Being a teen is hard enough, but when you find out that your dad is an Olympian god and monsters are trying to kill you, life becomes a whole lot harder. That plot, along with the theme of friendship and self-confidence is the main focus of SHS’s upcoming musical.

Seaside High School’s Drama Department proudly presents The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical on April 18, 19, 24, 25, and 26. Performances begin at 7 pm and doors open at 6:30 pm. Tickets may be purchased at the door. The cost for the performance is $10 for adults and $7 for seniors and students.

The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is adapted from the book The Lighting Thief by Rick Riordan, with the script by Joe Tracz, and the music and lyrics by Rob Rokicki.

Dear Parents, Guardians and Community Members,

We’re thrilled to invite you to be part of an inspiring Seaside High School tradition—Pacifica Project Presentation Day! This event showcases the hard work and heart of our graduating seniors as they present group projects focused on community service and real-world impact.

We are currently seeking volunteers to serve as panelists. Panelists will listen to student presentations and provide valuable feedback using a simple scoring form—no prior experience necessary, just a willingness to support our students!

🗓 When: Wednesday, May 28

🕔 Time: Begins with a welcome ceremony at 5:00 PM; presentations will conclude by 8:00 PM

📍 Where: Seaside Convention Center

Each panel will view 5–6 presentations, each lasting about 12–15 minutes. It’s a rewarding way to connect with our school community and see the incredible learning and leadership our students have developed.

If you're interested in volunteering, please complete the below form by Wednesday, May 14.

Hello Seaside School District,

This summer our team will once again be partnering with the annual Seaside Beach Volleyball Tournament. We will be looking for about 20 individuals that can work on the sand installing the poles, nets, lines this August then tearing them down at the end of the event.

We help support some of the other vendors which offers opportunities for individuals looking for customer service/sales roles (pay varies) during the event.

I appreciate you sharing with any staff, students (must be at least 17 years of age), or parents that might be interested in learning more for about this summer work opportunity. Please have them contact my team via phone/text at 503-735-1200.

Thank you for your assistance!

Through ParentVue you can:

• Register your student each school year

If you are driving yourself to school you need to stop by the Main Office and fill out a parking permit application so that you can receive your student parking permit sticker.

Student parking is only permitted on the East/Mountain side of the building. Students are not allowed to park in the staff parking lot on the ocean side of the building.

Office hours are Monday – Friday, 7:30 am – 4:30 pm.

Reminder when parking on our steep hill to curb your tires to help avoid any accidental rolling.

Please click the LINK here for bus stop information.

If you cannot find your bus stop or believe it is incorrect, please contact our transportation supervisor at 503-738-7150 or cpeters@seasidek12.org.

Please be at your bus stop 5 minutes earlier than the scheduled pick-up time. Bus times vary due to traffic levels. Bus route information is posted on our school website. See link above.

During the 2024-2025 school year we will again be using our bus badge program. This program increases the safety of our students on our buses by allowing us to know who is on the bus at all times and at which stop they exited.

Here's how it works. Student ID Bus Badge utilizes an ID attached to a student’s backpack or a lanyard which communicates with the Bus Pass scanner located on the bus. Students will scan the badge as students enter and exit the bus instead of having to take paper pencil attendance.

If you prefer to opt your bus rider out of this program please complete this form. It is important to note that students who opt-out of the electronic monitoring portion of the program will still need to show their Student ID Bus Pass to ride a district school bus. Their badge will just not have an active barcode to scan.

Student ID Bus Pass Electronic Monitoring Opt-out Form

Q: My student needs to ride the bus home with another student today - what should I do?

A: We must have requests in writing, preferably no later than noon, and are unable to accept permission over the phone. Instead you may:

Send your student with a note to give to the Main Office in the morning with the date, the name of the student your student will be riding with, and your contact information.

OR

You may email the request to sgiess@seasidek12.org or kbrenden@seasidek12.org If you need further assistance please call the main office at (503)738-5586.

If you will need to pick up your student before the school day ends, please send them in the morning with a note to the Main Office. That way we can have your student ready for pickup at the time you need them.

To avoid receiving the automated attendance call if your student is absent, please contact the Main Office as soon as possible at 503-738-5586

The Main Office hours are Monday – Friday 7:30 am – 4:30 pm.

If your student has medical issues or needs to take medications during the school day, we need to hear from you ASAP! The medications will need to be delivered to the main office by the parent/guardian (NOT the student). We will ask the parent to complete forms for each medication your student takes. Even if your student has medication they need to keep with them during the school day i.e.: inhaler or epi pen or if your student takes an over the counter medication ie: cough drops or Advil, we need to have a parent signed form on file.

For our 7th grade students: Please be aware that all 7th graders need a Tdap booster as part of their required immunizations to attend school. If your student has not yet had that booster, please contact your primary care provider for this immunization. Immunization exclusion day comes in mid February where all students must be up to date, or have an exemption in place, to avoid school exclusion.

Please contact the Main Office at (503) 738-5586 or the school nurse, Dani Nelson at dnelson@seasidek12.org

There are many ways a volunteer can help in our schools: reading groups, mentoring, assisting in a library or cafeteria, school beautification projects, coaching, field trips, and much more.

The McKinney-Vento (formerly Title X) Homeless Program does not just serve families living in shelters or cars but all students who do not have a fixed, regular, or adequate living situation. We need your help to identify these students!

When children are hungry, they aren't able to focus on the job of learning. The Food4Kids Seaside Program is available to help and is offered to students at Seaside Secondary School (grades 6-12) who do not have access to consistent meals on the weekends. Food is fuel, and we want to help your child be fueled and ready to learn each week!

The volunteers at Food4Kids provide a bag filled with food on the last school day before each weekend. Students will bring this food home from school on Fridays.

Seaside School District is once again able to provide a Free Breakfast and Lunch to ALL Preschool - 12th grade students. To view the menus for each school please click the link here:
