Spirit Week– Please support our students and the Spirit Club next week with the various dress up days. Our kids love it when we participate along with them.

October 30 PSAT Information– Grade 10 and 11 students will be writing their PSAT exam in the HS Gymnasium on, Wednesday, October 30, 2018 from 8:00am – 11:30pm.  The Day Schedule that day will be a Regular Day, Day 3.  B,C,D,A.  All 10th and 11th graders will be asked to be seated by 8:00am with hopes of starting the exam by 8:15 am.  We will aim for an 11:30 am end time.  Students will be assigned seats.  The list will be posted on the windows of the Gym, the doors of the Gym.  Grade 10 and 11 students will go to their regular Block D class when the PSAT Exam is over.

MRISA Opening Assembly, October 31– We are hosting the MRISA Volleyball tournament at SSIS on October 31 to November 2 here at SSIS. One of the school expectations for MRISA and SEASAC is to host an opening Assembly with the student body. It is a great way to kick off a competition and to build community. All faculty and students will attend the assembly on Thursday, October 31 at 8:00am in the Auditorium. Students should show up to your F block classes, drop off their bags, then walk down to the auditorium. It should last until about 8:20-8:25 and students should be back in their F block classes by 8:30. We have taken this time from the first block class in the past. At the HSLT meeting this week, we looked at different options, but decided to keep this format. On another note, come out and support our athletes when you can during your prep, lunch after school and/or on Saturday. Here is the tournament schedule.
