A message from Dr. Curry...

Dear Tiger Parents:
Whewww! We survived another amazing start to the year at SJMS! Thank you so much for sending us such amazing kids. They are so incredible. There must be some pretty fantastic parenting going on behind the scenes.
The 6th graders are already settling in and making their way around the building nicely, and our returning students are being good role models for our newbies. Even our carpool peeps are doing an amazing job following procedures! Simply the best start ever!
There is an updated dress code in the Student Handbook, along with other pertinent information such as cell phone policy. We will begin enforcing the dress code next week, and we appreciate your help with this effort. Some common items we see are holes in the jeans, bandanas and head scarfs, hoodies over the head, sagging and leggings that are worn without a shirt long enough to cover. Holes in jeans/pants need to below fingertip length or jeans need to be worn with leggings underneath. Bandanas and hair scarfs are not allowed. Hoodies cannot be pulled over the student's head. No sagging. Leggings are not pants☺...shirt needs to cover front and back to fingertip length. Please keep these things in mind while back-to-school shopping.
A few things to know about cell phones: cell phones should not be visible while in classrooms. They can be used in the cafeteria and before and after school. If students have them out in the classroom or halls, the teacher is permitted to take up the phone and turn it into the office. The first time is a warning and the phone can be picked up by the student, the next infraction requires a $15 charge to pick up the phone. Also, earbuds are ok in the cafeteria and before and after school as well, but also need to be out of sight when in classrooms and hallways. At no time should music or other sound come from a child's cell phone where others can hear it. Cell phones do not need to be taken to PE because students do not have lockable lockers. Please also note that taking pictures or videos of ANYTHING/ANYONE in a place of privacy (restrooms, locker rooms, etc.) is against the law. Our coaches talk to students about this, but please make sure to reiterate this to your child. These offenses are turned over to our McKinney Police Department Student Resource Officer.
Our PTO is an amazing organization. Please join this organization because they use all funds to support our students, staff, and community. Thank you in advance for becoming part of such a fabulous organization. This fundraiser goes directly back to our students by providing funds for our 8th-grade Celebration, Teacher appreciation, and much more. Thanks in advance for investing in our Tigers! (Click here for the PTO Form)
You can always check your child's attendance, grades, and much more live in HAC (Home Access Center).
We still have a few POR (proof of residence) forms that need to be collected. If you uploaded your child's POR during online registration, you do not have to turn in a hard copy to us. However, for those who did not upload or did not provide a copy at some point over the summer, please turn it into your child's 2nd-period teacher the first couple of days of school. Make sure your child's name is at the top of the current electric, water, or gas bill. We need one copy per child in your household. Thank you for taking care of this.
Lastly, please go to our SJMS TIGERS WEB PAGE (follow us), SJMS Tiger Facebook Page (like us), and SJMS Twitter Page to stay informed about all things SJMS! This will ensure that you receive all the information that you need to know regarding events, clubs, athletic competitions, concerts, school picture dates, etc. throughout the year. This SMORE newsletterwill be sent every Friday to parents as well with my weekly news that you will get as long as your email is correct in our system. If your email is incorrect, let us know and we will be glad to correct it for you.
Have an amazing Friday!
​Dr. Curry
