Students Get Ready to Dissect

Have you been absent from school for several days since the start of school? Do you need to check on your attendance? Remember, students who miss more than 10 days of school, unexcused, for a full year class and more than 5 days, unexcused, for a semester class will lose credit for their class. If you have been absent, Saturday School is available. Saturday School runs from 8:00 am - 12:00 pm on a couple Saturdays each month. Saturday School is available for students who need to buy back days of attendance so that students do not lose credit for their classes. Students should speak to their grade level Dean for more information and to sign up.

Grade Level Deans:

• Mr. David Hiltz, Grades 9 and 11
• Ms. Rachelle Russo, Grades 10 and 12

SHS students who stay after school for extra help or to work with a teacher, use the Learning Commons, and/or participate in a club or activity, may ride the Late Bus.
