Due to the predicted ice storm, we are going to have a 10:00am late start tomorrow, Thursday, December 8. Buses will run accordingly. We will monitor the road conditions throughout the early morning to determine if they are safe later in the day.
Today the freshmen class participated in the Career Connect the Dots workshop in Ord. Students learned about career education and planning while interacting with peers from other schools.
Does your family have a plan if Loup City Schools has a late start or cancels school due to inclement weather? We are in the middle of winter storm season and the possibility of freezing rain, ice and snow are very real.
If we were to have a 10:00am late start or call off school for bad weather, we will post it on the school website, Facebook, Twitter and with the local news outlets: KRVN radio and 10/11 News and NTV News. I like to make those calls as early as possible in the morning. If a weather event happens at night, the call will be made then. If we do have school and the roads are hazardous in your area, please make the best decision for your children. Do not let me make the determination for your children.
Please make arrangements for your children to have a safe place to go if you are working and school is not in session. Safety is our first priority! Thank you!
Please join us on December 8th for our Title 1 Family Engagement Night.

The seventh grade science class is learning about chemical reactions and how substances interact. This week and next week we are taking time to do a class science fair structured around this topic. 1. acids and bases react using baking soda and a lime, 2. elephant, toothpaste, 3. pepper on the water reacts with a Hydro phobic substance like Dawn dishwashing liquid when put in water, and 4. Cornstarch and water mixed together to create a non-Newtonian fluid called Oobleck, which is a liquid when still, but firms up when met with force.

The 8th grade students are learning about static electricity. They have been experimenting with different scenarios with the balloons to see how they react and then explain what caused it.
This is a message discussed this morning in our homerooms:
7:00am to 8:00am is a dangerous time. Why, you may be wondering? Well, I'll tell you why.....daylight savings time!
We are scheduled to fall back one hour this coming Sunday. So before you go to bed Saturday night set your clock back one hour. The good news is you get an extra hour of sleep.
Back to why 7:00am to 8:00am is dangerous right now. It is still dark when you come to school. Many people are telling me that we also have kids that are not following safety rules when they walk and ride their bike to school.
The rules are simple:
`walk on the sidewalk,
`stay out of the street and
`cross the street on the corners after looking both ways.
If you drive to school, know that young kids are walking and biking to school, especially since it is still relatively warm. Not every block in Loup City is brightly lit, meaning there are areas where it is hard to see a person walking, especially if they are wearing dark clothing. Slow down and get your mind ready for the potential of having to stop quickly. The last thing you want to do is hit a little kid who lost their concentration and chased something out into the street in front of you.
WALKERS and BIKERS: did you hear that? YOU ARE HARD TO SEE OUT THERE! Be safe. Don't walk in the street when there is a sidewalk. Bikers follow the safety rules. We want every student to arrive safely....every day.
Discussion: have you seen young (or old) students put themselves in danger getting to school? How do we keep students safe?
Thank you to everyone that participated in the Pumpkin Decorating Contest this year. It is always fun to see the creative ways to decorate pumpkins that are inspired by books.
