Long Stretch...
Happy Long Weekend Spartan Families:
We had a great, short week at SMS and we are ready to enjoy the extra long weekend! When we jump back into session on Monday we are looking at 6 straight weeks/30 full days of 4th quarter excitement. We have lots of wonderful learning opportunities, countless memories to make and a ton of fun to be had in the home stretch of our school year.
Whether you are celebrating Passover, Easter or the end to the week and some much needed family time...we hope you enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!

Bus Expectations
Just a quick reminder that students are assigned to a bus based on where they live and students currently have assigned seats. Due to our current protocols and mitigation plan, we are not allowing students to ride an alternative bus.
Students who plan to travel with a friend will need to make alternative transportation plans (i.e. walk home, bike home, picked up by a parent/guardian, etc.)
Please call our office if you have any questions.
