Dear SHMS Families:
We are thrilled that clubs and activities have started here at SHMS, but we need your help. Please review this LATE BUS LIST with your child to decide which late bus is closest to your house. Also, as many of these stops are not the same as your child's regular stop, make sure to review the route in which your child will walk home from their stop. As this is sometimes a point of stress for your child, maybe even have them write this information down that is easily accessible at school, just until they become more familiar with the process of taking the late bus home.
Also, please remember to label any item that is dropped off at the main office with your child’s name. Sometimes items are dropped off without being labeled causing our office team to do our best detective work.
I want to provide an update on agenda books. There is a significant shipping delay on our order. We believe that our order will be shipped by the end of the month. Every student will get an agenda book. Thanks for your patience.
I would like to thank our art department and art students for beautifying our main breezeway with some amazing work. It looks wonderful.
Go Panthers!
