The Lady Blackhawks play SBA tonight at SC. Games start at 5:15 with the C game, followed by the JV, and Varsity. Bus leaves at 4:20 today.



Please join the SCW Lady Blackhawks Volleyball team on Oct. 19, 2015, as we play our Cancer Awareness games against Corsica/Stickney. A free will donation meal of grilled pork loin sandwiches, chips and dessert will be served.  There will also be a bake sale with all proceeds from the meal and the bake sale to be donated to the "You'll Never Walk Alone" Foundation. This foundation helps people in the area after they've been diagnosed with cancer of any kind by answering questions, giving out care baskets filled with items the patient will need  throughout their cancer journey (lotions, candies, etc.), helping to line up rides to treatments if needed, and much more.
We did not sell t-shirts this year but ask that people consider donating in other ways to support this event. Come out, support our Blackhawks, eat a great meal, and have some fun while supporting our family and friends that have battled and are battling cancer! We would love to see you there! Serving for both events starts at 5:15!



5th/6th Grade has basketball practice at Woonsocket today.



The 5th/6th Grade Girls & Boys Basketball Practice and Game Schedule has been added to the Google Drive. There have been updates made to the schedule. Due to conflicts with W. Springs, we have switched the home and away games with Wess. Springs.  We also changed a 4PM start time for Oct. 19. 




Academics

Mitchell Technical Institute will be hosting My Technical Interest Days again this year. Registration forms and additional information about the events can be found atwww.mitchelltech.edu/admissions/campus-events and on the attached flier.

MyTI (pronounced "mighty") Days are an opportunity for students, along withinstructors, counselors, and administrators to visit the programs at Mitchell Technical Institute that are the “next steps” in career clusters of interest. The student may be enrolled those program courses in high school or just have an interest in that area

The following are the dates for the camps:
October 15, 2015 – Energy
October 22, 2015 – Construction
October 28, 2015 – Ag and Transportation
November 10, 2015 – Business
November 10, 2015 – Cyber
November 18, 2015 – Scrubs
March 8, 2016 – Culinary

You will notice that there is not a grade level of attendance for MyTI Days. I would say that camp is geared more toward that sophomore or junior student that is in the midst of career exploration, but I wouldn't discourage a senior who is trying to figure out what to do next year or a freshman with a great deal of interest in that area to apply either.

Registration is limited, so I would encourage your students to apply early.




Any seniors interested in going to MTI and submitting a MTI scholarship for $500, please see Mr. Weber.  The due date is Oct. 9. 



Registration is currently open for the Teens As Teachers fall training held at the SDSU Extension Regional Centers. Training date options include October 12, 13 and 14. Teams may be affiliated with a school, 4-H Club or other organization. Four different content area curriculums are available for teams to choose to teach including: Character Education; Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM); Nutrition Education; and TeachSD (teaching technology to adults over 50). For a full description of content options, view 2015 SD 4-H Teens As Teachers Fall Program Options on iGrow.  For more information and registration details please contact Mr. Weber or Mrs. Johnson.


We are in the process of making changes and updates to the School Website. The Woonsocket School News, Woonsocket Google Drive, and now the new Planbook are all located on there under the quick links on the left hand side of the Homepage.


Planbook is a new feature we will be using this school year. It allows students and parents to view teacher's lessons online. A Planbook link has been added to the Quick Links on the School Website. Just click on the link and it will take you directly to the Planbook Website. When you are on the Planbook homepage make sure you click on student view. Then type in the teacher's email and the correct password which is located on the Planbook Page on the Website.
