Dear Sarasota Middle School Families,

We have been thinking of you and hope you fared well during this terrible storm! We are in the process of evaluating the state of our campus and the needs of our staff. Luckily, our campus received minimal damage overall – just many downed branches, ceiling tiles, minimal water damage, etc. Our school gym, however, was impacted more and will require some significant repairs before we can use it again. All of that said, we look forward to getting back to some normalcy and seeing all of you again!

As our community responds to the devastating impact of Ian, we want you to know Sarasota County Schools is working to restore our schools so we can welcome back our students on Monday, October 10^th.

Families may be looking for ideas to keep their students engaged during this time. Students with internet access can go to Gradebook and can work on assignments that may have been missing prior to the hurricane.  Similar information may also be available on platforms like Blackboard or Microsoft TEAMs.

Additionally, online resources are available through MySCS.
