Geography Bee
Scheduling Update
The High School scheduling window is open from February 3rd through February 16th. Students should log into their PASS accounts to register for courses (directions for online registration). Families may access the SHS Program of Studies 2017-2018 on the High School Website, as there is not a printed booklet as in the past. Students are welcome to begin the registration process on their own on their PASS account. All 8th grade students will have the opportunity to schedule at SMS on the following days:
Dragons - 2/9 during IE
Adventurer/Vanguards - 2/10 during IE
Pirates & Crusaders - 2/10 during Science
Parent-Teacher Conferences
Polaris Student of the Quarter
Career Cafe
On February 10th, we will be having our next Career Cafe speaker this year. At the career cafe, students are invited to drink some hot chocolate and learn about careers.
Our speaker for this month is Jodi Heflin. She is a civil engineer with a specific background in early project development, traffic engineering, and environmental studies to support transportation projects. She will talk about her experience working with these specialties, but she will also talk in a broader sense about the diverse career opportunities in civil engineering – from aviation to transit to planning to detailed design to construction. She will talk about what kind of education, training, and skills are needed for careers in civil engineering.
If your child is interested in hearing Jodi Heflin speak about her career during I/E time on Friday, February 10th, please have your child sign up using the following link: Career Cafe Sign Up, February 10th
Any student that attends the presentation will be entered into a raffle to win a prize!
There are a limited number of spots available for students per I/E time, so please encourage your child to sign up right away.
The last day for students to sign up is next Wednesday, February 9th. (Students must be signed up in advance to attend.)
If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Ray at eray@scsmustangs.org.
