7th Grade News, May 26

With this being the last week and newsletter of the year, I would like to thank every student, teacher, and parent for the hard work they put in this school year. 7th grade may be the most challenging grade for many students, but so many have continued to grow and show their futures are bright. I appreciate this class and will forever be keeping my eye on their progress.

In an effort to create the best experience possible at SMS, we are asking parents to fill out this survey. Our students and staff will be filling out similar surveys to help best determine our next steps for the 2025-2026 school year.

Thank you everyone. Have a wonderful summer.
