Good Morning SMS Families!
Hard to believe, but we are officially two weeks out from the beginning of the 2025-26 school year! I hope everyone has had a great summer, and continue to enjoy these last couple weeks, but I wanted to touch base with you so we can hit the ground running on August 13.
Open House- Our annual Open House is set for Monday, August 11. If your last name begins with A-K you are encouraged to come between 6:00-7:00 pm. If your last name begins with L-Z, then you are encouraged to come between 7:00-8:00. Open House is an opportunity to meet your child's teacher, drop off school supplies, check out our classrooms, and take care of any business in the office. Kona Ice will also be on site, if anyone would like to purchase a cool treat!
eForms- We have had about one-third of our eforms filled out so far. If you have not completed them yet, please fill out these forms as soon as possible. They are mandatory for us to have on file, and the state funding form DIRECTLY AFFECTS the amount of state funding we receive to provide extra help for our children, so they are all important. Here are the instructions for you to fill them out.
Are you receiving alerts? If you did not receive this message via email and text, please let me know and I will try to get your information confirmed in our parent alert system.
EdChoice/Jon Peterson Scholarships- I checked on the status' of everyone's scholarship application, and it looks like now that everyone who turned in their paperwork have now been awarded. If you have not received an award letter yet, you should soon. Please sign those and bring them to Open House. If for some reason you can't make it to Open House, you can mail or email it to me as well.
Yearbooks- The 2024-25 SMS School Yearbook is in, and it looks great! Huge thank you to Amber Noel for taking on this project! They will be available at Open House, and are available now if you would like to pick yours up ahead of time. Please remember to help Amber out this school year by sending her pictures throughout the year from various school functions.
Website- I would also encourage all of our families to visit our website, as we work very hard to keep information there updated, and many of the questions you have are easily found.
I'm sure no one is ready for summer to be over, but we are definitely looking forward to seeing our friends again! Have a great day!
