Please see the information linked here about an anonymous reporting tool that is on your school computer’s desktop, on our district homepage, and now here in this email. This is a way to either ask for help for yourself or a friend. One of the hardest things to do is to ask for help and that is why this program was created: to ask for help. It is our priority to ensure that each and every student and staff member is safe: emotionally, physically, and mentally, however adults are not going to be aware of every event and conversation that is had. This platform gives every one of you the opportunity to report concerns for self-harm, suicidal thoughts, bullying, drug and alcohol use, and safety on the internet/online.

Due to the weather on Monday night, the burning of the H that usually occurs after coronation was cancelled. We will be rescheduling this event to directly after the Homecoming Football game this Friday night. The burning will take place on the practice field behind the stadium. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding as we deal with Mother Nature. See you all there! Roll Bison!
