Need to Know

  1. We have set our spring ATLAS testing dates - please avoid your child missing this week! This is our "big test" for the year. Our tests will be given the week of April 28th through May 2nd.
  2. In January, all students will report to advisory at the beginning of the school day on January 7th. Every student will get a new copy of his/her schedule and many students will have changes in classes depending on each student's class/course requirements.
  3. We will be collecting Chromebooks again on December 20th for the Christmas break.
  4. It's cold out - please encourage your student to bring a coat. We will go outside for social time if at all possible. Thanks!
  5. Reminder - please send medical notes for appointments that you have for our attendance records. You are always welcome to take a picture of the note and email it to dkline@sdale.org.

Hellstern Rockstars

Our student-athletes select a staff member or members who make a difference, impact their lives, go the extra mile to serve, etc. They then write how the individual has impacted them and/or our Hellstern community, finalized by honoring them with a plaque in which they write this in its entirety and then present!
