Our Parent Teacher Student Association serves both the Superior Middle and High School students, staff, and schools. The next meeting will be January 24th at 5:30pm at the Superior Middle School Library. Consider getting involved! Find their Facebook Page here for opportunities and meeting minutes.

We invite any junior or senior parents to the next meeting on January 3rd at 6:00 at SHS in the library conference room. If you are not able to attend, but would like to be a part of the event, please email Nicky Wilson at nickyw2433@gmail.com to be included on future meeting notices.

Anyone (even PTSA members) volunteering during the school day will need to follow the District's volunteer process and complete the background check.

If you need assistance with the fee associated with the background check, please email leann.egnash@superior.k12.wi.us and she can help you. We do not want this fee to deter you from making a positive difference at our school.

As with many things, parents are great resources and educators for their children on these important topics. Our goal is to support and supplement the dialogue between parents and students.

Your teen is freaking out: what can you do to help? Become a stress coach and get them to break the cycle so they can think. Stress hormones are flooding their body––those same stress hormones that told our ancestors to run when they saw a tiger. So tell your teen to drop what they’re doing and move. Literally. Get up and exercise, even if it’s just to take a walk around the block to calm down. Until they burn through that excess adrenaline, they’re not going to be able to think. So get them calm by getting them moving.
