Dear Parents and Guardians,

The school year is moving right along as it is almost to its midpoint. At the conclusion of this week, our Early Childhood Program including kindergarten families, will be receiving their narrative report cards sent home from SMSA through the students' backpacks. It is awesome to see how our littlest of Ledgers grow each day and soak up new knowledge, grow in attaining new skills and build a relationship of Christ. The littlest of Ledgers bring many smiles to those they encounter. Those classrooms are one of my favorite spaces to visit in school.

Catholic Schools Week is coming to SMSA beginning on Jan. 29th. We are asking SMSA families to join us and kick start our week by attending the 10:00am mass at Holy Family. Please wear your Ledger blue and we'll see you there. Additional CSW information will be shared and will include: out of dress code days, bowling days and much more.

Thank you for your continued partnership with SMSA. Together we create a path for tomorrow’s children to achieve amazing dreams.

God Bless,

Steven Kelnhofer

Elementary Principal, SMSA

SMSA Parking Lot Reminders

Three of our Ledger Way core values are community, respect, and responsibility. All three of these are needed by our drivers picking up students after school.

For pick up to work properly, we need to work together in community and role model the right decisions and actions.

• Please do not park in an area that leads to clogging up the round a bout on campus going north. The Hug and Go lane for MS/HS is not as long as drivers are creating it to be at this time. Please be a conscientious and respectful driver so the round a bout can be used effectively.

• There are many spots to park in parking stalls on campus on one of the five parking lots.

• Please use the round a bout as intended. Going through it backwards is not safe or helpful. Being patient to use the traffic patterns correctly will help your child understand proper decision making for the community.

Let's work together with patience, community, responsibility and respect. The traffic flow will be a positive experience if everyone works together, thinks about each other, and uses the best practices of our traffic pattern.

Let's show our Little Ledgers the value of our core values in everyday life!
