June 2020 Newsletter
Dear SLHS Families,
It’s hard to believe that June is here and I’m writing the last newsletter for the 2019-2020 school year! As we approach the last few days of remote instruction, I encourage you to speak with your child about the importance of finishing the year strong. Wednesday, June 10th will be the last day of remote instruction. Grades are due on Friday, June 12th and will be published on SchoolTool on Monday, June 15th.
Senior Drive Thru/ Pick Up
The drive thru was a huge success for everyone involved. Class of 2020 will never be forgotten!
SLHS Pick Up/ Drop Off - Thursday, June 11th
Here is the schedule.......
1:30 - Future 9th graders will be parading by car through the HS campus. SLHS staff members will be out front to congratulate and cheer them on.
2:00-4:00 - Current HS students will be dropping off textbooks, library books, chromebooks, calculators & any other school materials. Students will also pick up their yearbooks, community school summer package and other gifts! Students will remain in their cars. Again, SLHS staff members will be out front to congratulate and cheer them on.
The rain date for both of these events will be Friday, June 12th (same time, same location).
Graduation
Graduates and their families will have an opportunity for a final walk through the halls of the high school before moving to the high school gymnasium where we will film the most personal part of graduation: the walk across the graduation stage, symbolizing the transition from high school senior to high school graduate.
This promises to be a formal, beautiful, traditional graduation ceremony. All aspects of graduation (speeches, receipt of diplomas, scholarship awards, musical tribute and senior slideshow) will be pre-recorded June 1st to 12th from 3 to 7 p.m. nightly.
Each senior and their family are scheduled for 15 minute increments to allow time for filming and family pictures. Please click HERE for the list of scheduled times. If the time doesn't work for your family, please email me to schedule a different one.
Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled filming appointment to allow time to take a final walk through the building. When you arrive at the high school, park in the lower lot and enter the building using door #2. You will be greeted and given further instructions. When seniors are done with their walk and pictures, please exit the building using door #4. We are pleased to provide an opportunity for families to continue the celebration outside at our picnic tables with light refreshments (weather permitting). Everyone will need to wear PPE (masks) and adhere to 6-foot social distancing from other families/staff while on campus.
Graduation Night - Friday, June 26th at 7:00pm
