Family Movie Night…Again!

Please join us for the second Family Movie Night of the year! It will be held in the auditorium on Thursday, March 14th, 2019. The movie will begin at 6:00 PM, so be sure to get here a little early to get a good seat! We will be showing Smallfoot, which is rated PG.

Synopsis: An animated adventure for all ages, with original music and an all-star cast, Smallfoot turns the Bigfoot legend upside down when a bright young Yeti finds something he though didn’t exist – a human. News of this “smallfoot” throws the simple Yeti community into an uproar over what else might be out there in the big world beyond their snowy village, in an all new story about friendship, courage, and the joy of discovery.

Trout In The Classroom

The fifth grade class is participating in the Trout in the Classroom (TIC) program. This is a hands-on educational program in which students:

  • raise trout from eggs to fry
  • monitor tank water quality
  • engage in stream habitat study
  • learn to appreciate water resources
  • begin to foster a conservation ethic
  • grow to understand ecosystems

We received our trout eggs on January 17th and have enjoyed watching them grow and change from eggs to alevin and to fry.

FBLA Best In The West

Yesterday the Hay Springs chapter of Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) participated in the Best in the West Business Invitational in Chadron. We took four students to this event we had two students place: Jarret Pieper got first place in Economics and Erin Kadlecek got fifth in Accounting 1.  The other two students that participated were Ashley Burrows and Hannah Wohl.  This is a testing event designed to prepare students for the State competition in Omaha in April. We will be attending another event to help prepare us for the state competition the next one is in March in Kearney.  If you would like to donate any funds to help us get the last two events of our season, please feel free to contact Ms. Lein at the school.

Friday School Requirements

Dear Parents,

As you already know in an effort to assist struggling students we provide Friday School​ with professional teaching staff available to assist student learning on Fridays from 8:00am until 12:00pm. It is a requirement for students with 2 D’s or one F on Monday morning grade reports to attend Friday School​. These students are also ineligible to participate in school activities during the week. They do however, have the ability to complete work and get signed out of the Friday School requirements. To do so, they must get teachers from struggling classes to sign-off for completing the work required to bring their grades up.

The issue has been that we have students that remain on this list Thursday afternoon who are not signed off and then are not coming to Friday School. In the future students that do not come to Friday School as required will have additional requirements.

  1. Make arrangements with Mrs. Marx or Mr. Lechtenberg on Monday morning to​ spend six additional hours at school. (It may be possible to put these additional hours in before or after school Monday-Thursday)
  2. They will also be expected to turn their cell phone into the office when they arrive at school​ at the beginning of the day and pick it up at the end of the day, or simply leave it at home during the week of makeup time.

These adjustments are not being put in place to punish anyone but to enhance the possibly for student’s academic success. We are available to provide additional academic support for your child but we also need your support as parents and guardians of your students.

Thank you for your cooperation and support,
Mr. Lechtenberg
