New dismissal cards will go home with all students on Monday, Sept. 11. These dismissal cards will include an assigned number for each student or family. These dismissal cards should replace the previous dismissal cards and the old cards can be thrown away. Students will need to learn their assigned dismissal number. These numbers will be used as part of dismissal procedures at school each day.

The School Store Online Fundraiser is up and running! Thank you so much for your participation. This is one of the easiest fundraisers we have ever participated in at Slaughter. All money is earned by online donations and by Wolfpack family and friends shopping online. Earn our school money throughout the school year by simply ordering things you already plan to purchase online through our school's fundraiser page. As your child earns reward prizes, they will be shipped to our school. Thank you for supporting the Wolfpack!

Shanae Williams will be earning her school counseling internship hours at Slaughter this year. She is currently a second grade teacher on our campus, and we look forward to her working alongside the counselor to help support our students. Parent permission will be obtained prior to participation in individual or group counseling.
