Hello SMS Families!
I hope everyone had a great "short week". We have a lot going on this week, so let's get right to it. First, we will be testing grades 2-8 in the mornings this week on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to get our Fall baseline data. Please avoid scheduling appointments, or missing for any non emergencies.
We will have Grandparents Day on Thursday and Friday. RSVP's have been out for over two weeks, and the sign up period is now closed. It will be a tight fit, but we are looking forward to visiting with our amazing grandparents! Due to Grandparent's Day, we will have pizza at the school available for lunch on Thursday, and Friday will be a picnic outside day, so students should pack a lunch.
Looking ahead at the week of 9/16, midterm reports will be coming home. I would like to remind you though, parents have access to grades 24/7 on OptionC. I would also like to give everyone a heads up, that Kona Ice will be here on Friday, 9/20. Finally, although it is not listed in the hard-copy school calendar, we will dismiss on the 20th at 12:30. There will be no afternoon Ripley bus that day.
It has been a busy start to the year, but a good busy! Have a great week!
