Parent - Week of 10/6

The Strongsville City Schools annual “Greet & Treat” event will be held at Strongsville High School’s Pat Catan Stadium on Thursday, October 30 from 5:30pm - 7:00pm. Dress up in your best Halloween costume and collect candy and treats in an outdoor, family-friendly atmosphere. We will also be accepting donations of non-perishable items (especially tuna fish, peanut butter, squeeze jelly, and Macaroni & Cheese) for the Strongsville Food Bank that evening. We hope to see lots of families at this year’s “Greet & Treat” on October 30!

First quarter is nearly over and our Lost and Found space is getting packed. If your student is missing their lunchbox, water bottle, Chromebook bag, or something else, have them check our Lost and Found space outside of the Media Center.

Another great spot to check is every pod. It is possible that an item from one pod is placed in another.

Please make sure we have updated information for your student for the 25-26 school year. Please log in to PowerSchool and confirm enrollment details as soon as possible. Without this update, students may not be able to attend field trips or enjoy quarterly incentives off campus.

How to update information on PowerSchool -- please note, this must be done on a desktop.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Chris Broughton, Technology Coordinator/Data Manager, at cbroughton@scsmustangs.org.

Thank you for your prompt attention!

Hello Mustang Families,

We know that many of our Strongsville Middle School students look forward to Friday night football games—not only to cheer on the team, but also to spend time with friends and enjoy the fun atmosphere. We’re glad our students want to show their Mustang Pride, but we also want to remind everyone that the same expectations we hold during the school day apply at school events. Being Mustang STRONG (Safe, Trustworthy, Respectful, Own It, Never Settle, Get Engaged) doesn’t stop at the classroom door—it carries over into the stands and beyond.

To make sure our football games are a positive and enjoyable experience for everyone in attendance, here are a few reminders for SMS students:

• Students should stay in the Middle School section of the bleachers (left side near the end zone) throughout the game, unless given permission by an administrator or teacher.

• Students should not be walking or running around the stadium, standing along the fence line, or gathering under the bleachers.

• If a student is not in the designated Middle School section, they must sit with their parent or another trusted adult.

• Please leave footballs, toys, and other items at home. Throwing objects, horseplay, or similar activities are not permitted.

• Students are expected to follow the directions of Strongsville staff and return promptly to the student section if asked.

• Respectful, school-appropriate language should be used at all times. Profanity or disrespectful remarks will not be tolerated.

• Help us keep our stadium clean—no littering during the game and please throw away all trash before leaving.

• Show good sportsmanship by cheering positively and supporting our team—loudly and proudly—no matter the outcome!

The final varsity football home game is Friday, October 17. Please take a few minutes to review these expectations with your student so we can all work together to create a safe, welcoming, and spirited environment for the Mustang community.

Thank you, and Go Mustangs!
