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”

A few reminders to ensure a smooth start to the new school year:

• As shared previously, all students will be given a school issued Chromebook. No personal electronic devices such as cell phones, Bluetooth headphones, smart watches, or laptops are allowed.
• Our schedule for tomorrow will allow all students to reconnect with friends and faculty (please see the grade level class schedules here: 9th Grade and 10th/11th/12 Grade
• Please see the sections below regarding bus riders, scheduled fire drill and the storage of athletic equipment as some of these have changed from previous years.

Please note, we have a joint SMHS Fire Drill scheduled for sometime this week.

Students are expected to ride the bus they are assigned to each day, with the exception of sporting events. If your child plans to ride a different bus, parent permission is required. An email or note to Amanda at the front desk will allow us to give your student a bus pass for that day. Amanda’s email is amanda.hatfield@lamoillesouth.org or (802) 253-7229.

All bus riders are expected to remain seated, quiet and display respectful behavior toward peers and the driver.

No sports equipment or personal items are to left or stored in the main lobby!

The only appropriate place to store equipment or other items that do not fit in a locker, is the locker room. The locker room will be open in the morning when students arrive at school and will be locked at 8:15am each day.

Welcome Back Seniors,

Over the summer you received our summer communication with an important update that Stowe High School has transitioned away from Naviance to a platform called Maia Learning. Maia, is the college and career readiness system you will be using to prepare for life after high school.

• You'll use Maia to research colleges and universities, and to manage recommendation and transcript requests.

• You'll also use Maia to learn more about your interests and strengths, and explore college and career options.

You can only access your school based Maia account through your SHS email. We will use time in advisory and our individual meetings to get students transitioned to Maia.

You now have access to Maia Learning and can log in 2 different ways.

1. Go to your Stowe Clever Page and select the Maia Learning icon

2. Maia Learning (sign in with your Stowe High School email) Google Log in directions

We want to start the school year by giving back to the amazing educators who give so much of themselves throughout the year. A small gesture of appreciation, whether it’s a cup of coffee or tea, a favorite chocolate treat or a snack to enjoy during a busy day can make a meaningful difference and remind our teachers that their hard work is seen and valued. Let’s come together as a school community to celebrate our teachers and give something back. Please take a look at the slots below, choose an item (or items) that work for you, and click the sign-up button to participate. Thank you for helping us make our teachers feel welcomed, supported, and appreciated as they begin another wonderful school year!
