Parent Dragon Connection – October 2, 2016:

•Please stay current with your child’s fees, cafeteria charges, and digital repair fees. Students that owe more than $50 will not be able to participate in extra-curricular activities.

•The SMS PTA is asking all parents to join them in supporting the school and their students. The PTA sponsors student dances, the Variety Show, and all Teacher Appreciation events. They also provide grants to teachers for special projects. Your $10 membership goes a long way for the PTA to provide all of this support.
