During the SHJHS ATLAS Interims 1 Fall 2024-25 Testing Week, students will engage in a series of tests that focus on core subjects, including Reading, Math, Science, and Writing, from October 22nd to October 29th. The event will feature fun and engaging activities, such as themed pajama day and trivia, designed to create a relaxed yet focused testing atmosphere. Students are encouraged to "Be H.E.R.E." by staying helpful, engaged, ready, and putting in their best effort on each test. Additionally, "Be GRRRReat" expectations remind students to be grateful, respectful, responsible, resilient, and reflective, with opportunities to earn rewards for attendance and behavior.
Student Choice is an important part of the educational atmosphere, even when it comes to student nutrition! Chef King prepared grilled chicken sandwiches with roasted red pepper mayo and Caribbean BBQ pulled pork sandwiches for the students to sample. Students then voted on which one they'd prefer to see added to their cafeteria menu. It was close, but the Caribbean BBQ won with 55% of the vote!
