• Back to School Night–Wednesday, Aug 20,  4:30-6:30 pm at SMS

  • This is a drop-in event for the whole family of all grade level students–come for part or stay for the whole time. A free hotdog dinner will also be available (for the first 500 attendees).  Students can pick up their schedules, find their classrooms, meet the principal, and gather important information about school policies, bus routes, resources, sports, clubs, music, and activities at SMS.  We hope to see you there!

  • Track Practice will be from 4-5pm on the 20th! Please come and meet your coaches!!!

• 6th Grade Orientation–Mon, Aug 25,  9:30 am-3:15 pm at SMS

  • This is an all day event for your 6th grade student to be on time for and stay until the end.  New 6th grade students will “pack their backpack for middle school” as they meet new friends, get their school issued Chromebook, map their schedule, and find out what it means to be a Shahala Eagle.  Students should bring their backpack with them and lunch will be provided.  Doors open for this event at 9:20.  If you are interested in volunteering for this event, please email ellery.buckinghamseymour@evergreenps.org by Aug 21, 2025.  You must complete the district background check to volunteer.  

• First Day of School–Tues, Sept 2 at Shahala

• Picture Day– TBD at Shahala

Please note that next school year, we will continue to support and promote a culture of learning at SMS by minimizing distractions and maximizing instructional time.  This means that all electronics will need to be off and away during the school day next year per our district policy.  More information about the SMS/EPS District Telecommunications Policy will be provided in August.  

We wish you a safe and fun SUMMER!!
