Fall Play- Midsummer Night's Dream-

Wow what an amazing opening night for our SLHS theater students as they presented the Fall play "A Midsummer Night's Dream"-  It was truly a hit and very entertaining.  The students were tremendous and the costumes/set were truly stunning-  I encourage any to make their way to one of the next two performances Friday and Saturday both starting at 7pm-

School Spirit is Alive and Well

Its been a tremendous start to the new school year and Im so proud to see our students engaged, excited and full of school spirit.  At this week's volleyball game the students had a safari themed night as they supported the girls volleyball team Monday night.  Thank you students and community for making this a great place to lead!  

Raptor System-  Our new Raptor system is up and running and making a difference in attendance and tardies in our building.  Students are being mindful of the expectations and the one minute warning bell has really helped students be more accountable for tardies.  Our staff has seen a significant improvement already in the amount of tardies per class thus improving the learning atmosphere as class can begin on time without disruptions.  

Congratulations to Language Arts/Drama teacher Elizabeth Reed for being named as outstanding teacher of the month from Think 360 Arts for the month of June for the summer drama class she taught at Jefferson High School in conjunction with one of the Think 360 Arts teaching artists, Mr. Jesse Wilson.  

 

Thank you Elizabeth for your dedication and hard work to the arts in education! 

 

Her recognition will be posted on their website under the Awards/Recognitions tab- 

 

Great Start to the new Year!

SLHS Community,

We are very excited about the start to our school year.  Students were eager to get back into the swing and our newest Gators are acclimating themselves to the building very well.  

Back to School Night was a great success-  We had the opportunity to talk with over 250 parents about the new year along with each spending some time with their son/daughters teacher as well.  

Reminder-  We will begin implementing the new tardy policy starting next week so please encourage your students to be to school and all classes on time-  The 95% attendance rate to attend large events will be enforced and every 5th tardy will count as one UNX toward that overall attendance rate.  

STUDIO-  Please encourage students to utilize the studio resource we have in place on their off hours. We have content teachers in the studio to support and provide help to students that ask for their help. Its a great opportunity to finish homework and or get questions answered before you get home.  The studio is located in the library.  

It BEGINS....

I cannot believe the eve of August 17th and a brand new school year is upon us.  Time to let go of the years past, spark new passion and purpose, but most importantly creative the most effective environment we can at SLHS.  

The staff has worked very hard this past week preparing to open our doors, hearts, minds and souls to Gator Nation-  We took to the front court for some team building activites that had us all thinking outside the box, creating ideas that are reflective of design, and working together as a team rather than a group.  As you will see in the photos below we had a great time, but learned a lot from each other and formed a new bond to pursue educational excellence together! 

Welcome back!
