Greetings SHES Families,

Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! We have had a wonderful start to our school year. The hard working SHES staff have worked many hours preparing their classrooms and lesson plans for all of our Thunderbolts. It was so nice to see so many familiar faces at Sneak Peek, along with meeting some new families to SHES.

I am looking forward to a wonderful school year, partnering with you to ensure our students have an amazing school year.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. I can be reached at

785-730-5345 or at hayss@usd450.net.

Sincerely,

Shawnie Hays, Principal

Thunderbolt Community,

My name is Andrew Singleton and I am the new Dean of Students at Shawnee Heights Elementary! It was great meeting so many of you at our Sneak Peeks.

When school started I wanted to spend my time in our classrooms. While in our classrooms I saw so many great things happening! I also really enjoyed meeting all of our Thunderbolt students.

If you have any questions, or need anything else don’t hesitate to reach out by email, or phone.

Thank you for your support,

Andrew Singleton

Over the past 6 months our SHES Site Council has worked diligently on a variety of exciting projects. One of the projects we are ready to unveil is a school directory that the SHES staff will be able to use to meet a variety of needs, which will improve your child’s experience at school. The goal of this platform is to help communicate what each of us could potentially provide at our convenience to our SHES students and classes. Whether it's helping behind the scenes, supporting staff, volunteering time, or extending your use of resources for educational opportunities; this platform will be used to help the Thunderbolt school community get connected. We look forward to connecting with you!

We are asking for your help to be a part of the school directory initiative. Please share your interests and talents by completing this survey: https://forms.gle/Rmuqy2rpRjNer2Gg7

Thank you for helping make SHES an even better place for our children to go to school!

Stay tuned for future updates regarding projects the Site Council is working on.

All the best,

The SHES Site Council

Our first day of PD for our certified staff had Teambuilding on the agenda. Staff went around the community taking selfies and giving out cards with a miniature candy, thanking our community for being a part of our school. It sure looks like they enjoyed themselves! Such a fun way to get our school year started.
