SMS WEEKLY UPDATE
February 10-February 14
Hello Stevenson Families!
The Week in Review
Hello Stevenson Families!
It was another great week here at SMS! Our basketball and wrestling teams had victories over their opponents, several students were able to go on field trips, and we began talking about our next RAPS party and our 8th grade events. We're looking forward to all we've got going on this week!
It's National School Counselor Week! A special shout out to our school counselors, Ms. Alvarado, Ms. Reinink, and Mrs. Shecter. They do an incredible job working with our students each and every day. They are some of the most popular people in our building, and it is because students know they can go to them and have someone to listen and provide they support they need. I'm truly honored to work alongside such amazing counselors! If they've had an impact on your or your student, please be sure to send them an email to let them know how grateful you are for them!
This upcoming week is our SPIRIT WEEK! Please see the visual below with each day's theme!
Also, please see some amazing resources below to celebrate Black History Month!
Please read on for the week ahead!
Go Saints!
Mrs. Kasper & Mr. Basista

Spirit Week
Student Entry into Home Sporting Events
Students who are interested in attending the home sporting events must have zero tardies AND must purchase a ticket with PBIS points at their lunch.
Tickets will cost 20 PBIS points. Students must not have any tardies on the day of the game for Monday games, or any tardies the week of the game for Wednesday games. Any tardies in those time frames will disqualify a student from attending the game.
When at the game, we have the following expectations:
1. Students are seated in the student section, unless seated with a parent or guardian.
2. No outside food or drink is allowed. Students will not bring in food or drink from local stores.
3. We will use appropriate language.
4. We will clean up after ourselves.
5. We will encourage our team in an appropriate manner, and will exhibit good sportsmanship.
Failure to meet these expectations will result in dismissal from the game.
Be ready to cheer on our team! Go Saints!

RAPS Focus Areas for February
Take a look at our focus areas for RAPS in February. In each class every day, students are able to earn 2 PBIS points for following the behavior expectations in this area. Students will be able to use their PBIS points to purchase items in our school store, replacement IDs, and admission to sporting events.
Bus Cancellations
If your child’s bus is canceled, please make sure to inform the school by calling the attendance line or speaking with our counseling secretary Ms. Greenshields. Let them know that the absence is due to a bus cancellation. The secretary will mark your child’s attendance with a “B” for bus cancellation, which will not count against them for truancy purposes. You can send Ms. Greenshields an email at greenshieldsn@wwcsd.net.
