Updates & Reminders
SHS Virtual Angel Tree
Thank you to our PTO for organizing a Virtual Angel Tree for SHS families! The SHS Virtual Angel Tree will provide holiday assistance to Spartan families who are experiencing financial difficulties this season. To reduce contact, we will be collecting monetary donations instead of gifts. With these donations, Sanderson’s student services team will purchase and distribute gift cards to families in need before the holidays. Click here to donate.
Fall Final Exam Schedule
All administrations of EOC and CTE assessments must be in person as required by state policy (this includes virtual academy students). If a student does not have an exam during the scheduled time, the student will not report to school for that exam block. Parents, please complete this permission form for each student to give permission to miss exam periods and help us plan for school breakfast/lunch. Any questions with the EXAM SCHEDULE should be directed to Ms. Lumsden at mlumsden@wcpss.net.
