APRIL 19TH Skyward Updates

As you know, safety and security are our top priorities — that includes securing digital information.
In an effort to further increase network security for our families and students, our Skyward Application (used for grades, attendance, etc.) is moving to a stronger password requirement.
Starting on Wednesday, April 19th, families who use Skyward will be asked to create a new, more secure password when they log in. Similarly, students will move to a more robust password as well.
APRIL 21ST - ADVISORY
We will have an advisory on Friday, April 21st, at 9:28 a.m.
Advisory is held at the end of second period.
REMINDER: DANGERS OF VAPING

About 14% of U.S. high-school students and 3.3% of middle schoolers currently vape as of 2021, and the FDA and U.S. Surgeon General have declared it an epidemic. Research shows that vaping is dangerous, highly addictive, and harmful to a child’s health and brain development.
Frighteningly, vaping devices can also be manipulated and refilled with dangerous illicit substances, many of which can be harmful or deadly if used by an unsuspecting child. We are aware of the use of vaping devices in our community that have been laced with illegal drugs.
It is critical for families to talk with their children about the dangers of vaping and substance use. Our school administrators actively, in cooperation with our School Resource Officer, investigate and issue appropriate discipline and education on the dangers of vaping devices.
Ensuring the safety of students and staff requires an ongoing strong commitment to cooperation with our Stanwood-Camano families. As always, health and safety are our top priorities.
Find facts, information, and tips on how to talk with your teen about vaping at the American Lung Association website.
REMINDER: SUMMER SCHOOL OPPORTUNITY
We will offer summer school in August at our school. If students failed a course, they are eligible for summer school. The program will be free this summer.
