PTSA Spring Fundraiser
March 29 - April 2
Parents & Families,
I trust your Spring Break was restful, peaceful, and rejuvenating! We are back and ready-to-go with two more weeks left in Quarter 3. Please encourage your student to utilize whatever means they can the next couple weeks in finishing this grading period as best they can. We have daily office hours from 1:30 - 2:00 and a few Wednesdays to get as much help as needed. Check PowerSchool to help support your student!
You may have heard about the CDC and OHA's new guidelines regarding physical distancing in schools. Our district office team will be working to provide guidance if we can bring students back each day which is our hope! Stay tuned for more information, and continue to encourage your student to follow all safety protocol. If we all work together, we can re-open safely!
We have one more week of AVID Applications. This Follow the link to submit an application. Every student that submits an application gets an interview, and only students can apply with their school email address.
Volleyball & Cross Country Sign-ups are still happening and begin this week - make sure you sign up to participate! All athletes must be signed up on FamilyID and have a current physical on file before they are allowed to participate. To sign up and get more information, please visit our SMS Athletics web page.
Lastly, we kick off our Spring Fundraiser this week! Students will receive information in their 1st class this week on Monday or Tuesday. They will receive a collection envelope, order form, catalog, and parent letter that will be coming home to you this week. We have until April 12th to earn as much money for our PTSA to give back to teachers!

Family Character Dare - FAIL FORWARD
Ask the question, "What did you fail at this week?" Then, engage in a conversation about how we learn and grow from failure.
In order to get the best answers, and role model well, share with them a time this week you felt you have failed either at work or as a family member.
