Counselor Corner
During the month of February, students are learning about emotion regulation in their Spartan Start. Emotion regulation is the ability to recognize, understand and manage emotions in a healthy way. This helps our students stay calm under pressure, express feelings appropriately, bounce back from disappointments and resolve conflicts effectively. We are learning about emotions, stress, things we can control/not control, healthy coping strategies, and self-regulation techniques.
Try this at home:
Ask your child, what was the best part of your day? What was something challenging? How did you handle it? Encourage brainstorming different ways to handle the situations and looking at the pros/cons of each idea.
Students earn Spartan Tickets for showing Work, Respect, Belong behavior. They are able to use those tickets to purchase items in the Spartan Store. If you would like to contribute, here is the wishlist.
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.**

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.
