Participants will meet some of their teachers/teammates, explore the building, participate in a variety of activities, and learn how to open their locker.

During the Summer Olympics that open in Paris on Friday, Team USA will strive to positively represent our country and will continuously support their teammates.

Similarly, the SMS faculty and staff want to team up with our families and community to create the best possible educational experience for our students by positively representing our district and encouraging each other throughout the school year.

With this goal in mind the "Team SMS" open house is on Monday, August 5th from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m.

Parents/guardians and students can drop in during this window to meet the teachers, see the classrooms, gather information about Harmony/Canvas/Eventlink, and prepare for a great 2024-2025 school year.

Please park in the bus/activities lot and enter door #11 for this event.

We encourage you to read the handbook with your child(ren) and to contact us with any questions you may have.

Our fall sports season will soon be underway.

Cross country, football, volleyball, soccer, and boys tennis are the SMS fall sports.

Students should listen to the afternoon announcements for more information about tryouts and practices.

Make sure that your child has his/her physical in order to participate.

The FinalForms process must also be completed.

Eventlink will still be the platform that we use to communicate with parents/family members regarding practices and events.
