A Note to Parents

Many of the links in this section take students off the SHPS website to other websites. Although we examine sites before posting them and make every effort to assure that the linked sites are appropriate to the age groups for which we recommend them, we do not control these sites and cannot be responsible for the content on these sites or links to other sites.

Note that, even on age-appropriate sites, not all information may be appropriate for your children. Please be aware of the sites that you children visit and the information that they view and apply appropriate standards for your children.
