Classroom Sneak Peek

The SMS art department hosted a guest artist on May 24, as part of the 8th grade pottery wheel unit. Adam Stevenson visited the 8th graders and showcased his work and demonstrated some advanced wheel throwing techniques for the students. Students were also able to ask questions about the process. This was a fun and engaging way to wrap up the unit for the 8th graders.

Healthy Minute from our Health Office

SUMMER REMINDERS

If your child has an Emergency Action Plan (related to allergies, asthma, diabetes, seizures, etc.) please be sure to have the paperwork and medication consent form completed AND SIGNED by your provider PRIOR to the first day of the 24-25 school year. It is very important to have the yearly forms completed with your child’s physician so we have the necessary parent and physician authorization for specialized health care procedures and treatment. Forms can be found on our district website, toggle over the "District" tab and click on health services to access the forms. Forms will also be sent home with students in their backpacks, please be on the lookout for them! Thanks, and have a great summer!
