Stanwood High School

As we approach the final one and a half days of this school year, it's a reminder of how time flies when we're engaged in learning and having fun. It's been a privilege to serve as your Principal this year, and I'm already looking forward to the next. As we head into summer, I encourage you to take time to relax, pursue your favorite activities, and connect with friends and family.

SHS's main office will operate normally on June 17th and 18th. On June 20th and June 21st, the main office will be open from 8 am to 2 pm. Starting on June 24th, the main office will be closed for the summer until August 8th. When the main office reopens on August 8th, the hours of operation will be 8 am-2 pm until the end of August.

Diplomas can be picked up on Monday, July 8th, and Tuesday, July 9th, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in The counseling office.

This will be the last Family Newsletter until late August. Have a great summer!

Sincerely,

Mr. Washington

Principal

Seniors MUST give verbal or written permission for someone other than themselves to pick up their diploma.
