Principal Update
Preparing for the 2021-2022 School Year!
I hope this update finds you well and enjoying the last bit of summer! We, at SMMHS, have been busy preparing for the upcoming year. We have wrapped up summer learning and students and staff alike, had a fantastic time. Safety for staff, students, and families remains a priority and we will keep you updated as we get new information. At this time, students will be assigned lockers on the first day of school and backpacks will NOT be allowed to be carried to classes.
Students and families will be able to view schedules on powerschool on August 16th after 3:00. If your student has a question or concern about their schedule, please have them email their guidance counselor. Mrs. Kerr will be working with grades 6-9 and Mr. Burkhardt will be working with grades 10-12. Transportation information will also be viewed on powerschool later this month but must be done on a computer not a mobile device. Please contact Mr. Buchkoski at the school if you have any questions about transportation.
I have included the 2021-2022 school calendar, the marking period calendar, the TCPS attendance policy and the bell schedule in this newsletter. PLEASE take time to review these items. Attendance matters and we will be following the TCPS policy and closely monitoring it this year. Doors open at 7:35 and class starts at 7:45, so please make sure students are arriving on time. Please stay in contact with Kelly Schlesner, our attendance secretary if your student is going to be absent for any reason.
Please make sure to check out our school website and follow us on social media.
We look forward to seeing our students and families soon! We're going to have a fantastic year.
