As we approach the excitement of Spring Break, we want to remind you to check the lost and found for any items that may have gone missing over the past few weeks. Whether it’s a jacket, water bottle, electronics, or a set of keys, we’ve gathered a variety of items that need their rightful owners.

How to Claim Your Lost Items:

1. Visit the Lost and Found: Stop by the Counseling Canopy during your lunch to check the collection of lost items.

2. Describe Your Item: Have a detailed description of the item(s) you are looking for, including color, size, and any unique markings.

3. Pick Up Before Spring Break: All unclaimed items will be donated or discarded after April 3rd, so be sure to claim yours before the break begins!

Don’t miss out on the chance to get your things back before you head out to enjoy some well-deserved time off. Spring break will be here before you know it, and we want to make sure you don’t leave anything behind!

If you’ve lost something recently, don’t wait—visit us today!

Dear SKG Parents and Guardians,

I hope this message finds you well. This letter serves as a reminder regarding our student pick-up procedures at Seckinger High School and to ensure the safety and efficiency of our campus operations.

Per school procedures, all student pick-ups prior to 2:30 PM must take place in the designated car rider line located at the back of the school. For safety reasons, students should not be picked up from the faculty parking lot. Additionally, students should not walk between buses at any time, as this poses a significant safety risk. To support this expectation, cones and barricades will be placed at the entrance of the faculty parking lot to restrict access until 2:30 PM. We will also be sharing a video soon that further explains and reinforces our student pick-up procedures. We kindly ask for your cooperation in following these guidelines to help us maintain a safe and orderly environment forall students and staff.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

Feel free to stop by our Library to check out a book on these topics.
