Stowe High School Family Update

“The mission of Stowe High School is to provide a welcoming and academically rigorous environment, where all students are encouraged to be Creative, Caring and Collaborative learners”

Friday's field day was a success. From frisbees, snow cones, cotton candy and of course hacky sack, fun was had by all. Oh and we had a dunk tank as well! See a few pictures below.

On Wednesday, May 20th, we had two students recognized for their stellar performance on the 69th Annual Vermont High School Prize Examination. Heath Colbert-Lourie tied for 5th in the entire state, and Thomas Murphy tied for 2nd in our region. Congratulations Heath and Thomas!

You may have seen in the Stowe Reporter that vape detectors were installed in many SMHS bathrooms. We hope this capital improvement allows us to better support and hold our students accountable. Please reach out to either principal with questions.

2026 SENIOR FAMILIES:

The Stowe High School Baccalaureate Ceremony will be held on Friday, June 12, 2026 at 5:00PM at Stowe Community Church. This is a long standing tradition which will offer graduating seniors, their families, and the community a meaningful opportunity to reflect, celebrate, and recognize the journey ahead. It is a blessing—honoring students with words of encouragement, gratitude, and hope for the future. The ceremony will feature speakers, music, and inspirational messages in a supportive and uplifting atmosphere.

This is a parent run event. Any questions or comments can be emailed to Deana Hailey at deanahailey@aol.com.

Thank you,

Julie Sigler

Weekly update from Tim Albertson

We recently posted two positions in School Spring, related to next year's musical production.

1. Musical Production Technical Director

2. Musical Production Director

Both positions play an essential role in planning, casting and producing a high quality musical performance. If you or anyone you know might be interested, please apply via the School Spring website.

Starting in the 2026-2027 school year, LSSU will be retiring the student Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program and move to a fully unified School-Issued Chromebook model.

This shift ensures that 100% of our students have the same high-quality hardware, streamlined tech support, and a secure, focused learning environment.

Key Details:

• Distribution: All students will receive their district-managed Chromebook at the start of the school year.

• Support: All students will now have access to on-site repairs and "loaner" devices to ensure no learning time is lost.

• Specialized Courses: Course specific computers will remain available for advanced software needs.

We are excited to provide this opportunity for every student. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like more information.

We have made a small change to how parents can notify the school regarding student absences and attendance. Going forward...if you choose to email the school in order to excuse an absence, please use the following shs.attendance@lamoillesouth.org. You can always call the attendance line as well if you like at (802) 253-7229 and choose option 1.

The PowerSchool mobile app is a great way to stay informed about your student's grades and attendance. If you are not currently using it, please see the simple directions below to access important student information.

• Open the relevant app store on your device, search for "PowerSchool," and then download the free "PowerSchool App." Use the code LNMT to link to the LSSU database, and enter the login credentials you were provided with by the district. Navigate between different views from a menu on the bottom of the screen. If you have more than one child, switch between their information by clicking on another name in the top right corner.
