August 2019

We hope you have had a wonderful summer with your families. The Shirley Heim staff has been working hard to prepare for this new school year. The first day of school will be Monday, August 12th and they look forward to welcoming our students.

Open House is Wednesday, August 7, from 4:00-7:00 p.m. In order to accommodate all our families and provide adequate parking, we ask that families attend Open House based on the first letter of the student’s last name:

A-G   4:00-5:00 p.m.

H-O   5:00-6:00 p.m.

P-Z    6:00-7:00 p.m.

Class schedules will be available on Open House night.

P.E. uniforms will be on sale for our 7^th and 8^th graders - $10 for shirts and $10 for shorts. Payments can be made online. Sixth graders do not dress out for P.E. It is no longer a requirement that P.E. uniforms be purchased through the school, however, 7^th and 8^th grade students must dress out for P.E., and P.E. clothes must adhere to the SCPS dress code policy. Please refer to the SCPS Code of Conduct for the dress code policy.

Please remember to stop by the PTO table during Open House. We will be selling spirit wear, so come check it out!  

Additionally, we have Shirley Heim personalized water bottles for sale.

Returning students need to make sure they do not have outstanding textbooks or library books before they return to school this year.

Tdap shot documentation must be on file with the clinic for all students prior to entering seventh grade by August 12, 2019. Sports Physicals are also due prior to fall sport tryouts at the beginning of the school year.
