Principal's Message
We'd also like to send a huge thank you to all of our families who have adjusted to our changes in our traffic flow! The small adjustments by everyone have resulted in a large improvement to the process, especially in the mornings. Thank you again!
Please remember that masks are required for all spectators over 5 years old at our football game tonight if you cannot maintain six feet of distance from others. This includes all students, staff, and families. Thank you for helping to keep everyone safe.
Have a great weekend and Go Bowmen!
Mr. Mitchell
2021 SHS Homecoming Dance
Our 2021 Homecoming Dance will be held outdoors at the SHS stadium on Saturday, October 16th, from 7:00pm-10:00pm.
Tickets will go on sale Monday, September 27th, and may be purchased at anytime through our online ticketing system (more information to come on Monday), or before school, during lunch and after school at the Bookkeeper window near the front office.
Tickets must be pre-purchased and will be sold until the end of late lunch on Thursday, October 14th. There will not be late or at-the-door ticket sales. Early bird tickets are $10 with an ASB sticker and $20 without the ASB sticker and are available through Friday, October 8th. On Monday, October 11th, the ticket price increases to $15 with an ASB sticker and $25 without the ASB sticker.
In the past, students have been required to be current on their school fees and Career Credit to attend the dance. For the 2021 Homecoming Dance, we will not have this requirement in place as we are returning to in-person instruction. These requirements will most likely return for our 2022 Prom and all dances in the future.
A few items to note for this year regarding the dance are:
- Only SHS students are allowed to attend the dance, guests are not permitted.
- SHS students must be on the ticket list and bring photo identification to enter. The physical tickets are only a memento.
- All participants will be subject to a breathalyzer to enter the dance and any purses or small bags are subject to search upon entry. Large bags are to be left at home or in a car. There will not be a coat or bag check.

Safety
As a reminder, please have your student bring 3 masks to school daily. So that students have a back up in case their mask breaks, gets dirty, or lost.

Student Drop Off/Pick Up Guidelines
In order to help improve traffic flow before and after school please note the following guidelines and suggestions for the SHS Parking Lots:
There is no stopping or student dropoff or pick up on the driveway into the parking lot. All student dropoff and pickup needs to occur in the area in front of the school. (see the diagram below)
Vary dropoff times before school to avoid the congestion from 8:10-8:25
Vary pickup times afterschool to avoid the congestion from 3:20-3:35
Consider dropping off students in upper parking lot and enter the school through the commons
If possible, approach the school from the North on Elwert to avoid congestion at 99W and the roundabout
