Dear SMSD Parents, Guardians & Staff:

Summer school 2008 was well attended.  I want to thank all of you who helped make this summer a positive learning experience for our students.  We offer a summer program to prevent academic regression for all students and to provide work experiences for our high school students.  This summer’s theme “Teaching Green” afforded limitless literacy building opportunities.  Field trips and class projects supporting the theme enhanced student understanding and awareness of their role and impact on the environment.

We also offered a Basketball Clinic that was well attended by elementary, middle and high school boys and girls.  Thank you to all who made this a success. 

Interviews were completed for fall sports and Athletic Director positions.  Anne Kist was appointed the Athletic Director for the 2008-2009 school year.  Sue Wantuck was appointed the Volleyball Coach and Pam Rohring will be her assistant.  Jim Carmody was appointed the Varsity Soccer Coach and Kris Salasavage will be his assistant.  Bryan Book was appointed the Elementary Soccer Coach and Dionna Wilson will be his assistant.  Basketball and Track interviews will be completed in September.

UPCOMING EVENTS:

1.  PTO meeting on August 27, 2008 at 5:30 p.m.  Please make every effort to attend.
     Notices will be posted as to the exact location when you sign in at the switchboard.

2.  Homecoming will be held Saturday, September 20, 2008.  Please try to attend.

3.  Deaf Awareness week will be held September 22-27.

Please remember you have the opportunity to recycle when you visit.  You can recycle ink cartridges from your home and office printers, paper products including newspapers and magazines. 

Encourage your sons and daughters to read in the last few days of the summer.  Research continues to tell us that reading daily improves literacy.

I am looking forward to Orientation Day on September 2, 2008 and the first day of school for students on September 3rd.

Sincerely,
Timothy M. Kelly
Interim Superintendent
