How Parents can Stay Involved in Middle and High School
Teens, Anxiety, and Depression
We need your help! It takes a village. Help us help your children!--We have two people and need more!
SHS is looking for parent volunteers to help with campus observation. The more eyes we have on campus, the safer and more of a deterrent it is for students to choose behavior that is not acceptable. If you are interested in donating your time, we could use you. We are looking for people to stand at gates and also be in the media center at lunch so we can open it for students.If you are interested please email Vice Principal, Nicholas Willis at nwillis@sandi.net. It takes a village. This is not you "busting kids"--that is our job! Think of it like neighborhood watchdog group! You just watch and report. We will give you a cool radio to use!
