Back to School Night (BTSN)
Wednesday, 9/11/19
Our annual BTSN is Wednesday, 9/11. This event is an opportunity for parents / guardians to meet our teachers and hear a little about each class your child will be taking. We invite parents to arrive as early at 5:45 to visit with school groups who will have information tables in the main hallway as well as some student clubs holding fundraisers. We ask that parents be in their child’s first period class by 6:45 for a welcome video presentation. Our schedule that night will follow the blue day sequence of classes (periods 1,3,5,7) followed by a green day (2,6,8 – 4th period seminars don’t meet). The “bell” for first period to begin is at 7:00PM.
Parents are asked to check ParentVue for their child's schedule or have their child write out their schedule. We ask that parents follow the bell sequence as our teachers do share rooms. If you go out of order you may not be seeing your child's teacher in the room.
We will have students here to help parents/guardians navigate the hallways. Your student should not need to attend with you.
Shuttle Opportunity:
SLHS is providing shuttle service from several feeder elementary schools since parking is often a challenge (and it often rains!). Please consider riding one of the four shuttle buses being offered with stops at five schools. See below for schedule. PLEASE sign-up so that we can plan appropriately.

Parking:
You may park on the stadium side, front side, along the island in the front, in the lower lot. You may also park at Langston Hughes MS next door, along Ridge Heights as allowed and if we really need overflow at Terraset ES.
Tables for School Groups:
SLHS clubs and directly affiliated groups (PTSA, booster groups) are invited to reserve a table for Back To School Night. Tables will be available in the main hallway starting at 5:30PM. We encourage groups to finish their table activities around 6:45 so we can maximize space in the main hall for transitions to classes and parents have the opportunity to view the welcome video!
Sign up for a table at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508054BA9AD2DA02-btsn8
Due to capacity restraints, we are not able to honor table requests from groups outside of SLHS.
Learn More about the Role of the Counselor:
Want to learn more about School Counselors and their role in supporting student success? Stop by the right side of the Library from 6-6:30 for a brief presentation by counselors Madiha Jamil and Moira Fleche.
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
