Shahala Families,
Happy Friday! We still have one more day of school on Monday, however, this will be our final update for 2025. We wish you a wonderful and restful winter break and look forward to seeing students recharged and ready to learn in 2026!
Please take a look below for updates and information on what is happening in the coming weeks.
Calendar Update
Due to the school closure on Wednesday, December 17th, the last day of school has been pushed back to Monday, June 22, 2026. You can find the updated calendar here. Please be aware that there may be additional changes to the calendar if there are more school closures due to inclement weather.
Lost and Found
Our lost and found is overflowing! If your student is missing anything, please have them check the Lost & Found, located by the “self service” table at the school entrance. Jackets, sweatshirts/sweaters, 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.
Reminder: Monday, December 22nd, is a regular school day. Winter break starts on Tuesday, December 23rd.
