Daily Bulletin
Hello everyone –
today is Friday, May 29th – and lunch today is Chicken Egg Roll with Fried Rice.
We acknowledge that we are on the unceded lands of the Spokane Tribe. The Spokane people shared this place with other tribes through their relations, resources, history, trade, and ceremony. We thank the caretakers of this land, who lived, and continue to live here Since Time Immemorial. This land holds the knowledge, culture, and spirit of “The People of the River”.
Please rise and remove your hats for the pledge of allegiance. “I pledge allegiance..."

The moment you’ve been waiting for (besides summer vacation) has finally arrived…
YEARBOOKS ARE HERE!
Yes, that magical book filled with your best selfies, questionable hairstyles, and memories you may or may not remember is ready for pickup! If you ordered a yearbook, make your way to Room B163 right after school TODAY to claim your piece of history. Bring your student ID (or another valid form of ID) so we know it’s actually you and not your twin trying to steal your spotlight. Don’t wait too long—your yearbook is eager to be reunited with you… and honestly, it’s been talking about you all day. See you there!
A friendly reminder for everyone: Our dress code helps keep school safe, respectful, and focused on learning. Students and staff should wear clothing that provides appropriate coverage and does not include offensive or disruptive images or language. If there’s a concern, staff will address it respectfully and with minimal disruption. Our “no phone” policy is a district expectation. Phones and headphones may not be out or used during class time. Students may use phones during lunch and passing periods, but all devices must be put away once the bell rings. If a phone or headphones are out during class, teachers or staff will confiscate them. Items may be picked up in Student Services at the end of the school day. Thank you for helping keep our classrooms focused, respectful, and distraction-free.
That is it for our announcements. I’m a John R. Pirate full of spirit and pride, and I love to hold it down for Rogers High. Let’s make it a great day Pirates!
