    Today marks the mid-term for the first quarter of the school year. Mid-term progress reports will be posted in the Aspen Family portal by Friday, October 11, 2024. Notifications will be sent via email and text message once those progress reports are available to view in Aspen.

     

    NO SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS - WEDNESDAY, October 9, 2024

    Students and families are reminded that next Wednesday, October 9, is a professional day for SVTHS staff, which means there will be no school for students.

     

    Attention Sophomores - Information on Class Rings

    There will be a class meeting with Jostens during homeroom on Wednesday, October 16, where information will be presented to students on class rings. Additional information will be shared with families after the meeting.

     

    Behavior Intervention Monitoring Assessment System-2 (BIMAS-2) for 9th Grade Students

    The following message is from the SVTHS Guidance Department:

    Beginning on October 22, in our continuing efforts to support the well-being of all our students, we will be administering a universal screener of social, emotional & behavioral health to our 9th grade students. Shawsheen will use the Behavior Intervention Monitoring Assessment System-2 (BIMAS-2) which is a research-based screening tool. We believe this will help all our students thrive academically and vocationally by identifying students who may benefit from additional social and emotional supports and interventions, much like some students benefit from additional academic supports and interventions.  The BIMAS-2 is not a diagnostic tool. Students will access the screening tool through an online platform, and it should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete.

    If you would like to opt your 9th grade student out of the screening, please complete the Opt-out form below by October 16, 2024.
