Students are required to bring their agendas to EVERY class. Agenda Use Students are required to have and keep a student agenda that will be used as a hall pass, student attendance/class tardy record, homework and assignment record, and as a student/teacher/parent communication device. SMS will use the student agenda as THE record of student absences and tardies, as the only accepted hall pass, and as a permit to attend school activities during the school day. If a student loses his/her agenda, a replacement agenda must be purchased from the office for $8.00. Students are required to bring their agendas to EVERY class.

Make-Up Work Make-up work is students’ responsibility. In the 7th grade, we are beginning to prepare our students for High School. Therefore, it will be the students’ responsibility to get all make-up work. This applies to any absence. We will not remind you to get this work; it is the responsibility of the student. (Makeup work is due within 5 days of the absence).

SMS Locker Fee A locker rental fee will be charged at SMS; it will be $4.00. No student will be assigned their locker until their $4.00 has been paid, not even to store books. Therefore, until you bring in the necessary monies, students will have to carry all books with them to all classes.
