CALLING ALL HORNET FANS 🐝
Come join us Saturday night and meet YOUR HORNET Teams. Doors will open at 5:00 pm and activities begin at 5:30pm. Booster Club will be fixing all your favorite ballgame foods so no need to eat before you come. The Scott’s have been working hard to get the gym ready to start the High School season. Let’s have some fun celebrating our Hornet fans from young to old.
Students, please make sure to check your school email daily as there may have been assignment information given, outreach by teachers and attempts to contact you to monitor your progress. Don't forget, all assignments made will be graded and used for quarter grades which influence credit and promotion.
We are delivering food and learning packets every day this week. Please be ready when the bus pulls up on their afternoon routes stop. You can ALSO pick up meals at the cafeteria doors from 1:00-3:00 pm. We will allow a person to pick up additional meals for family member or neighbors who cannot meet the bus.
This is Renee Sagaser. First I apologize for calling so late. Second, I apologize for some of you not being in our student contact system. I included EPCO in our closing this week because I wanted all Fair Play students equally regardless of where they attended school. I recognize some of you felt your child was not treated fairly by doing that. My intention was meant to be a good thing but it turns out you felt mistreated rather than included. Starting tomorrow morning we will run the regular EPCO transportation. YOU as the parent may choose to send your child or you may choose to keep your child at home as we have done with the students attending Fair Play. Again I apologize for this misunderstanding.
We have enough bus drivers now to run routes TODAY. We will be running the regular route times TODAY. Please have someone at the drive.
Attention Fair Play Family. We have several staff members who have tested positive, but I assure you
they are doing as well as can be expected with COVID. No one is hospitalized, thank goodness.
However, we are having trouble covering all the open spots at school with less staff. TOMORROW only,
we are asking to have meal pickup and packets ONLY from 1:00-3:00. We will distribute meals to
multiple families if you are unable to pick up meals. We will not run bus routes
tomorrow. We are optimistic, we can get things turned around tomorrow and have meal pickups from
1:00-3:00 and then run the afternoon bus routes with the remaining meals and packets. There are some
teachers out and a substitute would not know how to do online so please be understanding this
week. Students will have until Nov 30th to turn in their work. We will STILL do contact tracing for anyone
exposed on Friday. If you do NOT receive notice from us, your child has not been exposed. We still have
a very low number of students having tested positive since school began. The rest of the staff will work
from 8:00-3:00 pm this week. We will need prayers and a lot of patience this week.

This is a message for our students who are currently virtual or who are currently on quarantine. We have been in contact with AT&T and have found out what has happened to the hotspots. We need to reprogram all hotspots that are currently in use. We have new ones to swap out with your old ones. If you are able to come to school to swap out hotspots they will be in the High School office or Mr. Whaley's room. Please, if you are in quarantine, DO NOT COME. Please call the offices and we will make arrangements to have your hotspot delivered to you. We are sorry for this inconvenience. Have a good rest of your evening.
Just a reminder that any educational packet materials from last week for the quarantined students should be sent back on the bus today (Monday). Also, new packet materials for those students, for whom it affects, will be sent on the bus routes today.
This message is to provide information regarding the State Cross Country meet tomorrow. We will have a brief send off for our state bound team at the lawn on the west side of the high school at 3:00 pm today (Friday). Also, a reminder that there will be NO walk-up ticket sales to attend the meet tomorrow at 3:45pm in Columbia. Any spectator tickets remaining of the allotted attendance maximum will be open for purchase at noon today. They must be purchased as an e-ticket at www.mshsaa.org. They are eight dollars each and will include a processing fee.

Just a reminder that Parent Teacher conferences will be held for seventh through twelfth grades tomorrow (Thursday) from 12:45 pm to 7 pm in the cafeteria. We will have one cafeteria table for each teacher and the desk guards set-up for added precaution. We are asking that no more than two parents, guardians or visitors see a teacher at a time and please limit visits to 10-15 minutes. Of course you may contact your child's teacher by phone or email if you wish.
There is one announcement with this notification. Winter sport athletes, including cheerleaders, must have a current sports physicals on file prior to practicing or playing in the upcoming winter sports season. Physicals are needed by November 2nd. If there are questions about whether an athlete's physical is current, contact Athletic Director Kathy Scott.
There are two notifications with this message. First, there will be no junior high basketball games this evening (Monday) due to the Fair Play City Water issues that are affecting the school campus. Secondly, there will be no tutoring for Monday, October 19 also for the water issue.
SCHOOL will be OPEN tomorrow. The water leak has been repaired and the water level did NOT fall below the required level so there is NO boil order. All of this is GOOD news and worked out much better than we first anticipated. Thank you Fair Play City for working to keep our school open.
Tomorrow morning for the Coffee with the Superintendent I will be doing a virtual tour at 10:00 am of our gym lobby expansion. However, you may text me anytime tonight or tomorrow with any questions you would like answered about your school district. My cell number is 298-1935. If you can’t watch it at this time, no problem. We will save it on our website and on FB. You can watch it anytime. See you tomorrow.
Tonight's Junior High Girls Basketball game at Humansville has been moved up to a 7:15 pm start time.
REMINDER: Miles for Smiles Mobile Unit will be onsite this Thursday, Friday, and next Monday for check ups and cleanings, as well other services, as needed. Please turn in or request a new consent form before Oct. 15th, this Thursday if you would like your child to be seen.
This afternoon we had a substitute on Mr.Steve’s bus route on 32 highway. There was a need to stop quickly because of a safety issue with an elementary child. There was a dump truck behind the bus who also had to stop quickly. The dump truck stopped to the side of the bus. There was NO contact between the vehicles. The child is fine. It was a scary situation that your child could come home and tell you. I wanted you, the parents to know what happened.
