Congratulations to the SLHS Poms Team!

The SLHS poms team recently returned from their trip to the national competition in Florida.  I am extremely proud to inform you that not only did they return to the Swamp, but they brought back some serious hardware with them! 
Their incredible 4th place finish out of more than 30 teams in the JAZZ competition was a first for any poms team in the history of SLHS.  They not only completed that top 5 finish in the JAZZ competition, but they topped the competition off with a top 10 (9th place) finish in the Pom competition!  What an amazing feat and trip for our talented young ladies and their coaches-   SEE THEIR PICTURE TO THE RIGHT

TCAP

SLHS Community,

Thank you very much for your support during the past two days with our annual TCAP testing.  Its important to know that we had a 98% plus attendance rate, the best since I have been at SLHS.  That shows me the message we are sending to both our students and community is being heard and is of significance.  As noted in last week's blog, we are now using a "portfolio" of information to help determine college and career readiness.  This portfolio helps staff and counselors in conjunction with parents find the "right"courses for students and will be used to determine enrollment in honors, AP, and IB courses.  We are half way home with TCAP testing, but the assessments will continue once again next Tuesday and Wednesday-  See the schedule below- 

Monady March 11- Regular Period 1-8
Tuesday March 12- TCAP Testing-  7:45 Start Time
Wednesday March 13- TCAP Testing-  7:45 Start Time
Thursday March 14- Wednesday Block Day- Periods 1,3,5,7
Friday March 15- Thursday Block Day- Periods 2,4,6,8

** We will once again serve breakfast to all students both Tuesday and Wednesday starting at 7:00am in the cafeteria- Please help support you son or daughter and encourage healthy eating and a good nights sleep on Sunday and Monday night for the best results.
