🧢✨ At SHMS, learning is always on and hats are always off! 📚
Wearing hats can be distracting in class, so keeping them off and in lockers helps students stay focused and ready to learn. ✅
🎒 Students can wear hats to school, but during the day they stay off and in lockers.
👨👩👧👦 Families, we encourage you to review these expectations with your students. Check out the full student handbook here:
