S for School buses, Its the Law

STOP for School buses.

Its the Law
Please remember that it is illegal to
pass a school bus from either direction when the red lights are flashing and the stop sign is
extended. This has been a problem over at St. Marys Social Center. Even though the bus is parked curbside, you
must pay attention for the red flashers and extended stop
signs on the buses. This is a signal from the bus driver for
you to stop because students are loading or unloading from
the bus. The bus driver will deactivate the flashers and
stop sign when it is safe for you to proceed.

Bus drivers have been directed to record violators vehicle

license plate number and report it to authorities. The
penalty for passing a school bus is $100 fine and six points
on your drivers license. However, that penalty is nothing
compared to having to live the rest of your life knowing
you injured or killed a child for failing to stop for a school
bus. Please, for the safety of our students, obey the traffic laws and do not pass a school bus from either direction
when the red lights are flashing and the stop sign is extended. Violators will be prosecuted to the full extent of
the law.

HOLIDAYS..The
Christmas Concerts were absolutely beautiful. Thank you to all
who came to enjoy the students
with their musical talents. The
concerts were recorded by Dickinson Consolidated. If you have
consolidated cable, you will be
able to watch the concerts on
Channel 18. The schedule for
when the concerts will air may be
reviewed online at ctctel.com;

and review the channel schedule.
SEMESTER 1 Ends...
January 15, 2015 is the
end of 1st semester. Semester
test days are January 14th and
15th. Tests will be broken up by
odd and even pattern so students
may focus on specific tests each
day. Tests for odd classes (1st,
Homeroom, 3rd , & 7th) will take
place on Thursday January 14th,
2015. Tests for even classes (2nd,
4th, 6th, & 8th) will take place on
Friday January 15th, 2015. Courses offered 5a & 5b will remain at
the same time during lunch hours
and take place on both January

testing schedule and helping them
organize study time for semester
tests!

they have received prior permission

from the administration.
A student that attends a doctors appointment will be asked to
bring a doctors note to count as an
excused absence.
RAIDER SPORTSMANSHIP..

ACTIVITIES.The Raider
Community continues to provide extraordinary opportunities for our
students. Students are able to participate in multiple activities. It is
important for students to find balance with activities, studies, and
down time. It is easy to get caught
up in the chaos of society.
ACTIVITIES REMINDER.. The attendance and extracurricular participation policy states
Students participating in extracurricular events, practices, or rehearsals must be in school for a
FULL DAY if they wish to be involved in any extracurricular activity on that day,
evening, or following school
day. Students
who cannot attend school on
the day of an
extracurricular
activity may be
exempted from
this rule only if

Students need positive support

while participating in activities. It
is great to hear the crowd support
our teams. Let us represent our
community in a positive manner by
showing positive sportsmanship on and
off Raider campus. See you at the
games!
COMMUNICATION..Please
feel free to call and discuss any educational concerns or questions you may
have regarding your student(s) learning
by setting up an appointment with the
teacher. We want to support student
learning through student, school, and
parent communication.

Mr. Bohns Byline.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year one and all.
I hope you all have a blessed and prosperous
2016. I find it hard to believe that we are venturing into a new year already. Where did 2015
go? Two weeks after we return to school on January 4th, we will finish the first semester. It has
been a busy and exciting first semester. I have
enjoyed my new position and have learned a lot. I
am fortunate to be working with a dedicated
staff, superintendent and school board. The students are also working
hard to make this a
successful school year.
And parents, thank you
for all your assistance
and support. I am
looking forward to the
rest of the year.
A few highlights for
December were the 1-6
Christmas Concert, the
PK-K Christmas Program, the Geography
Bee, the classroom
projects dealing with
Christmas, and the
movie. A special thank
you to all the staff
that contributed money to give the students
the gift of the movie. I know the students are
very appreciative of your gift. A special thank
you also to PAWS and the community organizations for providing the goodie bags for our special guest Santa.
The 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students will be competing in the Geography Bee. The student receiving first place honors in the Geography Bee will
take the final test when school resumes in January. This test will determine whether or not the

student will compete at the state competition.

Good luck all of you, I am cheering for you.
If you walk down the halls at TRE, you would be
impressed with the variety of class work displayed. I am very proud of all your hard work
students. I know this will continue to happen in
2016. I have had the privilege of subbing in a
couple of the classrooms, helping out with projects in other classrooms, and observing some
of the students as they did
various presentations. I
know that a lot of good
things are happening in our
classrooms. Our students
are very fortunate to have
the vibrant staff we have
working with them in the
classrooms.
Beginning in January, the
fourth grade will have a
new face helping out in the
classroom. Mrs. Gullickson
is working with Dickinson
State University to mentor
a student teacher in her
classroom. I would like to
welcome Miss Shayna Dvorak who will be joining us
here at TRE to work with
grade four. I would also like to welcome the
new students and parents that have joined our
TRE family. I am very glad you are here.
As always, please go through the newsletter
and take note of what will be happening in January. If you have any questions, concerns, or
celebrations you would like to share, my door is
always open. Please dont hesitate to call or
stop in. Again, have a wonderful new year!

Parents of Seniors: Remember that you should fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) as soon as
you complete your 2015 taxes. To receive any federal funding (grants or loans), the FAFSA will need to be completed.
The FAFSA report will indicate the types of funding that your child will qualify for and the expected parent contribution.

https://fafsa.ed.gov/index.htm
Also, those students that would like to schedule the WorkKeys assessment to qualify for the ND State Scholarship,
please see either Dr. Vogle or Mrs. Jung so we can set up a time and date. WorkKeys requires three assessments which
are each approximately one hour long, so be prepared to spend a morning or an afternoon testing. The student will be responsible for the cost of the test, and it is $7.25 per assessment ($21.75 for all).
