We're really excited to have all our students back in the building and are off to a good start. We spent our first few days reviewing WORK, RESPECT, BELONG expectations in the building. Students are already building connections with their teachers and classmates during Spartan Start. Reminder for 7th and 8th Graders, please bring back your locks and laptop bags. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please fill out the Family Check in Form below. We have this set up for myself and all of our Assistant Principals to check all year long. We're happy to have you a part of our SMS community!

We are so excited to have students back in the building! Thank you to this year's 8th Grade Leaders for helping our new students. We are happy to have you lead our school this year!

Our PBIS Team are working on revisiting expectations. All staff will be handing out Spartan Tickets to students who are showing Work, Respect, Belong at SMS. They will have the opportunity to "spend" their Spartan Tickets at a store that will be opening soon. If you would like to help promote positive behavior at SMS, we have created an Amazon Wish List here. Any donations are appreciated.

Counselors are here to support all our students.

Please reach out to:

Hallee Yon - 6th Grade

Cari Payne - 7th Grade

A Days and B Days

We alternate A Days and B Days. This indicates when your student will alternate their FAA classes. For instance they may have Phy Ed on A Days and Art on B Days. We post what day we will be starting the week with on our Facebook account on Sundays. We also post throughout the building for our students. They catch on quickly! If you are wanting to look ahead, our school calendar shows which days are which.

Spartan Start

This is something new we are doing this year and is similar to traditional "homeroom". However, this is not just a fluffy study hall time. We use this time to go over lessons on social emotional learning, community building, and more valuable content. Ask your student what they talked about with their Spartan Start class.

Schedule

The class schedule looks a little different this year. Lunch time is separate by grade. To keep our hallways less congested and more focused, passing time is staggered. Here is a schedule for your reference.

Book Returns

We still have many overdue library books out from last year. Please look through your room, backpack, car, or Grandma's house for any books. Even if it is a book from another school, we will take it and return it to the correct library. Thank you for helping us keep our shelves full.

Laptops

We have been working on distributing laptops this week. This year we will be keeping laptops at school. Students will receive their laptop at "Spartan Start" and return it at the end of the day at "Spartan Depart".

Teachers will be reaching out toward the end of September with how to sign up to meet.

Intramurals

SMS has built an exciting intramural program this year.

All registration for SMS Intramural sports and clubs is done online using EduTrak. Please go to this site and create an account. Then “shop” for the activity of your choice and add to your basket. You will be prompted to fill out the required registration form, create a payment type and then make your payment. If the activity does not have a fee, your cart will indicate $0.00 due at checkout. It’s as easy as that! Contact Mrs. Bender with any questions.

The Boys & Girls Club

The Boys and Girls Club operates out of Superior Middle School. It is here to provide a safe place for youth in our area to achieve academic success, healthy lifestyles, and social/emotional growth. They provide after school programming Monday through Friday from 3:00pm until 8:00pm. To join the club, please go to bgcnorth.org and click on the BECOME A MEMBER tab. They are excited to continue supporting all school aged youth. If you have any questions, please send an email to sprclub@bgcnorth.org or call 715-394-8740 ext 31212.

GEARS Program

Our GEARS Program is open to all students who need homework support. GEARS starts on October 10th. It is FREE and runs every Tuesday and Thursday after school until 5:00 in the SMS Library. Registration is required by returning this form to our main office. Hard copies of the form are located in the main office as well.

Homecoming is coming up on September 22nd. Superior High School wants to remind all of our K-8 students that they must attend and stay with an adult at all SHS Football games. Thank you for helping everyone feel like a Spartan. GO BLUE!
