Who
couldn’t use $50? Who doesn’t love Amazon?
We
challenge you to read a book. Just one to be entered into a drawing for a
$50 amazon gift card. So easy AND fun!
First,
go to the library, find a librarian, and choose a book from the choices they
have set aside. Don’t worry, all the books are amazing and highly rated.
Second,
read it. Don’t say you’re not a reader – reading will change your life!
Lastly,
rank and write a brief review in Destiny. Again, don’t worry! Super
easy! The librarians will help you out and get your entry for the drawing.
Get
going! The more you read the more entries you have! The drawing will be
March 14th so you have lots of good reading time!
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS)
This
quarter’s PBIS focus is a No Tardies Challenge. Students with No Tardies
between January 22nd and March 9th will be rewarded with
a Popcorn Party with the Principal. Please see the fliers in the hallway
for more details.
Dress Code
Please
remember hats are not to be worn in the school building. Dress code helps
students prepare for the real world of work, and provides a means to teach
students the importance of a respectable appearance that can positively impact
a student’s self-respect and self-esteem. The dress code policy can be
found in the DRHS student planner as well as on the DRHS and WCSD websites.
Vaping
The Corral wants to remind students that smoking a vape device on campus or within sight of school is a violation and the progressive discipline plan applies.

The
Washoe County School District is proud to be a 21st Century district
and promotes the responsible and thoughtful use of personal electronic devices
to support student achievement.

in mind that students may possess or use electronic devices on the DRHS campus
provided that it is not a disruption to the education process or a disturbance
of school.
Inside
the classroom or instructional process, school buildings and during the school
day, electronic devices shall be in the “off” position unless the devices are being
used for instructional purposes. Teachers and administrators reserve the
right to confiscate a student’s electronic device if it is interfering with
curriculum/instruction or student/staff confidentiality.
It
is unlawful for a person to engage in any kind of surreptitious electronic
surveillance on any public school property without the knowledge of the person
being observed.
Electronic
devices are prohibited in classrooms during assessments, semester exams or
other testing situations.
