This document is a good resource for trying to plan ahead. We are plugging in SHS dates and events as we hear of them. This is subject to change, but want to keep you all in the loop.

ACT testing is approaching.

Wednesday, 3/26: ACT (11th Graders only in the building)

Wednesday, 4/9: PreACT (9th and 10th Graders only in the building)

Juniors will be doing more ACT Prep in Advisory on 3/6 and 3/7 within their MyACT accounts. They will be able to select up to four colleges to send their scores to free of charge (parents may want to have some conversations about this with their student prior).

They will also be completing the Non-Test Activities, which include some optional questions that again parents may want to preview with students. A preview of the questions can be found here.

Students must register and complete their MyACT account set-up no later than two days post testing to receive their scores linked to their MyACT account and their free score reporting sent to colleges.

More details on these dates will be sent out as the day gets closer.

Connect with us during Spring parent/teacher conference nights on March 24th and 27th. These evenings are both from 3:30-7:30 and are open house style. You can find your student's schedule and class rooms in PowerSchool. We will have other activities happening on both nights. We hope you take this opportunity to connect with us. Bring along your Spartan and have them show you around. It is a great way to see their perspective of how they spend their day.

Because of the generosity of a few local businesses, we are able to provide dinner for teachers during their long evenings in the building for conferences. We need your help showing our SWEET staff your appreciation. Sign up to bring in a dessert HERE on either or both nights. Thank you for showing our Spartan staff some love!

Our PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association) helps create and implement ideas to support our secondary schools. They meet monthly at SHS. Here are some of their events that they have:

• Supporting Teachers during Conference Nights
• School Board Candidate Forum
• SHS Crock Pot Cooking Class
• Teacher Appreciation Week
• Collaboration with the SHS All Night Grad Party
• Supporting PBIS goals at both schools

HOW TO JUMP ON BOARD

Their next meeting will be on March 26th at 5:30, show up! Find more information on what the group does, updates, and opportunities to help by visiting their facebook page here. Become a member here.

Does the idea of having a healthy, homecooked meal for your family feel like an overwhelming chore? Does it sometimes feel like there is just not enough time, money or energy? Do you wish your high schooler could learn some cooking skills to carry with them after graduation? Come join us for FREE 3 sessions of exploring and cooking delicious homemade crock pot meals that are easy to prepare and healthy to eat!

Each session, participants will prepare a family sized meal to take home and cook in a crock pot. If you don't have a crock pot, that's ok! They will be generously provided by the SMS & SHS PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association).

In addition to preparing meals, you will learn ways of nourishing your body and mind in healthy ways. You will learn about how people connect through the meals they share and the food they eat. Upon completion of the three session program, each family will receive a free gift from Epicurean.

We're inviting our SHS students and a parent/guardian (if available) to spend time with us cooking, sharing, and exploring these things together.

Where: Superior High School Food Lab Classroom
When: Monday 3/24, Wednesday 3/26, Friday 3/28 (must be able to attend all 3 sessions)
Time: 5-7pm

Includes: FREE Groceries to prepare the 3 meals, a crockpot if you need one, a gift from Epicurean upon completion of all 3 nights.

REGISTRATION IS LIMITED AND REQUIRED HERE

We are looking for parent and community members willing to help conduct mock employment interviews with your 9th Grade Keystone class on March 27th. Find more information about this volunteer opportunity here.

Our 2025 All Night Grad Party Committee is already planning a fun and safe evening for our Spartan Graduates on the evening of June 6th. Visit their site for more information and ways to support.

GIFT CARDS NEEDED! The ANGP is unable to use their funds to purchase gift cards. They need your help! Graduates enjoy getting gift cards as prizes: Amazon, Taco Bell, Kwik Trip, Dunkin'...just to name a few of the top requested. Any gift card donations can be brought to our main office to the attention of the All Night Grad Party. Thank you!

This short film is geared toward high school age students and their guardians. Afterwards, CASDA and HDC will be available with resources and a discussion on healthy relationships. We encourage all SHS students and parents to attend this FREE and valuable event.

PBIS (positive behavior interventions and supports) is a system that focuses on reinforcing positive behavior by providing clear expectations to students and teaching them what those expectations look like in action. PBIS provides meaningful incentives for students when they are showing expected behavior and provides reteaching to students who may need more support in understanding how to show expected behavior throughout the building. Staff are encouraged to award students with a Spartan ticket, which they can turn in for various incentives. How can you help support our efforts? We are looking for prizes, gift cards, or experiences that will get our students excited. Any donations can be turned into the main office to the attention of Matt Amerson. We have also created this Amazon Wishlist. Another way to support is to shop the Spartan Shack online for gear we can use toward prizes. Our students love Spartan swag!

Fill out this form if you are interested in hosting a table to have an exhibit table at this district-wide event on April 9th at Superior Middle School.

The cast and crew for Spartan Drama performance of High School Musical are finalized and rehearsals have started. Save these dates and stay tuned for ticket sales. You aren't going to want to miss this show!

Did you miss ordering your cap, gown or tassel for Graduation?

You have two options:

1. Buy from Jostens - you will no longer get the discount on the website now that the deadline has passed.

2. Buy it from the Treasurer's Office - in April our Jostens rep will hand out all pre-ordered items. Our rep will leave a supply available for purchase after distribution.

If you have barriers to purchasing a cap and gown, please direct your student to see their counselor.

More details will be sent out as this big day approaches, but we just wanted you to be aware in advance.

Ceremony - Students will have a rehearsal in the morning. The ceremony will be at 7:00pm in the Spartan Complex outdoors. Graduates need to be there by 6:00pm. Doors open for spectators at 6:00pm. There are no tickets needed.

All Night Grad Party - This celebration for graduates will go from 9:30pm-3am. Tickets for this will go on sale in May. Find more information here.
