WELCOME BACK SHEPARD MIDDLE SCHOOL
Hello Shepard Families!
The PTSO is excited for the 2024-2025 school year. We would like to extend a warm welcome to our new and returning families. We have been hard at work this summer to bring some great events to Shepard.

You can purchase lunch in advance. Our program, Lunch Solutions, supports many local restaurants with a variety of choices. Ordering opens Tuesday, August 6th. Ordering for the following week closes at 10:00 am on THURSDAY each week. Go to: http://ptgms.com/lunchsolutions/shepard
School Supplies 2024-25
If you ordered school supplies through the North Shore Coalition, the kits have been delivered to your home. Shepard’s recommendation is to bring in school supplies on the first day of school instead of on Spartan Day. That way, students can take their locks home and practice the combinations so they can feel confident navigating their lockers during the school year. If you are purchasing school supplies on your own, follow the list on the PTSO website.
6th Grade Back to School Bash
We are so excited to start this year off strong with this great event for our 6th graders: 6th Grade Back To School Bash - Friday, August 23rd 3:00-4:30 PM at Shepard. Please register on the PTSO site.
