Shahala Families,
It was wonderful to see everyone who was able to make it to our Open House on Tuesday evening. We had a great turnout and hope you all enjoyed your time meeting teachers and staff, walking through your student’s schedule and learning about all the activities Shahala has to offer. Please take a look below for important updates and information on what is happening in the coming weeks.
School Picture Re-takes
If you were not able to attend the Eagle Info & Picture Night, please know that picture retakes are scheduled for Friday, September 25th during the school day. Reminders will be sent out closer to the date. Student ID cards will be issued to students once their picture has been taken. Until then, students can find their student IDs/lunch numbers on Skyward or in the reference books in the front office.
Shahala Spirit Shirts
Shahala ASB has fundraised and purchased community shirts for ALL students to enhance belonging at our school. Each grade level will be receiving a shirt to wear for spirit days and school events. We also encourage students to wear them every Thursday for connection and comradery.
Class of 2031 (grade 8) will receive white shirts.
Class of 2032 (grade 7) will receive black shirts.
Class of 2033 (grade 6) will receive grey shirts.
The shirts are meant to be used for the entirety of middle school, so we are suggesting students request a size big enough to allow for growth. Only new incoming grade levels (and new students) will receive new shirts each year. Thank you to all those who helped with our ASB fundraiser last year to help make this possible!
