Checking Students Out
Any parent/guardian who comes to school to check a student out between 8:15 and 2:45 any day should simply park in the bus loop before coming in to get their student. Please DO NOT park in the handicap spaces in front of the school unless you have a handicap parking permit. Parking in a handicap spot without a permit is an automatic $250.00 fine and we don't want anyone to be cited. Thank you for your cooperation!

Outside Food and Drinks:
A reminder to our families that while it is perfectly fine for students to bring their lunch to school from home; federal guidelines prohibit commercial food and drinks (McDonalds, Sonic, Subway, Pizza Hut, Frosty Freeze, etc...) from being brought into the school. We cannot accept deliveries (via parent/ guardian or from a delivery service) of commercial food or drinks for students and any orders that do come in must be sent back with the person who is making the delivery.
Student Drop off & Pick up:
Student Drop off & Pick up:
Students who arrive or depart school as "car riders" should be dropped off and picked up at school via our car rider line on the "library side" of the building. Please do not drop your students off in the student parking lots or any other location other than this designated area. Only student vehicles should be in the student parking lots during the school day, including arrival and dismissal.
We appreciate your cooperation with this as it helps us make our campus more secure and safe for our students.

Taking the ACT and SAT
Taking the ACT and SAT
This has been linked in the senior newsletter every month, but I thought I'd send it out separately. Most colleges are still test optional, but if you'd like to increase your chances of earning more merit-based scholarships, you may consider re-taking the SAT or taking the ACT.
Both tests have a November deadline to sign up for the December test! If you need help, let Coach Satterly or Mrs. Mann know!

Warren RECC Youth Tour
Warren RECC Youth Tour
Warren RECC is sponsoring up to sixteen (16) high school juniors to represent their respective schools and our cooperative at the one-day Frankfort Youth Tour this spring. While in Frankfort, they will tour various state government offices and meet with Kentucky elected officials. From these attendees, up to eight (8) students will be selected to represent Warren RECC on an all expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., in June. These students will travel with other Kentucky co-op sponsored youth and co-op employed chaperones to see our nation’s capital and tour sites such as Monticello, Capitol Hill, Smithsonian Institution, Arlington National Cemetery, U.S. Capitol Building, among others and visit with Kentucky's congressional delegation.
1. To be considered, the student must:
• have established an excellent academic record in high school;
• have been actively involved in extracurricular activities;
• have demonstrated leadership abilities through community activities; and
• have, in the view of school officials, the inclination to be a serious, enthusiastic, and well-
behaved youth tour participant.
2. Student must be enrolled as a junior in high school at time the application is made.
3. Nominee’s parent(s) or legal guardian(s) must be active Warren RECC member(s).
4. The nominee must be a first-time visitor to Washington, D.C.
5. To be considered for the Washington Youth Tour in June 2027, selected students will be required to
attend the Frankfort Youth tour in March 2027 and agree to abide by the terms and conditions as
specified by Warren RECC and the Kentucky Electric Cooperatives Association.
If you are interested and think you qualify, please see Mrs. Bills. Our school may nominate one boy and one girl for consideration. WRECC will pick 8 boys and 8 girls from across the state to participate. Deadline to see Mrs. Bills is Nov 15th.
The HERO program at Vanderbilt
The HERO program at Vanderbilt
The HERO Program at Vanderbilt aims to increase participation in biomedical fields, especially cancer research and medicine, by empowering high school students through enriching experiences, activities, and discussions that introduce them to the incredible breadth of career and leadership opportunities in oncology. The program will run M-F from June 14, 2027, through June 25, 2027, and is open to rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors who reside in VICC's catchment area, and is entirely virtual. This program is funded by the American Cancer Society and engages students from four other NCI-designated cancer centers across the country. Vanderbilt is recruiting 30 students from across Tennessee and southern Kentucky for its 2027 program.
This virtual program will engage students through:
Sending research kits to their homes and providing experiment guidance live via Zoom with research experts
Providing cancer biology instruction and professional development activities via Zoom
Offering a mentoring network that helps guide students through the college application process and connects them with future research, educational, and career opportunities
Each student participant will receive a $500 stipend (subject to taxes) upon successful completion of the program. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to build a network and gain valuable STEM experience from their own homes.
To learn more about the program, interested students, families, and educators are invited to attend the HERO Town Hall on November 19 at 6:00 PM CT. The Town Hall will provide an overview of the program, application process, and an opportunity to ask questions. Participants may join using the Teams link below.
