Check out today's daily announcement video to find out why Captain Safety has joined Mr. Bestor today!

April is Severe Weather Awareness month, and today is the statewide tornado drill. Due to covid, the drill will occur through discussions only.

We all know the weather can change in a few minutes. Today in advisory, your teachers are going to review what to do to make informed decisions in the case of severe weather.

In addition, we also are asking you to install a weather app on your phone that will provide you with realtime information on how severe and when it will be in the immediate area so you can take appropriate actions.  

WeatherBug and Accuweather are 2 apps that are free and provide useful information. Weatherbug also has lightning alerts which are very helpful in making decisions on when to move indoors and take cover. 

Because today is a tornado drill, here is a bit information more on them:

Today we’re going to cover BORROWing… but first a bit of a recap mostly developed by some of our students!!!

Remember, earlier this week, we went over: 

 

So now we move on to BORROW. Even though you may have done a great job with all of the earlier skills, in the future, you might need to BORROW more than a few bucks.

The cost of going to college or buying a car is usually more than you have saved in your bank account. Luckily, investing in your future or purchasing an expensive item is still possible with a loan. When you borrow money from a bank, it’s not free money — you have to pay it back, plus interest.

Did you know? If you pay back your loans late, you will pay more in interest and late fees than if you paid them back on time.

Everyone borrows money at one time or another in life. If you make a plan to pay the owed money back on time and stay within your BUDGET, your debt won’t be out of control.

The amount of debt you’re in may impact how easily you can qualify for future loans after you turn 18. There is a written record, or credit history, that tracks how you’ve repaid previous loans, any outstanding debt, and other financial history. Your credit history determines your credit score, which helps lenders decide the credit risk associated with loaning you money. Credit scores range from 300 to 850. Generally, the lower your credit score, the higher the interest rate you will have to pay on future loans because it’s assumed there’s a higher risk you might not pay it back on time.

Please make sure you are bringing your own masks to school, and wearing them properly!

Be sure to follow your classroom cleaning expectations to help us all stay as safe as possible!

Our bubblers are turned off, but the refill stations are still on. Remember to bring your reusable water bottles to stay hydrated!

Please remember to wear your student ID every day, and at all times while you are in school. It is very important that you use those IDs (examples: lunchroom, signing in and out, etc.) so we reduce any unnecessary contact.

Please stay 6 feet or more apart, and do NOT leave your Advisory to seek face-to-face help, instead, use google meet to work with your teachers.

Hold the delivered pickles, hold the lettuce, anything outside the school cafeteria or your home-prepared meal does upset us.

Parents/guardians and students are asked not to bring/deliver food or beverages from any outside commercially prepared eating establishments to school to be consumed by students during their regular mealtimes, or any school hours.

It is noted in the student handbook that food from area restaurants will not be accepted during the school day. In addition, in our August 14, 2020 campus welcome back letter, we mentioned “Special food deliveries will not be allowed during the school day. Special deliveries sent to the school will be sent back with the person delivering the food, and will not be accepted or delivered to the student. When a parent/guardian needs to drop off a delivery for a student, the parent/guardian must communicate that to the student. Students will not be called down to the office to pick up their delivery. They will be required to pick it up during passing time or during their lunch break. Students will be required to turn the product over to office staff for disposal upon entering the building and will then be sent to class.
