SRMS Updates, January 19, 2024

Good morning, Sandy Run Families,

While this week has certainly been a unique one with the weather, it has been full of exciting events, nonetheless. While students had an early dismissal last Friday, our staff spent the afternoon engaged in meaningful professional development around connecting with our students and creating a school culture that best supports our students. Monday's holiday featured some exciting community events around the district, and were proud that Mr. Meyer and the SRMS Student Council hosted a Martin Luther King Day of Service event at Sandy Run where dozens of students, families, and staff members came together to collect goods to provide to local charities and families. Thanks to all who attended. Our boys basketball team's season got underway with a couple of strong performances in scrimmages this week - we look forward to an exciting season ahead!

We hope that you and your family are staying warm and safe on this snow day - this week is certainly making up for the past year or two and the lack of winter weather! In between sledding, shoveling, and relaxing, it could be a good time for students to check their Schoology pages as the end of the marking period is quickly approaching. If students have any questions or concerns, they should contact their teachers to make a plan and ensure their success. Please see the updates below for important information. Stay warm and I hope you enjoy this extended, snowy weekend.

Sincerely,
Dan Ortiz
