Attention Middle School Parents: Information Regarding STAAR Results & Summer School STAAR Results: We have received partial scores from the STAAR Test. If you are wanting to know your child's results, Mr. Salazar will be available at the Middle School Office from 10 AM - Noon on Friday, May 27th to give student's their results. We still don't have any results from tests that were taken on paper. We do have the results of the tests that students took online (6th-8th Reading, 8th Science, 8th Social Studies). If you are not available to come by, we will mail home results next week. For those that are required to come for Summer school, we will make phone calls on Friday morning (May 27th) to inform the student and parent of their required attendance. We will also make the phone call to those students that are required to stay based on grades. Summer School Information: June 1st - June 21st Session 1: 8 AM - 10 AM (Breakfast from 8-8:30) Session 1 (Math): 6th & 7th Grade Math with Mrs. Terry Session 1 (ELA): 8th Grade ELA with Mrs. Click-Maynard Session 2: 10 AM - 12 PM (Lunch from 11:30-12) Session 2 (Math): 8th Grade Math with Mrs. Terry Session 2 (ELA): 6th & 7th Grade ELA with Mrs. Click-Maynard

Important Graduation Info: We need all graduating seniors in the auditorium for practice at 10:00 on Friday morning. They will then report back at 6:00 to get ready. Doors to the auditorium will open at 6:45 for the ceremony that begins at 7:30. Looking forward to a great evening celebrating the class of 2022.

Parents, I just wanted to give you all an update on STAAR scores. Paper test results have been delayed across the state. It will be at least next week before we know how your child did. Because of this, we will be pushing back the start of summer school from May 31st to June 6th. This will give us time to get STAAR scores in, analyze them, and to get a more accurate idea of who would benefit from extended education through the summer. Thank you for your patience as we wait on results. Thanks, Jason Powell

SHS enjoyed an end of year play day on Monday. Special thanks to United Supermarkets in Levelland for their $50 donation for food to help feed all 181 high school students. Students ate hot dogs and hamburgers, then played games indoors and outside. In the pic below, seniors Kylee Newsom and Avery Avery cooled down on the water slide once the temperature neared 100 degrees.

Congratulations to Senior JoAnna McAdams who was named to the Texas High School Coaches Association (THSCA) Academic All-State 1st Team for Golf. Class rank, SAT/ACT scores, and GPA were all considered, which JoAnna excelled in all of them. Thank you, JoAnna, for all of your hard work!
