High School Girls Soccer: There will be an informational meeting for 8th grade (soon-to-be Freshmen) girls interested in playing high school soccer, and parents of soon-to-be Freshmen girls interested in playing high school soccer, on Monday, June 19 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the South Portland High School Lecture Hall. Come meet the coach, get an overview of the SPHS Girls Soccer Program, and learn about summer training options, the coach's approach to the game, and other profoundly interesting and earth-shatteringly meaningful soccer-related topics. The coach also will answer any questions you may have about the high school program, soccer in general, or the meaning of the universe.
As the weather becomes warmer (finally!), please remember that students are expected to dress appropriately for school. Please do not dress like you are going to the beach; dress ready to learn in the classroom and in a way that allows other to learn, as well.
The past couple of years the PTA have asked students to sell Yankee Candle items in order to raise money. This year we have decided to do a 'No Frills' fundraiser. Many of you may be familiar with this idea. Instead of asking families to buy and sell items, we are looking for families to simply make a donation. Please click here for the details. As with any fundraiser, we thank you very much for your support!
Homework Club runs from 2:30-3:30 on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Homework club is an opportunity for students to stay after school to get help from staff members. Each day there are 2 adult to supervise and support students. Please note that only students who plan on using this time productively are welcome.
The cafeteria is open for breakfast everyday until 7:50. Please know that only those that are eating breakfast should be in the cafeteria at this time.
Would you like to set up a lunch account for your student? Does your student need more money on his/her account? Head to myschoolbucks.com to take care of this!
