SMS Family Update 9/22/22
Hello SMS Stuednts & Families,
Please see below for information to help you through next week and beyond!
Arrival - Student Drop Off
We are happy to see that arrival is becoming a much smoother process over the first few weeks of school. We have found that the line moves MUCH faster when the line of cars pulls all the way to the front of the DROP OFF lane, and the entire row of cars release their children at the same time. This zone extends from the Shumate Staff Member closest to the Main Entrance all the way to the second blue and white parking sign at the end of the curve closest to the bus loop. This way we are dropping approximately 10 car loads off at a time, and will greatly help with the flow of traffic. Thank you!!!
Dismissal - Student Pickup
Much like drop off, dismissal has progressively gotten smoother. That being said, there are some key safety concerns that we’ll need your help in addressing. When picking up your children, please park in the front (east) lot only. Parking on the side (north) lot requires students to cross without monitored crosswalks. Adding buses and highschool drivers to the equation only increases the possibility for danger. Please help us keep our kids safe by parking in the front lot.
Homecoming 2022
One week from Friday, Marauder stadium will fill with fans eager to see a win over the Taylor Griffins! We want to remind our students and parents that middle schoolers must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all home football games. A parent that takes their child and a few of their friends is perfectly fine as long as the friend-parent is responsible for their group and provides transportation.
