6th Grade News

Dear 6th Grade Parents and Families,

Just wanted to let you know that Life Touch will be providing SMS students another opportunity for Picture Re-takes. The date will be November 14th. If you are interested in having your student's picture taken again, please bring your smile on November 14th.

Our Veterans Day Parade is scheduled for November 13th at 9:00am. If you have a relative who is a Veteran, please plan to join us. SMS Students and Staff would love to honor and recognize our local Veterans, in our Veteran parade. It's a great event where we have our Veteran guests and family/friends drive in the parade at SMS, while our students cheer and wave and our music students perform. All the details are below!

Also - Intramural Bowling is starting soon! If this is something that your student may be interested participating in during the winter months - please sign them up. All the links and details are listed below.

Please make sure that your school fees are paid for your student. If you would like, you may contact the office and set up a payment plan. It is important that all our students can attend field trips and activities. In order for full participation - School fees must be paid. Please reach out to Mrs. Malloy at SMS.

Each week we feature one student from each team that exemplifies behavior that is

expected at SMS. We continue to support students to become the following:

We have developed behavior expectations for all students at SMS. We have High Expectations and High Accountability for Everyone. Please take some time to read the content below so that you know and understand the process of discipline at SMS. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out with questions at any time.

One focus this year has been on our behavior systems and making sure we are holding our students to the high standards that we have here at SMS. To help with that we've made some changes to our behavior system and discipline.

Detentions

• No longer after 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.

HERE is our OPEN HOUSE PARENT MEETING Slide Presentation to reference to if needed.

Please access our handbook HERE . It is also available on the website. Students and parents should review this together. Students will also review this with staff as well the first week of school.
