Sherman Junior High Takes #1 this week in March Madness Attendance Challenge! 🏆

Sherman Junior High School is proud to announce that we are currently #1 in the Secondary March Madness Attendance Challenge with an outstanding 91.379% attendance rate!

This reflects our students showing up and making school a priority. Your dedication is what puts SJHS at the top!

However, the challenge is not over yet…

👉 Next week is the FINAL WEEK, and we are going head-to-head with Madison Middle School—the current trophy holders.

We have one goal: bring the trophy back home to Sherman Junior High!

Let’s finish strong, Tide!

Every student, every day matters. Let’s keep the momentum going and show what it means to be part of the Sherman Junior High School family!

We can do this—let’s bring it home! 💪

Due to weather, the students attending the All Area Band performance today will now perform at 4:30pm and return to the school at 6:00pm. Please make updated arrangements to pick up your student at 6:00pm.

Progress reports were distributed on Friday. Students who return tomorrow with a parent signature or note in their agenda book indicating the progress report was reviewed, will receive an anchor remover.

Due to multiple weather-related school closures this winter, Boone County Schools must make a limited adjustment to our instructional calendar to ensure we meet required instructional time. As a result, tomorrow (Monday, February 16) now will be an instructional day for students rather than a Professional Learning day for staff. To continue supporting our educators’ required Faculty Senate time, students will be dismissed two (2) hours early tomorrow. Staff will remain on site following dismissal to participate in Faculty Senate. We are not making any other calendar changes at this time. If additional adjustments become necessary, however, we will promptly notify families. We appreciate your flexibility and continued support as we work to balance student learning, staff responsibilities, and weather-related disruptions. If you have questions, please contact the school office.

We want to inform families that the school received an automated, recorded threat on our voicemail system over the weekend. This was a swatting call received by multiple other schools in the Kanawha Valley area. Law enforcement officers were not able to substantiate the threat, but will remain on campus throughout the day as a precautionary measure. We will continue to maintain a secure presence and monitor visitors throughout the day. Please know that we are always committed to ensuring the safety of our students and staff.

Teachers are available on Schoology from 1:00-2:00 to assist students with any questions they may have on their day 3 snow packets. If you are unable to access Schoology you may also email your teacher or call the school to speak to them.

Math Field Day has been rescheduled for Thursday, February 5.

Sherman Jr. High School will host parent-teacher conferences tomorrow, Monday, January 12th, from 4-6pm. Students who have a parent/guardian attend will receive an anchor remover for the second semester. We look forward to having you!

Due to the cold weather, any family experiencing heating issues is welcome to come to the school tomorrow, December 15th between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM to get warm. A meal will be provided for enrolled students. Call the school between 10:00 and 11:00 AM if you would like to a meal prepared for your child. Staff will be available to assist you upon arrival.

Students need to complete DAY 2 of their snow packets! Assignments will be due no later than Wednesday, December 17th!

Join us tomorrow evening at 6:30 in the High School gymnasium for the Sherman High and Jr. High Winter Band Concert!

Parents and families are encouraged to complete the Capturing Kids’ Hearts Middle-of-the-Year Survey. Your feedback helps us gather valuable data to strengthen our school culture and climate.

While recognition is not the goal of our work, strong participation helps demonstrate our commitment and maintain eligibility for consideration as a Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase School.

As a thank you, students will receive an Anchor Remover when a snapshot of the completed survey response is shared. Please post or send a screenshot of your completed survey.

The survey link is below.

Thank you for supporting SJHS!
