This time of year traditionally the students begin getting restless. We begin heading into a tough stretch just prior to Spring Break. As an old Silsbee administrator once said, "the sap begins rising." This year is no different in regards to that "sap".
The past two weeks have been a rough period on the campus. Unfortunately we have had several of our students going through troubling times. The number one priority of a school is the safety of the students. When discussing safety it is more than just the physical safety it also includes the mental/psychological aspect as well. It has truly been heartbreaking with some of the issues. We are truly appreciative to everyone who has been working with the students and bringing to light some of these problems. If you believe or are made aware of a student in need of assistance please visit with the student's counselor or an administrator.
In regards to the other areas of safety please continue to monitor and report any suspicious or concerning information you receive.
We have officially reached the 5th six week grading period. Please have your grades in before noon Monday 2/26.
