Parents,
We are off to a great start with successful back to School parties in nearly all grade levels and Dad's Club Dinner! With the first week of school under our belt, we hope you are all having a great first week and settling in to our 2021/2022 school year. We are looking forward to many more great events this fall.
Don't forget to order your Monday t-shirt. They are in the Corral and are $15. Please look at the Sign Up Genius for available hours. Don't forget the Corral is dependent on volunteers and that is how it stays open. Please see below if you are interested in volunteering.
We would love to get you involved in the SPA. We all have special talents and skills whether it is data entry at a computer, writing thank you notes, fundraising or decorating for an event. We know we can find the right position for you! Please look over our SPA volunteer form (click here) for more information and join us at the SPA Kick-off Coffee onTuesday, September 14th, at 8:45 a.m. outside in the Shelton Courtyard.
We hope you have a great beginning to the school year! If you have any questions for us, please click here.

11th Grade - We know everyone is excited to go back to school and get together with friends. We've planned two different back-to-school party options but, in an abundance of caution, have decided to postpone any get-together due to the rise of COVID-19 cases in our community. Rest assured, we will plan an event for the kids as soon as possible. We will also plan a parent get-together.
COMING SOON There are no new events at this time. Volunteer Opportunities
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE! CAN YOU HELP?
We have the following opportunities for volunteers:
#1 The CHARGER CORRAL
We need volunteers to work in the Charger Corral school spirit store! The Corral depends on its volunteers to be successful. Working in the Corral is easy, fun and it's a great way to become acquainted with other parents, the students, and the Shelton staff.
Hours of operation for the Corral during school hours will be announced at a later date.
For questions or to become a Charger Corral volunteer, click here!
#2 Volunteer for the SPA
The Shelton Parents' Association succeeds because of the work of our invaluable parent volunteers.
There are many volunteer opportunities available. Some functions can be done at home and many are of a limited duration.
If you are interested, please complete the online form (click here.)
If you have questions, please contact our Volunteer Chair (Julie Crozier) by clicking here.
Remember to attend the SPA Fall General Meeting, September 14, 2021 at 8:45 am. This meeting is an excellent opportunity to learn about the activities of the SPA and what volunteer opportunities might be of interest to you.

We at the Charger Corral have been thrilled at the response to our in-store purchase options.
THANK YOU!!
We know some of you have been disappointed when you cannot secure an appointment at the Charger Corral.
However, given the current environment with COVID we must limit the number of shoppers in the store at any time. We cannot have the store filled to the shelves with shoppers.
If you have an appointment, please check-in at the main entrance and inform the security officer you have an appointment. Please be on-time and please depart at the end of your appointment. REMEMBER: to proceed past the security desk you MUST have a mask - no exceptions. If you don't have an appointment, please don't show up - that's not helpful.
We are working with the school Administration to open as many appointments as feasible. We are operating week by week given the current environment.
For an appointment please click here for the Sign Up Genius.
The Corral Store is small and we need to practice social distancing, so we are limiting the number of shoppers to four (4) for 30 minutes.
We appreciate your cooperation and flexibility! |
