Attendance Matters!
Class starts each day with students in classrooms by 7:55am. The warning bell rings at 7:50am. To see if your child has been tardy to any of their classes, check PowerSchool to view your child’s attendance. If you see any errors, please contact Ms. Charity.
**Our school day ends at 3:06pm. Unless your student is registered for an after school activity, they must leave the building by 3:30pm.**

Healthy Minute: Teamwork, Community, Accountability
Healthy habits are the pillars to a healthy lifestyle. Joining after school programs such as sports, clubs, intramurals etc. help to keep your body active and your mind engaged. It is important to have a feeling of belonging, to have a team to show up for, to hold yourself accountable. There are days when we don't always want to go to sports practice, to perform in our band/choir concert, or to go to our after school club or intramurals. But what is important to remember is that you are starting the building blocks for your future, now, as a Middle School student. How you show up for yourself and for others shows your character and builds a confident lifestyle. It’s a good healthy habit to begin at a young age!
Teacher Appreciation Week: May 6-10
We will be helping celebrate our SMS teachers and staff during national Teacher Appreciation Week May 6th-10th. We will be putting together a variety of prize baskets for staff to do a drawing during this week. Do you know an individual or a business who would like to donate a prize basket or gift cards to show their appreciation? Contact SHS Family Engagement Coordinator, LeAnn Egnash, at leann.egnash@superior.k12.wi.us for details.
The PTSA also have a variety of donation needs to make that week special for the 220+ teachers between the two schools.
There are two ways you can help!
*Click here to give a monetary donation and they'll do the shopping.
*Click here to sign up to bring items. We are asking for donations to be delivered the day before the planned event to allow the PTSA board time to evaluate totals and complete additional shopping if necessary.
Food Service
Breakfast and dinner at SMS continue to be free for all students, but lunch is paid. We encourage all families to apply for free and reduced lunch. Even if you are not eligible, your application helps our school. You can apply multiple times throughout the school year, especially if your home situation changes. You can easily add funds into your student's lunch account through My School Bucks.
Summer School - Register by May 13th!
Summer School registration closes May 13th. Check out the summer school webpage for details and to sign up your student.
This year, we will host four locations (Cooper, Northern Lights, Superior Middle School, and Superior High School). SHS will begin classes on June 10th, while the rest of the district will start on June 17th.
Along with the many classes offered at our schools, we have partnered with the City of Superior Parks and Recreation Department which offers outdoor playground programs throughout the area. Of course, these programs depend on if the weather cooperates. In preparation for the 2024 season, the Parks and Recreation program is asking our Spartan community to fill out this brief survey for location preferences.
The Summer Playground Program is a weather-dependent program scheduled from 11:30 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday, starting in the middle of June and ending in the middle of August. The program's goal is to provide supervised play and outdoor fun in a safe environment for children ages 5-11 in Superior.
