Optimist Student of the Month
Congratulations to Addi Wann, out Optimist Student of the Month for November!
SMS Fall Dance
Handbook Reminder: 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. Our school dances are always fun events and we want to ensure all students have the opportunity to participate.
