Shadle Park HS Students, Families, and Community,

This past week we had a spectacular, albeit a bit cold, beginning to Spring Sports with hundreds of students turning out for track, baseball, soccer, golf, softball, and tennis! We also had stellar performances by our DECA students at SCDC in Bellevue!

Additionally, I want to take a moment and thank all the families who joined us for the incredible Highlander Dinner and Auction this past weekend. Your support and overwhelming generosity play a pivotal role in creating the experiences that we desire for all our students!

Lastly, I am thrilled to announce the launch of our March Madness Attendance Competition! Starting tomorrow, classes will begin competing for the highest attendance rate in their 4th period class. At the end of the competition, the classes with the highest attendance rates will have the chance to win Dutch Bros gift cards (details in the flyer below)!

Once again, thank you to everyone who contributes to making Shadle Park High School such an exceptional community. I am truly grateful for your partnership and support!

Sincerely,

Chris Dunn

Principal, Shadle Park HS

CLASS OF 2024 UPDATES

With graduation quickly approaching, it is more important than ever that you are passing ALL of your classes NOW and making progress on recovering any failed credits through ICAN. During the month of March, Mrs. Filippini will be individually calling seniors down to connect about missing credits and current classes. She will also be sending home graduation deficiency notices to ensure everyone is on the same page.

Seniors.... In order to participate in the graduation ceremony, you MUST have all necessary credits and graduation requirements MET prior to June 8th.

During the month of March, Seniors are strongly encouraged to do everything they can to be in good standing PRIOR to Spring Break (April 1-5). This means attending all classes every day on time, connecting with your teachers about missing assignments, going in for help before/after school for support (HUB or with specific teachers) AND communicating when you need help.

You have ONE MONTH until Spring Break to start working on your grades and improving your attendance. DO NOT wait until after Spring Break to get your grades to passing.

PowerSchool is the BEST way to monitor grades in REAL TIME. If you don't have access to PowerSchool, please contact the counseling office at 509-354-6704.
