Back to Business!

Welcome to 2nd Semester!  With our weather delays coupled with testing, it seemed that we would never escape our 1st Semester!  As we move forward, I want to encourage our students to get back to business.  We have much to accomplish during the remainder of the school year and now is certainly not the time to lose focus.  So consider the following as you plan for the last half of our first year together:

1.  Your attendance is crucial!  At the end of our 1st Semester, I had the tough job of making decisions about attendance appeals for course credit.  While I'm glad that this process exists for students who experience trauma, it should not be relied upon as an alternative to attending school.  We need you here everyday!  Remember after 8 absences, your credit is in jeopardy.
2.  Get involved!  Even if you were unable to join a club or play a sport during the 1st Semester or in previous years, it is not too late.  Show your school spirit and support our athletes and coaches by attending games. We need you and value your input and ideas.  If Salisbury High School does not have a club or activity that interests you, help us create one!
3.  Respect yourself and others!  Follow the rules and treat others as you would like to be treated.  Do  random acts of kindness.  Show everyone what it means to be a Salisbury Hornet!  Dress appropriately every day.  Use your phone and other e-devices only as they are allowed.  Choose language that your grandmother would be proud of!

I hope that this semester more than meets your expectations as we all get back to business.  Have an Incredible Week and Go Hornets!
