It's time for the Crazy Christmas Challenge! Students who complete 10 of the activities (and have an adult initial the box) will be eligible for a prize the first week we come back in January. Students who participate will need to turn in the calendar on January 4th or 5th to receive a prize.
We hope all of our students will participate and have fun doing the crazy Christmas Challenge!
Just a reminder that we will dismiss at 11:30 tomorrow with 4K and 5K car riders beginning at 11:15. There is no ASC and no afternoon 4K.
We will have the last bus routes so students may not leave SME exactly at 11:30. If your student is a bus rider, expect delays. Go Lions!!
We need your help! If you use the playground or kindergarten courtyards after hours, we would appreciate your care of the facilities. Please throw trash away and leave the area as you found it. Thank you!

During the week of August 16-20, breakfast and lunch is available for pickup each day in front of the cafeteria between 10 and 1. Buses will begin delivering meals on Tuesday as well. All students are able to receive a free breakfast and lunch each day.
Good morning! I wanted to clarify device and packet pickup for our SME students.
K and 1 students will have a packet to complete for this week. This packet can be picked up on Tuesday between 10 and 3. Teachers are in the process of compiling this, and it will be ready by Tuesday.
Grades 2-5 students can pick up devices either today or tomorrow. Today's hours are 3-5 pm. Tomorrow's hours are 10-3.
To keep the line manageable for pickup, we will have devices available around the school. I apologize in advance if you have students in multiple grade levels.
Devices for grades 4 and 5 will be in front of the kindergarten wing.
Devices for grades 2 and 3 will be in the bus loop.
Packets for K and 1 will be in front of the cafeteria.
If you have questions about pickup, please contact your child's teacher.
Have a good day and stay well!
Just as a reminder -
Classroom doors open at 7:30. We actually begin unloading cars around 7:27. Teachers begin providing instruction and learning at 7:30. At 8:00, the tardy bell rings. After 8:00, the "turtle" will be put out and parents will have to come in to sign in the student.
If your child arrives at 8:05 daily, he/she could be missing up to 35 minutes of instructional activities in the classroom. We encourage you to arrive between 7:30-7:45 if at all possible.
Unexcused tardies are coded in Powerschool and count towards attendance.
We want your students in the building as close to 7:30 as possible! Thank you for your help with this!
If it is raining in the morning, parents may walk students to their classrooms instead of meeting teachers outside.
