Dear SMS Parents/Guardians,

As previously stated, the official SMS Operational plan for our building will be released on Wednesday September 3^rd, 2020.  Until that time we can share some information that will be important for Students regarding our start-up here at SMS.

• There will be no 2pm bus run for students this year with the exception of students from Downshore.  Students will still have the option of staying for our 2-3 program (activities) that will be offered in their bubble.  If a student is being driven by a parent, they will have the option of leaving at 2:08 before our activities happens.  All students will be dismissed through the student (gym) entrance.
• There will be no bus passes given throughout the year.   Students will only be granted 1 pick-up and drop-off area.
• Superior Middle School will still only have classes ½ days every Wednesday.  Dismissal times will be similar to last year for busses and all pickups will be at 12:00 noon.
• Students should not be dropped off before 7:50 am.  All students will enter the building using the student entrance (gym) and must be wearing a mask upon entry.  Students will proceed to their bubble classroom and there will be supervision in their area until announcements at 8:15.
• All students must wear a community mask in common areas of the school but will not be required to wear one in their class bubble.  If students cannot wear a mask because of medical reasons a medical note must be provided.
• SMS will begin the year with staggered starting times for each grade level, based on student bubbles.
  • Tuesday September 8^th -Grade 6 students/All 7 late Immersion students.
  • Thursday September 10^th - Grade 7 students
  • Friday September 11^th - Grade 8 students
  • As difficult as it may be, parents cannot accompany their child into the building.  All access to the building by parents/guardians must be by appointment only.

Our staff is looking forward to working with you all this year!!
