SHS has had a nice “tradition” through the years with faculty and students participating in this seasonal celebration with fun and creative costumes.  Please keep in mind the following if you are choosing to be in costume.

A friendly reminder from SOAR and members of the SHS student body: 

The primary goals of school themed dress-up days are to celebrate Spartan pride and come together as a united, inclusive community. 

We ask students to be thoughtful and kind in their costume decisions for Monday. Costumes can be fun ways to engage with our community, but please do not wear anything that could be perceived as harmful or offensive to others. 

Also, face coverings or masks preventing identification are not permitted.  

Thank you Stoneham, and go Spartans!!!

We are seeking your assistance to help support a positive learning environment for all students and to help eliminate a consistent, if not growing morning attendance issue, specifically speaking, lateness / tardy, to school and the first period class which starts promptly at 8:15am.

We kindly ask that all students and parents / caregivers review morning routines and travel patterns to ensure a morning drop off that allows for students to be in their classrooms and seats by 8:15AM.  

Classes start and the educational process begins at 8:15AM, when students arrive late to class they interrupt the learning process and the learning of their peers.  Though this is not intentional it is not considerate or respectful to the planning of the teacher or for the students already in class.

We thank you and appreciate your attention to this matter and supporting a positive and supportive learning environment for all SHS students.
