Sharon High School

Case Avenue, Sharon Middle and Sharon High School parents and guardians. Please note that we have been informed that the managers of the Marco's Pizza site on East State Street are having issues with a number of our students playing on site and with parents/guardians parking in their lots, blocking their business. The issues are as follows: 1. Students are playing on/around the store's dumpster. This is dangerous and when asked to stop the students have not done so. NO Student is to be on the property after school unless being picked up. Disciplinary measures will be taken for those who refuse to listen. 2. They don't mind if parents use the parking lot, they just ask that they leave the front 3 spots at the building for their customers and use only the back spots to pick up students. Parents have been known to argue or ignore when they're asked to move. This business is kind enough to make their space available at pick up time but will be notifying the police should parents/guardians refuse to cooperate with this request.

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 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.
