Mission: Sarasota Middle School students will become critical thinkers who are responsible, productive, and resilient.
Vision: The Sarasota Middle School community collaborates to inspire and empower students by establishing high expectations.
To All Families:
Student behaviors are ramping up a bit as we round out the school year. Please remind your children that actions have consequences. We will hold them accountable for infractions of dress code cell phone, and behavior policies.
The 6th and 7th graders will receive their yearbooks on Friday, May 22nd. If you did NOT purchase a yearbook, unfortunately, we do not have extras.
To 8th Grade Families:
The 8th grade promotion ceremony tickets will be sent home Monday, May 18th. Please check your child's backpack.
Yearbooks for 8th graders will be handed out on Thursday, May 21st in advisory.
We need volunteers for our 8th grade events. Please see below and reach out to our PTSO.
As we prepare for our May 22nd (Dance) and May 27th (Promotion), we know many students will want to leave school early on these days to prepare for the occasions. Due to the number of early checkouts expected, we have created an "Express Pickup Microsoft Form" to shorten wait time.
Express pickup will only be available from 12:50 PM – 1:50 PM on May 22nd and May 27th. There may still be a long line, but it will significantly reduce your wait time. Please see a flier in Documents to Download for the specific links to register for early pick up.
ALL students/family members will be required to walk through the metal detectors at RHS (see image above right). Plan on arriving a little earlier to ensure you have time to go through the metal detectors and get a seat. We begin the ceremony on time and you will not want to be late. Please see below or attached for details on what NOT to wear/bring.
💛 Thank You for Being Our Partners in finishing the 25-26 school year strong.
