Tuesday night we celebrated select students and staff for academic, athletic and model mustang achievements with staff and families. Thank you to all of our families for coming to this recognition night; we are proud of all our student achievements. Click HERE to see our digital program to see those that were selected for specific achievements.

This week, PTA is helping SMS celebrate and acknowledge all of our students who have received all As or the 2nd quarter and those that have As and Bs. We are so proud of our students and their effort. Students will be celebrated with donuts and certificates with their teams this Wednesday. Thank you to our PTA for providing us the treat for this celebration!

This week, students will be competing in our second Progress Challenge, focusing on PRIDE (prepared, respect, inclusive, determined and engaged) in the classroom. Our goal is to reinforce positive behavior in the classroom.

Staff will give our PRIDE QR codes selectively, recognizing students effort to create a positive respectful classroom culture. Teams with the most PQRs will win the Progress Challenge and receive the team trophy and treat!

Our goal is to continue to focus on the positive behaviors we expect from students: being prepared and ready for class, respecting the teacher, classroom rules, raising their hands, staying in their seats, speaking nicely to others, including others, being collaborative and supporting all people and their ideas, being determined to do their best, trying and asking questions, using class time wisely and caring about their learning, engaged in the lesson, using the class time to learn and attempt the lesson and activities created.

More than ever, we can use the support of our families to reinforce these behaviors. Our staff attempts to create engaging lessons that meet students' needs and learning. This can be distracting if students do not attempt to show PRIDE. thank you for reviewing these expectations with your students and supporting our classrooms.

SMS hosted its first Unified Sports Basketball game this Friday, welcoming schools: Westlake, Clara Westropp and Albert Einstein (North Olmsted). Our students had ag reat time interacting with other students and our student section was energetic and supportive! Our students and staff received many compliments regarding the event and support. Thank you to all for their effort in planning this event!

Students are not permitted into the main doors of our building until 7:40a.m. We have had students dropped off earlier and are wanting to wait inside due to current weather conditions. We do not have supervision for our students until the designated time, therefore, please wait in the drop off line (those doors open at 7:35). Thank you.
