Turn clocks ahead this weekend
March 5, 2023
Good evening,
I hope you fared well during this weekend’s weather and the reminder that Winter can still dish out in March. However, Spring is in the air and will feel even more so with next weekend’s daylight savings time and turning our clock’s forward. The increased daylight will certainly be welcome.
As we move forward into March students are reminded that management of classwork, tasks and responsibilities is essential to learning and academic success. Spring becomes a busy time of year and the management of school work with participation in extracurricular activities is critical. Functional use of the FLEX block is an important tool to support learning and should be consistently used to assist with classwork and overall academic progress. Effective management of academic work and extracurricular activities is also a strong support for managing anxiety and stress. Students are encouraged to develop a consistent routine with their FLEX block opportunities to assist with academic needs and school management to support their learning experience, progress and success.
Here’s to a good week. Go Spartans!
Best,
Mr. Lombardi

Student Parking / Winter driving / Student Drop Off & Pick Up
|
The past couple of weeks have reminded us that we are still in Winter and that it will be around for a bit longer. With that in mind, here are reminders for a safe and efficient traffic experience while driving at SHS: · Driving o Drivers please be extra cautious and aware and follow the posted and established parking and driving routes. Winter weather impacts road conditions and visibility and adhering to established routes and expectations will only help in maintaining an efficient and safe traffic process. · Student Drop Off & Pick Up o Please remember that student drop off and pick up is required in the designated Drop Off / Pick Up Area in the lower parking lot. The Drop Off / Pick Up Area consists of white lined marked space before and after the staircase. Please help with traffic flow by having your student exit or enter the car at any time your vehicle is stopped between the lines of the designated Drop Off / Pick Up Area. § Student drop off / pick up in the upper parking lot, closest to the school, is not a designated Drop Off / Pick Up Area and is only for those individuals who have a physical necessity. · Student Parking o Unfortunately we have reached our student parking capacity, there are no more available student parking spaces. At this time Student Parking is closed for any new drivers. o Non-registered drivers are not permitted to park on school grounds and any violators are subject to towing at the cost of the vehicle owner. |
