Sharon High School

Sharon Middle and High School will be moving to full virtual instruction status beginning tomorrow, Friday, April 16, 2021 and return to in-person instruction on Tuesday, April 20, 2021. This move is being made following consultation with the PA Department of Health and is due to an increase in the number of positive COVID-19 cases that have been reported by individuals in the building. The parents of any student who may have been in close contact with an infected individual have been notified and those students have been placed on quarantine. The building will be isolated for 24 hours and then undergo a complete deep clean before the students and staff return for instruction. Students have been asked to take their Chromebooks and chargers home today. If they did not do so, please reach out to your child’s teacher for direction. Due to this move to virtual all activities at the Middle/High School have been suspended and will reactivate on Tuesday, April 20.

Community organizations are to be advised that the use of any Sharon City School District facility requires a facilities use agreement PRIOR to use. Any organization found using a District facility without permission will be reported for trespass. These facilities include but are not limited to: School gymnasiums, pool, outdoor recreational and study areas, Tiger Stadium, Hadley field, Jefferson field, Wengler field, Cordia Commons field. Thank you.

Dear Facility Patrons of Sharon City School District, During the Covid pandemic The Sharon City School District has worked diligently to maintain our facilities both inside and outside school buildings in order to keep both our students and employees safe. In July of last school year, under the terms of the district health and safety plan, we stated that we could begin to receive requests for use of outside facilities only that included the locations of Sharon Tiger Stadium, both Jefferson and Wengler ballfields, all practice sites at Hadley and Westerman, and practice fields at Sharon Middle/HS. Patrons requesting to use these sites were asked to submit a completed facility contract, certificate of insurance, and a detailed mitigation plan that followed all guidelines from Governor Wolf, CDC, and Sharon City School District's Health and Safety Plan. It was also stated that once received, such requests would then need to be approved by the Board of Education. It has come to our attention that outside patrons both inside and outside of Sharon are just showing up to our properties and holding organized games and practices without approval from the Board of Education and during Sharon student athletic practices without mitigation in place. This will not be tolerated. Please be advised that if any outside organization not associated with the Sharon City School District is found on any property without proper approval and paperwork on file, you will be asked to leave and the Sharon City Police Department will be contacted. If you want to use our facilities we kindly ask that you follow the procedures. If you have any questions about the use of facilities, please contact Sharon M/HS Assistant Principal, Mrs. Dawn Blair at 724-983-4030.

Case Avenue, Middle School and High School parents and guardians. Please be informed that parking at Marco's Pizza Shop is no longer permitted. As I mentioned in my post from February 22, 2021, the manager of the store had asked for cooperation when parking in the lot, using only limited spots and not allowing students to run between cars etc. Unfortunately, this has not happened, and there has since been an accident and an child injured. Therefore, beginning immediately, cars parking in the lot at drop off and dismissal will be ticketed and towed. We thank the staff at Marco's for their willingness to try and resolve this issue prior to having to make this decision.
