We are looking forward to the first day of school tomorrow and seeing our kids! When you arrive at school on Monday with your student please do not park right in front of the Kindergarten (West) doors. A good place to park would be on the north or south or sides of the school if you are bringing your student to school. Once you approach the school, you will see a screening station. Your child will have their temperature taken with a touchless thermometer that can read their forehead. If they have a temperature of 100.3 or less, they will be allowed to enter the school. As a safety precaution, parents will not be allowed to enter the building with their student but parents may come to the office through the main entrance if you need anything. Remember to have your student wear their mask! We are looking forward to a great school year! Doors will unlock at 7:45. Please do not arrive earlier than that. Also, the playground will be closed in the mornings. Once students enter the school, they will need to report directly to their classrooms.
● PreK-2nd grade will enter through the west doors by the Kindergarten room.
● Grades 3-4 will enter through the main doors.
● Grades 5-6 will enter through the north doors.
● Bus riders will enter through the east doors.
● Breakfast eaters will report to the cafeteria but will take their breakfast and eat in their classrooms.
Remember that the first day we will dismiss at 12:30. Lunch will be served. We are looking forward to a great day!
Tomorrow is Day One of what we hope will be 175 days of school (minus a snow day or two). AT SJSHS just 7th, Freshman, and new students. SGS has everyone arriving.
I've attached the map for SJSHS designating the two entry points available. Have a great year!
Dear Kindergarten Parent(s),
We wanted to let you know about some procedures that will be unique to Kindergarteners that first day of school. You may have read that we are not able to allow parents into the building except for the main office. However, we know that Kindergarten parents want to see their student go into their classroom and that first day can be overwhelming for both the student and the parent! We have made it possible for Kindergarten parents to walk with your student right up to the classroom. Just bring your Kindergartener to the south side of the building outside the Kindergarten classrooms. The Kindergarten classrooms have back doors to the classrooms that you will be able to use those first two days. This will allow you to bring your child right up to the classroom and you can see them go into their classroom and find their seat. When you arrive at school on Monday with your student please do not park right in front of the Kindergarten (West) doors. A good place to park would be on the south side of the school. Once you approach the school, you will see a screening station. Your child will have their temperature taken with a touchless thermometer that can read their forehead. If they have a temperature of 100.3 or less, they will be allowed to enter the school. School is dismissed at 12:30 that first day. School will be dismissed on a staggered schedule. Kindergarten students who are not riding the bus will be dismissed at 12:29. If you are picking up your child please be outside the west doors to receive your student at that time. Remember to have your student wear their mask! We are looking forward to a great school year!

This is a reminder for any junior high or high school athlete. You will be required to wear a mask to practices that start tomorrow, August 17th. Masks need to be worn into the building, locker rooms and to practice. At practice you will be required to wear them during meeting or instruction time, but will be allowed to take them off during drills and strenuous activity. The school will have masks to provide if students show up without one. We are looking forward to fun and successful seasons!! Go bears!!
Due to outage with our internet provider, our internet and phones are down. We hope to be up and running soon!
We have been told that there may be a false text message circulating about the fall sports meeting tonight. The meeting will be virtual, NOT in person. Please do not show up at the high school. The meeting is at 5:30 and the link for the meeting from a computer is meet.google.com/jir-xepn-hej and the number to call in from your phone is 1 970-699-5166 with PIN: 986 239 196#
A huge shoutout to Goodfellows of Southern Rice County and these volunteers who, led by Nancy Inwood, procured, sorted, and delivered supplies for ALL of our teachers today. You guys are AWESOME! #WeAreSterling
If you ordered a 2019-2020 yearbook, those will be sent home with your student after school starts.
We have moved the Fall Sports Orientation meeting on Thursday, August 13th to a virtual format. It will still be held at 5:30, but it will be through google meet. Coaches will not be available during that time, but will set up their own meetings as needed. The link for the meeting from a computer is meet.google.com/jir-xepn-hej and the number to call in from your phone is 1 970-699-5166 with PIN: 986 239 196#
In preparation for the 2020-21 school year, we need ALL USD 376 households to complete the survey at https://rebrand.ly/enroll376 by noon on 8/13. To view the USD 376 Reopening Plan, please visit https://rebrand.ly/Reopen376.
The USD376 Board of Education meeting scheduled for tonight at 7 pm will be hosted in the SHS auditorium instead of the library. The move is to permit spacing among those that attend.
For the junior high and high school camps that are happening this week, please be aware that we are requesting students to wear face masks. Coaches will use their judgment as to when masks can be pulled down. We will also be checking temperature for all that attend.
