From 5th Grade:

What is the possibility of SHS providing an extra aide (and/or a separate math resource teacher for 5-8 math) as well as more options for parents to communicate their math needs/concerns?

Also, has SHS thought about forming an after school ‘math club’ for students that may need extra support with math?

A couple of parents are requesting free dress or one volunteer hour for those who are donating turkeys tomorrow.

From 7th Grade

Kevin Finn is an amazing member of faculty and staff!  We are lucky to have him!

Kristin
“Love everything that the school has done to keep the kids on track despite all the surges and cases with Covid!  Really appreciate all that Mr Finn does for our community in this respect and others.  Really happy with the whole vibe around campus in general. “

I believe there is a reason why we got to 100% Angel Fund participation and it wasn't just because of an In 'N Out party! The entire SHS faculty, in particular Marie, have done an incredible job of providing the children with a sense of normalcy in an ever-changing and challenging world, and parents are picking up on that. The academics remain strong and the children haven't missed a beat in terms of their education and social development.

The addition of Amanda Throckmorton the school counsellor has been a positive one. My son has met with her a few times as he was having trouble with the transitions of the past year for our family, and she has been a great resource in helping him navigate his way through these changes.

Both boys come home every day and say they have had a good day at school and that they have great friends, and as a parent that is really the only

thing that matters.
