The Virginia Department of Transportation will be performing critical deck rehabilitation work along I-81, just south of exit 269, the next two weeks. The right lane of northbound I-81 will be closed from 8 p.m. Monday, Sept. 8, through the evening of Wednesday, Sept. 10. During the right lane closure, the exit 269 off-ramp from northbound I-81 will be closed.

September is Attendance Awareness Month and we want to thank everyone who is making sure that attendance is a priority! We’ve seen steady improvement over the last four years and had an attendance rate of over 96% in August. Attendance is essential to academic success. Please continue to help your child build good attendance habits.

Have a great weekend!

Our Triplett Tech Culinary Arts students served up their first Staff Meal of the year on Thursday. Under the direction of Culinary Arts Instructor Paje Cross, the students produced a delicious menu of hamburgers, waffle fries, zucchini casserole, a fully stocked salad bar, two homemade pie options and more!

Triplett Tech held their senior breakfast Wednesday morning! Students were treated to pancakes, eggs, and bacon before the first bell. #triplettproud

Congratulations to the division winners of the annual Ag Olympics! Competing in teams of four in a race to see who could complete a series of tasks that included an egg toss, finding pennies in a tub full of hay, lassoing, hobby horsing, a three-legged race, and putting a shirt on a goat, the Faiths (Junior Division), 2 Peat (Senior Division) and the Poor Pig Farmers (Seasoned Division) came out on top!

Thank you to all of our FFA Advisors and students who helped organize this fun event to cap a busy week at the Shenandoah County Fair and to everyone who competed in front of family and friends.

Thank you so much to Karen Caspersen and Just Because for their generous donation of 30 keyboards to the SCPS music departments!

These portable and rechargeable keyboards were delivered to Strasburg High School by Matt Strosnider with Shenandoah Music, Inc. on Wednesday and will benefit students across the division as more are delivered and distributed to our schools. Their touch sensitive capabilities will allow for more expressive and dynamic musical performances, and the fact that they don't have to be plugged in to play will make it much easier for our music teachers to arrange their classrooms for students to learn and play.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Triplett Tech Pavilion at the Shenandoah County Fair to see our Triplett TEch students in action!

Students from our Auto Tech, Collision Repair, Aviation, Health Science, EMT, Cosmetology, Culinary Arts, Early Childhood Education and Criminal Justice classes had tables set up with interactive activities for kids to learn about all of the fun and innovative things they're studying in class.
