Thursday June 15th, the 8th Grade Farewell Ceremony will be taking place in the SMS Gymnasium. This event begins promptly at 6:00.

• Students are expected to arrive no later than 5:30. They may enter through the rear doors by the gym and head directly to their advisory rooms. Parents and other guests can begin entering the gym and finding a seat at that time.
• The front rows of chairs will be reserved for students and staff.
• At the end of the ceremony, students will exit through the rear of the gymnasium and after all have left, families are welcome to join them.

We look forward to seeing you all next Thursday. Please contact me with any questions.

Big thanks to the 8th Grade team and all of the volunteers!

For the middle and high schools, we have created a way for parents to view their child's NHSAS score report from the PowerSchool Parent Portal.

Below are instructions to do so, if you would like to share with families.

1 Log into your PowerSchool Family Portal and select your middle or high school student.

2. At the top of the screen (see screenshot below) you will see under your child's name and student number, your child's NH State Assessment System (SAS) Student Access Code.

3. Make note of that number as you will need to later.

4. Under the NH SAS Student Access Code, there is a link named "Family Portal" which will take you to the New Hampshire SAS website where you can access your child's score report.

5. Click that link and it will take you to the New Hampshire Department of Education's NHSAS Family Portal (see screenshot below.)

6. Enter your child's Access Code

7. Enter your child's Date of Birth

8. Enter your child's first name

9. Click "Sign In".

Coaches Townsend and Pape would like to congratulate the ten SMS athletes who competed at the meet of champions in Manchester. This was the state championship for middle school track, and they competed against athletes from every town and division in the state of NH. Here are the results for athletes who finished in the top three places in their event: Griffin Schultz took 3rd place in long jump, then went on to take second place in both the 200 meter and 400 meter races. He was one hundredth of a second away from first in one race, and just missed the state record. The other athlete to place was Morly Johnson, who took first place in the discus competition, and is now the new state champion in this event with a throw of over 113 feet. Again, we are so proud, GO PUMAS!!!"

The SMS Softball Team ended its fantastic season with a 10-3 record. Congratulations on an unbelievable season!

Thanks Terry Berna!!
