Stanwood High School

Every student in the Stanwood-Camano School District is empowered to learn in an inclusive setting and is prepared for the future of their choice.

Stanwood Spartans are united in cultivating character, modeling respect, teaching leadership and connecting to community.

If you have NOT yet done so, the deadline to order your cap and gown for pickup on the SHS delivery day is March 1, 2024.

To order go to: https://www.jostens.com/ and Shop: Stanwood High School.

Delivery date and time TBA soon!

There has been an increase in tardies, especially to 1st period daily. Please help encourage your student to arrive at school on time. The expectation is for students to be in class when the second bell rings at 7:40 am. Thank you for being so supportive in this area.

Stanwood High School is a closed campus. Students are to remain on campus from the start of the school day until the final bell. Lunchtime is an on-campus activity. A student shall not leave the school campus during the school day unless excused by a parent/guardian through the school office.

Students will not be excused for daily "off-campus" privileges or activities such as leaving the campus for lunch, eating lunch in private vehicles, etc.

Here is the district procedure that states this process. Please review page 4 of 5 titled "Leaving a Closed Campus School During School Hours."

The North Gym and the Library are open during both lunches. Food and drinks are not allowed in either location. Students are not permitted in hallways during lunch as classes are in session.

Dear Parents and Guardians -

If someone other than the listed Parent or Guardian needs to pick up your student during school hours, "Day Of" permission is needed. Please make sure that you call the Office at 360-629-1300, send an email to Attendance, or send in a note that morning.

"Day Of" permission is needed for those designated as Emergency Contacts as well.

We cannot release a student without "Day Of" permission to anyone other than a listed Parent or Guardian. Thank you for your assistance in keeping our students safe!

The front office will not accept payments from students during class time. Payments will be accepted before and after school and during lunches.

Running Start and Lincoln High students, payment will be accepted before class or before departing campus.

Parents/Guardians may pay any time during the day (the register is closed between 12:30 and 1:15 pm). Parents/Guardians can pay online at any time by selecting the Online Payments button on our webpage. Thank you!

State officials are asking students, families, educators, and community partners to help them choose an online platform to manage the High School and Beyond Plan (HSBP) graduation requirement.

WESCO Spectator Guidelines & Sportsmanship Code

The essential elements of character-building and ethics in interscholastic athletics are embodied in the concept of seven core principles: sportsmanship, discipline, leadership, teamwork, responsibility, dedication, and respect. To demonstrate sportsmanship in the stands, we ask all spectators to adhere to these 5 basic guidelines:

• I will appreciate all good plays and players, whether they compete for my team or my opponent.
• I will remember that school athletics are an extension of the classroom and that learning is taking place.
• I will be positive and use respectful language towards players, coaches, officials, and other spectators.
• I will respect the abilities and sensitivities of our opponents and officials, regardless of the outcome of the contest.
• I will remember that my actions reflect on others, including students, school, and the community.

Please join us for an important community safety forum.

Fentanyl Awareness Night will teach students, families, and the community what you need to know about this danger that’s now laced into most street drugs.

This synthetic opioid is being pressed into fake pills — and it’s 50x more potent than heroin. A lethal dose can be only 2 milligrams.

Local criminals are marketing these pills to our children.

Join us at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 12, at Stanwood High School to hear from local, state, and federal experts about how to protect yourself and your family. This free community forum is open to everyone.
