Last week the Sultan Technology Student Association put on a STEAM Fair at SMS! Students submitted projects related to science, technology, engineering, art, and math. A great time was had by all!

We are so proud of our Marching Band! On April 27th they participated in the Jr. Apple Blossom Parade. Great job Skyhawks!

A quick reminder that if a student is tardy to school in the morning, he/she must report to the office and print off a tardy pass. School starts at 7:50 and any student arriving after that is considered tardy. Tardiness due to dental/doctor appointments with a parent note/call or late buses will be excused.

Unexcused tardies will result in the following consequences:

• At 5th tardy – Lunch held in the Student Success Center to review expectations.

• At 8th tardy –Two lunches held in the Student Success Center to review expectations.

• At 11th tardy – Four lunches held in the Student Success Center to review expectations and a parent meeting scheduled.

• At 14th tardy --Alternative passing schedule put in place to help facilitate arriving to class on time. This will be in place for the remainder of the quarter.
