SMS Parents,
As we are beginning to ramp up to the start of our school year, we wanted to send a reminder home about appropriate clothing for school. All garments must completely cover the upper and lower body, and must cover the waist at all times. Skirts, shorts, and skorts must be mid-thigh or longer; and underclothing should NOT be visible. All shirts must have a single shoulder strap that is at least 2” wide.
If you are questioning the appropriateness of your child’s clothing, please encourage them to bring something else to change into. If the administration determines an outfit unsuitable, they will be required to wear something else for the remainder of the school day.
Please view our Dress Guidelines in its entirety on pg. 10 of the Middle School Handbook, linked below.

Remember to send your 6th grade student to WEB Orientation on Friday, August 20 from 9am until noon.
