Dear SHMS Families:

I have a few reminders as we end this very short week. The second marking period ends on Friday, January 27th. Students will change semester courses on Monday, January 30th. Report cards will be available via PowerSchool on Friday, February 3rd by the end of the school day.

During Tuesday’s in-service, teachers and staff took part in a training on emergency and safety procedures. Over the next two weeks, the SHMS administrative team and teachers will review procedures with students and conduct a lockdown drill. Time will be given for teachers to reflect and process the drill with students. Be on the lookout for more information.

Mark your calendars and get ready to purchase your tickets. The opening night of Shrek the Musical is on February 2nd at 7 p.m. The cast and crew have been working very hard. It is going to be a great show.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Dr. Chris Matsanka
