SHRHS Newsletter
We have some exciting digital news for you. While we understand some paper has been sent home, we are asking all families to update critical information via the parent portal. This will be the method moving forward, so we appreciate your help in reducing our use of paper throughout the district.
1. New! Ability to update contact information through the Parent Portal. Parents can now update contact information, including phone numbers, email addresses, employment details, and emergency contact information. To access the Change Request Form, log in and click on your user icon in the top right corner.
Important Note: Address changes will not be accepted through the Parent Portal. If you have changed your address, please contact your child’s school directly to ensure the appropriate documentation is provided to update your student’s record.
2. Student Information Health Form will now be accessible in the Parent Portal. Log in to the Parent Portal to submit the required medical health forms for child[ren] in the District. These will be located under Forms section on your dashboard. This is a required, annual, document that will need to be submitted for child[ren].
Important Note: If more than one parent has a parent portal account, both accounts will have access to the form, however only one form per child is required for the District.
3. Dudley Charlton Regional School District Student Handbook Technology Acceptable Use Policy 2024-2025 - This year we have a digital version of the sign-off for the Student Handbook Technology Acceptable Use Policy . Use this link to access our student handbooks and sign off on the required forms for child[ren]. If you have more than one child in the District, you must submit a response for each student.
To obtain an early dismissal please bring a written request from your parent or caregiver to the main office as soon as you arrive at school. The request will be reviewed and an early dismissal slip will be issued if warranted. If returning from a dismissal, students should check in to the main office to have their attendance record updated.
Students must be in school prior to or after 11:00 a.m. for the day to count for participation in school activities.
It is very important to follow this procedure whenever possible. Phone calls to classrooms for dismissals are very disruptive to the educational process. Advance notice of the dismissal with a note helps alleviate those disruptions. We appreciate your assistance!
Thank you! Mrs. Champagne and Mrs. Jalbert
Updated Bus Routes have been posted to our website.
Students who reside in the Dudley-Charlton district will be routed to and from their home address unless other arrangements have been made.
Please note: The Late Bus schedule has been modified. Late Buses will depart Shepherd Hill at 3:30pm and run only Monday through Thursday. The 5:30pm Late Bus has been eliminated.

A student should stay at home:
If they have a fever of 100 degrees F or greater (Must be fever free for 24 hours without medication before returning to school)
If vomiting and or diarrhea has occurred in the last 24 hours
The Shepherd Hill Attendance Guideline designates six (6) unexcused class absences per subject, per semester (each 1/2 year) as the maximum allowed for normal circumstances of regular school attendance. The allowed number of days for absence is designed to accommodate:
· Personal illness
· Religious holidays
· Serious personal or family problems
· Professional appointments that could not be scheduled outside the regular school day
Our community and school take pride in the appearance that our students present. We expect that all students will dress and groom themselves neatly in clothes that are suitable for school activities. Students that dress in an inappropriate manner will be required to change into proper attire; the second offense will result in a detention and parent will be notified.
France & England 2025
The Global Awareness Program will be traveling to France and England during the April, 2025 school vacation. Highlights will include Paris, Versailles, the chateaux in the Loire Valley, Mont-St.-Michel, the D-Day Beaches in Normandy, the Tower of London, the London Eye, and a London theater production. Shepherd Hill students in grades 9-12 next year with a record of good school citizenship and conduct are eligible to participate. Students may pick up an information request form in the main office or parents may email Mrs. Pierangeli ( mpierangeli@dcrsd.org ) for detailed information. A limited number of openings remain on a first-come, first-served basis. Don’t procrastinate! Join the group on next year’s adventure!
Military Recruiters and Post Secondary Education Institutions
The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 requires that all schools receiving federal funds must provide the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of secondary students to military recruiters and institutions of higher education. The act also requires that military recruiters be given the same access to students that is given to recruiters for post secondary institutions and employers. If a parent objects to releasing this information he/she should notify the guidance office.
