Spartan Scoop~ The Middle Matters!

Get ready for a fun-filled week of Spartan pride! Next week, STMS will celebrate Spartan Spirit Week as we gear up for the High School Homecoming festivities on Friday, October 23! We encourage all students and staff to participate, show their school spirit, and celebrate what makes our Spartan community so special!

And the fun doesn't stop there! On Friday, October 30, we'll keep the excitement going with our Halloween Dance and Costume Contest! We look forward to seeing our students' creativity, enthusiasm, and Spartan spirit on full display! For costumes, no masks and weapons are permitted in school or at the dance.

With Warm Regards,

Students interested in trying out for girls basketball should make sure all required athletic paperwork is completed in FamilyID prior to tryouts. As a reminder, students who participated in a fall sport must recertify in FamilyID for the winter season and check off Girls Basketball in order to participate. If they have not participated in any sport yet this year please follow the directions below:

To start, create and account on Family ID (link) and upload a completed PIAA physical (attached). In addition, I am including another link with instructions on how your student can complete an impact test at home (not required if completed in 7th grade or for another sport in middle school). Once both of those are completed they are all set for any other sports she wants to participate in at the middle school this year!

We’re looking forward to a great turnout and an exciting basketball season!

Please reach out with any questions or concerns: ian_hammond@sdst.org STMS AP/AD
