I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
2nd semester may have just started but let's talk a little about Prom. Prom is May 10th. Two of the three main requirements to go to Prom are good attendance and passing grades. Those both start now, so make sure you are going to all your classes & doing your best to get classwork done. It may also be a good idea to look at any fees you may have so you can work on getting them paid off.
Attention Sophomores, today is the first day to buy your class shirt! Shirts are being sold at all lunches for $15.
Juniors and seniors, if you are interested in purchasing an AP poster, they are $5 each. Please be on the lookout for a link from your AP teachers to sign up for a poster.
There will be some changes to 4th hour and lunch time. Check your email from Mrs. Shultz or the TV slide for more info about open campus for lunch starting Monday Jan. 27th.
We will be doing Edmentum testing starting Monday. During the week (Jan. 27 - 31) we will have individual core departments proctor a test each day during regularly scheduled class time. Monday will be the Math test taken during your Math class. Please show up to your classes so you can get the test finished. We use this approach to minimize testing anxiety and to help with testing stamina. Make sure that your computers are charged the nights before, you bring your chargers to school, and be ready to go for testing.
Dear sophomores and juniors. Do you ever feel like you need help coping with life's many challenges? Maybe you zone out when things get tough or get angry. The counseling office is going to run a small group during the second semester. We will meet weekly during the school day to help teach students coping strategies. If this is something you are interested in please see or email your school counselor.
If you checked out a library book for a class last semester please get it returned. Also check due dates on your other library books and get them returned or renewed.

Last night, the River Kings basketball program welcomed the Bulldogs from Bettendorf High. The Freshmen Kings started off the evening with a great game, coming back with pressure defense to force the game to overtime! The Kings were ahead by two points but lost the game in overtime by one point on a last second three-point shot by Bettendorf, 52--53! What a great job these Freshmen players are doing this season! The Sophomore squad ran into a solid Bulldog team and lost 26--66. The Varsity Kings played a great first half and were down to Bettendorf by only seven points at the half. Bettendorf played shutdown defense in the second half and finally won 63--33. Thank you to all of our supporters for coming out to cheer on the Kings last night!! GO KINGS!!
