Shumate Family Update
September 1, 2022
SMS Family Update 9/1/22
Hello SMS Families,
We are 4 days from the school once again being filled with kids! We are so excited to welcome back our returning 7th and 8th graders, as well as welcome in our newest Seahawks!
In this update you’ll find information about the first day of school on 9/6, student dropoff and pickup, 6th grade lockers, open house, Absence reporting using Parent Connect, Chromebook hand-out, PBIS Class Shirts, as well as our Fall Sports Schedule.
First Day of School
Our first day of School is Tuesday,September 6th. Doors will open at 7:55, and the first bell rings at 8:10 a.m. The first day is a FULL day of school (dismissal at 3:10 pm). Students are to report directly to their first period class as defined on their schedule which students received at Prep Day, and can access through Student or Parent Connect. Please reassure your child that we will have many staff members helping students find their way to their first period, and that it’s ok to ask for assistance.
Morning Car Drop Off & Afternoon Car Pickup
Morning - Please pull all the way through the drop off lane to the flag pole before letting your child out. Cars stopped at different points throughout the drop off lane slows traffic significantly.
Afternoon - Please refrain from parking in the driveway next to the sidewalk in front of the school. This is a fire lane and parked cars also create blind spots for students crossing to the parking lot. As always, student safety is our first priority.
Sixth Grade Lockers
We originally had a large number of 6th grade students that were doubled up in lockers. We’re happy to announce that we now have enough lockers for every 6th grader to have their own locker. This will be remedied during first hour on Tuesday. and below you will find details on what your 6th grade student should expect on Tuesday morning when they arrive here.
6th grade students will gather all items they may have placed into their locker during Prep Day and bring these items with them to their first hour classes. During first hour, students will be given a printed schedule, which includes their new locker info. Once attendance is taken, all 6th grade students will be able to go to their new locker, practice their combinations and put their items in their new locker.
Open House
When: Tuesday, September 6 from 5:00-6:30pm
In order to minimize congestion in the building we will run three, 30 minute sessions by last name. These short sessions should be used for students and parents/guardians to get to know teachers and get acquainted with the classrooms.
Please see the schedule below for your Open House times:
Students with a last name beginning with A-G
5:00-5:30
Students with a last name beginning with H- P
5:30-6:00
Students with a last name beginning with Q - Z
6:00-6:30
Reporting absences via Parent Connect.
Parents now have a choice to report student absences directly on Parent Square. From the app, click the 3 lines in the top right corner, click report absence, enter info and 'submit'
From a PC, click the 'report absence' link from the top line of your students homepage, enter info and 'submit'.
PBIS Class Shirts

Students that were in 6th or 7th-grade last year have the same shirt and design. The cost is $6 and shirts will be delivered in a bulk order to Shumate. Use the link below to order your shirt today!

Tech in Library - Chromebooks
Our technology department will be in our library to pass out Chromebooks to students that were unable to attend Prep Day during the first days of school. It is our hope that we’ll be able to ensure every student leaves on Tuesday with their Chromebook. However, this process may stretch into Wednesday. Please listen to the PA for instructions on dismissing students.
