Cell Phones: This year we will be continuing to allow cell phones during lunches. Students are allowed to use cell phones during their lunch in the lunchroom. Additionally, we will be allowing cell phone usage before 8:05am in the building. So, in the mornings before class, students can use phones as well. After 8:05am, they need to be turned off and put away except during lunch in the lunch room.

 

Dress Code: We will be having meetings today to discuss the dress code and our expectations. Please make sure you are following these guidelines. If you choose not to, the consequences for that choice include detentions and suspension time.

 

KCTC: There will be a meeting for KCTC students at 10:45am on Wednesday. We will make an announcement dismissing you to the auditorium at that time.

Senior Pictures for 2010-11

Senior pictures are due by November 1. Because contemporary clothing styles and poses change so quickly, Jostens recommends a traditional senior photo pose for placement in the yearbook. General guidelines for a traditional senior photo include: vertical format; indoor lighting with minimal background; head and shoulder position; no name or date printed on the photo. Most of the local photography studios facilitate this type of pose. Please have the photography studio send a copy directly to the high school upon request. Senior photos should be submitted to Mrs. Van Dusen.

Freshmen Orientation:  Freshmen Orientation for all freshmen students in the “Class of 2014” is scheduled for Tuesday, August 31 at 6:00 p.m. Freshmen Orientation is an opportunity for students and parents to become acquainted with the programs and activities at Sparta High School. Students will receive their schedules, have their pictures taken and walk through their daily schedule. More information will be mailed. Parents of freshmen students are invited to a parent orientation on the evening of Tuesday, August, starting at 7:00 p.m.
