Save the Date for Schedule Pick-Up!


That's a wrap! We had an incredible last day of the school year. We are going to miss our retirees and 8th graders so much but so happy for their next journey. Have a fun and safe summer!


On Wednesdays we wear pink! SMS staff and students showed their support for one of our incredible teachers. So grateful for all of the support from our school family. 🩷#ItsAGreatDayToBeAMustang





Mrs. Connors' FACS classes visited PSE kindergarten classes! Kindergarten students created monster drawings and SMS students sewed their monster based on their drawing and delivered them! What an amazing experience for the kindergartners and 8th graders! #SouthSideStrong





Welcome to the last week of the 2023-2024 school year! Important things for families to do this week:
Check for and pay fines and fees in the parent portal. (Did you know the district currently has more than $80,000 in outstanding meal account payments?)
Pick up any prescription medications from the clinic.
Remember sunscreen and water if your student(s) celebrate Field Day.
Pack a disposable lunch bag if your student(s) pack lunch on the last day.
Schedule your student(s) to get their vaccinations updated if they will be in Kindergarten, 8th or 12th grade next fall so they are ready to return in August.
Watch your email inbox for important updates this summer.
Plan your summer reading list!

South High Grad Walk was an incredible experience for our seniors and our students. Seniors got to walk the South Middle hallways one last time. We were all so proud to see them make it to the finish line! #SouthSideStrong


My girl Jade was brave enough to see the National Anthem during morning announcements! Proud is an understatement. Her version has been one of the best renditions this school year! #ItsAGreatDayToBeAMustang
