WELCOME TO SANDPOINT HIGH SCHOOL

June, 2025

Dear Bulldog Students, Families, and Friends,

As we approach the final stretch of the 2024-2025 school year, I want to take a moment to celebrate our successes and share exciting updates from Sandpoint High School. This has been a remarkable year, and our students continue to inspire us with their achievements and dedication.

We are incredibly proud of our Aca Deca team who placed 2nd in the nation! SHS Track and Tennis teams captured individual titles for their outstanding performances at the recent state championships. From captivating band and choir concerts to stunning art displays, our fine arts students have showcased their creativity and talent. We look forward to tonight’s Drama Oscars—please join us in celebrating their hard work.

To our graduating seniors and their families, thank you for your unwavering support throughout this journey. Your grit and dedication have been inspiring. As our seniors prepare to step into their next chapter, their class motto, Thrive in 2025, reminds us all of their strength and potential.

Looking Ahead: Enrollment and Flex Fridays

If your student will be returning to SHS next year, please complete the enrollment verification process. We will be releasing schedules once we have received your updated information and ensure their spot is secured for the fall.

Starting in October 2025, we are introducing Flex Fridays! Eligible students have the opportunity for flexible learning days 1-2 times per month by meeting these criteria:

• Academic Standing: 75% or higher in all classes.

• Attendance: Better than 90% attendance with fewer than three tardies per week.

• Behavior: No office referrals.

• Parent Permission: Signed approval required.

Flex Fridays will provide on track students the opportunity to extend learning and allow for independent study time outside the SHS halls. A regular early-release Friday schedule with additional supports for intervention, college prep, or students needing access to their teachers will be provided. We are excited to recognize students’ hard work and responsibility with increased flexibility to pursue interests within our community. Please see the calendar and links below outlining these dates.

At SHS, our mission is to inspire a culture of learning that inspires students to reach their full potential. Thank you for trusting us to provide a rigorous, supportive, and challenging education. If you have any questions or input, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, our administrative team, counselors, or teachers.

As we finish this school year strong, we look forward to an even brighter 2025-2026 school year together.

With Bulldog Pride,

Principal Jacki Crossingham
