Announcements

School pictures will be coming home by TOMORROW, Thursday, October 20. All families are asked to submit picture orders or return unpurchased pictures to your child’s homeroom teacher by THIS Monday, October 24. DO NOT send in payment. You will be billed for your picture order through FACTS. If no orders or pictures are returned by Monday, we will assume you are keeping the whole package and we will bill you for Package #1 ($25.00) through FACTS. If your child is having pictures retaken, please turn in the original pictures so you are not charged.

Make-Up Picture Day is Wednesday, October 26. If your child was absent on the original picture day, or if your child needs a retake, please send your child in his/her picture day clothes. Students who have their picture made on that day can stay in their picture day clothes or change into their full school uniform.

Tomorrow, October 20, is a schoolwide spirit day. Students may come out of uniform but must wear SLS shirts only (spirit shop, field day, PE, etc.) 7/8 grade athletes are encouraged to wear their sports jersey. Shirts must be worn under sleeveless or mesh jerseys. There is no cost to participate in this day.
