Hello Parents & Teens: Please join us for "Screenagers: Addressing the Risks for Youth in the Digital Age" on Wednesday, October 25th in the SKHS Auditorium from 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm. This event consists of a 50-minute documentary and a panel/Q&A session after. This movie examines the impact of our digital age on teen's decision making in relation to substances such as va**ng, alcohol and drugs. Exploring the latest research and learning more about the personal experiences of teens and families, the film highlights the changing landscape of the substances themselves, offering solutions for how we can best empower teens, as they face decisions about what they will and will not be influenced by. Here is a link to the website. Scroll down to see a preview of the movie titled "Screenagers Under the Influence: Addressing Va**ng Drugs and Alcohol in the Digital Age."

What an amazing luncheon parents provided for all the SKHS Teachers and Staff on Thursday, May 25th! We could barely fit all the food on the table. So appreciate everyone coming together to show their appreciation and support to these incredible individuals who have nurtured and developed our students into the amazing individuals they are. Thank you to all who contributed to the success of this event!! Also from Dr Chip McGair..."seeing our students and their Rube Goldberg projects, boys lax win, and all that our students had to offer through our Arts Night made the day a home run. Thank you all for your efforts to allow our students and staff to shine." We couldn't agree more Dr. McGair. See photos of the event here thanks to Denise Walsh:

From the Principal:

On June 6th, voters will go to the polls and vote on a proposed referendum to reduce the School Department's budget by $1.5 million dollars. The School Department budget for 2023-24, which begins in July, is level funded and represents a $0 dollar increase over last year's adopted budget. This means that there is no additional cost to the taxpayer. However, despite not requesting additional town appropriations, some in the community believe the School Department's budget should be reduced. The referendum's impact on educating students in our community would be devastating.

We have worked very hard to create a $0 increase budget that affords our students the many opportunities that we pride ourselves in providing to our students. To put it bluntly, the only way to reduce the SK budget by that amount for 2023-24, will be to make significant staffing and programmatic cuts that will limit some of the opportunities. In the coming days, we will be sharing what this significant, requested reduction of $1.5 million will mean specifically for SKHS and the district, but want to put the June 6th referendum on your radar.
