It is my sincere hope that you are equally invigorated by the recent announcement to reorganize our academic model to enhance student development and improve learning outcomes. The reconfiguration of SMSA to an Elementary (PreK-8) / High School (9-12) model took effect this academic year and aligns with best practices of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Impact on you should be minimal, and I ask for your support and patience as we move through the coming months to make the necessary updates on signage, website, communications, etc. 

If you are not familiar, please reference the eLedger from Thursday, August 29, 2019 by clicking here.  Then scroll down to Reorganization of the Academic Model, in my opening message.

In your service, 

Stacey Akey

Week one of the NFL season is in the books, but you still have 16 weeks for a chance to win weekly cash prizes when you return your NFL Sports Blitz Cards along with payment to school.

Thank you to everyone who completed the annual health history forms during Open House to keep on record. If you have not returned the forms, please send them with your student asap.

If your child(ren) has a medical condition (allergy, asthma, etc.) that needs attention while they are at school or a medication at school, please contact me. Special forms need to be completed, the staff that will be with your child(ren) during the day need to be aware and trained on any medication needs.

If you have any questions, please contact Katie Hellmer at khellmer@smsacademy.org or 920-322-3206.

Thank you for your support!

There is a new way to pay for your Scrip online!  In addition to linking a bank account and using PrestoPay, you can choose the option to pay for gift cards with a credit card. Visa and Mastercard are accepted and the rebate is the same any way you pay. A 2.6% fee is added to your order total each time you pay with a credit card, but that fee is easily offset by the rebates you earn! You will also have instant access to eGift cards and reload.

Don’t delay – Shop today!
