Shadle Park HS Students, Families, and Community,

What a week it was to be a Highlander! Between our girls' varsity soccer team's thrilling shootout victory on Thursday and our varsity football team's overtime win against the #2 ranked team in the state on Friday, it was a successful week of competition for Shadle Park High School in the newly opened One Spokane Stadium! These moments of triumph not only demonstrate the talent and hard work of our student-athletes and coaches, but also reflect the unwavering support of our school community. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you for your continued partnership and unwavering support. Your encouragement and enthusiasm make a significant difference for our students, staff, and school.

Sincerely,

Chris Dunn

Principal, Shadle Park HS

STUDENT SERVICES UPDATES

As a reminder, we want to provide our students and families our points of emphasis within our school-wide expectations for the year. To view all student related policies and procedures, please view our Student Handbook.

Attendance:

Students are expected to be in class, on time, every day.
If a student is found out of class without a pass, they will be escorted back to class and marked TRUANT.
If a student refuses to go to class, or if the occurrence of truancy becomes habitual, students are subject to further corrective action and/or disciplinary consequences.
Upon a child’s fifth unexcused absence in a month, or upon a tenth unexcused absence in a year, the school district may file a truancy petition in juvenile court.
Teachers will address attendance issues in their class using the process outlined below.

Teacher/student individual conversation regarding the student’s attendance, and strategies to ensure they make it to class on time.
Teacher/family conversation regarding the student’s attendance, and strategies to ensure the student makes it to class on time.
Referral via MTSS App to the student office.
Students who are repeatedly tardy or truant to the same class or multiple classes throughout the week are subject to further corrective action and/or disciplinary consequences.

Cell Phones/Electronic Devices:

Cell phones/Electronic Devices will be put on silent and remain out of sight unless the teacher authorizes students to use their personal digital device as a learning tool during the lesson.
Teachers will indicate appropriate times for students to use their cell phones with a Red/Green sign in their room.
Students will refrain from using cell phones in the hallways during personal care breaks such as bathroom or water breaks.
Students who refuse to put the phone away when asked and/or demonstrate habitual, non-academic, phone use in class are subject to corrective action and/or disciplinary consequences.

Hall Passes:

Students must have teacher permission to leave the classroom and will get a hall pass from the teacher.
Passes can be used after the first 10 minutes and up to the last 10 minutes of the class period.
