Timberwolf Times

Dear STMS Families,

Thank you to our amazing STMS community for participating in this year’s Color Run! This special event brings our school community together and serves as our biggest fundraiser of the year. A huge thank you to all of our parent volunteers who supported us and helped make the event such a success! Color Run donations are still being collected at STMS, so there is still time to turn in your donations. We appreciate your continued support!

Welcome, Mrs. Susan Hennessey!

We are excited to announce that we have hired a new school librarian! Mrs. Susan Hennessey will be joining the STMS team beginning October 19th. We are thrilled to welcome her to our school community and look forward to all she will bring to our students and staff.

New Audio Enhancement Systems Coming to STMS

Our school is currently having Audio Enhancement systems installed in every classroom. These systems will help us:

• Improve audio clarity and speech intelligibility in classrooms

• Support translation and accessibility for our diverse learners and families

• Strengthen safety communication across our campus

Our staff will participate in training on November 4th so that our team can make the most of this new technology and its benefits for students.

Congrats to the following students for winning our weekly “The Timberwolf Way P.R.I.D.E.” raffle drawing.

P.R.I.D.E. stands for Positive, Respectful, Integrity, Determined and Engaged. These students (and many others) demonstrated one or more of these traits at STMS! They each received a small gift card for winning the raffle. Great job doing things "The Timberwolf Way"!

A student on "Social Probation" has restrictions from school activities.

A student earns this status by violating the school's Code of Conduct and P.R.I.D.E. expectations, school board policy, or the law with the resulting consequence being assigned OCR, suspensions. Students with less than 60% attendance will also earn social probation status. Additionally, students with unpaid fines earn Social Probation status.

Students are on social probation for the remainder of the school year.

Students may remove themselves from “social probation” status by completing an approved program as assigned by the SRO office. Approved programs must be completed two weeks prior to any event/activity a student wished to participate in.
