Today's FEATURE Program... Eventlink!
A NEW feature is the ability to receive notifications on your iPad. Check the Add Contact section and make sure your school email address is entered. Now you'll receive coach's messages right on your iPad. You can also add your cell number if you want this on your phone, too!
Go to Manage My Calendars to select all of the groups you want to follow. If you are in a club, select that calendar. If you are in a sport, select the sport and the sport practice calendar. If you want to follow the activities of friends, you can select those activities. In band or choir? Select those. Everybody MUST select their grade level guidance calendars! This way you'll KNOW when you have guidance lessons in study hall, etc.
ALL SMS students should get linked to EVENTLINK today during homeroom!
Next week's feature program is eHallPass.
Good Sports!
- Go home after school and return for the event.
- Get in FREE! Yes, SCSD2 students get in free to home middle school events (except tournaments and football.)
- Join the cheer block. We have more power when we sit together!
- CHEER for us. SMS fans do not 'boo' or otherwise harass players, coaches, refs, or opponent fans.
- Stay in the bleachers during play. Enjoy concessions and 'hang out' during breaks.
- Keep SMS clean- watch your face paint and pick up your own trash.
- Stay AT the event until your ride is here. Once you leave, you cannot re-enter.
- Make sure your ride arrives immediately after the event (not 30 minutes later!)
Who wants to be a SUPERFAN? Map out a strategy to attend at least one home event for cross country, volleyball, boys tennis, girls soccer, boys soccer, and football!!
