June has arrived and our school year is winding down. Students have two more in-person class days next week and then they are on to their summer activities. Students who need more time to complete their work will have an opportunity to work with their teachers on Wednesday, June 9 and Thursday, June 10 in-person. As we prepare for the end-of-year celebration of graduation and finish classes, we are also completing our hiring process. We are excited to introduce the following new members of our Stowe High School team.

As a reminder, please be sure your student completes the Health Screening Form before arriving at school. Our health screening greeters will continue to meet students outside and check in with them to ensure the screening questionnaire has been completed and they are feeling well. We can complete the form with your students if they forget or need assistance.
