PLEDGE & MOMENT OF SILENCE

TODAY IS A “B” DAY

 

Seniors boys! Sign-ups for this year’s Mr. Mustang are now in the counselor’s hallway by the bookkeeper's window!  Come sign up today!        (Run January 17^th)

 

Hey Damonte! Need a night away, wish to travel to New York?  Well a Night in New York, winter ball dance is just around the corner!  The dance is January 27th in the commons and tickets will be sold pre-sold all next week for $12!  Guest passes are due the Wednesday before the dance so get them now!  (Run 1/17/17-1/19/17)

 

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 14^th so you have lots of good reading time!

Over Winter Break, the debate team traveled to Union City, California to compete in the James Logan High School Martin Luther King Junior Invitational Tournamen. Congratulations to Kobe Kitson for breaking to quarter finals and Jade Whitbeck for breaking to semifinals at this prestigious competition. If you're interested in joining the debate team, please contact us at damontedebate@gmail.com.

 

Hey Damonte, Winter Ball is Saturday January 27th!  Don’t miss the opportunity to recognize your favorite classmates!  THIS Wednesday and Thursday, January 17 & 18, Student Council will be holding royalty nominations during lunch and IC in the counselor’s hallway.  Each class will be able to nominate a boy and a girl to get the chance to become Damonte Royalty. Don’t forget to vote!

 

Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS)

This quarter’s PBIS focus is a No Tardies Challenge.  Students with No Tardies between January 22^nd and March 9^th 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. 

 

DRHS Technology Policy

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

Keep 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.

Schools are not responsible for lost or stolen personal technology devices.

 

Attention All Seniors-

Grad Night this year will be Friday, June 8th.

Scream the night away and celebrate the end of your senior year with a trip to California's Great America!  We will be joining at least five other high schools from Reno that evening.  This is NOT the night of graduation but will be the Friday before.  The cost is $185.

Look for more information and registration forms in the mail and in room 109.  To hold your spot, a $50 deposit is due by January 19, 2018.  You don't want to miss out on all the fun.  Reserve or purchase your tickets now.  If you have any questions please see Mrs. Norton in room 109.  (Run through end of January)
