Iowa Algebra Aptitude Test
SMS teachers are in the process of recommending students to take the Iowa Algebra Aptitude test to determine the best middle school math placement for students and assess readiness for the rigors of an Honors math class. However, parents do have the option to request that their student take this test as well.
If your student is not currently in an honors or advanced 6th or 7th grade math class and you wish for your student to be considered for an accelerated math course, please complete this form. Students who are entered into this form will be given the opportunity to test to see if they are able to be considered for this path. The test will be administered mid-January. Please finalize your request by January 6, 2025. Thank you.

Damage to Student Chromebooks
As we integrate Chromebooks into our classroom, it's essential to emphasize the importance of appropriate care for these devices. Chromebooks are a privilege that enhances our learning experience, and we encourage students to treat them with respect.
Please remind your child to handle their Chromebook carefully, as any damage may lead to consequences, including potential fees for repairs. We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring that they maintain the device properly.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Together, we can ensure a positive learning environment for all our schools.
