Mrs. Batelka met with all students this past week to discuss the SMCPS Student Handbook and Code of Conduct.
A major focus of the presentation and discussion was that everyone has a "job" in our school. We discussed that our students' job is to "learn," and what it looks like when our students do their job.
- Students need to be responsible and attend school.
- Students need to be responsible and help keep our school safe.
- Students need to be respectful and wear clothing and shoes that are not distracting and are safe.
- Students need to be respectful and follow our school-wide routines.
- Students need to be ready to learn when it's time to work.
Families are encouraged to review and discuss the presentation with their child(ren).

As we work together as a school family on making positive choices, our students are focusing upon meeting school-wide goals.
Our students worked hard to reach our first overall school-wide ClassDojo percentage of 85% for one week.
Our students worked hard and earned Popsicles on the Playground on Tuesday, September 5th!
Let’s kick off the new school year with our
