Fall 2022

Fall 2022

Good Evening,

 

I hope that you have all had a good weekend and enjoyed the cooler Fall weather.  We enter the last week of September and near the midpoint of the 1st grading quarter.  Academics are in full swing with course work and assessments.  

 

This past Friday, students registered for this week’s FLEX block opportunities to meet with classroom teachers.  Our hope is that students will develop a supportive routine utilizing FLEX block to successfully manage their academic course workload.   Our students are active in a wide range of fun and exciting extracurricular activities that can easily take up valuable free time.  The establishment of consistent and meaningful use of the FLEX block to complete schoolwork or to address any academic needs is an essential part of a student’s overall management of school life and the development of important life skills.

 

A friendly reminder that to ensure an efficient and safe student drop off and pick up it is essential to follow the established traffic and parking patterns.  We ask that you continue to do your part and be part of our solution for parking lot safety and efficiency. Thank you!

 

Have a great week!  Go Spartans!

SHS 2024 / The new High School

Thinking back to our campus on the day the ground for the project  was broken on Wednesday, June 15 and seeing how our campus is today is remarkable.  The changes are daily and one can only anticipate what is next.  It is an amazing project and one that hopefully brings pride and excitement for SHS and Stoneham.  Here are some photos to help highlight how far the project has come and a glimpse of  next stages of the building process:

Driving Routes / Parking

Please refrain from picking up or dropping off students in the parking aisle traffic lanes.  Drop off and pick up of students is to only occur in the designated drop off / pick up area.  

 

Adherence and patience will get us through!  Thank you
