Step Up Day is when the 5th graders from Sultan Elementary and Gold Bar Elementary come to SMS for a visit! Our 8th grade WEB leaders will help lead a fun assembly and tell them all about the classes, electives, clubs, and sports. This is a great opportunity for the 5th graders to get familiarized with our campus and relieve some apprehension for the transition to middle school.
Step Up Parent Informational Night is for parents of 5th graders to learn about what to expect for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year. It's an opportunity to ask questions, learn about what classes, sports, and clubs are available and get information on PowerSchool and Canvas Parent accounts.
