These 4 individuals are such great examples of our SDMS CORE values! We are so proud of you for representing our school well.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT ⭐

6th Grade - Ellie Blazek is a wonderful example of our SDMS CORE values. She is kind, hardworking, and a great friend and teammate. Ellie consistently puts forth her best effort and treats those around her with care and respect.

7th Grade - Hannah Smithson demonstrates positivity and kindness everyday and is a model for other students. She approaches every task with determination and 100% effort. When faced with a challenging assignment or a tough concept, she never gives up.

8th Grade - Kameron Robinson has shown significant growth and consistently demonstrates a strong commitment to his academics. He participates in class, completes his work, and takes an active interest in his grades. He does a great job of staying on top of assignments and checking in when needed. His effort, responsibility, and engagement in class have been wonderful to see.

STAFF SPOTLIGHT - Becky Light has been working hard to coordinate the sharing of Chromebooks, as this has been such a big change for us. She is always willing to help in so many ways: troubleshooting technology issues, co-teaching special lessons, chaperoning field trips, building relationships with students and teachers, and just being a calm and supportive presence throughout our school every day.

Update: students have boarded bus 80-2 and are on their way to the high school. They will be about 25 min behind. Sorry for the inconvenience!

SDMS parents of bus 50 – the bus has broken down in the SDMS school parking lot. We are waiting on another bus to run the route so they will be a few minutes late. Thank you for your patience.
