SchooLinks:

Click here to access the SHS Counseling Department's new SchooLinks webpage, which contains the slide presentation and video tutorials regarding all things SchooLinks! 


Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership:

The HOBY State Leadership Seminar is a nationally recognized leadership program for current Sophomore students.  Students take part in exercises designed to be self-reflective, better themselves and others through community involvement and connect with other high school students throughout the state of Ohio. Students will meet state leaders and discover how personal, group, and societal leadership can lead to societal change. This year, the Western Ohio HOBY conference is scheduled for JUNE 6-9 at OHIO NORTHERN UNIVERSITY in Ada, Ohio. Students interested in being selected and representing SHS must be available during that time frame. To be considered for the nomination, students must submit an essay, typed, to the guidance office answering the question, “What does leadership mean to you?” Responses should be limited to 200 words or less. Please see your English teacher or Mr. Wilhite for more information. Essays are due by December 1.



Advisory (Homeroom) Schedule for Early Release Days:?

For the first time, SHS will be having monthly advisory periods (homeroom) for the 2023-2024 school year. Advisories will be held on Early Release Days each month. The next advisory period will be Wednesday, December 13th.  For the first semester advisories, SHS counselors will assign activities for students to complete in SchooLinks, which is our college and career portal (new this year and replaced Naviance).

With this being a trial period for our advisory, there could be some changes to this as we move through the year. We are very excited about the impact this will have on our students, and we appreciate your support and patience as we trial our advisory period.

Schedule for Advisory (Homeroom) is below:

Period 1- 7:30-8:08

Sandy Hook Promise:

The State of Ohio has implemented two new laws to support our students and place emphasis on the importance of emotional and physical safety of students and staff. To create safe and supportive learning environments in Springboro Schools, we will be focusing on Erin’s Law and House Bill 123 (Safety and Violence Education (SAVE Our Students Act) throughout the course of the 2023-2024 year and beyond. 

Springboro Intermediate, Springboro Junior High School and Springboro High School students and staff will be focusing on HB123 through the Sandy Hook Promise. Please see more about Sandy Hook Promise below:


ABOUT SANDY HOOK PROMISE

Sandy Hook Promise is a national nonprofit organization led by several family members who lost loved ones at the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on December 14, 2012. Our sole purpose is to prevent gun violence so that no other parent experiences the senseless, horrific, and preventable loss of their child.

 

Sandy Hook Promise prevents gun violence by teaching adults and youth how to recognize the signs and signals of individuals who may be at-risk of hurting themselves or others, and how to intervene to get them help. We train youth and adults, at no cost, in four evidence-based “Know the Signs” programs. For more information on Sandy Hook Promise, please visit: www.sandyhookpromise.org.


Under HB123, students in grades 6-12 are required to receive one hour of instruction in social inclusion, one hour of instruction in violence prevention and one hour of instruction in suicide prevention per school year. These topics are crucial for fostering a safe and supportive learning environment, promoting positive relationships among students and equipping them with the knowledge and skills to navigate challenges they will face throughout their lives.  


The first lesson, addressing social inclusion, will be on December 7th, 2023. Future dates and topics will be provided in your school’s Principal’s Update.


We recognize parents play a vital role in their child’s education and we value your partnership. We believe that working together with families creates the most supportive environment for our students. However, we understand families may have different comfort levels with this subject matter. If you do not wish for your child to participate in these lessons, please click Here. If you have further questions, please contact Andrea Cook at [email protected].
