PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE DRIVING SLOW THROUGH THE MORNING DROP-OFF LINE AND THROUGH THE EXITING OF THE HIGH SCHOOL
Morning Drop-Off Car Line
The safety of our students is, and always will be, our number one priority!!
Please model patience to your child/ren as you are driving through the car line and remember to PULL ALL THE WAY FORWARD. Please refrain from getting out of your car to avoid the drop-off line from getting backed up.
DO NOT drive around other cars and DO NOT drive quickly as you merge and exit out of the car line through the High School.
** If arriving after 8:00 am, DO NOT drive through the driveway, please take your child through the front office**
AFTER SCHOOL STUDENT SAFETY
Unsupervised Play
Once your child has been picked up from their pick-up tables after school, please supervise your children. Students cannot play/run around the blue benches, classrooms, or outside the primary wing while waiting for their siblings to be picked up. There is no yard supervision at dismissal time, and older students are still in class learning. We kindly ask that you keep your children with you at the lunch pavilion tables while you wait.
Dogs on Campus
A reminder that dogs are not allowed on campus, regardless of whether they are on or off a leash. While we all love our dogs, not all dogs are comfortable around children, and not all children are comfortable around dogs.

HELP KEEP SPARTANS HEALTHY!
We all know that in a school setting, germs are shared, no matter how careful we all are. Therefore THE BEST THING WE CAN ALL DO FOR EACH OTHER IS TO KEEP OUR CHILDREN HOME WHEN THEY ARE NOT WELL!
While sniffles or a mild cough are not uncommon in the fall, a best practice would be to keep your child home if they are experiencing:
-fever
-sore throat
-significant cough
-vomiting
-general feeling of being unwell
PTAC MEETING - SEPT. 8TH SLIDES
CYO Sports
Volleyball practices will begin soon! The days are still being determined based on our coach's availability. An email will be sent out next week with more details for parents with a child interested in girls' Volleyball.
Please email the Athletic Director at kpalomino@sgmission.org with any questions regarding the return to CYO Sports this school year.
We look forward to having our Spartan Athletes back on the field, representing SGMES! Go Spartans!
