Shumate Family Update
February 17, 2023
Please see below for information that will help you through the next week and beyond:
No School Monday, 2/20/23
This is a reminder that there is no school on Monday, 2/20/23 due to President's Day.
Winter NWEA Reports
NWEA reports were sent home with students today in their Math classes. Please take time to review these scores with your child. NWEA assessments are administered three times each year through 8th grade. These extremely important assessments in Math, ELA and Science help us gauge student learning in order to determine instructional decisions and pathways for our students.
STEM on Skates Field Trip
Permission slips will be sent home Tuesday (2/21) for the 6th and 7th grade field trip to United Skates.
7th grade goes March 23
6th grade goes March 24
Chromebook Charging
We are asking students to get in the habit of charging Chromebooks every night at home. The simple act of plugging in a Chromebook before bed can save quite a bit of frustration throughout the day. Please remind your child nightly until they get into this habit.
Dress Code
Now that we are into the second half of the school year, we want to remind students of the SMS Dress Code expectations. Please use the link below to access the 22/23 SMS Student Handbook. Our Dress Code can be found on p. 25.
