Happy Spring, incredible SMS families!
I am once again looking to your generosity to help make SMS Staff Appreciation Week an amazing success, and I know you'll help make it happen! Last year we treated the staff to lunches, breakfasts, mailbox treats, and dozens of raffle prizes, all because of the generosity of SMS families and local businesses; let's do it again and make it even bigger and better!
As you may know, this is my final year chairing SMS Staff Appreciation Week, as my younger daughter is in 8th grade. It has been my absolute pleasure to help organize this venture for six years, but I couldn't have done it without loads of help from SMS families along the way, so thank you! This year I have a new co-chair, Maureen Greene, who has a 4th and a 6th grader, so she's learning the ropes and is looking forward to carrying on the tradition of treating our incredibly deserving SMS Staff.
Please reach out with any questions to mom2heflmf@yahoo.com or 207-664-3211.
Thank you,
Kim French, Parent Co-Chair of the SMS Staff Appreciation Event
Portland Sea Dogs Pi Day Challenge
We had 362 students from SMS participate in the Sea Dogs Pi Day challenge, with many of our students reciting over 100 places of Pi!

Absence Reporting
Families should report their middle school student's absence from school by calling the SMS main office at 207-730-4800 or by email at msoffice@scarboroughschools.org. A reason for the absence must be stated, otherwise SMS office staff will reach out to determine the reason for the absence.
Excusable reasons for an absence:
- illness
- appointment
- religious holiday
- family emergency
- planned absence
For Planned Absences (a day out of school which is not illness or medical appointment related), families should fill out the Scarborough Middle School Planned Absence form, which is found here.
For questions about attendance, please contact the Scarborough Middle School main office at 207-730-4800 or email us at msoffice@scarboroughschools.org
