E-sports today from 3:10-5 in Mr. Okoh's room
Attention all current 8th-11th graders—please check your e-mail for a survey regarding the possibility of a new course addition. Your feedback from this survey would be greatly appreciated.
This is a reminder that students are not permitted to wear hoods anywhere in the building, including hallways, classrooms, bathrooms, and the cafeteria. Wearing a hood is a dress code violation. There will be no additional reminders—violations will result in a referral.
Be a respectful Cyclone, please.
High school and junior high are different experiences. Although our school is a combined building, we strive to keep things separated when possible.
High school students should not be at junior high lockers, and junior high students should not be at high school lockers.
Thank you for keeping our hallways safe and orderly.
Students: If you need to meet with a teacher during lunch—whether for a club meeting, make-up work, or a test—you must have a pass before you come to the cafeteria.
If you arrive without a pass, you will not be permitted to leave the cafeteria.
Teachers may also email Mrs. Thompson or Mrs. Pittman a list of students who are approved to leave.
Winter Weather Reminder
As we head into winter, here’s what to expect if school is canceled:
E-Learning Days: If we know the night before or the weather is too dangerous to be outside, we’ll likely use an E-Learning Day.
E-Learning Day Schedule:
Students in grades 5–12 will follow the SIP schedule from 8:00–12:30.
Teachers will post their Google Meet link at 8:00 AM in Classroom. Teachers will take attendance for each class and students are expected to be present and engaged. E-learning days are considered to be a school day, so we don't have to make these up. As such, we will all treat these days like a regular learning opportunity, just as we would if we were in the building.
Breakfast - students are not permitted to eat breakfast in classrooms. Breakfast items must stay in the cafeteria. If a student shows up to a classroom with breakfast items, please send them back to the cafeteria.
Our school newspaper has officially gone digital. It’s now a school blog! Click this link to be taken there, and subscribe so you receive email notifications when a new post goes live! While the journalism class is leading the way, we want this to be a space for all student voices. If you have an article idea, opinion piece, or story you’d like to share, we’d love to feature it. Student guest writers are welcome to contribute to the blog. For more information or to get your writing added, email or talk with Mr. Sullivan.
Reminder - Students should keep their cell phones off and ear buds in their locker not in their pocket.

Winter Weather Reminder
As we head into winter, here’s what to expect if school is canceled:
E-Learning Days: If we know the night before or the weather is too dangerous to be outside, we’ll likely use an E-Learning Day.
E-Learning Day Schedule:
Students in grades 5–12 will follow the SIP schedule from 8:00–12:30.
Teachers will post their Google Meet link at 8:00 AM in Classroom. Teachers will take attendance for each class and students are expected to be present and engaged. E-learning days are considered to be a school day, so we don't have to make these up. As such, we will all treat these days like a regular learning opportunity, just as we would if we were in the building.
Breakfast - students are not permitted to eat breakfast in classrooms. Breakfast items must stay in the cafeteria. If a student shows up to a classroom with breakfast items, please send them back to the cafeteria.
Our school newspaper has officially gone digital. It’s now a school blog! Click this link to be taken there, and subscribe so you receive email notifications when a new post goes live! While the journalism class is leading the way, we want this to be a space for all student voices. If you have an article idea, opinion piece, or story you’d like to share, we’d love to feature it. Student guest writers are welcome to contribute to the blog. For more information or to get your writing added, email or talk with Mr. Sullivan.

Cyclone Stories | Student Voices Matter
One of the best parts of West Prairie is what happens in the ordinary moments—when a student pushes through something hard, when a teacher makes a difference, when a team comes together, or when someone quietly chooses to grow.
Recently, we asked our students to share their own Cyclone Stories—real moments that made them feel proud, supported, challenged, or simply seen. These stories help us celebrate what’s going right, and they remind us that Cyclone Nation is built on more than events and achievements…it’s built on people.
Here’s one we want to share today:
“Grant Bland is my basketball coach - he has been my PE teacher and coach for awhile now. He takes time to support not only me but my teammates as well. He always has a positive attitude and pushes us during this season. We are currently 13-10 which has been awhile since West Prairie Girls Basketball has done that. He is the person to give thanks to, he has stuck with us through truly the best and the worst, Freshman year going 6-22 with a big first regional win, to then my sophomore year going 0-15 with 6 girls on both JV and varsity, to then my junior year 6-25 with a regional win, and now my senior year so far going 13-10. He has been supportive and has been with us through everything. From Coach Bland, I've learned that just a little bit of effort and positive attitude goes a long way.” - Maicyn

My friends and I started a lawn care business at 15 and 16. We found our own clients, made our own advertisements, and built it from the ground up. It’s taught us independence and responsibility. - Mayson

“This year for volleyball I am the starting setter. I have wanted to be a setter even before I was playing, and I have never been able to do it until now. I have worked my butt off during the summer to make it here and I am so glad I made it. I have confidence in our team and I think we have improved so much since last year. I learned that even if you don’t get what you want right away, trying and failing is better than trying and giving up.” - Taegyn

Please Stand for the Pledge of Allegiance
At this time we will take a moment of silence (10 seconds).

Tomorrow’s Breakfast: BREAKFAST SANDWICH, FRUIT/MILK
Tomorrow’s Lunch: CHICKEN EMPANADA, REFRIED/SALSA, FRUIT/MILK
THE CYCLONE CODE: JUST LOOK UP!
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Teachers please look at your email from Mrs. Thompson
This is a reminder that students are not permitted to wear hoods anywhere in the building, including hallways, classrooms, bathrooms, and the cafeteria. Wearing a hood is a dress code violation. There will be no additional reminders—violations will result in a referral.
Be a respectful Cyclone, please.
High school and junior high are different experiences. Although our school is a combined building, we strive to keep things separated when possible.
High school students should not be at junior high lockers, and junior high students should not be at high school lockers.
Thank you for keeping our hallways safe and orderly.
Students: If you need to meet with a teacher during lunch—whether for a club meeting, make-up work, or a test—you must have a pass before you come to the cafeteria.
If you arrive without a pass, you will not be permitted to leave the cafeteria.
Teachers may also email Mrs. Thompson or Mrs. Pittman a list of students who are approved to leave.
Winter Weather Reminder
As we head into winter, here’s what to expect if school is canceled:
E-Learning Days: If we know the night before or the weather is too dangerous to be outside, we’ll likely use an E-Learning Day.
E-Learning Day Schedule:
Students in grades 5–12 will follow the SIP schedule from 8:00–12:30.
Teachers will post their Google Meet link at 8:00 AM in Classroom. Teachers will take attendance for each class and students are expected to be present and engaged. E-learning days are considered to be a school day, so we don't have to make these up. As such, we will all treat these days like a regular learning opportunity, just as we would if we were in the building.
Breakfast - students are not permitted to eat breakfast in classrooms. Breakfast items must stay in the cafeteria. If a student shows up to a classroom with breakfast items, please send them back to the cafeteria.
Our school newspaper has officially gone digital. It’s now a school blog! Click this link to be taken there, and subscribe so you receive email notifications when a new post goes live! While the journalism class is leading the way, we want this to be a space for all student voices. If you have an article idea, opinion piece, or story you’d like to share, we’d love to feature it. Student guest writers are welcome to contribute to the blog. For more information or to get your writing added, email or talk with Mr. Sullivan.
Reminder - Students should keep their cell phones off and ear buds in their locker not in their pocket.
