7th Grade Weekly News, August 25

The first week and a half getting to know our new 7th graders has been wonderful. Thank you for all who attended the open house last week. Here is the slide show that we presented to parents.

Open House Slideshow

A couple key points from the slide show:

Detentions

• No longer after school
• Will be served at 7:00 am and students need to report at that time to the main office
• If a detention is not served, they will be give a Saturday detention
• Saturday detentions will be held at the high school for 2 hours

Progressive Discipline for minor behaviors

• Students can receive 3 detentions then they will be issued a Saturday Detention
• Then students can receive 3 Saturday Detentions then they will be issued In-School Suspension
• Then students can receive 3 In-School Suspensions before out of school suspensions will be issued

**This does not include major behaviors according to the hand book.

Have a fantastic weekend.

Hello to all my Parents for the Class of 2029 and WeLcOmE BaCk Mustangs!!

My name is Stacy Pietrocini, this will be my 6th year at SMS, and my 12th year as a School Counselor. School Counselors at SMS roll with our students from start to finish, so I will also have all your kiddos for 8th grade next year. Don't blink and miss out on this wildly fun & awkward time with middle school aged children, it goes so fast! Trust me! Family photos are hard to come by with my crew (as you can see- someone is usually also missing!) everyone is always so busy with activities and of course their social life! Ha!

Fast forward 6 years and since I joined the SMS family we now have Hannah who is 22, Ziggie who is 14, Abe who is 12.5 and Gus who is almost 8! We also have our four legged friends Hank & Margot who keep me on the move as well as Henry (not pictured- our family Tortoise!)

Starting next week, we will be featuring one student from each team that exemplifies positive behavior at SMS. We continue to support students focusing on the pillars of our Model Mustang.

EMPOWERED

These students are well on their way to becoming Model Mustangs and are making a difference at SMS.

One of our themes this year is building Hope. Check out the Hope project completed by the Globetrotters.

Please access our handbook HERE . It is also available on the website. Students and parents should review this together. Students will also review this with staff as well the first week of school.
