General Announcements

Parent Forum: October 29
Join us for our second Parent Forum of the year on Wednesday, October 29 at 6:30 p.m. in Foundation Hall. The evening’s topic, Protect Young Eyes, focuses on the impact of technology on youth mental health.

Dual Enrollment Deadline with Seton Hill
If your student is currently enrolled in a class eligible for dual enrollment college credit through Seton Hill, please note that the enrollment deadline is Monday, November 10. Participation is optional—it’s simply an opportunity for students to earn college-level credit while taking the course at Salpointe. For more details, please visit your student’s Google Classroom page.
Socktober Sock Donation Drive
IT’S SOCKTOBER, LANCERS! This month, National Honor Society is hosting a sock donation drive to support the Kino Border Initiative (KBI), a vital organization that provides aid to migrant families stranded at the border. Although recent policy changes have reduced immigration numbers, KBI continues to serve dozens of families each day—families in urgent need of basic essentials. With limited funding, even simple items like sturdy socks make a big difference.
Here’s how you can help: donate new, durable socks (all sizes welcome) now through November 7. Students can drop donations in one of five boxes located on the lower level of the 900 Building, each representing a different NHS group. The box with the most donations wins a prize for that group!
Share a pair, show you care!
