Senn-Thomas Middle School

Good afternoon! I hope you had a great weekend. We are excited about the upcoming week, and we are looking forward to seeing our students on Monday morning. Please take a few minutes to read through this week's updated newsletter, and feel free to call or email if you have any questions.

• We will need to cancel tutoring this week due to a few scheduling conflicts, but we will be working on making those adjustments and will resume tutoring next week. Thank you for your understanding!

• If you need any support or assistance with the parent portal, please complete the form included below. Mrs. McClain or Ms. Drury will call you to help with your questions.

• Please be sure to remind your child to charge his or her Chromebook. In addition, please remind them to bring their chargers with them in case they need to charge their Chromebook during the day.

• We will not be in session on Friday, February 14th and Monday, February 17th.

Feel free to email or call if you have any questions. Have a wonderful week!

Thank you,

Families may purchase Rose Grams using this Omella QR code (set 'tips' to zero) and students may purchase from their 1st or 5th hour teachers.

Join The STMS Annual Ronald McDonald House Soda Tab Collection Competition this March. This annual event is organized by the STMS National Junior Honor Society and is a friendly competition between advisory classes. All tabs collected will benefit the Ronald McDonald House in St. Louis. Collection takes place during the month of March.

Please help us by reminding your child about the importance of school attendance. Missing just two days a week adds up quickly and creates a situation where students fall behind in their learning. If there is anything we can do to help support you, please let us know. We track student attendance and will communicate with families if a student's attendance falls below 90%.

The graphics below illustrate how we are doing with attendance up to this point. Every single day matters. Thank you for your help!
