SEMS Sponsorship Banner Program
The Banner Program is officially up and going again this year. Thank you to all past and current sponsors, as your donations really help our student athletes in more ways than we can tell you. This year we have two locations, again. The corner of San Elijo Road and Schoolhouse Way is the place that our community gets to see your donations at work. The drop-off circle is the second, and where our parents get to see your business names up close and personal, on a daily basis.
Donations are $500 and are handled through the SEMS PTO website.

Upon completion of the purchase, please contact our Athletic Coordinator at geoffrey.gilpin@smusd.org, so that we can get your design in to the printer.
Counseling
San Marcos Unified School District partnered with Care Solace to support the well-being of students, staff, and their family members. Care Solace is a complimentary and confidential care coordination service that can help you quickly find mental health or substance use treatment options matched to your needs regardless of circumstance. If you would like to use Care Solace to help you find a provider: call 888-515-0595 available 24/7/365 in any language or visit Care Solace.
E-Bike Permits
We are currently in discussion with our local police department, district representatives, other schools in our district, and our team here regarding an e-bike permitting system. Many of our surrounding districts have used a permit system with success. It would require students to complete a safety class, sign a contract, and display their permit on their bike and helmet. We are working out the details now and want it to be both manageable and educational for our students.
Once plans are finalized, we will communicate them out to you, our SEMS families. We thank you in advance for your partnership.
Follow and Support our PTO!
Thank you to the PTO for an awesome Fund the Nest Celebration at the Fountain last Friday. Here are few fun photos:
