The following is a message from the Counseling office regarding your Semester 2 class schedule:

 

The Schedule Change Request Form (online google form) will be available starting Jan. 13 for students to request a schedule change. Counselors will continually review the requests and be in touch with students via email regarding any changes.

 

Schedule changes will be made for the following reason:

Please be advised there are no changes for teacher or time of day preference for classes .

 

Students wanting to talk to a counselor regarding S2 schedules can do so January 27-29 on a walk-in basis.

 

Classes are still being balanced through January 27th, thus there may still be some changes to student schedules.

 

All students should access Powerschool to see their updated schedule on Monday, January 27th. If students need a paper copy of their schedule, they can stop in the Student Services Office.

Starting Friday, January 24 at 8:00 a.m. 2nd Semester Student Parking Permits will be available for sale ONLINE.

John Cariani's Love/Sick tracks nine couples through the pleasures and pitfalls of falling in love. The collection of short plays highlights the life cycle of a relationship: the meeting, the breaking up, the wedding, the realities of married life, the affair, the contemplation of divorce, the strains of parenthood, and the realization of failing and starting anew.

 

Performances of Love/Sick are January 17 and 18 at 7:00p.m. and January 19 at 2:00p.m.  

All performances will be held in the High School auditorium, located along the West 33rd Street entrance.  Tickets will be available at the door: free with SLPHS student ID, $5 for all other students and senior citizens, and $7 for adults. Purchase advance tickets online at https://slphslovesick.eventbrite.com or at the box office 30 minutes prior to the performance.
