Sentinel Snapshot

During Finals Week, we will hold a Regular Bell Schedule during the week, but certain periods will be assigned "Testing Time."

Students will be released at 11:05 AM on January 26th to allow teachers to finalize grades from semester 1 and prep for the start of Semester 2.

Over the next few weeks, Wednesday's Advisory/WIN Schedule will be different as we enter finals and the second semester. 11th-grade Running Start Students must attend the Entire Advisory period on the days for registration if they do not have classes at Running Start.

January 24th - ADVISORY: No WIN - Study for Finals

January 31st - ADVISORY: No WIN - Registration (11th Grade Running Start Students Need to Attend)

February 7th - ADVISORY: No WIN - Registration (11th Grade Running Start Students Need to Attend)

February 14th - ADVISORY: No WIN - Registration (11th Grade Running Start Students Need to Attend)

The last day to add or drop a class without receiving an F in a course is 10 days after the first day of school/semester. A reminder that we do not allow course changes to a students schedule unless the student is missing a class, or graduation requirement has been missed. Student schedule changes will not be made for the following reasons: lunch requests, teacher preference, or to be with friends.

Beginning Monday, January 8, 2024, we began enforcing new Entry and Exit Procedures to help ensure the safety of our building. Thank you to all the students and visitors who come and go throughout the day to help us follow this.

Anyone who enters or exits the building must:

1. Have a Photo ID. Photo ID could include a student's SHS ID card or an adult driver's license.
2. Use the Front Door of the School only. The East Door will no longer be accessible to enter and exit between 7:35 AM and 2:05 PM.
3. Running Start Students must Check In when they arrive and Check Out when they leave every day.
1. Check-In and Check-Out will be located at the Reception Desk for now.

Spring Quarter registration at Pierce begins February 5th. This means, it’s time to schedule your Spring EVF appointment with your counselor.

In order to receive your Spring Quarter EVF, you must make an appointment with your counselor. This meeting is in person.

Counselors are dedicating time to complete Spring EVFs for Running Start students from January 16 - January 31 for Mr. Johnson and January 22 - February 2 for Mr. Brugman.

Mr. Johnson will be unavailable to complete EVFs from February 1-February 7.

Please, do your best to schedule your EVF appointment during that EVF window. After the EVF window closes, EVF appointments will not be a priority.

Winter Session for Running Start started on 1/3/2024. We are asking all Running Start students to bring a printed copy of your Running Start Class Schedule to SHS. You can drop it off with Mrs. Carla at the Reception Desk.

A reminder that school starts at 7:35 AM. Its expected that students are in class ready to learn at 7:35 AM. Students who arrive late to the school building, need to check in to the Attendance Office and get a Tardy Slip.

Parents/Guardians:

If students need to leave early during the school day for an appointment. Please call the Attendance Line in the morning with the time you want your student to leave.

Students will receive an Early Dismissal slip to their classroom and they will meet you @ Attendance Office at the time specified. This will help students be ready to go when you arrive.

Students MUST sign out with the Attendance Office when they leave the building early.

Attendance Line: 253 983-2303

All students now have a School ID card. Students are required to have these on them during the school day. Any student who enters the building after the start of the school day is REQUIRED to show their Student ID/ASB Card when entering the building and must check in with the Attendance Office. This includes all Running Start Students who come onto campus. A picture of the Current Student ID Card on the student's phone is acceptable. This helps make sure we know who is on campus.

If you have any concerns or questions about your students academics or classes, please reach out to their teachers first. Most questions and concerns can be answered by the teacher best. You can find their email on on SHS Staff Directory or directly though Parent Square.
