Shahala Families,

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

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 in the main hall. 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.

Fall Conferences 

Shahala Middle School will be hosting Fall Conferences this year on October 20 & 22. These days are early release days for students to allow for time for teachers to conference with families. Students should attend conferences with their parents or guardians. Conferences will be held in the round which means that all teachers will be available during all conference times and parents and students can drop-in to talk to any and all of their current teachers.

Fall Conferences in the Round:  Drop-in Event

• October 20, from 2:00-4:00 pm

• October 22, from 2:00-4:00 pm

• October 22, from 5:00-7:00 pm

We look forward to seeing you at conferences and greatly appreciate your partnership in your student’s education!

*If you are not able to come during the conference times above, but you would like a focused, problem solving conference with a specific teacher(s), please email that teacher(s) to schedule a meeting time outside of our planned conference times (listed above).
