Parents and Guardians: We've been made aware of the multitude of “swatting calls” targeting several high schools, eliciting an active assailant response by area law enforcement. Each of these, so far, have been investigated and deemed as a hoax. Stafford PD has not received one of these calls targeting our school. Please know the administration is working closely with area law enforcement agencies to monitor the situation and to keep lines of communication open. USD 349 has a proactive and well-trained Crisis Team who meet on a regular basis and staff know and review the district's Crisis Plan Information. In the event a call is made to target one or our schools, we will take it seriously and parents will be notified. Thank you.
The pep bus is a go! The bus will leave from in front of the high school at 3:15 on Friday and 4:15 on Saturday. If you haven't paid, please bring payment to the school as soon as possible.

Can you believe it's almost March?! Spring break is just around the corner (and hopefully warm weather with it)! For the month of March, we're talking about FORGIVENESS. We're defining forgiveness as "deciding that someone who has wronged you doesn't have to pay". I think we've all been in a situation where someone says they're sorry and, though we say we accept their apology, we haven't really moved on. When we truly forgive someone, we let go of the hurt or anger, we don't seek revenge, we don't hold a grudge or use it against them, and we don't bring it up again. In other words, forgiveness isn't just that we say out loud "I forgive you"; it's work we do within ourselves.
