SSD Virtual Students:
We are pleased to provide free school meals for our virtual students. Participating families will pick up all meals for the week each Monday from 10 - 10:30 a.m. at SHS or EEM. Whenever Monday falls on a holiday, the meals will be distributed on Tuesday. We hope that by providing all meals for the week on one day will be more convenient for families than having to pick up meals each day of the week. Perishable food will be frozen so that you can heat and prepare the food at your convenience. School meals will be FREE to families through the end of the school year.

This year’s theme is #RiseAbove! Last year was extremely difficult for us all. As we approach this new school year, we are committed to rising above our obstacles, setbacks, fears and worries. Take a moment to think about your goals for the upcoming school year. Can you reach even higher? Can you Rise Above? Despite our circumstances, despite our differences, and despite all the things that COVID has taken away from us, we must move forward together. Let us move forward with hope, positivity, and by lifting each other up. You know that saying, “we rise by lifting others”? How will you help others Rise Above?
The monthly school board meeting scheduled for tonight, Aug. 9, has been moved to the SHS cafeteria for social distancing purposes. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m.
