Dear SHMS Families:
On Monday students took part in a Panther Pride lesson that reviewed expectations for staying safe, responsible, respectful, and kind in our hallways. Several topics were discussed with students including walking and not running in the halls, keeping electronic devices away, and maintaining a level one voice. Students were asked to complete a reflection at the end of the lesson. These lessons are designed to create a positive learning environment for all staff and students. I encourage you to discuss this lesson with your student(s).
Middle school conferences will be held on November 22nd and 23rd. The manner in which student conferences are scheduled and conducted at the middle school is different than the way conferences are scheduled at our elementary schools. Student conferences are scheduled by teams at each grade for students identified as needing additional support. Team leaders will email invitations to those families. Parents/guardians can also contact team leaders to request a conference during conference days or at any other time throughout the school year if your child is experiencing any difficulties. The dismissal time for November 22nd-November 24th will be 11:05 a.m.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Dr. Chris Matsanka
Parents of 8th Grade Athletes
Please note that high school sports always start the fall season weeks before classes begin. The first day of try-outs/practice for high school fall sports will be August 15, 2022. In addition, the PIAA shortened the number of pre-season practices for most teams which means soccer, volleyball, field hockey, football will now start playing games on 8/26. If your child is planning on playing a fall sport, please plan your vacations prior to August 15th.
