Reflections From the Principal
Dear Mountie Students and Families,
It's been a wonderful month at Southmont! Believe it or not, we have completed the first 7 weeks of the 2022-2023 school year. This means we are roughly 5 weeks from the end of the first trimester. As a reminder, student’s final trimester grade is based upon the following breakdown:
40% - 1st Six Weeks Grade
40% - 2nd Six Weeks Grade
20% - Final Exam Grade
For the most up-to-date information on your student's grades and assignments, please check your Powerschool Family Access account. If you are unable to login to your account, feel free to call the office for assistance (765-866-0350).
Due to many requests for Club meeting date changes and overlap in Club meeting dates, we have added an additional day each week for Clubs to meet. Clubs will now meet on Tuesdays and Fridays each week. We have a NEW Club meeting schedule, which can be found below. The Club meeting schedule will also be emailed to all students.
We have much to be grateful for at Southmont. We have incredible students, a caring and hard working staff, wonderful families, and an extremely supportive community. As always, we appreciate your continued commitment to prioritizing your student's education. We believe that students are most successful when a strong collaboration between home and school is present. If I can be of any assistance to anyone, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
Yours in education,
Mrs. Hammond

The FAFSA becomes available to start on Saturday, October 1st!
Anyone who could be in college the following fall should file the FAFSA, including current college students and high school seniors. Even if you’re not sure if you will enroll, or if you’re already in college, you should file the FAFSA. You’ll never know what financial aid you could get if you don’t file the FAFSA, and you could potentially lose scholarships and other financial aid you currently have.
The information you will need for the FAFSA includes:
- Your Federal Student Aid ID (the FSA ID is a username and password you can create on the )
- Your Social Security number (found on a Social Security card)
- Your driver’s license number (if you have a driver’s license)
- Your and/or your parents’/guardians’ most recent federal tax returns (IRS forms 1040, 1040EZ or 1040A)
- Records of money earned, including W-2 forms and recent bank statements
- Alien registration numbers or permanent residence cards, if you or your parents/guardians are not U.S. citizens
All 10th grade students will be taking the PSAT 10 exam on October 12th. The PSAT 10 exam, through College Board, is used to measure readiness for college, access scholarships, and practice for the SAT exam in 11th grade. Please make sure you are well-rested and present at school on October 12th to take the PSAT.
Lastly, if you have not joined the Google classroom for your class, it is important that you do so ASAP. The guidance department provides regular updates in the Google classroom for each specific class. All Google classroom codes can be found below. If you need assistance, please contact your counselor.
