SMS PTA President's Note - 8/10/21

It was great to see so many smiling, excited faces at Panther Preview and the Back-to-School picnic last week!  

 

It’s hard to believe that the first day of the 2021-2022 school-year is here!  Some students are new to Schimelpfenig this year, others are returning to the building after an extended absence learning @Home, and some 6th grade students may be learning at home temporarily.  We welcome back everyone and have a few pointers for those who will be returning to the building tomorrow, August 11th!

  • Theme Days!  For the first three days of school, have fun and dress for the following:
    • Wednesday is Hawaiian Day!
    • Thursday is Sports Day!
    • Friday is Spirit Wear Day!
  • School starts at 8:25, doors open at 7:50.
  • No lockers this year.  Make sure your student can comfortably carry his/her belongings in a backpack.
  • Bring a reusable water bottle.  Your student won’t have to use water fountains, and it’s good for the environment!
  • Bring a jacket or hoodie.  The school can be cold in certain rooms!
  • School breakfast and lunch are free due to a USDA grant.  Students can always bring lunch if they prefer!
  • Masks are optional but recommended for those who are not vaccinated. 
  • If you get lost – ask for help!  Don’t worry about being late those first few days.  

How can you help your student have a great year and yourself stay informed?
