A Message from the Superintendent
We are currently in our sixth week of school and I want to remind parents to be checking those backpacks for progress reports if you aren’t currently using Skyward to monitor your child’s grades. If you aren’t utilizing Skyward I would encourage you to follow the steps below in order to gain access to our student software system. Skyward gives you access to your child’s grades 24/7. You can view grades directly from your cell phone or computer.
I also want to remind parents that Monday is a student holiday/staff professional development day. In the month of October we have moved our regularly scheduled board meeting from October 14th to the 21st.
I enjoyed watching parents come to the school this week and eat lunch with their children. Tip of the day: One day they may not want you to come and eat with them. Take advantage of every opportunity you get to come and eat with them.
Parent Skyward Access
Parents, please follow these steps to check your student’s grades through Skyward:
- Go to the school website, www.shisd.net.
- Under the Parent tab - choose Skyward Student.
- Enter Login ID: If you need this - contact the campus secretary / receptionist and she will check that your email is in the system and send you a link with your information.
- Enter Password: the link from the campus will have a password reset option.
- When Skyward opens - Click “Open Family Access” in the upper right hand side of the page
- If you have more than one student, there will be a drop down box on the top left hand side of the window for you to select which student you wish to view.
- Choose the option from the Menu down the left hand side of the page. For Example - Gradebook - this will open up your student’s grades. You may then click on a specific grade for more details.

SHHS Leaders' Core Honors First Responders Day
Superintendent Wayne Guidry Reads to Sixth Grade Students in Remembrance of 9/11
In June of 2002, a very unusual ceremony began in a far-flung village in western Kenya. An American diplomat is surrounded by hundreds of Maasai people. A gift is about to be bestowed upon the American men, women, and children, and he is there to accept it. The gift is as unexpected as it is extraordinary.
A mere nine months have passed since the September 11 attacks, and hearts are raw as these legendary Maasai warriors offer their gift to a grieving people half a world away. Word of the gift will travel newswires around the globe, and for the heartsick American nation, the gift of fourteen cows emerges from the choking dust and darkness as a soft light of hope—and friendship.
This New York Times best seller recounts the true story from Wilson Kimeli Naiyomah of a touching gift bestowed on the United States by a tribe of Maasai Warriors in the wake of the September 11th attacks. With the stunning paintings of Thomas Gonzalez, master storyteller Carmen Agra Deedy hits all the right notes in this elegant story of generosity that crosses boundaries, nations, and cultures.

High School Art Students Participate in Creating a Kinder World Through Art
The Memory Project is dedicated to promoting intercultural awareness, friendship, and kindness between children around the world through the universal language of art.
They facilitate two global programs: a Portrait Program where high school art students create portraits as special gifts for children facing substantial challenges around the world and an Art Exchange where elementary and middle school students engage in positive citizen diplomacy by exchanging heartfelt artwork with children from countries in tension with the USA.
Thank you to our new high school art teacher, Karen Ender, for introducing our students to this amazing program!

SHISD Hosts First Substitute Training Class of the Year
On any given day, teachers are absent due to illness, professional development, family leave, and jury duty. Without substitute teachers, these situations could cause major complications: instruction is interrupted, classes are doubled up, and preparation periods are lost. Without capable substitutes, teacher absences can have a domino effect that impacts the entire school.
Maintaining the quality and consistency of our education system on an ongoing basis means having a qualified professional in every classroom. Quality substitute teachers contribute to maintaining progress in the learning environment, thereby helping to promote student achievement.
Thank you to all who came for training! We appreciate you giving of your time to learn what it takes to be a substitute teacher at Spring Hill ISD.
