📣Attention Parents of Upcoming Sherman High School 9th Grade Students 📣
Before the end of the school year, Mr. Hunt and Mrs. Castle met with our 8th-grade students to discuss opportunities available to them as they transition to Sherman High School. Students who expressed interest in taking Honors classes were provided with informational packets and enrollment materials.
In addition, 9th graders have the opportunity to participate in the Adventure Tourism Program through BCTC, taught by Bobbie Miller.
We encourage families to discuss these options with their students to help them make informed decisions about their high school coursework and future goals.
If you have questions about Honors classes, please contact Sherman High School. For questions about the Adventure Tourism Program, please contact Boone Career and Technical Center or Bobby Miller.
Good evening,

Thank you for your understanding and support as we celebrate our students and cheer on our Lady Tide!

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.
