Good evening! We are two weeks away from the 2024-25 school year! I can tell you that tour staff is really excited about meeting our students and hearing about all the awesome things they did this summer. We will have an Open House on Monday, August 12. In an effort to keep the traffic spread out, we ask that if your last name begins with the letter A-H, please come between 4 and 5:30, and if your name begins with the letter I-Z, please come from 5:30-7:00. If those times do not work for you though, feel free to come to the time that works the best.
Open House is a great opportunity to get to know new staff members, or get to know a teacher who is new to your child, or even catch up with teachers they have had in the past! We encourage that parents bring school supplies (particularly for younger grades) so there won't be so much to carry on the first day.
Parents are also encouraged to bring signed, and dated EdChoice and Jon Peterson award letters, so we can accept the scholarship.
I would also like to remind everyone to complete their beginning of the year paperwork, which is all on OptionC. I sent out instructions for that a while back. We still have over 70% of our families who need to fill those out.
As you know, tax free back to school shopping is going on now through August 8. If you missed our list, it can be found here.
On behalf of the entire staff at SMS, we look forward to seeing you all on the 12th!
