Dear Crusader Parents and Students,
Next week the faculty, staff, and administration begin our final preparations for welcoming our students back on campus. We continue to pray that our school year will begin with a sense of normalcy, however, we must be mindful of the COVID concerns within our school community, our country, and the world. If changes are necessary to keep our students and staff safe, you can rest assured, we will embrace those changes. I am confident that we will be supported by our Crusader community. Please continue to monitor your email for additional communications.
Please review the following important information regarding the school year and click on all appropriate links. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
NEW STUDENT/PARENT ORIENTATION
All freshmen, new upperclassmen students, and parents are invited to attend the New Student/Parent Orientation on Saturday, August 14. Please click on the link to register for Orientation Day! Arrive at 9:30 am to check-in, and sessions begin promptly at 10 am, with lunch served at 1:00 pm.
STUDENT PARKING
Student drivers will be required to park in designated areas. Juniors should park in the lot at the far end of campus, to the right of the main entrance. Seniors should park in the lot next to the Fine Arts Building.
REQUIRED BOOKS AND SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS
Some classes require students to purchase books and supplementary materials. Click here to purchase your student’s materials. Purchased items will be available in their classrooms during the first week of school. Please note your students’ ID number (found under student details in Tyler SIS, upper left-hand corner); you will need it for ordering books and supplementary materials. Please purchase these materials prior to the first day of classes on Aug 16, 2021.
MORNING DROP OFF AND AFTER-SCHOOL PICKUP
Students will enter at the main school entrance this year. Please pull up, as close as possible, to the circle in front of the main entrance for morning drop-off. For after-school pick-up, please park in a marked parking space in the main lot (do not park in the fire lane or front circle). Students will have a staggered release beginning at 2:40 p.m.
Please stay in your car when picking up your student from practices or after-school activities.
Thank you for following these simple procedures that will help keep all of our students safe.
BACKPACKS/LOCKERS
Students will be allowed to carry backpacks from class to class if they desire. Students will be assigned a locker so they will not need to carry all of their books, materials, coats, etc. throughout the day. Locker information is located in Tyler SIS under Student Information.
LUNCH
The Diocese is participating in the SSO program for Pandemic Feeding for the 2021-2022 school year. This means that every student is entitled to receive one free meal every day at school, as well as a free breakfast kit given out at lunch. Any extra items like second entrees or drinks and snacks will be an additional cost. These items will not be able to be charged, only purchased, if the student has money in their lunch accounts. Money can be deposited at K12paymentcenter.com and by sending cash or a check into school in an envelope with your student's name. Lunch menus are posted on the cafeteria page of the SHDHS website. Please see this link for the Diocesan lunch charge policy and free and reduced lunch applications and information on K12paymentcenter. We do ask that any families that may qualify for free and reduced lunch please apply as this can be a positive factor when calculating KEES Scholarship money for college. Should you have any questions, please contact Deb Miller, Cafeteria Manager, at [email protected].
BACK 2 SCHOOL BASH AND 2K RUN/WALK
Mark your calendars and plan to join us for the SHDHS Back 2 School Bash, Saturday, August 21, 6:00 pm - 10:00 pm, sponsored by our Family Engagement Council (FEC).
First, help us start the school year off on the right (or left) foot with the Back 2 School 2K Run/Walk beginning at 6:15 pm. It’s the same race you know and love, just a little shorter. The Back 2 School 2K will once again benefit scholarships at SHDHS. You can choose which scholarship you would like the proceeds from your entry fee to support during registration. If you live out of town, or can’t join us on campus for this year’s walk/run, no worries...you can still join us virtually!
The registration fee for the race is $20, and t-shirts are available for $15. Online registration for the on-campus and virtual run/walk is now open at www.shdhs.org/2k (day of registrations are being accepted beginning at 4:30 pm).
Afterward, stick around for great food, live music, fellowship, and fun with your fellow Crusaders. The Grateful Dads will entertain us from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm while enjoying food and drinks from La Torta Loca, Fabulous Funnel Cakes, and Braxton Brewing.
Our Back 2 School festivities are open to everyone, so we look forward to seeing all students, staff, parents, alumni, and community members. Please help us spread the word about this great event by sharing this information with your friends, family members, neighbors, and co-workers.
Volunteers are needed for the race. If you are interested in helping or have any questions, please contact Courtney Hoffer at [email protected].
