7th Grade News, September 1
From the desk of Chris Howell, 7th Grade Principal
The first couple weeks have flown by, and our students are off to a great start. This newsletter will serve as a bi-weekly update, keeping you informed about all matters related to the 7th grade.
One change that we have implemented this year is our procedure for picking students up early. When picking up your child from school for appointments, not feeling well, or other reasons;
- You will be required to park your car
- Enter the building
- Press the intercom and present your driver's license for identity verification
- Sign out your child on the cart in the vestibule
Dropping your child off at school does not require you to come into the building as they can sign themselves in.
We appreciate your support in keeping our students and building safe.
Quick Announcements
- Strongsville Middle School is proud to announce its partnership with the Cleveland Browns and the Stay in the Game! program, aimed at promoting student attendance. Below are recommended strategies for parents to enhance their children's attendance:
- Ms. Joyce, our school social worker, is in need of school supplies, gently used clothing or household supplies to fill the SMS Caring Closet. See flyer below.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

A couple points to remember:
Detentions
- Morning, before school
- Will be served at 7:00 am and students need to report at that time to the main office
- If a detention is not served, they will be give a Saturday detention
- Saturday detentions will be held at the high school for 2 hours
Progressive Discipline for minor behaviors
- Students can receive 3 detentions then they will be issued a Saturday Detention
- Then students can receive 3 Saturday Detentions then they will be issued In-School Suspension
- Then students can receive 3 In-School Suspensions before out of school suspensions will be issued
**This does not include major behaviors according to the hand book.
