Vaping Epidemic Among Teens
E-cigarette use has become an epidemic among our nation’s youth and you as the parent have an important role in addressing this issue.
 
Talk with Your Kids
You can influence your children’s decision about whether to use e-cigarettes. Even if you have used tobacco yourself, your children will listen if you discuss your struggles with nicotine addiction. Be clear that you don’t approve of them smoking or using e-cigarettes, and that you expect them to live tobacco-free.

From the Principal
Dear Parents and Guardians,
 
With parent/teacher conferences coming up on the 22nd and 29th, I wanted to share the link for sign-up with you. You can access the sign-up here:

Please take advantage of this opportunity as SFMS staff is looking forward to meeting with you regarding your child’s progress thus far. You have the option to choose which teachers that you would like to meet with unless if you are a fifth grade parent. If that is the case, you should register with your child’s check-in teacher. 
 
If you have any questions regarding this process, please feel free to contact the middle school office at (920) 467-7880. We look forward to seeing you next week!
 
Sincerely,
Middle School Principal
