Please be advised that for today’s field hockey and soccer games at FHUHS all parking will be on the soccer practice field. We are asking spectators to please enter via Pine Street. Regular student dismissal occurs at 3:15 pm, because of this, we’re suggesting arriving a bit early to reduce traffic flow and avoid traveling through the student and staff parking lots. Those attending the field hockey and soccer games will need to exit after the soccer game. We need the stands and area cleared to get ready for the football game. Gates will reopen at 5:30. Thank you and GO SLATERS!


Students in Mrs. Clement's Foods Classes made donuts today! They compared baked donuts to fried. Taste testers were not hard to come by!

Good Afternoon, Slater Nation!
With the fall high school sports’ regular seasons at an end, we wanted to share how to continue watching our student athletes during the postseason. While we regularly stream sporting events on our YouTube channel for regular season home games on LaPlaca Field, all Slater athletic’s home playoff games are required to stream exclusively to the NFHS Network (NFHS) in order to comply with a Vermont Principals’ Association (VPA) directive. The VPA has an agreement in place with NFHS that postseason games are live streamed exclusively via the NFHS platform. As a result, to find any home postseason games that we live stream go to our dedicated NFHS page found at the link below. Please note, there is a subscription fee to access the NFHS service.

Last night the Slate Valley mascots showed up at the homecoming game to help celebrate the seniors from Football, Cheer, Soccer, Marching Band and Cross Country! They also spread some Slater cheer as the football team romped to an undefeated season! It was rainy, but that didn't dampen any spirit! Sadly the halftime Mascot Madness event had to be cancelled due to running out of time, but they'll be back! Congratulations to all of our Senior Fall Sports players!











As part of Slaterbration, the FHUMHS Theatre Group held two performances last week for all district elementary school students. What a nice way to give back to younger peers and show them what they have to look forward to when they are old enough to attend the high school. Special thanks to Mr. Muller and Ms. Collins for making this happen.











Students from the Law Enforcement Class applied their knowledge of "AOJ" Ability, Jeopardy, and Opportunity during real-life simulations while visiting the Vermont State Police Academy. Students had to apply their knowledge of AOJ as scenarios were presented to them. Each student had to process their scenario with a Vermont State Police Training Coordinator reflecting on their decision making during the simulation. Prior to entering the room where the simulations took place, students had to do jumping jacks and run 100 yards to increase their heart rate as if truly responding to a high stress environment a dispatcher described over the radio. A student's arrival on scene, through the simulation, had them in the role of a Vermont State Police Officer. Students also visited the Canine Training facilities. Thank you to our SRO, Ed Hunter, for arranging this great off campus learning experience.







Yesterday we held our last of this fall's Coffee & Conversations at Buxton's Store in Orwell. It was a nice turnout with about 10 community members stopping in to chat with district administrators and school board members. We will be sharing dates soon for our Listening Tours that, as in years past, will be held at the district schools during evening hours.





Due to the current weather conditions that are forecasted to continue throughout the entirety of the day both of today's soccer games have been canceled. This means that both the 10 a.m. Girls Varsity Soccer and 1 p.m. Boys Varsity Soccer for today have been canceled. Be sure to join us next week to cheer on the Slaters as the fall sports playoffs get underway!

This week throughout Slate Valley, all of our schools took part in some experiential learning. Benson Village School’s fourth graders went to Castleton University and learned about the Hidden History Archaeology Project. Orwell Village School’s grades 4, 5, 6 traveled north to Isle La Motte and visited Goodsell Ridge Fossil Preserve. Castleton Elementary School’s 3rd graders walked along the main street of Castleton, visiting local sites connected to the traditionally read story, “The Blue Cat of Castle Town”. Fair Haven Grade School enjoyed performances by singer / songwriter Jared Campbell, who through humor and engaging music, shared messages about being a good friend, finding your passion, and making a positive impact in the world. Fair Haven Union Middle & High School’s Theatre Group invited all district elementary students to the high school to see performances of various short skits themed around fairy tales. The younger students had a wonderful time. Just a few of the great things happening in Slate Valley!






Good afternoon. Today, at approximately 2:30 pm, we had an accidental trigger of our "Lock in Place" alarm. This was an unintentional alarm as there was no incident that occurred. We apologize if this may have caused concern for any of our students.

CHANGE IN PLANS!
We will be celebrating our Boys Varsity soccer seniors: Noah Woodbury and Patrick Stone tonight 10/20 at 6:30pm, along with Marching band, cross country, cheer and football.
Come one, come all to celebrate these amazing seniors.
Congratulations to all!


Congratulations to our Girls Soccer Team! Quite an accomplishment! Slater Nation is very proud!
