On behalf of the administration at Shamokin Area Middle/High School, I am excited to welcome you to the 2021-2022 school year!  As we move forward from the COVID pandemic, we are looking forward to a successful school year filled with enriching experiences to ensure that our students reach their highest potential.  COVID has brought about many challenges for our staff and students.  This year we will be focusing a large amount of time and effort on bridging the learning loss gap that took place for many students.  Not only are we ready to help our students get back on track educationally, but we are also prepared to help students and families with any social and/or emotional needs due to COVID.  Now more than ever we need a strong partnership between parents and teachers in order to make difference in your child’s education.  As partners, we share the responsibility for our children’s success and want you to know that we will do our very best to carry out that responsibility.  We ask that you guide and support your child’s learning by ensuring that he/she: 1) Attends school daily and arrives on time, ready for the day’s learning experience. 2) Completes all homework assignments given by teachers. 3) Reads daily to develop a love for reading and to improve literacy skills. 4) Shares school experiences with you so that you are aware of his/her school life. 5) Informs you if he/she needs additional support in any area or subject. 6) Knows that you expect him/her to succeed in school and go on to higher learning or become an active member of the workforce.  We are proud of our school family and thank you for your support.  We will return to “normal”!  The building is ready, classrooms are ready, teachers are ready, and administration is ready.  The time is now to begin our journey back to the way it was and beyond.  We will have a great year and it will be the most successful ever because our Shamokin Area family is the BEST!!!!! 

GO INDIANS!!!
