- We are excited to announce our upcoming annual Shaw Middle School Career Day on Tuesday, March 11 from 7:30-9:30 am. We are once again looking for volunteers to come and speak to our students about their careers. Do you have a career that you would like to talk about with our students? If you are interested in participating, please reach out to the school counselors so we can send you more information and details about the event. Thanks for your time! Email: sreddig@washoeschools.net or Candyce.cardona@washoeschools.net or call 775-425-7777.
- Cell Phone Policy: As you have heard in multiple communications from the district, the WCSD cell phone policy has been updated. In order for students to focus on learning throughout the day, cell phones at all schools must be away for the day. Shaw has always been an “Away for the Day” school, but we have updated our policy and expectations. One key change is that students are required to put their cell phone in a backpack as cell phones may not be kept in a pocket or on a student’s body during the school day. At Shaw, students may continue to use their cell phones during their lunchtime, but we may need to reconsider this privilege if this prevents students from truly keeping their focus off cell phones/social media etc. during the learning parts of the day. We will continue to monitor and communicate regarding this lunchtime privilege. The attached Administrative Regulation 5810 outlines the increased disciplinary outcomes for students who violate this policy as well as actions taken when students violate the policy. In addition, information about this districtwide policy can be found here: Phone Away and Learn Today / Phone Away and Learn Today. Students will be taught the policy expectations tomorrow and throughout this week.
- Homework Club: Students may come to our Math-focused homework club in Room 320 or all-other-content area homework club in the library. Students may work on homework and if they need help, there is a certified teacher available. The hours are 2:00 - 3:30 on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Students must remain in the session for the full time unless the student shows us a text or call from you indicating that the student may leave early.
