SMMS Weekly Update

We understand things happen and circumstances change over the course of the school year. Please use this form at any time during the year to update your personal information on file with the school. If you have any questions, please call Ms. Hite in our main office at 304-274-5030.

To ensure we are providing positive learning environments and limitless opportunities for our students, we are participating in the West Virginia School Learning Environment Survey for parents/caregivers, students, and staff.

These surveys are conducted online and provide critical information about the learning/teaching environment, the health and well-being of students and staff, and support for parents.

Surveys are due by March 7! Please contact us with any questions.

Thank you in advance for your support and participation!

Additionally, if you do not want your child to participate in the West Virginia School Learning Environment Survey for Students, please click the link below and print or email the form to your student's teacher.

Parents, this month for our IXL challenge, we offered Bingo boards for each grade level. Students used those boards to guide their work during period 5 each day. We saw tremendous growth during this incentive. Thanks for supporting our efforts!

Congrats to our students who got BINGO on their boards this week

and got to SPIN THE WHEEL!

We are proud to announce that our school is piloting a program with STOPit Solutions, a nationally recognized leader in school safety and wellness.

Through this partnership, everyone in our school community has access to the STOPit anonymous reporting app – a powerful tool designed to deter and promptly address instances of bullying, school violence, self-harm, and inappropriate behaviors.

With the STOPit app, users can anonymously submit tips, attach photo or video evidence, and privately message school leaders with the necessary information to help everyone involved.

In addition, when a student or anyone in our school community needs immediate support, the STOPit app provides direct access to Crisis Text Line. Users can anonymously text with counselors (day or night) until they feel safe and calm.

We kindly urge parents/caregivers to download the STOPit app and become familiar with its features. If your child has shared a concern with you or you have witnessed something concerning at the school, please don’t hesitate to report it.

When you submit a report through the STOPit app, it immediately gets routed to someone at the school who can help. By providing us with information in real-time, our school team can quickly provide support to the student(s) involved and prevent the incident from escalating to something more serious.

We encourage everyone in our school community to download the STOPit app. Additionally, the app will be downloaded on all of our school's BCS issued devices.

The STOPit app is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
