BIG...big...BIG Week at Miles High this week. First off it is Homecoming with all that entails. We want to have fun with all the Spirit Days, but please remember that dress code still applies. Nothing should cover the students face or hinder the learning process. No inflatables.

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.

Parents and Guardians,

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.

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.

Classes will be getting information out about Homecoming decorating plans.

Parents-Your students were issued three new consent forms today. This is a new requirement from the last legislative session. There is a Notice of Consent for School Health-Related Services, a Consent to Participate in Authorized or Sponsored Student Clubs, and Notice of Consent for School Counseling Services. These forms must be returned by all students. Please review and sign those forms and make sure that your student returns them next week.

Monday is a student holiday, so please enjoy the long weekend.

We have two weeks under our belt. This week will be our 3rd week and that means that we will pull grades for progress after school on Friday. This would be a great time to check your students grades on parent portal.
