Supporting Your Child
It is not an easy conversation to have and there are many parents who are simply uncomfortable or feel ill-equipped to do so. But, if you haven't already, please have a conversation with your child and 'check-in' on where they are emotionally. For the past few days, our students have been living amidst a sense of loss and tragedy. For many, this may be the first time they have experienced a loss of someone they know. Students are experiencing a wide-range of emotions. We must always remember that the grieving process looks different for everyone. Some may be in denial, or be angry. Some may cry, feel depressed, while others seem indifferent or simply do not understand.
Mrs. Pleskovic will always be remembered for her kindness and compassion and her love for her students. She will be missed by all.
A Warm Thank You!
Thank you, SMS Families!

Halloween Dress Up
PTA Update
It's not too late to join PTA!
You can join or renew your SMS PTA membership anytime throughout the school year, so it's not too late!.
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.
- PTA Membership Form
If you have questions about SMS PTA Membership, please contact Jennifer Niederhausen at jniederhausen@gmail.com.
PTA Meeting
Our next SMS PTA Meeting is Monday, November 13th, at 1pm in the SMS Media Center. We meet on the 3rd floor of the Media Center. Please stop in the Main Office to get a visitor pass on your way in.
This month we will have updates on SMS Gives Back, Spirit Wear Sale, as well as other general topics. Also, a teacher representative and/or Mr. Deitrick is always in attendance to provide an update and answer questions. We hope to see you there!
