"No U Turn" Sign Installed On County Road K
The Fond du Lac County Highway Department installed a “No U Turn” sign Monday, September 23rd on County Road K. This measure was implemented to enhance safety and improve traffic flow in our area.
Additionally, Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office deputies are monitoring this location and enforcing the new regulation. We urge all parents, guardians and student drivers to adhere strictly to the traffic flow guidelines detailed in the map below. Specifically, we ask that you refrain from parking along the stone wall in front of the North Hall Office, as this obstructs traffic and may cause backups, potentially resulting in citations for U-turn violations. Both the stone wall and the Hug and Go lane in the South Lot are designated for continuous traffic flow, not for parking to drop off or pick up students. If your student is not prepared to exit your vehicle promptly, please utilize the designated parking areas on our campus.
As a reminder, it’s essential to adhere to school bus etiquette to ensure the safety of all students. When approaching a school bus that has its stop arm extended and lights flashing, you must come to a complete stop, regardless of the direction you are traveling. This allows students to board and disembark safely. Always remain vigilant in school zones and be prepared for unexpected stops.
Your cooperation is essential in ensuring the safety of our students and facilitating smooth traffic operations during drop-off and pick-up times. We appreciate your understanding and support regarding this matter.

The Crayon Inititive
We are collecting USED/broken crayons to donate to the Crayon Initiative. The Crayon Initiative is a program which takes used crayons, melts them down, and creates new triangle shaped crayons to donate to Children’s Hospitals across the country. They create the triangle crayons so that the crayons do not roll off hospital trays.
Donation days are December 2, March 24, and May 29. Please bring them to the office or your child’s homeroom teacher on those dates.

Do you have gently used or like new instruments at home?
Do you have a gently used or like new instrument(s) that you are looking to donate? SMSA is looking to add instruments to our band programs for students who are just starting out, in need of help financially, and/or are unsure what they would like to play and may need to try a few different options. Instruments can be dropped off at the North or South office during regular school hours.
Please email gscudella@smsacademy.org with questions.
Has your child outgrown their uniform pieces?
All uniform and spirit wear pieces that your child has outgrown, throughout the school year, can be dropped off at the North, South or Scrip office during regular business hours during the summer.
