Spencerport High School
Parent Guardian Update
3/10/23
Good afternoon,
This is Sean McCabe, the principal of Spencerport High School. I hope each of you have had a great week. Below are our updates for the week. If you have any questions, concerns or comments please reach out to me directly.
12th Grade Students-Caps and Gowns Picture: Students will be receiving their caps and gowns for graduation during our 100 Days until Graduation Celebration on March 15. We will then have our cap and gown pictures between March 21 and March 23 from 7:30 until 2:30. Students bring their caps and gowns with them and then simply get their picture taken when they have some free time during the school day (lunch, study hall, etc. If you have any questions please reach out to our 10th grade Assistant Principal Erin Shaw at 349-5229.
9th-11th Grade Students: Please note that if a 9th, 10th, or an 11th grade student needs to be dismissed during lunch, a study hall, or advisement their parent/guardian must contact our attendance office either by note or phone call to dismiss them for EACH incident. For example, we cannot accept one note for a student to be dismissed from study hall for the entire year. When students are in 12th grade they can earn a PEP pass (with parent permission) which would allow them the flexibility to leave during lunch or study hall without an individual note for each incident. This is a 12th grade privilege that is earned by students and then approved by their parents/guardians.
Parent Teacher Conferences: Our 2nd semester Parent Teacher Conferences are being held on Thursday, March 16 from 4pm - 7pm. Below is a link to sign up for these conferences. You may choose to meet with teachers in person, through Zoom, or by phone. You will need to indicate which type of meeting you need when you book your conference with each teacher. The link to sign up for conferences will close on Monday, March 13. Any questions can be directed to Amy Sullivan.
