Behavior Expectations at SMS
We have developed behavior expectations for all students at SMS. We have High Expectations and High Accountability for Everyone. Please take some time to read the content below so that you know and understand the process of discipline at SMS. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out with questions at any time.
Detentions
- No longer after school
- Will be served at 7:00 am and students need to report at that time to the main office

- Saturday detentions will be held at the high school for 2 hours
Progressive Discipline for minor behaviors

Arrival at SMS - Please read if you drive your child to school each day.
Please make sure that if you are dropping your child off at Door Q and/or Door R in the morning- that you arrive prior to 7:55am. Our doors will be locked at this time. If you happen to arrive after this time, please circle around the building to the main entrance and have your child report to the main office for a pass to class.
We need to make sure that your child is in attendance on time. If your child enters the building after 7:55am, he/she is late and has already been marked absent. In order to correct that, students must report to the main office and check in.
We have posted a sign at Door Q as a reminder. If the door is not open, please have your child enter through the main entrance at the front of the building instead.
Thank you Everyone for keeping our students safe at SMS.
HERE COMES THE BUS APP
"Here Comes The Bus" is an app for SCS families to track busing information and routes for their student(s), as well as real-time notifications.
The app and complementary website (www.herecomesthebus.com) - available on a smartphone, tablet, or laptop, or personal computer - enables parents to see the location of their child’s school bus on its daily route.
Download the "Here Comes the Bus" app to monitor daily transportation information. Families that utilized the app last year will need to delete last year’s student information and add their current year information in order to receive the latest routing details and updates. Click HERE for additional information and instructions on utilizing the app for your student's bus routes.
