Reminder that school dismisses at 3:00 PM on Fridays
Parents,
We release at the same time as the Elementary today. In order to streamline dismissal and not have a long pick up line, we are asking that Middle School parents park in parking lot on College and let your student walk to your car.
Thank you,
Mrs. Ruiz and Mrs. Ramirez

Hey Freshmen!
I know that you haven't met me yet, we are excited to have you on campus next year! An important part of our school culture is created by YOU! What kind of place do you want SHS to be?
You, as a grade level, will have up to 5 class officers. (You are not eligible to run for office in student council until your sophomore year, though we would love to have you as a member. Information on meeting times will be coming to you in the fall.)
Please see the attached packet if you are interested in being a student class officer. I will need to know which offices you intend to run for no later than Wednesday afternoon.
Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
