Family Vacations
In the event that students will be absent for 3 or more consecutive days for non-medical reasons,
parents are requested to submit a written notification and explanation to the main office one week prior to the absence
.
SBA requires that all students attend school in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Parents are also expected to abide
according to Act 39, the law that
monitors compulsory attendance at school
, and tracks and reports on student truancy from school. I appreciate your cooperation in notifying not only the teachers, but also the main office for student absences.

Counseling & College Services
May 1 - National College Decision Day
To celebrate this day, we request that all Seniors wear a t-shirt or sweatshirt from the school they will be attending on Wednesday, May 1. College gear should be worn over uniforms.
SBA Parent Brag Sheets
Junior Parents should have received a "Brag Sheet" from the Counseling Office. The information that you provide will be a great help for Counselors to refer to when writing College recommendation letters for your daughter. If you haven't sent yours in yet, click the link below for your brag sheet.
Seniors have been asked to bring college acceptance and scholarship letters to the Counseling Office so that we can include this information in the program booklet for Graduation. We have posted the current lists for Seniors to review and confirm. If information is incorrect or missing, students are asked to come to the Counseling Office with that information. If we do not have the college letter or email, we will be unable to include it in the Graduation program.
In addition, when your daughter has made her decision, please be sure she indicates on her Naviance account.
Scholarships on Naviance
Please check out these and many other scholarships listed on Naviance: Alphonso Deal Scholarship (Criminal Justice), B. Davis Scholarship (Juniors & Seniors), Cameron Impact Scholarship (Juniors), Aspiring PA Attorneys Scholarship, Leon Bradley Scholarship (minority students), Thomas Dickson (entrepreneurship).
