High school registration was a success. The students came in excited to see what classes they have this school year and what friends they have in class. They signed up for parking spots and lockers as they toured the freshly cleaned hallways.

 This year, some changes were made to the way we have done parking passes because some of the parking spots we have used for students in the past will be lost to the new building additions. We divided up the remaining lots into senior and junior spots and sold those places on a first come first served basis. The demand for our limited parking created a waiting list situation which we will use to evaluate the needs of those students and hopefully find a place for them to park soon. As our facilities expand and our class sizes continue to grow, we will deal with this issue and look for fair and equitable solution for our students.

The first day of school (Monday, August 19) is quickly approaching and the teachers are gearing up to welcome back the students. The doors open at 7:40  a.m. and we start at 8:05 a.m. Students can still sign up for schedule changes the first few days in the guidance center. The freshman transition camp will begin on the first day during their advisory time and they will have different speakers each day regarding all the things they will need to survive at Hallsville High School. Friday the 23rd will be the annual freshman trip to Scattering Forks in Mexico, MO to work on team building and getting acclimated to high school.
