Week of January 11th Back to Hybrid Week A
Scituate High Back to Hybrid Model Jan. 11th
Scituate High School will return to our in-person hybrid model on Monday, January 11th beginning with Group A.
When we return to our hybrid plan on January 11th we are asking that students and families continue to make responsible decisions during this pandemic. Students are reminded to wear appropriate face masks, stay six feet apart, and stay home and get tested if you are experiencing any symptoms. In-person students should have a parent/guardian complete an attestation form each day when students are going into the building.
We are hopeful that with 2021 comes a chance to bring some normalcy back to the halls of Scituate High School, our students, families, as well as with our staff. Students, we know this school year is tough to say the least. We need you to commit to your learning and finish the second half of this year stronger than ever. All we can ask is that everyone tries their best.
Thank you all for everything that you do to support student learning, growth, and safety!
Quarter 2 and Semester 1 Ends Feb. 3rd

School Pictures Update Thursday, Jan. 21st and Wednesday, Jan. 27th
Notes from Gene Hutnak: Picture retakes or missed picture days:
Gene will ask that the underclass come down first for makeups/retakes and then the seniors that are in that week to come down last. There are approximately 99 underclass we didn't catch first time around and 43 seniors.
The seniors will be sent home a proof sheet so that they can view and order.
Thursday, January 21st for Group B and Wednesday January 27th for Group A. We will be ready for 8 am and will go until approximately 11 am in the cafeteria.
Students can pick up a picture form in the HS office if they wish to order.
There is still a stack of photos in the HS office from students who have not yet picked them up.
Congratulations SHS Music Department

Thank you Spartan Football Team!
We want to send out most sincere gratitude to the Spartan families who donated these wonderful toys. We would also like to thank our partners Granite Farm Restaurant & Pizza, Charming Treasures Gift Shop, and Brigido’s Fresh Market.
Given the environment this Christmas season, we consider this a huge success and our student-athletes were so proud to be part of this annual event for the kids.
We donated three huge boxes of toys to be added to the collection at Cardi’s Furniture for the US Marines’ Toys for Tots national toy drive.
Thank you again to our SHS families for your selfless gifts and for helping make this event a rewarding experience for all students involved this year.
