SSNL has a policy that does not permit anyone (including coaches, teacher-sponsors, or athletes) to smoke or vape on site, and they've outlined that any breaches may result in a written report or disciplinary action. We just want to make sure everyone is aware of these guidelines so our teams and school are never put in a difficult position. Thank you for your continued support and for helping us follow SSNL’s procedures. - Drama Practices

We’ve received several concerns from community members about students driving dirt bikes and ATVs recklessly. We ask parents/guardians to take time to speak with your child(ren) about the importance of road safety and the responsible use of these machines. Safe operation protects not only our students but also everyone in the community. This is not only a safety concern, but a legal one as well. - Doorways
