2012 SHS SHOWCASE TALENT SHOW
Parents, grandparents and siblings are invited to attend the annual Talent Show tomorrow from 12-1pm in the gym. Students will be eating "picnic style" on the floor in their family groups. Seventh and eighth grade students are encouraged to bring a blanket upon which their "family members" can sit. Please send a lunch with your child on Friday that can be easily eaten while sitting on the floor, and for the safety of all of our students NO NUTS OR PEANUTS are allowed in the lunches this Friday.
We have over 20 new and exciting acts this year and all parents are encouraged to attend. The Playmaker board will also be unveiling the upcoming Spring Musical for 2013!
***Talent Show Participants-please note that you should have received an e-mail notification through your supervising parent for this Friday's festivities. If you have not been notified please e-mail Mrs. Douglass immediately.
Vacation Homework Policy
As the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday grows closer, we have received a few requests from families who are leaving early to put together homework for their students to complete while they are gone. In general, all students are expected to complete to work on the following:
- Finish or complete the next Spelling (K-5)/Wordly Wise (MS) unit
- XtraMath (K-5)/Go onto the next unit in the Math book (6-8)
- Keep a daily journal; the focus should be on writing descriptive sentences/paragraphs about the things you are doing.
- Finish/Complete the next Lead 21 packet, or read a book for a Book Report; if appropriate, start the Book Report
- Any long-term reports they were working on when they left
Students/families should contact their child's teacher(s) as soon as possible about an absence due to a vacation to find out if there are any grade level specific assignments to be completed, or information needed to complete the assignments above. As with any absence, we ask that the student check in with their teacher(s) upon their return to review what assignments still need to be completed and discuss a time frame for their completion.

Parent Survey
As a part of our accreditation preparation you will be seeing a few more surveys this year than normal. Please take a few minutes to complete the School Parent Accreditation Survey.
Your feedback is extremely important in the process of our self-improvement. After this survey, your will receive a follow-up survey later in the year to assess how well we are responding to your feedback.

Annual Parish Pledge
All school families who are receiving the "Contributing Parishioner" tuition rate are required to have an annual parish pledge on file and to make regular contributions toward the fulfillment of their pledge. Please remember to fill out your new pledge card for the 2013 calendar year and submit it to the parish office right away. Your parish pledge helps to support all of the ministries, programs and personnel of the parish, including our school. - Mr. Burroughs
"Hot Topic" Discussion Forums
Coming up soon are some evening discussion forums with the school counselor, hosted by Kari Boyd and Parents Club. Specific dates, time and location are TBD. These discussion nights are mainly to provide information and spread awareness on various "hot topics" throughout grade level groups. These beneficial discussion nights will offer parents an opportunity to learn, ask questions, and chat with other parents in their child's grade level.
**Please help select books/topics by completing this survey!
Scrip is on Hiatus
In case you missed the special bulletin sent on Monday, the scrip program is currently on a hiatus as we transfer over to an online system. Monthly orders will still be filled as well as orders placed prior to Monday. New orders will not be filled next week as usual, but as soon as we have the new system up and running. - Mr. Burroughs
Policy for Student Medications at School
SHS follows WA State code that all student medications must have a completed Authorization for Medication Form signed by both the child's physician and parent.
- This policy applies to both prescription and all over the counter medications such as anti-histamines, cough drops Tylenol etc.
- The completed Authorization for Medication Form and medications must be turned into the health room where they will be kept and administered by staff only.
- There is an exception when it comes to inhalers. WA State permits inhalers to be carried and self-administered by a student if both the physician and parent give permission on the Authorization for Medication Form. Inhalers must have a prescription label affixed.
If you have any questions, please email Ann Marie Thompson.
