Bison Families!

RESPONSIBLE: Attendance Matters
Attendance supports each student's academic success. Beyond the classroom, consistent attendance is a critical workforce readiness skill. Showing up on time, being present, and demonstrating reliability are habits that lay the foundation for future career success.

As a school, we AIM for 90% attendance every day, week, month and school year!

To help families stay informed, staff will begin reaching out this week if your student has 3 or more absences to offer support and share their office hours.

Key Attendance Policy Reminders:
  • 10 Minutes Late: Counts as an absence.
  • 10 Consecutive Days Missed: Results in a drop from class (no credit).
  • 10th Absence: Placed on an Attendance Contract.
  • 20th Absence: Results in loss of credit and a "W" on the transcript.
  • Credit Loss Rule: Students will lose credit in any course that they have missed 20 or more times in a semester regardless of their course grade. Both excused and unexcused absences count toward this total (absences for school-sponsored activities do not count).
How Families Can Help:
  • Encourage your student by regularly checking their Infinite Campus account.
  • If you need help setting up Infinite Campus reminders when your student is late, please check the IC Help Desk at https://www.laramie1.org/service-desk-and-support
  • Absence Calls: Parents, please call the school when your student is sick or will be late due to uncontrollable circumstances.

Thank you for partnering with us to build strong families and keep our Bison engaged and on track!

Join the Herd: Enter a Float in the 2026 South High Homecoming Parade!

Dear Community Partner,
This year, South High School is trading hallway decorating for the parade! We are channeling our campus energy into building floats and creating one massive community celebration.

Our 2026 Homecoming theme is The Greatest HoCo on Earth (Circus-themed)! Whether you represent a local business, youth organization, non-profit, or civic group, we invite you to decorate a vehicle, build a float, or march with us alongside our Bison students, staff, and families.

Event Logistics:
  • Date: Friday, October 2, 2026
  • Time: 2:00 PM – 2:45 PM (Vehicle lineup begins at 1:30 PM; parade steps off at 2:10 PM)
  • Staging Location: South High School West Parking Lot
  • Parade Route: Departs SHS along Cribbon Ave, turns right on Dey Ave, right on W. Jefferson Rd, right onto Snyder Ave, and returns through the roundabout to SHS.
  • Entry Deadline: Wednesday, September 23, 2026, at 5:00 PM
Key Participant Reminders:
  • Sign-Up Required: Each driver/vehicle must complete a registration form to reserve an assigned staging spot (especially organizations bringing multiple vehicles).

  • Campus Rules: School rules apply across the entire route—no tobacco, vaping, or pets permitted, and please help keep our neighborhoods clean by securing all decorations.

Reserve your spot in the lineup today:

Thank you for your continued partnership and support of our students. We look forward to seeing your circus-themed floats on October 2nd!
 

9/11 Moment of Silence

On 9/11, we invited the school community to join us at the flagpole for a moment of silence to honor the innocent lives taken too soon. We hold deep reverence for the first responders who answered the call without hesitation and the brave men and women in uniform who have answered it every day since. 

Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your unwavering dedication to keeping us safe.

United we stand.
