SMMS Weekly Update: Orientation

As we close out our first full week in September, now would be a great time to talk to your student about grades and take the opportunity to verify that you have access to Schoology. It is important throughout the year to check on your student's grades and assignments. There are times when a student may have forgotten to turn in work, which provides an opportunity to work with the teacher to ensure they understand the material. If you are unable to log in to Schoology, please reach out to the school to let us know so that we can assist you in getting your account set up.

Clubs are being created, and club leaders should be reaching out within the next week.

There are a variety of flyers and newsletters below. Please make sure to check them out, as they include information on:

• Bullying Prevention Week

• WVSSAC Sports Eligibility Rules

• Academy Days

• Band Fundraiser

• Internet Safety

• Student Assistance Form

If you are interested in receiving a weekly food bag filled with snacks and other food items, please be sure to return the Backpack program form.

If you need another form, have your child ask their school counselor or email them
