Shahala Families,

Please take a look below for important updates and information on what is happening in the coming weeks.

School Picture Re-takes Next Week

Picture re-takes are scheduled for Friday, September 25th during the school day. You can pre-order photos here. If you are planning to exchange your student’s pictures from the first takes, you do not need to submit another order - simply send your student(s) with the first set of pictures and they can exchange them on picture day. Students who have not already received ID cards will get one 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 Clubs - Get Involved!

The following clubs are getting underway (it’s not too late to join!) but watch the space as we will have more offerings as the year progresses. To participate in any club, students must have an ASB card and complete the club registration process.

• Lego Club meets Thursdays from 4:10-5:05pm in room 504.

• Chess Club meets on Mondays from 4:10 - 5:05pm in room 504.

• Lacrosse Club is holding their first meeting after school on Tuesday, September 22nd! Meetings will be every Tuesday from 4:05 - 5:30pm in the Small Gym. 

Missing Items? Have Your Student Check the Lost & Found!

Our lost and found is already filling up! If your student is missing anything, please have them check the Lost & Found, located by the “self service” table at the school entrance. Clothing, backpacks, lunch bags, shoes and water bottles are kept out on display in the main hall while more fragile items and those of greater value (phones, watches, glasses, etc.) are kept secure in the front office. Lost and found items that are not claimed after an extended period of time will be donated.

East Coast Trip Information

Have you heard about the really great East Coast Trip that takes 8th graders to the East Coast in June? Are you interested in learning more? Come to our informational meeting Wednesday September 30th at 6pm in the Shahala Library. We will discuss the exciting places and experiences that await you in Washington DC, Pennsylvania, and New York City! There is no commitment involved if you come, we are just there to introduce you to the travel opportunity and answer any questions you may have.

You can see a PREVIOUS YEAR'S sample itinerary here. Please note, travel dates and activities will vary. Email shahalaeaglestravel@gmail.com with any questions you might have. 

Please remember, this is NOT a school sponsored trip.

World Language Proficiency Exam

Your student(s) heard a presentation recently about a great opportunity for 7th and 8th graders who are multilingual. Shahala will be offering and proctoring a World Language Proficiency Exam in late November or early December. Students who pass the test can earn high school credits in a second (or more) non-English language. In order to pass the test, students will need to show proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking the alternate language.
