Announcements

  • If it is feasible, a student may transfer to a school if it is closer to his/her transitional housing.

  • The receiving school may not prevent or delay the enrollment of a homeless child by requiring proof of residency or lack of documentation such as immunization records.  

  • Transportation for homeless must begin within 5 school days, but sooner if possible.

• Student Drop-Off & Pickup at SMS

  Parents & Guardians of Shikellamy Middle School Students, Please adhere to the drop off procedures when bringing your student to school in the morning.  For safety reasons, vehicles should stay in the drop off lane and not drop students off in the parking lot to avoid waiting in line.  Students should get out of the vehicle when a sidewalk is available and walk to the front entrance to speed up the process. Alternatively, vehicles may drop students above the school on Prince St. and have them use the ramp and sidewalk to proceed to the front entrance. Thank you for your cooperation with these procedures.  This will help to make sure all students arrive to school safely and on-time.
