STANWOOD HIGH SCHOOL
FAMILY UPDATE FOR WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 6, 2021
SHS VISION STATEMENT
Stanwood Spartans are united in cultivating character, modeling respect, teaching leadership and connecting to community.
What a great first week of school. We had a freshman orientation day, another day for grades 10-12, senior sunrise, grade level assemblies, and more.
We look forward to working with your child and family this year. Please plan now to join us on September 13th for our curriculum night (6:30 p.m. start time). More information can be found in this newsletter.
NEW: STUDENT DROP OFF/PICK UP
Student drop off and pick up is at the front of the school off of 272nd St. You can exit back the way you enter or you can drive on through and exit out of the "Ag lot" onto 72nd Ave.
Thank you for your patience as we all get used to the new drop off and pick up area.
The staff parking lot (closest to McDonald's) is for bus parking and staff parking only. Please don't use that lot as a drop off/pick up area.
NEW: COVID REMINDER
Families: Please remember that if anyone in your household has a cough or fever or if anyone in your household has tested positive for COVID-19, you need to keep your student home and contact your school. If someone in your household is waiting for the results of a COVID-19 test, all unvaccinated students need to stay home. Finally, if your student has been around anyone who later tests positive for COVID, the student needs to stay home until being cleared by the school nurse. Thank you all for doing your part!
