For Parent Teacher Conferences Tonight: Unfortunetly, we have two teachers that are home sick. Mrs. Muller and Mrs. Prelle will not be available tonight.
Reminder! Parent/Teacher conferences are tonight from 4;00- 7:00. We would like to ask that you be courteous of other parents time and keep conferences to a maximum of 5-7 minutes. This allows all parents to make sure they can speak with all of our teachers so we can brag about how wonderful they are. If you would like more time with a specific teacher we are always more than happy to set up another time to have ongoing conversations.
Thank you.

Good morning!
Attached is the our district opt out letter for the 2024 state assessment. We believe that it is the parents right to choose if they would like their students to take the assessment or not. If you choose to opt our your student please send back the attached document to the school. Mrs. Harris will also be available with opt out sheets during parent teacher conferences which will be held on March 5th from 4:00 - 700.
Reminder the CMAS assessment is only for grades 3rd-8th grade students and Juniors for a science assessment.
if you have any questions about your rights with state assessments or other inquiries please contact Superintendent Bowers and he'd be glad to speak with you.

The Lone Star Lady Longhorns will be traveling to Dove Creek for their Regional game on Friday, Feb 1st. They will play at 4PM. When they win they will play again at 10am Saturday, March 2nd against the winner of Arickaree and Cheyenne Wells. The games will not be live-streamed on Stormy Sports because Dove Creek is an NFHS school. Go Lady Longhorns!
HS Track Reminder: No practice tomorrow, Monday the 26th. We will try for Tuesday, weather and gym availability permitting.
Good evening Longhorn fans, for tomorrow's spirit bus we will be taking quite a few students, which is awesome. Just a reminder that the cost to enter the game for students is $5. We will be checking to see if students have that money prior to getting on the bus. If not, they will need to stay at the school. For lunch, concessions will be available or your child can bring a lunch. We are excited to cheer on our boys. At the game, the expectation is for students to be in the gym watching. If they are caught in hallways, common's area, or elsewhere they will spend the rest of their time sitting with the class sponsor and will not be permitted to attend future events.
Go Longhorns!

Playoff Basketball: The rules of playoff basketball may be new or confusing to some so here is a brief rundown. 1A now uses the same playoff system as 2A & 3A where 32 teams make it into the Regional\State playoff bracket. These 32 teams are based entirely on the CHSAA seeding index and have basically zero to do with how your team did in the regular season against teams in your district.
This means that you could lose at districts and still make the Regional\State playoff if your seeding index is high enough. This will likely be the case for our Lady Longhorns who are currently seeded #26 in the index. Regardless of their wins and losses this week, the ladies' season will continue into next week with Round One of the playoffs beginning Friday, Feb. 1st. The index will be recalculated at the end of districts, but it will be very unlikely for one loss to cause the girls to drop more than 6 spots.
The boys' team has a tougher hill to climb since they are seeded lower than the top 32. The boys would need to be the district champions for their season to continue next week.
Good luck to both teams at Districts. The ladies will take on Idalia at 6:30 Tomorrow in Idalia and the boys will play Arickaree in Arickaree at 6:30 on Wednesday!
Go Longhorns!
