SBMS Weekly Updates
September 10, 2017
It's been an action-packed week in the boro'! Congratulations to our SBMS community for our 16/17 achievement. Our school composite score was 66%, an increase of 12% over the previous year. This performance was the result of the hard work of our students and teachers and the support of our parents. Kudos to our football coaching staff and players for bringing home our first athletic victory of the season and to Ms. Zimmerman for hosting the Tri-M Induction on Thursday night.
Monday, September 11, 2017 is our open house for parents from 6:00-7:00 pm. We will be facilitating technology awareness meetings for parents every 15 minutes in the auditorium and parents will have the opportunity to visit classrooms to learn about our expectations and instructional priorities for the first semester. It is a floating event where parents have the opportunity to just stop by and say hello and ask questions about classes. This week will also include a home football game against New Bridge Middle School on Tuesday, a home softball game on Tuesday against Brewster Middle School and another home softball game against New Bridge on Thursday. Our Pirate Parents will host their first meeting on Thursday at 6 pm and all are welcome to attend.
We are still in need of businesses to sponsor our home athletic events. Sponsors receive recognition during halftime and throughout the week of the event. Sponsorship is a $100 tax-deductible donation to our athletic program which goes to purchase and maintain sporting equipment.
Looking ahead to next week in the boro', we will begin offering buses for after school tutoring and clubs starting on Tuesday, September 19. Buses will run every Tuesday and Thursday (except for on early release days and holidays) throughout the year. Students must sign up for bus transportation the day before utilizing this service. The link will be advertised on our school webpage and shared with students and parents each week. This is a necessary step for our transportation department to create the daily bus routes. Next week is also our first strategic planning meeting of the 17/18 school year and our first early release professional development day. Please note that all students will be dismissed at 11:25 am on Thursday, September 21, 2017 and that we will not have athletic practices or after school clubs. Wednesday, September 20, 2017 is also our Saltwater Grill Family Night. Buy 2 entrees and you will receive a free appetizer. The restaurant will donate 10% of proceeds from this event to our school community.
