IMMUNIZATION & HEALTH CARE PLANS

In order for your student to be able to start the school year off without disruption, SPHS needs an updated health care plan and immunization chart. SPHS has sent messages to families that need to take care of these plans. Please check to ensure that you are up to date.

CEP SURVEY

CEP is the Community Eligibility Provision. It is the program Spokane Public Schools runs to offer free meals to all students at school for the 2023-2024 school year. SPS is able to participate in this program thanks to the passage of a bill in the Washington Legislature in 2022.

Although meals are free to all students this school year, filling out the Family Income Survey helps ensure school funding is maintained for essential programs and supports for our Shadle Park students. Students who qualify can get added benefits like waived sports & testing fees, community discounts, and many others. For more information, visit the CEP survey FAQ link.

If you did not do so during your launch conference, we would appreciate you filling out the CEP survey using the link below!

STUDENT VOLUNTEERS FOR FOOTBALL

Shadle Park Football is looking for some student support/help! Coach Mace (Room B305) is looking for some interested students to serve in the following roles on a consistent basis. Most all jobs are largely just on game nights, but Coach Mace will have you do some training before your first game to make sure it goes smoothly. All positions will receive SP Football gear and other benefits, plus get free humor from Coach Stalder and Mace.

No Prior football experience is required, but we are looking for students that can consistently attend games.

Contact Coach Mace (JamesMa@spokaneschools.org) or more information.

Video Specialist Manager: Helping record video during the games, learn various technical aspects of film and the uploading process, and support the replay support specialist.

STUDENT SERVICES UPDATES

As we enter the first days of classes for the 23-24 school year, we wanted to provide some reminders to our students and families regarding points of emphasis within our school-wide expectations. 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.
Students must use the bathroom on the same floor as their classroom or closest available bathroom.
Students failing to meet hall pass expectations are subject to corrective action and/or disciplinary consequences.

Bathrooms:

Bathrooms are NOT social spaces.
Students are expected to use the restroom then immediately return to class.
Stalls are limited to one student at a time.
Students are not to congregate in groups or loiter in the restrooms.
Students congregating in, loitering in, or vandalizing the restroom are subject to corrective action and/or disciplinary consequences.

Closed Campus:

Shadle Park High School is a closed campus.
Once students arrive on campus in the morning, they are to stay on campus for the entire school day unless they have checked out through the Student Office.
Students that need to access their cars during the day are required to obtain a pass from the Student Office or an administrator. By 3:00 p.m. all students must be off campus or under the supervision of an adult.

Single Point of Entry:

Any student entering the building after 8:00 a.m. must do so through the Public Office Entrance (park side of the school by the flagpole) which is SPHS’s Secured Single Point of Entry.
All other entrances will remain locked for the duration of the school day.
Students must present their current school ID to enter the building.
Students are NOT TO OPEN DOORS FOR ANYONE (Including friends or other students)
Any student found letting anyone in through other entrances will be subject to progressive discipline.
