Greetings,
As we enter our first full week of classes school life is ramping up. Athletic competition began last week, clubs are meeting and academic rigor and expectations will pick up. This week we welcome parents and caregivers to our annual Back to School Night.
On Back To School Night we welcome you to experience their student’s academic schedule, meet their teachers and hear information regarding courses to assist you with your role in supporting your student’s education. This night is for course and teacher information only, questions or concerns for individual student’s should be addressed through an email to the teacher for a private conversation and / or meeting. Back to School Night will start promptly at 6:30pm in the SHS Auditorium. Please bring a copy or a photo of your student’s academic schedule.
As we enter our first week it is essential to establish early routines and habits to support learning and academic success. Students are expected to utilize FLEX block opportunities to support their learning. Students should begin speaking with their teachers about any academic questions or concerns and schedule FLEX time as needed.
Here’s to a good week, GO SPARTANS!
Best,
Mr. Lombardi

Driving Routes / Parking
The past two weeks of school has allowed us all to learn and experience our new driving and parking arrangements and patterns. Considering our challenges, we are very happy with the overall flow and movement of traffic. The biggest reason for our success is the adherence to our established routes and overall patience of our student and parent / caregiver drivers; Thank you! It is in this manner that will allow us to safely and efficiently manage complications brought on by the construction process. With this in mind, all drivers, whether picking up or dropping off should not line up in any of the parking aisle lanes, this only prohibits cars from leaving and further complicates the process. Adherence and patience will get us through! Thank you |
