The Celebration Situation!
We will be celebrating several accomplishments this week! Read on to know where and when we'll be joining together for recognition.
- The SMS Academic Honor Program is Tuesday night from 6:30-8:00 PM in the West Gym. Students making honor roll both semesters this year will receive neck medallions and we'll be treated to some remarks from our 3-year Gold Medal 8th Graders. All attendees should sign in at the table in the gym upon arrival. Students that don't sign in, won't get their names called! Families can park on the east or west side of the building. Parking will be tight so arrive early! Thank you!
- SMS 8th graders will enjoy a free breakfast celebration on Wednesday at 8:15 AM. The Class of 2023 will receive their 6th grade "Letters to Self" to enjoy during the meal.
- SMS will welcome the Class of 2019 on their district--wide graduation walk on Wednesday at 8:50 AM. We'll line the halls and cheer on the graduates!
- The SMS Spring Award Assembly is Wednesday, June 5th from 9:30 to 10:50 A.M. We'll recognize the Recycling Club, Student Council, SADD Chapter, Art Club, FACS Club, Life Literacy, Perfect Attendance, Character Counts, and all spring sports. Family members wishing to join us can enter the main office door or the back gym door at 9:15.
- Parents/guardians of 8th graders are invited to attend the first SHS Graduation Practice of the Class of 2023 on Wednesday, June 5th. The processional begins at 1:30 P.M. so spectators should be seated by 1:20. Parents can enter in the gym door or the office door. Note: This is not an actual graduation. Instead, it is a 'graduation education' where we learn about the symbols of the ceremony and practice accepting a diploma.

Report Cards
Report cards will be mailed to all parents/guardians by Monday, June 10th. The report cards will include promotion/retention information, as well as information about registration for the 2019-2020 school year.
Sports Updates
We do not have full fall tryout information at this time. If you plan to play 7-8 football, cheer 7-8 football, play 6-7-8 volleyball, play boys tennis, play girls or boys soccer, or run girls or boys cross country, make sure you've done these things:
- Update Harmony to make sure we have your proper phone contact. When summer practices begin, we'll make courtesy calls in SchoolMessenger.
- Update Eventlink. If you know now you are trying out for 7th grade volleyball, go ahead and add that calendar to your family account.
- Get your sports physical! Most sports start BEFORE school starts so don't wait for us to remind you about the need for your medical clearance!
Summer School Starts June 10th
SMS 6th and 7th grade Summer School starts Monday, June 10th at 8:00 AM. All students that were required to attend were notified by mail. All students recommended to attend were also notified by mail. Parents with summer school questions are encouraged to see/call Miss Nass this week! SHS 8th grade Summer School also starts Monday at 8:00 at the SHS main campus.
Closing Comments
Thank you all for your contributions to another great school year. We'll remember the 2018-2019 year with fond memories of the moments we shared and the things we accomplished! We hope that you all have safe and fun summer vacations and that you are ready to resume your formal educations at SCSD2 in the fall!
It's been a pleasure and an honor to have served our school community.
Miss Nass and Mr. Smith
