Oct 26
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are approaching the end of our first trimester of school. The trimester official closes Nov. 16th, which is only three weeks away. Skyward is one of the avenues of communication to depict the learning that is happening at SMSA with your child(ren). If you have not yet interacted with Skyward regarding the learning that is happening for your child(ren), please use this web address to support your journey with Skyward.
Our P3 – grade 5 Halloween classroom parties will be held on October 31st. Please see more details from your child’s homeroom teacher. Parents must be SEE trained to attend the classroom parties. October 31st will be our annual Trunk or Treat, held in the upper parking lot. Please look below for more information. It’s so much fun to build community at these events.
Thank you for your continued partnership with SMSA. Together we will create a path for tomorrow’s children to achieve amazing dreams.
God Bless,
Steven Kelnhofer
