We are so excited about the post season for our winter sports teams! Both boys and girls basketball teams hosted first round games right here in the swamp over the past two nights and won both games. The boys are now headed to Grandview for a 7pm Friday night game and the girls will be headed to Highlands Ranch HS for a Saturday evening game with a start time TBD. Those wins are historical at SLHS as it was the boys' programs first playoff win in school history and the first time both teams have not only hosted a first round game, but won.
Our hockey team starts their post season run this Friday as they face Liberty for a 4:30 game at the APEX center in Arvada. A win on Friday would most likely match them up with cross county rivals Ralston Valley as that game would be played on Saturday night with time TBD at the APEX.
GO GET EM GATORS!!!

ALL ACTIVITES FOR Friday February 17th are a GO-
SLHS Community,
After yesterday's building threat and evacuation all building activities/plans for today Friday February 17th and moving forward. We are working with district leadership on a decision regarding the cancellation of parent/teacher conferences. I will get something out to the community early next week.
I want to extend a big thank you to our staff, student, and community efforts during this emergency and how it was handled. We received great remarks from emergency personnel on your attitude, compliance, and overall attention to detail.
Three very big events this evening-
Girls basketball vs. Pomona at SLHS- Varsity 5:30 (if you pay to attend the girls game, your stamp will get
you into the boys game @ Pomona as well)
Boys basketball vs. Pomona @ Pomona- Varisty 7:00
Boys Varsity Ice Hockey- vs. Ralston Valley- @ the Promenade- 7:15pm
Thank you....

Understanding State Assessments
Parents and community,
As we approach our annual State assessment window, I wanted to shed some light on the assessments that both 9th and 10th grade students will take. Through federal mandates, states are required to implement state run assessments for progress monitoring. As you know the Colorado state assessment for years has been called the CSAP (Colorado Student Assessment Program). This year thet state implemented new standards and therefore our new assessment is called TCAP (Transitional Colorado Assessment Program). Assessments are designed to assess students on the material learned in classes as courses follow the state curriculum/standards. The new TCAP will assess any and previous standards that are on the new adopted state standards. These assessments are VERY important to schools as we receive a grade/rating based on student results. As a staff we work dilligently to help students understand and respect the assessment as a progress tool. I am asking your dilligence in both supporting the TCAP program and encouraging your son or daughter to take this assessment seriously to provide staff an understanding of how SLHS students are performing based on their instruction. I do appreciate this community tremendously and know we will continue our partnership toward excellence.
