Shepherd Middle School Update

We wrapped up last week with a little Halloween fun! Student Council hosted a costume contest during our SOAR assembly, where we recognized some creative costumes, and our choir added to the fun with a few Halloween favorites. Here are some snapshots from the day. It was a great way to end the week!

Completing the Educational Benefits Form in FinalForms has a significant impact on the state and federal funding available to our district. This funding helps support student programs, services, and resources throughout our schools.

Even if you don't think your family will qualify, please take a few minutes to complete the form! Every submission matters, and your information is confidential. If you haven't already, please log in to FinalForms using the link below and complete the Educational Benefits Form. Thank you for supporting Shepherd Schools and our students!

Families dropping off students on the west side of main campus may use the main campus drop-off loop or the drop-off loop down by the atrium. If you use the main campus loop, please follow the entire loop and let students out at the designated drop-off area. Please do not drop students off elsewhere in the parking lot.

If you need to enter the building during the designated times, please park in the other parking lot

Please do not stop on Hall Street to drop off students. This creates unsafe conditions for students, families, and other drivers. Always pull into one of the designated drop-off loops.

The main campus parking lot is not available for middle or high school pick-up after school. Please meet your student in the parking lot across the street (pictured below) or in the high school parking lot by the atrium. If you use the lot across the street, pull into a parking space and wait for your student. Students should use the crosswalk to reach you.

Thank you for helping keep arrival and dismissal safe and orderly for everyone!

For the month of November, Mrs. Gall is issuing a challenge to all students to fill out this gratitude calendar everyday.
