We are excited to invite our families to join us for the 6th Grade Student & Family Thanksgiving Luncheon on Friday, November 21st, at 12:00 PM, in celebration of American Education Week.
Our dedicated cafeteria team will be preparing a traditional Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings. Families planning to attend are asked to RSVP using [THIS FORM] by November 19.
Due to limited space, we kindly ask that attendance be limited to parents only. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate younger siblings. In addition, the Thanksgiving meal will be the only lunch option available for 6th grade students on that day.
This luncheon is one of our most cherished and well-attended events of the year, and we look forward to celebrating this special occasion with our 6th grade families!

Yes, we said teachers… who will it be this year? What will they do?? There’s only one way to find out—be there!

As we continue into the fall months, it's crucial to maintain a healthy environment in our school to protect students during the respiratory virus season. If your child is ill, please consult the following RTMSD guidelines to determine if they should attend school:
Keeping your sick child at home will help them recover sooner and prevent the spread of germs.
Reminding your student to cover their cough and the importance of good handwashing goes a long way in preventing the spread of bacteria and viruses. Proper nutrition and getting plenty of rest helps to maintain their immune system. Please remind your student not to share water bottles, cups/glasses and eating utensils.
A reminder about our district medication policy. Students are not permitted to have any medication with them at school. Only inhalers and EpiPens with self-carry doctor's orders are permitted. Tylenol, Ibuprofen, and Tums are available at the health office with parent permission. If your student needs any other medication at school, please see the Administrations of Medication policy for instructions.
Thank you for helping us keep our school community healthy.
All members of our SLMS community are members of our PTG. Your participation in attending family events, supporting fundraisers, attending meetings, or volunteering is greatly appreciated and supports all of our students. A $10 donation per family is suggested; however, any amount is appreciated.
How can you donate....
1. ONLINE using PAYPAL.
