February 2021 Calendar

We have received reports of a telemarketing agency that is using Sharon City School District phone numbers in attempt to scam Sharon residents for money. Specifically, requesting that funds be placed in an Amazon account. Please note that this is a fraud and that NO Sharon City School District group will ever use telemarketing for such purposes. If you are contacted please inform the Sharon Police and your phone company.

The 5th and 6th grade GIRLS BASKETBALL intramural league will begin this SUNDAY, January 31st from 3-4:30 in the high school gym. The girls will be picked for teams and will receive information on practice days/locations as well as game times. Please be prompt. Also, if your daughter still has her jersey, please make sure she brings it. We look forward to seeing everyone back in the gym!

The COVID-19 relief packages recently passed by the United States Congress contain numerous benefits for families financially impacted by the pandemic. Some of these benefits are available to students who are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals. Even though all Sharon students are currently receiving free meals under the current Federal waiver, if you feel your child would qualify for free or reduced-price school meals under normal school circumstances, we encourage you to submit an application (if you have not already done so) as soon as possible so you may become eligible for these new benefits. Applications are available by contacting your child's school cafeteria. this application will then be used to determine which benefits your child(ren) may be eligible for. This will not impact your child's current meal status.

Congratulations to Sharon Tiger Freshman, Mark Cattron, who broke the Sharon High Record in the 100 meter backstroke on Saturday 1/23 vs Hickory. Mark's record of 57.42 seconds breaks the record set by his brother Zach!
