Weekly Newsletter

Sultan Middle School Families,

We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Break. 🦃

Let's finish 2024 strong with good attendance and assignments turned in on time. Parents and Guardians, join us in supporting your students by using PowerSchool and/or Canvas Observer to see your students grades, see their assignments, and message their teachers.

The difference between PowerSchool and Canvas Observer:

PowerSchool is great for seeing your students grades and attendance overall. Canvas Observer allows you to see their specific assignments in more detail. Call our office at 360-793-9850 for your students pairing code for Canvas Observer. For PowerSchool go to: https://sms.sultanschools.org/o/ssd/page/family-resources and log in with your username and password. Call our office if you need your password reset.

⛄The Soup Supper and Concert is December 17th in the SHS Commons. Cost is $10 for soup, pie, roll, coffee, and tea. Join this community holiday event and enjoy music, dinner, and a pie auction. SMS performs 5-6pm and SHS performs 6-7pm.

Winter Break in December is a great time to get your students sports physical! If your student wants to participate in the next season of winter sports which includes Girls Basketball and Wrestling, then please be sure that your student has a current sports physical. They are good for two years. Submit it on final forms or turn it in at the SMS office.

A report on student's grades:

Total # of A and A-: 1103

Total # of students with A and A-: 404

The end of Quarter 2 will be January 24th. With so many fun breaks this quarter it is even more important to have your student in class on the days we have school. We have a goal of 100% attendance. Let's rally together to support one another in this endeavor!

Are you a substitute teacher? We need you! Please apply now at: https://www.sultanschools.org/page/substitute-information and join our Sultan Middle School team.
