Principal's Message

Greetings Pointer Students and Families,

October 31, 2025, is the end of Marking Period 1 for the 2025-26 school year. Report cards will be distributed on November 13, 2025. This is an excellent time to evaluate areas of academic strength and growth, as well as any academic support that may be beneficial during the second marking period. This year we have implemented two new initiatives targeting our 9th graders (9th graders On-Point) and our 10th and 11th graders (Mid-Point Matters) to identify additional academic, behavioral, and social-emotional supports for our students in need.

I’m extremely proud of the progress our students have made so far this school year. One of the metrics we consistently monitor is attendance. I am happy to report that our attendance rate is up by 0.3% and our chronic absentee rate has decreased by 2.58% from the same point in time last year.

As we prepare to begin a new marking period, all students and families are reminded of the following information, in support of academic achievement and ensuring a safe and supportive learning environment for all students:

Students should monitor their academic progress daily by logging into Schoology, checking their grades, assignment completion, and messages from their teachers.

As a reminder, SPHS is strictly enforcing the BCPS Cell Phone Policy. Please remind your student of the importance of following this and all expectations. The faculty and staff at Sparrows Point High School are here to support your student, and we welcome any opportunity to partner with you and your student in their success.

Thank you for your ongoing support of Sparrows Point High School. I look forward to our continued partnership throughout the 2025-26 school year.
