Sharon-Mutual Public Schools

Let's have some fun!

Pickup of high school student items on April 1 and 2 is from 9 a.m. to noon. Students will need their items in order to begin classes Monday, April 6.

IMPORTANT!!! Sharon-Mutual students in grades 9-12 should come to the high school office on Wednesday, April 1 or Thursday, April 2 to pick up the following items: Graduation caps and gowns, honor cords, sashes, medals Chromebooks and chargers Calculators and chargers if needed Locker contents Pay lunch bills Pay bills for missing or damaged items Please observe the social distancing restrictions at all times. DO NOT enter the buildings under any circumstances. The procedure will be that you ring the doorbell on the west side of the high school building, and then step back 8 feet from the table outside. We will bring your items to you and place them on the table and then return inside the building. You may then approach the table and retrieve your items. It may be helpful if you have a list when you come of what you need to pick up and then check the bag to ensure you have everything. DO NOT return books, uniforms or other school items at this time. We will ask you to bring them when appropriate next school year. Any locker room items will need to be retrieved at a later date when the virus ordeal is ended and it is safe to do so. We appreciate your cooperation in all of this. Classes begin online April 6. We will be publishing further details as we progress.

Mrs. Green has sent out a survey to her students to determine the best day of the week and time to have a live class. If you are in Mrs. Green’s math class, please complete the survey sent to your school email. Thank you!
