Families are an important part of our school team! 🤝
Each month, we will focus on a family strategy to partner with us in your child's success.
September: Consistent routines help students feel prepared and ready to learn.
Work together to establish regular times for:
🎒 Preparing backpacks and materials
🌙 Going to bed and waking up
📖 Reading or completing schoolwork
📱 Using technology
😊 Relaxing and spending time together
✅ Try this week: Create one designated place for backpacks, charging devices, and school materials.

Welcome to Warrior Wellness! 💙 💬 💛
Throughout the year, "Warrior Wellness: One Conversation at a Time" series will share practical tips from trusted SHS staff to help SHS families support their teens and stay connected to the people and resources here to help.
This month's Warrior Wellness post comes from SHS Counselors Mrs. Carbaugh, Mr. Gale, Mrs. Hartman, and Mrs. Francis, who work alongside students and families every day to support academic, social, and emotional success.
Building steady routines around sleep, homework, and extracurriculars helps your student feel grounded as expectations ramp up. With a few intentional habits early on, you can set your student up for a confident, balanced year ahead.
When schools and families work together, SHS becomes a place Where Kids Achieve! 💙 🤝 💛

We know you as parents want the very best academically for your student, and getting them to school consistently is the first step. Every day at school is another opportunity to learn, connect, and grow.

#EveryDayMatters #SPS5
Anatomy textbook pages brought to life! SHS Anatomy & Physiology students met Vicky, one of the five cadavers built into our favorite piece of technology, the cutting-edge Anatomage Table. This life-sized touch screen lets them virtually dissect real 3D structures, trace complex systems, and see exactly how organs fit together.🩻
AP Biology students created an experiment to answer the question: what type of environment do pill bugs prefer? Many trials were completed and fun was had!
Freshman biology classes worked collaboratively to save Sammy the Gummy Worm from his capsized boat.
📣 Calling all Golden Warrior Football Fans! 🏈
