SVMS News

· Wednesday Early Release Reminder: At the request of local merchants and law enforcement, we are reminding all SVMS parents to ensure that your children are not congregating at the local shopping centers on Wednesday afternoons unless accompanied and supervised by a parent.  As great as our kids are, large numbers of unsupervised pre-teens create a nuisance for local merchants and community members.  Thank you for your cooperation and attendance to this restriction!

· Summer Enrichment  Program Deadline Extended!:  Enrollment still open…..See Registration Card and Course Descriptions (attached) for information about IUSD Summer Enrichment options for middle school students.

8:15 am         Students arrive at school, go to Advisement (T.A.)

9:30 am         Picture-taking opportunity and parent/student/teacher farewell after ceremony.  Students also receive Promotion

                                               Certificate at this time. Students may leave with parents when done.

You may also want to know:

We suggest parents bring lawn chairs/and or blankets on which to sit; this will be an informal promotion activity with audience seating on the grass.  There will be chairs for students only.

Students should be dressed neatly and appropriately for 13-14 year olds with nice but not overly formal clothing (no tuxes). Boys should wear a collared shirt and slacks or nice pants (ties optional).  Girls may wear a dress (no strapless, spaghetti straps, or backless dresses) or a blouse with slacks or a skirt.  No high heels please- students will be walking on the grass.

The school dress code applies to all school activities, including the 8^th Grade Dance Party, Awards Night, & Promotion.
