Letter from Julie S. Lee, Principal

Happy New Year 2020 Highlanders!

January is a fast month with teachers and parents encouraging students to “finish

strong” in their 1st semester courses. Students are working with their teachers on

test preparation for final exams, receiving individualized tutoring for key concepts/

knowledge and others are staying after school for Homework Help in the library to

finish incomplete assignments necessary to boost their overall semester grade. The

Groovy Shoes theme this year was “Shoe fari” using safari and jungle animal

costumes which made for a fun event against North Central in the Spokane Arena.

To carry forward our unity and school spirit, we are embracing another fun rivalry

at the Stinky Singlet wrestling event against North Central which is “in

our house” on Wednesday, January 29 at 7:00 p.m. in the SPHS main

gymnasium. Our students and families will rally on our scrappy and swift

wrestlers. Join us in the fun by wearing your favorite Groovy Shoes t-shirt or green

and gold gear!

February begins the course registration process for the 2020-2021 school year.

Our counselors, teachers and administrators are messaging to Highlanders the

importance of maximizing their high school experience by looking at a wide range

of courses and co-curricular opportunities we offer at Shadle Park. Through

English classes, the counselors will review the graduation requirements and course

registration process. During the advisory period on Mondays, Advisors will help

students identify their passions, interests and aptitudes, develop goals towards

their personal pathway AND select their classes for next year.

Parents, guardians and other adult mentors are important contributors to this

process to help students solidify their personal pathway and complete the course

registration process. Student centered conferences are scheduled for

February 11– 14 and family members are strongly encouraged to attend. At

Shadle Park, we changed “student led” to mean “student centered”

conferences. With this slight change, the purpose of conferences is for students

and parents to walk away feeling heard, feeling informed, and feeling supported by

the grade level advisor. Furthermore, it is an opportunity to provide grade level

specific content and context that is developmentally appropriate to ensure our

students are on a trajectory to be successful beyond high school. Families will also

have an opportunity to meet with any teacher they choose during our late night for

conferences which is Tuesday, February 11 3:00 – 7:30 p.m. in the main gym/

commons. Check out more details about conferences within this newsletter.

We appreciate our families and the strong partnerships we have with each of you. The Shadle Park Staff and I wish you an abundantly positive 2020!

Go Highlanders!

School Principal

The FAFSA: How and Why Families of Seniors need to complete the FAFSA to know what federal grants may be available for their post-secondary planning. FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and helps students who want to go to trade and vocational schools in addition to 2 and 4 year colleges and universities. This is a valuable resource when trying to figure out how to fund your career plan after graduation. Please contact Mrs. Eberhardt if you need help applying for federal student aid. The first step in completing federal student aid is for parent and student to complete their FSA ID at the following website: fsaid.ed.gov. Once this is done, students and parents can go to studentaid.gov to complete the FAFSA. These documents are needed to complete the FAFSA:

• Your Social Security Number or Alien Registration Number (if you are not a U.S. citizen)

• Your 2018 federal income tax returns, W-2s, and other records of money earned. (Note: You may be able to transfer your federal tax return information into your FAFSA using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool.)

• Bank statements and records of investments (if applicable)

• Records of untaxed income (if applicable)

• An FSA ID to sign electronically.

NEWS FROM DECA

On Friday, December 6, 2019, 45 Shadle DECA members competed at our area competition at SFCC. Members competed in role play events as individuals and teams and made presentations on prepared topics. “As an integral part of the classroom curriculum, DECA’s industry-validated competitive events are aligned with the National Curriculum Standards in the career clusters of marketing, business management and administration, finance, and hospitality and tourism. DECA’s flagship evaluation process involves students in both a written component such as an exam or report and an interactive component with an industry professional serving as a judge. DECA’s competitive events directly contribute to every student being college and career ready when they graduate from high school” All competitors did an excellent job and it was a “Great day to be a Highlander”! Special congratulations go to the following members who have qualified for the State Career and Development Conference, March 5-7, 2020 in Bellevue, WA.

Warm up on the cold days with lattes, hot chocolate and apple cider! Prepaid cards may be purchased for your sons and daughters.

College & Career Opportunities A variety of Career Center information and

participated in—see article above) for high school

students can be found by going to this link (updated

regularly):

HIGHLANDERS IN THE NEWS Congratulations to Shadle Park senior Olivia Perkins who was recently

recognized by Washington State Governor Jay Inslee during his State of the

State speech. Olivia completed a Summer

2019 internship with Wagstaff as part of

the Production and Manufacturing

Academy to get exposure to hands-on

welding. She wants to create and sell her

own metal artwork. Greater Spokane

Incorporated paired with the Academy &

made this career-connected opportunity a

reality. Olivia took an hour-and-a-half bus ride — each way — and then walked

a mile and a half — each way — just to attend class. Because of her efforts, she

received a full scholarship to Spokane Community College and will become a

professional welder because of her academy experience. We are so proud of

you, Olivia!

Future Graduation Dates:

For your planning purposes, here are the graduation dates, times, and

locations for the next three years. All ceremonies will be held at the
