Vision: The Sarasota Middle School community collaborates to inspire and empower students by establishing high expectations.
Dear SMS families,
We are seeing an increasing number of students arriving late to school (see a photo of one morning last week at right), and it’s making a real impact on their learning. Even missing just 10 minutes a day adds up to over 30 hours of lost instruction across a school year—that’s nearly a full week of school.
Arriving on time helps students start the day settled, confident, and ready to learn. When students are late, they miss important directions, disrupt their own routine, and often feel behind before the day even begins.
We appreciate your partnership in making sure your child arrives at school on time each day. A strong start makes a big difference!
Thank you,
Mrs. Nzeza
Have a Hoppy Easter! 🐇
