SENIORS!
Seniors, we are one third the way closer to graduation. We are very proud of your accomplishments, focus and resiliency. If you face challenges, know that your grade level team is here to support you and act as a sounding board if you need someone to talk things through. Strive to maintain a regular sleep and exercise schedule and eat a healthy diet for these are necessary for good mental and physical health. If you feel stressed, participate in activities to lower your anxiety like yoga, exercise, and meditation. We believe in you, Wolves. Keep up the good work and focus.
That cool crispness is in the air and Christmas songs are on the radio again. Now’s the time to begin planning and looking forward to what comes next. Happy Holiday wishes to you and your families as we wrap up 2020 and look forward to better things in 2021, like graduation!

High School & Beyond Plan
Log in via HelloID and complete the 12th grade lessons. Xello is a great way to figure out what your next steps should be, based on your goals and career pathway after high school. How well do you know yourself? Should you go to college, get a job, join the military or join an apprenticeship program? Teacher, A.I. specialist, Physio Therapist, Mechanic, Solar power engineer, Cyber crime stopper, Nurse... You may be surprised where your skills, talent, passion or hobbies lead you.
REMEMBER: ** Students who complete their HSBP before winter break will be entered into a drawing to win their choice of Prom Tickets or an Amazon gift card **
Request a copy of your transcript
Send it to yourself and see what it looks like. Senior Grades matter!
It is not uncommon for colleges to contact students for an explanation if they see a drop in grades or rigor of coursework.
Visit the high school website https://skhs.skschools.org/students/transcript_request and follow directions to create your account in Parchment. This is how you access and transfer your transcript to any college of further education or military recruiter. Now and in the future.
Be aware that final transcripts are withheld if you owe any money on your student account, if you are a student that transferred into SK, this also applies to fines from your previous high school. Clear up any debt as soon as you can before it becomes a serious issue for you.
Make sure to enter your SKHS student ID number and enter “2021” for the Grad/Leave Yr.
You will find a link to video tutorials and answers to FAQs online. If you still have questions, email: SKHSRegistrar@skschools.org
