Dear SMS Families,

With the conclusion of October comes the wrap up from conferences and celebrations in our community. Below are a couple of quick updates and reminders as we close out October.

This week is Spirt Week at SMS. Students are asked to dress up each day to earn points for their grade levels.

• Wednesday: Senior Citizen Day
• Thursday: Country Western or Country Club day
• Friday: Costume day

As we help our students celebrate, here are a few quick reminders about costumes.

• Costumes must follow the student attire section of our handbook found here.
• No head coverings that cover the student’s entire face.
• Costumes must be weapon free. Fake or real (examples nun chucks/sickles/swords/knives/guns, etc).
• Costumes must not hinder your ability to participate in your classes, including PE. Costumes may not disrupt or impede traffic in the hallway
• Nothing that promotes the use of illegal substances or activities, derogatory or disrespectful or portrays violence.
• Students must show respect for others by not choosing costumes that are insensitive and/or offensive to the diverse backgrounds represented by others at our school.

Most of all we want your students to be able to celebrate in a safe respectful way for everyone at SMS.

Finally, do not forget to bring your family to our haunted drive-thru on Friday night. See information below.

Thanks for all of your support. GO OUTLAWS!
