FRIDAY NIGHT UNDER THE LIGHTS!
We are excited to welcome Ledger fans, visiting team fans and guests to the first Varsity Friday Night Football game in our new Athletic Complex!
As we experience our first season in this new space, we appreciate your patience and grace as we continue to work through home-game logistics. Most importantly, we ask for everyone’s help in keeping home games safe and enjoyable for all.
A FEW IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDERS
- Students should remain inside the gated Athletic Complex throughout the game. Please do not venture to the playgrounds or cross the street to play in surrounding grass areas. These areas are not supervised outside of school hours and have limited lighting after dark.
- The grass area north of the Athletic Complex is private property owned by the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes. Please respect our neighbors and do not enter this area.
- Please leave footballs, Frisbees and other items used for throwing or playing at home. We want to keep walkways and gathering areas safe for everyone.
- We encourage our students and young fans to join us in the stands and help create a fun, spirited Friday night atmosphere!
We are incredibly excited to experience our first Friday night under the lights in our new home. Thank you to our Ledger community and visiting guests for your cooperation, patience and support as we work together to make game night a safe and memorable experience for everyone.

Notes from the Kitchen
Welcome to the new school year! SMSA Food Service is part of the National School Lunch Program and we strive to present tasty and nutritious meals for our students every day. There are a few reminders for the upcoming year. On the Parent Resources page of the website you will find all the necessary forms, pricing, special dietary needs and information for food service. The Food Service payment policy has instructions on food service payments and instruction for setting daily limits using the skyward family access on purchases for your students in the middle school and high school who have a la carte choices. Skyward uses family lunch accounts so when making a payment onto eFunds you should make your payment under one of your children. That amount is shared between all of your customers. There is no need to make separate payments for each child.

Do you have gently used or like new instruments at home?
Do you have a gently used or like new instrument(s) that you are looking to donate? SMSA is looking to add instruments to our band programs for students who are just starting out, in need of help financially, and/or are unsure what they would like to play and may need to try a few different options. Instruments can be dropped off at the North or South office during regular school hours.
Please email gscudella@smsacademy.org with questions.
Has your child outgrown their uniform pieces?
All uniform and spirit wear pieces that your child outgrows, throughout the school year, can be dropped off at the North, South or Scrip office during regular business hours.
If you have any questions, please contact Shannon LaLuzerne at slaluzerne@smsacademy.org or 920-322-8012.
Have Questions? Stay Connected!
Staying connected and having efficient communication is essential to the success of our students. Questions and issues will come up throughout the school year and we want to ensure you have all the information needed when something occurs. To reach teachers, school counselors, health services, principals and other staff members, please call the school’s main office (920-924-0993) and they will connect you with the appropriate department.
