SCHS Begins the 2nd Semester, January 24th!

I am very proud of the active instruction provided by our teachers and the level of engagement of our students.

The first semester has been challenging. All of us returned to full days of instruction, an increased amount of course content being taught, and higher expectations for student performance. This semester has been one of growth.

As we complete student exams and transition to the 2nd Semester I ask all families to please:

- Regularly, talk to your student about schoolwork and upcoming events

- Expect your student to show you how each classroom works, giving you access to web pages, Google Classroom, Blackboard, and Skyward.

- Help your student remain healthy by following good hygiene in school and at home.

- Encourage your student to drink water throughout the day, eat balanced meals (school breakfast and lunch continue to be free for all students), and to turn off electronic devices before going to bed.

- Establish routines and expectations for completing schoolwork during the school day, using the student center at the end of the day, or immediately upon arriving at your home.

- Insist that your student, when they have questions or need clarification, reach out to their teachers/counselors during class time or before the end of the school day. By addressing concerns in a timely manner most anxiety and frustration can be eliminated.
