Halloween is coming up on 10/31/22
October 23, 2022
Hello,
I hope this message finds you well. It was a wonderful Fall weekend before what looks like a wet start to the week ahead. Please plan your morning routine accordingly as wet weather can always impact driving conditions and travel time.
Reminder that this Friday is a half day dismissal at 12:15 for all SPS students. We also enter the final two week of the grading quarter. Teachers are updating PS and students should review their portals to gauge their academic progress in each class and speak with their teacher to address any concerns. Students should schedule FLEX time with their teacher for any needed academic support or work completion.
Please continue to be cautious and patient when driving on school grounds and to follow all posted traffic routes. Please keep the driving aisles between the faculty and student parking rows clear and free of any cars waiting for student pick up. We thank you for your continued cooperation.
Have a great week!
Go Spartans!
