SLHS Community,
As you are well aware, education in the state of Colorado is in dire straits. We are facing another round of extreme budget cuts in JEFFCO to the tune of $70 million over the next two years due to the cuts at the state level. We faced a significant cut this past year and are feeling the effects of that cut on multiple levels from low morale, to overfilled plates, to the stress of new budget cuts on the horizon. We have an outstanding staff at SLHS that continues to go above and beyond every day to provide the most comprehensive and productive learning environment. As we enter new conversations about budget cuts and where those cuts will be made, staff is understandably concernced with the outcome.
Congratulations to our school newspaper as they recently attended the Colorado High School Press Association day and were honored with an All Colorado recognition. SLSH is one of only 12 schools in the entire state of Colorado to receive this presigeous recognition and the only JEFFCO school.
Second 6 week grading period ends on November 11th. This is a great time to encourage your student to utilize the STUDIO on off hours, Wednesday morning resource time and Study Hall.
I want to encourage all parents to get involved in the SLHS school community. We have a variety of organizations committed to the school. You can find more information about our parent committees to include GET(parent accountability), PTSA(Parent/Teacher), SLAB(Athletic Boosters) and others on our home website http://www.slhsgators.com/
