Middle School

Last week, 8th grade students in Mrs. Brown's class selected a word to guide their goal setting for the year. They researched the meaning, synonyms, antonyms, and origins of their chosen word and then presented their findings in small groups. #PantherNation #SSMS #Limitless

2025–2026 School Supplies Update 📚 This year, things look a little different when it comes to school supplies! We are excited to announce that the majority of school supplies for students in Kindergarten through 8th grade will be provided by the district! That means families only need to purchase the few specific items listed for their child’s grade level—nothing more. We understand that “back-to-school shopping” is a special tradition for many families, and we still want you to enjoy that experience. But we also recognize that times are tough, and even with the district supplying the majority of items, it can still be a financial strain. 🎒 Need a little extra support? We encourage families to register for the Bright Futures Backpack Distribution, happening Saturday, August 2nd from 10:00 AM–12:00 PM. NOTE: Registration is required by July 21st to participate. (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSenEWQvvVJIjmd2YTSFiYenPV-j5oraQ4gaHhSuM4Ii_Wv1_g/viewform) We’re proud to support our Panther families and help every student start the school year strong! 🐾

Mark your calendars for our Bright Futures annual Backpack Distribution ‼ Students enrolled in the SSSD who need assistance with backpack/school supplies can register to receive one at this event. Online registration deadline: JULY 21ST. Click here to register: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSenEWQvvVJIjmd2YTSFiYenPV-j5oraQ4gaHhSuM4Ii_Wv1_g/viewform
