fairness.
This afternoon, the school’s panic button was accidentally activated by a substitute teacher. This triggered a false alarm. We want to assure you that there was no danger to our students or staff.
We are very sorry for any concern this may have caused. As we continue to train and refine our safety procedures, we are working through these kinds of situations so that our systems are strong and effective if they are ever truly needed.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we prioritize the safety and security of our school.

Earlier today, September 10, 2025, the school’s panic button was accidentally pressed. Please be assured there was no emergency, and all students and staff are safe. Thank you for your understanding as we work to keep our safety systems ready at all times.

Students and staff did an excellent job practicing our safety procedures. Thank you for supporting our efforts to keep our school safe.
Congratulations to Camila Verastegul. She is our Runnels Country Register Student of the Week. She was chosen based on our Character Trait for the month-Fairness. She is known for treaty classmates and others very fairly.
There is an FCA meeting on Tuesday, but students will not be allowed to participate if they have not returned the parent permission slip that was sent out last week. Please ask your student and check their backpack.
We are getting close to the end of the Six-Weeks and we have a very busy couple of weeks coming. Find time to check Parent Portal for missing assignments.
We have our first Junior High pep rally Thursday at 2:17, but there will be no High School pep rally on Friday. We will have a short send-off for the team at 11:30 Friday morning.
