SMS Weekly Update

Hello Stevenson Families!

We had a great first week back from mid-winter break. We had our first Parent University, which was a great success! Thank you to all the families who attended.

We take very seriously the input of our families. Please take the following Parent Perception Survey to provide feedback about our school.

Also, parents, please remember that you must show an ID in order to come into the building, as well as to sign out your child. Our school safety is our priority and this ensures we know who is entering our building.

Thank you so much for your continued support! Read on for the week ahead!

Go Saints!
Mrs. Kasper & Mr. Basista

Students who are currently in 6th and 7th grade will begin selecting their classes for the 25-26 school year this week.

Please take a look at the Middle School Course Selection Guide to review the different electives that will be offered to students.

The School of Choice application period for the 2025-2026 school year is open from February 24 – March 21, 2025. This allows families to apply for their child to attend any school outside of their designated attendance area within the district.

If you or someone you know is interested in applying, please complete the application by the deadline.

Our spring picture day is quickly approaching. Only students that pre-ordered Spring photos will be photographed on Picture Day. All orders must be placed by Wednesday, March 19.

Take a look at our focus areas for RAPS in March. 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.

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.
