The Literary Magazine is now open for submissions!

Feel free to respond to the following prompts:

The start of the school year is an exciting time. It is both the end of summer as well as the beginning of a new school year. To play into this contrast, write a piece:

Where the beginning & opening are the same, but the meaning has changed
About a last-minute summer vacation that does not go according to plan
About a character who is willing to do anything to avoid going to school

Submit your pieces here!

Submissions are due on Friday, September 19 by 4:00pm.

Don’t forget: If you are late to school at the beginning of the day or late to class during the day or you are signing out, you must stop by Mrs. Rorey’s desk to get a note from her. Also, Thank you for your help with this!

Here is information for applying to the Watson-Brown Junior Board. Open to 10-12 grade students. Check it out!

Open Elective Offerings

Tardy Policy Update

Students who arrive to class late must sign in with Mrs. Rorey in the US office. (She will give the student a slip of paper with the time on in that the student will take to his/her next class). Students arriving more than 20 minutes late to class must have a parent call or email the US Office to confirm their late arrival. After the second tardy per class per semester, students will serve Community Restoration. After the third tardy per class per semester, students will serve a second Community Restoration and lose free periods and/or other privileges. Consequences will escalate with excessive tardiness.

Notes:

We will not be using QR Codes.
If you know you are going to be late to a class, go straight to Mrs. Rorey for a note with the time of check in on it.
When you enter your class late, give your teacher the note. Your teacher will know if you have had appropriate time to get to class from Mrs. Rorey’s desk.
If you know you will be checking out later in the day, and you are on Mrs. Rorey’s side of campus, you may want to have her write you a note at that time so you don’t need to go back later
You will have 1 “free tardy” to a class. So on the second tardy, you will serve Community Restoration

Dress Code Update

Facial Hair is no longer a senior privilege. With approval from the Deans’ Office, facial hair must be neat and well groomed.
You will have 1 “free dress code infraction”, so when you receive your 2nd dress code infraction, you will serve Community Restoration.
Please review the Upper School Dress Code policy before Wednesday. At the bottom of the document is a slide show with examples. If you have any questions, please let Mrs. Farmer or Mr. Olson know BEFORE you wear questionable clothes. You will be expected to be in dress code on the first day of school
You and your parents will now be able to view your dress code infractions.
