Scranton Public School had a wonderful 1st day of school. We welcomed many new students to our building and 4 new staff members as well. Mrs. Heather Salzsieder is our new Kindergarten teacher, Miss Courtney Miller will head up our 7-12 science program, Mrs. Laura Weber will bring great real-world experience to our business education program, and Mr. Ty Lachowitzer will assist us as a general education para-professional.
Our message to our students yesterday was to show up, try new things, and support one another! We want to elevate our wellness, all five areas: physical, emotional, social, environmental, and intellectual wellness. Together we can create a learning environment that is great for everyone. Let's "Soar To New Heights!"

Football Clarification
Two a day practices for football are required for high school players. If you HAVE to miss a conditioning practice for a legitimate reason make sure you notify the coaches and prioritize the 5 PM practice so you learn the X’s and O’s.
It is much easier for you to make up conditioning on your own.
12 AM on Thursday morning is the optional midnight practice (which counts as our morning conditioning for Thursday). A bus will leave from Scranton at 11:20.
The first regular practice begins Thursday evening at 5 PM for high school players. A bus will leave Scranton at 4:20.

Reminder that tonight is the parent/player meetings for all Fall sports. All fall coaches will meet at 5:00 in the Hettinger AV room. Parents and athletes will meet in the Hettinger big gym at 6:00. We are excited to see you all there and to kickoff the fall sports this evening!

Reminder the annual bus driver training is scheduled tomorrow, August 6th in Bowman from 9:00-noon. Any individual that drives a bus for routes or activities must attend a training annually. If the Bowman date does not fit into your schedule, there are other trainings in SW ND that can used. Registration for this training can be found on the following site: https://www.resp-k12-education.org/bus-driver-training.php
