Information and News Rebel Talk online Click
here to view the February 2010 issue
of the Rebel Talk online Post Prom We are looking for 2-3 new people that would be willing to work together to oversee the Post Prom Party. There have been many different parents that have chaired this in the past. For the past 6 years Lori Smith and Nancy Smith have chaired this group. They will be stepping down from this role after this year and would like to have 2-3 new parents work with them to see how things are done. Southland Post Prom is an "after prom" party that is held every year for juniors and seniors at Southland and their prom dates. The purpose of this party is to keep our children safe and to offer them a fun-filled night of games, food & entertainment following prom. This event is held in the school gymnasium. The party is sponsored by Rebel Nation and has various committees set up to help organize and run this evening smoothly. If you would be willing or interested in doing this or would like more information you can call Lori Smith 582-7774 or Nancy Smith 582-7826 and we will be happy to answer any questions. Senior Portrait Pictures!! Parents/Guardians:
The time is nearing for you to turn in your senior’s portrait for the
yearbook. The deadline to turn this picture in is Monday, February 8th.
The picture can be sent to Ms. Katie Hillesheim from the photographer or you
can send a wallet size picture with your student. The picture MUST be
vertical as this is the layout in the yearbook. If you have a conflict with
any part of this, please contact Ms. Katie Hillesheim and we will figure
something out. More Senior Pictures… Senior
pictures and baby pictures are also needed for the senior video that is shown
at commencement. We will share pictures with the yearbook, also, so you may
turn in one senior picture for both. Pictures will be returned after they are
scanned. Instant Alert System – A Message from the
Superintendent We
did a trial run with our instant alert system last week and we ran into some
issues. We are working on getting that fixed and hope to use it
yet this year. Due to a glitch in the software, some people got more
than one phone call. We are able to send an email out to all parents
that have an email address on our JMC in the event of school closing or any
other emergency. We will try and use this when important information
needs to go out quickly. If you are interested in receiving email
updates please call the district and add your email address to our system. If
you are interested in receiving a text message, you can sign up at KAAL
Channel 6 or Fox 47 on their websites. It’s very easy to sign up and
you can specify the school you want weather related closings for. I
appreciate your patience as we try to improve our communication with all of
the stakeholders at Southland Public Schools. Here
are the links if you are interested in receiving text messages. http://www.myfox47.com/Global/link.asp?L=411052

Parents/guardians of Southland High School Seniors Congratulations to your
graduating senior! To recognize his/her
accomplishments, you may purchase a baby ad for the school yearbook. You have
a once in a lifetime opportunity to show off your graduating senior-be
proud! All that we require you to do
is submit a baby picture, a senior picture, and pay a small fee for placing
it in the school yearbook. Your senior would love to be recognized even more
in his/her yearbook! You and your senior will have this book for the rest of
your lives, so why not purchase one to recognize his/her achievements? Click here for more information. Ticket Sellers and Ticket Takers Needed If
