It’s time to shine a spotlight on the amazing individuals who make SKG an extraordinary place to learn and grow. Congratulations to this month’s Jaguars of the Month — your dedication, kindness, and commitment to excellence have not gone unnoticed. Whether you're inspiring others in the classroom, supporting behind the scenes, or leading by example as a student, you truly embody what it means to be part of the SKG family. We’re proud to celebrate you!

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.
