School Spirit!
Parent Teacher Conferences
Having conferences available to parents over the course of two nights allows for flexibility and gives families options, as we know activities can consume evenings. Please be mindful as there will be others waiting in line behind you to speak with teachers. Keep your conversations with individual teachers to 5-7 minutes.
Thank you, for your attention to this and we look forward to seeing you!
Getting The Home Crowd Pumped!
Digital Citizenship & Use of Social Media
I am happy to report that we have had but a small handful of instances this year pertaining to these topics. However, as the school year goes on and students become more comfortable with their peers, these behaviors may heighten. We want to be as proactive as we can to make SMS a safe place for all students.

Book Fair!
The Book Fair is coming next week to SMS October 3rd to October 6th. This is the primary source of new library books for our students, and we are looking for parent volunteers to help make the event a success. If you are able to help out please sign us using this link. Thanks for you support!
All students will visit/shop the Book Fair with their language arts classes: 6th grade on Tuesday, 7th grade on Wednesday, and 8th grade on Thursday. Students who have money to shop may come any day with a pass from a teacher. The Book Fair will be open a half day on Friday, until the end of the last lunch period for final shoppers. Students may pay using cash, a check made payable to SMS PTA, or a credit card. We will also be open Tuesday evening from 4-7 p.m. during conferences. Students may also shop our online Book Fair which has a more extensive collection, and all books ordered online are delivered to our school for free.

PTA Update
Join PTA Today!
We hope you'll consider joining - or renewing - your membership to SMS PTA this year. Each membership helps us to provide valuable programs to students at Strongsville Middle School. And, you can check for PTA updates and sign up for volunteer opportunities right here in Mr. Deitrick's weekly M'n'M update.
We have a couple of ways you can join SMS PTA:
- We have an online Membership Form where you can both complete the membership form and pay. Click here to access the online Membership Form. There is a small fee (about the same as a postage stamp) to pay online and you will have to complete a separate form for each member joining (i.e. mom and dad)
- Print, complete and mail the attached paper Membership Form with cash or check. Both parents can be included on one form, but it must be mailed to school - not sent with a student to school.

If you have questions about SMS PTA Membership, please contact Jennifer Niederhausen at jniederhausen@gmail.com.

Our next Rockin at the Rec is October 6th and we need volunteers! Please consider signing up to help!
