Homecoming 2024 Homecoming 2024

Friday, October 4 is an early release day. In the morning, students will take part in the SMS Wacky Olympics. Academic Teams will provide information to students and organize them for different relay events. Dismissal is at 11:00 so that students may attend the Homecoming Parade in the afternoon.

Handbook Review Handbook Review

Wacky Olympics is an exciting event and a highlight of Homecoming Week at SMS. Our new Behavior Management Plan includes a section on Probation, which states, "A student that has recently received Out of School Suspension (OSS) or has accumulated 5 days of In-School Suspension (ISS) will be placed on probation for a period of ten days. While on Probation, students may not attend 1) Wacky Olympics, 2) School Dances, 3) Class Trips, or 4) PTO Sponsored After-School Events. Students who are not passing at least five classes are also considered to be on probation (SMS Student-Parent Handbook Page 23)."


Parents, please take time to review the handbook, especially the behavior management section (beginning on page 16) with your student, if you have not done so already. We are looking forward to fun activities during Homecoming Week and want to ensure all students have the opportunity to participate.

District Security Information District Security Information

In lieu of recent events around the country, we have had questions from parents about security measures in place at Seaman Unified School District. Ensuring the safety and well-being of our students and staff is our top priority and we wanted to take a moment to make you aware of the role our district security department plays in the day-to-day operations on campus.


Currently, our district employs six full-time school police officers year-round. Five of these officers are directly employed by USD 345, while one is contracted through the Shawnee County Sheriff's Office. All of our school police officers are sworn law enforcement professionals who are armed and stationed within our school buildings throughout the school day.


Officers are strategically stationed in our schools and support the safety of each school in our district. Each officer undergoes specialized training in youth interaction and is intimately familiar with the layout and dynamics of our school facilities. This ensures they are well-prepared to handle situations that may arise while prioritizing both safety and support for our students.


We remain committed to maintaining a secure environment where learning can thrive. Thank you for your continued support and partnership in keeping our schools safe.
