• Attention all students: The deadline to drop a class in S1 without administrator approval is Friday, January 16th.  Students are not permitted to drop classes in the last ten days of the term.  Be sure to complete any planned schedule changes/drops, including return of textbooks/materials. Students must contact your school counselors directly in order to request a drop.  January 16th is also the deadline for students to work with a teacher to submit a request for a Pass/No Pass grading option in Semester 1. Contact your School Counselor if you have questions.
• Effective immediately, loaner laptops will no longer be issued to students unless they are taking a test or quiz and have a note from their teacher.If your school-issued computer is currently being repaired, this policy is different—you may continue to come to the office to swap loaner laptops when the battery runs low.
• Remember, our cell phone policy:  “Off and Away all Day!”  Thanks for all of your help with our new policy; most students are doing well with it!  Today we begin phase two and three to comply with the Governor’s order.   If your phone or Personal Electronic Device is out, it will be confiscated and brought to the front office where it can be picked up at the end of the day.  With multiple infractions, you will need a meeting with parent or guardian prior to the device being returned and or leave it in the front office for the day.
• If you are interested in being a part of the Sheldon Track & Field team this spring the team is starting winter workouts for January & February.  The team meets in the weight room on Monday, Tuesdays & Thursdays at 3:45 pm, after school.  It is a great way to get in shape early & meet teammates.  You are encouraged to stop in and meet the coaches and ask any questions you may have about the program.
• We’re looking for players to join the Boys Tennis Team for the upcoming 2026 season. Open to all levels — although experience in tennis or other sports is a great starting point.  Tennis is the subtle art of blending power, control, and grace — one of the most mentally and physically complex sports there is. If you enjoy problem-solving, competition, and working together towards a common goal, we’d love to see you on the court.  Come meet Coach Hudson next Wednesday, the 14th, in Room C-9 during lunch, and see if you want to be part of building something special
