Dear Parents and Guardians,
The first quarter will come to a completion on November 5, 2021. Skyward gradebook will be closed from November 5th through November 11th. First grade through eighth grade parents will be receiving electronic report cards on November 12, 2021 in Skyward. On November 12th, Skyward will reopen and parents/guardians will be able to view and sign their child’s report card. To view the report card please log into Skyward. Select your child. Scroll down to Portfolio. Select the report you would like to view or print. It’s that easy. Please contact the South Hall office if you need support. Early Childhood and Kindergarten will receive their first report card in January.
The MAP scores for grade two through eight were sent home on Wednesday via backpacks. Please reach out to your child or homeroom teacher if you did not receive them.
Thank you to the Parent Connectors and students and parents for the awesome Trunk or Treat event. It was well attended and full of Ledger Spirit and Ledger Way Core Values. Thank you for your support of the grade 6-8 dance as well on Friday. The students had a blast.
Thank you to parents that supported the classroom Halloween parties. Thank you for supporting SMSA in numerous ways to make the parties a wonderful time for the students.
Thank you for your continued partnership with SMSA . Together we create a path for tomorrow’s children to achieve amazing dreams.
God Bless,
Steven Kelnhofer
