🔄 Looking Ahead: Flex Fridays

We’re excited to introduce Flex Fridays starting in October 2025! This new option provides students with flexible learning opportunities—whether that’s independent study, enrichment activities, or academic support one-two  times per month.

To be eligible, students must meet the following criteria:

• Grades: 75% or higher in all classes

• Attendance: More than 90% attendance and fewer than three tardies per week

• Behavior: No office referrals

• Parent Permission: Signed approval form required
  
  

Flex Fridays are designed to recognize and support students who demonstrate responsibility and academic success. More details will be shared in the August newsletter.

At SHS, our mission is to inspire a culture of learning where every student can reach their full potential. Thank you for partnering with us as we work to create a rigorous, supportive, and meaningful high school experience for your student.

If you ever have questions or ideas, please feel free to reach out to me, a member of our administrative team, our counselors, or your student’s teachers. We are here for you.

Here’s to a fantastic 2025–2026 school year!

With Bulldog Pride,
