I would like to recognize Reagan Y. as student of the week.
Reagan has maintained 100% homework completion and exemplary test and quiz scores. She takes excellent notes and is willing to provide students who have been absent the use of her notes so that they can get caught up.
As an athlete Reagan is involved as a student leader . She promotes a positive sense of team both on and off the court.
She is an enthusiastic student in and out of class promoting respectful behavior to teachers, students and our school environment. She is always the first to great me with a huge smile and say good bye on her way to the bus.
Mrs. Pridgeon

PARENT INFORMATION
Did you know that students who legitimately use an opioid prescription are ⅓ more likely to misuse the drug by age 23 than those with no history of prescription use. The Student Prevention Leadership Team (SPLT) is campaigning against prescription drug abuse and heroin addiction. The strongest risk factor for heroin initiation is past abuse of opioids. If a child or a parent is prescribed opioid pain relievers after surgery or other medical procedures there is a possibility of becoming hooked to the drugs. Once they are hooked and all of the drugs are gone, they are most likely switch to heroin because it is cheaper than buying more prescription pills. When the doctor tells a patient to stop using medications or there is medication left over after past medical procedures, the pills should be disposed of in RedMed Box to avoid misuse.
Admitted to taking painkillers such as Oxycontin, Codeine, Vicodin, or Percocet without a doctor's prescription!
