SMSA recently received a call from Johnson Bus company alerting us that parents/guardians (P/G) are not properly using the round-a-bout to exit the South (upper) parking lot. P/G are instead choosing to drive straight up into the bus loading zone near the loading dock to exit.

There has been many hours spent on traffic flow and best practices to ensure safe arrivals and exits. It is imperative that you fully utilize the round-a-bouts and DO NOT drive past the busses to exit. This is for the safety of our students.

Thank you for your joint effort ensuring the safety of our students, your children.

Monies will be accepted through Friday, December 20, 2019 and can be dropped off at school or USPS mailed to: either Andrea Nuss or Valerie Everson (please email – listed below – for address).

As you are aware, the Box Tops program is changing from a ‘Clipping Program’ to a much more efficient ‘Receipt Scanning Program’,  If you haven’t downloaded the Box Tops app, get it at the App Store or Google Play and start scanning for immediate rebates to benefit SMSA!

Please don’t stop clipping…we can still submit those labels until they no longer appear on packaging.

Click here to download the sheet to submit to classroom teachers or to the Scrip Office anytime before the Christmas break OR collect the labels and bring them back by Wednesday, January 8, 2020.

In Addition…

…Scan your receipts and select the Give Credit option to support one of the following areas during this Challenge—Chapel or Field Trips. After Wednesday, January 8th,  we will provide a report in the eLedger so everyone can see the results of our Box Tops scans to support Chapel expenses and Field Trip expenses!

Keep Clipping and Scanning – we’ve earned over $660 so far this year!
