A message from Dr. Curry...

Tiger Parents!

Happy Mother's Day.  I hope you have enjoyed the beautiful weekend.
 
What a successful year for our new initiative of Tiger Pride Time Advisory Period. Students and teachers alike have had a great time with this and we plan to continue it next year. Thank you to all of our students and staff for making this a great addition to our school week.
 
STAAR testing round 2 is next week. Please make sure your child gets ample rest and eats healthy leading up to these tests. They are prepared and ready to go...let's go show our stuff!!
Monday- 6th/7th grade Math and retest for 8th grade Math SSI
Tuesday- 6th/7th grade Reading and retest for 8th Reading SSI
Wednesday- 8th grade Science
Thursday- 8th grade History
 
Brain Drain - Students have had the opportunity to purchase tickets for our annual SJMS Brain Drain!  This is an opportunity for students to go outside and let off some steam after a hard week of testing.  It is $2 dollars and the money will go to our campus Health Committee and will benefit the National Heart Association.  Thank you Nurse Kerr and our SJ Health Committee for all of your hard work this year.  Additionally, SJMS we will be awarded later this month for our National Health Award.
 
As we wind down the year, please keep in mind dress code still applies, tardies still count, and attendance is very important. Let's make the end of the year the absolute best we have ever had!!
 
Fun  Events planned for the end of the year!
May 17-SJ Cane's Night
May 30-AVID End of the Year Celebration-Dave and Busters 9-2 
June 1-8th Grade Celebration Trip
June 4-5th Grade Shadow Camp Day for all 5th graders coming to SJMS next year.

Have an awesome week, I know we will as our kids show off all that they have learned during testing.

MISD Launches InfoSnap Student Enrollment System for 2018-2019 School YearIn an effort to make the online enrollment process smoother and more convenient for parents, McKinney ISD is launching the InfoSnap enrollment system for the 2018-2019 school year.
There are several steps involved in the enrollment process, and the place to start is the district’s 2018-19 New Student Enrollment webpage which offers a link to InfoSnap, a guide to the process and an FAQ section that may prove helpful.
All MISD parents will eventually need to create an account in InfoSnap. Parents of students new to MISD in 2018-19 can access and begin using the InfoSnap system on May 1. Parents of returning students will receive a “SnapCode” in July that will allow them to set up their InfoSnap account. Additional information about the SnapCodes for returning students will be released as we get closer to July.

Red Nose Club

​The Red Nose Crew will be hosting a family movie night on May 4th! The movie will begin at 4PM in the SJMS cafeteria. A bag of popcorn will be given to each ticket holder. We will also have the concession stand open and CLAWFEE available!! Tickets are just $5/person and will go on sale during all lunches the week of April 30th.
 
The movie will be Queen of Katwe, a movie based on a vibrant true story starring Lupita Nyong'o and David Oyelowo.
A Ugandan girl's life changes forever when she discovers she has an amazing talent for chess, in this celebration of the human spirit.
 
All money collected for ticket sales will go directly to the Red Nose Day campaign to help children beat poverty. Thank you for supporting our Crew!
