Eagle Update for May 6th-10th
Principals Message
Happy Friday Eagles!
We have completed STAAR testing this week! Thank you teachers and parents for supporting your students during testing season. I'm excited to receive the results and begin to plan accordingly for next year. Hopefully, we will have the results the first week of June. Regardless, I will send an email letting you know when their scores are available.
Our students are ready to continue learning for the rest of the school year and are prepared to have lots of fun this month. Please make sure you check out the dates listed for your students field trips...there are a lot of upcoming field trips in the next few weeks.
TEACHER AND NURSE APPRECIATION WEEK is May 6th-10th!!! Thank you guys for all that you do! I hope the community and SMS spoil you this week. You deserve it!
And the SLAY award this week goes to Ms. Hodges! Congratulations! We appreciate all the planning, positivity, and rapport you've built with your students and the staff!

PTO Information
The SMS PTO Officers are moving up to High School, and without volunteers stepping in for next year, there will not be a MS PTO. This saddens us; however, our time has ended at MS. Please reach out to the PTO (email or Facebook) if you are interested in being an officer for the 2024-2025 school year. Officer elections will take place at the May meeting, May 14th, 6pm at the MS Library.
The forms given during science class for the 8th Grade Celebration trip sponsored by PTO are due to Mrs. Jones by May 1st. There are extra forms in the front office or at the link below.
