Dear SMSA Parents/Guardians of bus riding students:

The FDL School District and Johnson School Bus are happy to announce that the My Stop app is
now active. It is an amazing tool that allows parents and students to view routing information,
including the location of the bus during the route. Click Here to view the instructions for
downloading the My Stop app.

Your student(s) ID number is located in Skyward under Family Access, on your student’s profile
page. The path or steps for finding this student-specific number is

• Login to Family Access;
• Click the Student Information tab;
• Select “View Bus Schedule” located next to your child’s picture;
• View the bus number.

This number is different than the student/”Other ID#” in SMSA Skyward. Parents will need to
use this student-specific number to access their child’s My Stop account for the first time only. You will then be prompted to assign your own number.

If parents need assistance logging in to the app, they can contact Johnson School Bus (920) 921-
3003 or Wendy Burgess at the FDL District office (920) 906-6524.
Kindest Regards,

Kelly Norton, President

St. Mary’s Springs Academy

• Start the New Year by making a resolution to Shop with Scrip. This is a major fund
raiser for SMSA and also reduces your tuition costs. Use Scrip cards when you shop in
Weekly System Events Calendar
stores or online – 35% of the rebate you earn can be credited to your SMSA tuition or
any tuition based school – the other 65% offsets the operating costs of the system. It’s a
WIN-WIN!

Happy New Year! Looking for new opportunities this new year? Check out the school
volunteer page. Katie Hellmer, the school nurse, is looking for help with hearing and
vision testing (see below). Also the parent connectors are looking for volunteers to help
with their spotlight as well as winter carnival. http://signup.com/go/mUCaoiG

Fond du Lac County Health Department will be at SMSA on February 5, 2018 to do hearing and vision screens on students in certain grades.  I am in need of 12-14 volunteers to help make this day go smoothly.  The times are still to be determined.  Please contact me if you are interested in helping at khellmer@smsacademy.org or 920-322-3206.
