Greetings Parents,

Kindness, community, leadership, learning, and respect can be seen all around as we go about our school day. Earlier this week, I noticed three amazing seventh graders get up from their lunch table to sit by a new student and welcome him into the SMSA community.

We all look forward to partnering with you for a successful school year. Thank you for making the transition back to school a smooth one for your child(ren).

The Ledger Way is alive and well!

Love and Logic Tip of the Week 

Wise parents never try to convince their kids that their decisions are fair.

God Bless,

Steven Kelnhofer

The South Hall doors open at 7:50 a.m. each morning. They will lock again at 8:00 a.m. when the school day starts. Students are to remain outside in the holding zone behind school if they arrive before 7:50 a.m. This “holding zone” service starts at 7:35 a.m. The other choice would be to enroll in the Before School Care program.

Students will be let in early if it’s determined they will be too wet by standing outside or if it is below zero windchill.

Thank you for your help and understanding.
