SSMS Weekly Update
09/17/2021
Hello SSMS Families,
Next Friday will mark the end of the 6th week of the school year and the second interim grading period. This is significant because students must be passing all their classes to retain UIL eligibility for athletics and fine arts performances. Tutorials are held every morning from 8:30 - 8:55 and this is the time for students to get extra help, retake assessments, work on missing assignments, and take care of their grades. Tiger WIN Time is our Tier II intervention time and is teacher directed. This is a protected time during the school day in which teachers provide intervention for students who are struggling with learning concepts in their core or high school credit classes. Teachers use the “tutorial required” stamp in the student’s agenda to let them know that they are to attend this special intervention time. For more information on our Tiered Intervention Plans and Tutorials please click here. Have a great weekend!
