End of Second Six Weeks and First Trimester
Report cards will be published in Harmony Family Access on Wednesday, November 13th.
Students' grades from the first six weeks and second six weeks of each course are averaged to create a trimester grade. It is labeled "Final" on their report card.
Eligibility for extracurricular activities is based on students' six week grades.
Eligibility for end-of-year medals is based on trimester grades. Medals are awarded by GPA, not by all As or by all As and Bs.
Gratitude Gazette
Each year SMS launches the Gratitude Gazette during the month of November. It is an opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to express their gratitude for people that we spotlight each day.
If you would like to share your gratitude for SMS folks, here are the groups that we're highlighting this week:
Monday, November 4th - math teachers
Wednesday, November 6th - science teachers
Thursday, November 7th - social studies teachers
Friday, November 8th - related arts teachers
Recipients will receive their messages at the end of each day. The Gratitude Gazette has been a positive experience for the past three years, so all SMS students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to participate.
Winter Sports Season
Winter sports are basketball, cheer, swimming, and wrestling.
Students should listen to the afternoon announcements for updates about practices and competitions.
Eventlink is the platform that we use to communicate with parents/family members regarding practices and events.
