Message from Ms. Markofski
|
|
| Dear SFMS Parents,
Welcome back to a new and exciting school year. Thank you to everyone who attended our Fall parent/teacher conferences. We hope you enjoyed meeting your child’s teachers and visiting our classrooms to see where your child spends a good chunk of their day. A big thank you to SFMS PTO for providing a dinner option for families, as well as the teaching staff.
Parents have access to PowerSchool to view their child’s progress in all of his or her classes at any time. Please contact the main office if you have not yet logged in to PowerSchool. Your involvement in your child’s education sends a strong message to him or her about the importance of education.
Last, please keep in mind that the teaching staff values open lines of communication. Please do contact them with questions, concerns, comments, etc. throughout the year. Together we can ensure they have a successful and enjoyable school year.
Sincerely,
Meloney Markofski
SFMS Principal

Math News:
As a parent, you play a key role in their math success. Ask questions of your child in their math practice. Have them explain how they solved the problem. Taking an active role, even if math isn’t your strength, will be beneficial to your child. If you need a resource, the math textbook can be found online at www.bigideasmath.com. Students were given their login(Last name First name) and password(SFSD2014) from their math teacher.Read More about Math, Social Studies and Language Arts |
