Uniform shirts and items were handed out to all students as of 08/29/25.
Thank you for your patience!
If your student did not receive their items, please contact the front office.
👕 Just a reminder, here are our Dress Code Expectations for the school year:
Please ensure your student is following them daily.
GO BRAVES!
Our only Q1 sport is Girls Volleyball, so let’s continue to show our support for our Lady Braves this season!
If you have any questions, please contact the office.
Happy Monday, BRAVES!
Come cheer on our Lady Braves this week! (Check out the full schedule.)
Reminders for Game Days:
Students staying after school to watch must turn in a permission slip to the office by LUNCH on Game Day.
No district transportation is provided after games — parent pick-up is required.
Games start at 4:30 PM (JV), followed immediately by Varsity.
All athletes may wear their jerseys on game days(during school) to show school pride!
Let’s pack the stands and show our BRAVE spirit!
After much deliberation and several efforts to increase participation, we have made the decision to cancel the Q1 Boys Soccer season.
Girls Volleyball will be our only athletic program for this season (August–September).
Boys will have the opportunity to join our next sport—Flag Football—beginning in October. Please schedule and complete physicals ahead of time so your athlete is ready for tryouts and the season.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Due to adverse weather conditions, our buses will not be traveling down dirt roads. For your child’s safety, please have them meet the bus at the closest paved road to their regular bus stop location.
If your child will not be attending school due to this change, please contact the office as soon as possible to excuse their absence.
We appreciate your understanding and support!

It’s GAMEDAY, BRAVES! 🏀🎉
Our Q1 sports season has officially begun! The Lady Braves are hosting Casa Grande Middle School TODAY at 4:30 p.m. We hope to see everyone out there cheering on our girls!
Important reminders for anyone attending our games:
• Athletes must be picked up by 6:30 p.m. (end of game) by a parent or guardian (no school bus is provided after home games).
• Parents and students must follow posted signage and remain in designated areas for home games.
• Sportsmanship is a BRAVE’S expectation—for both students and parents. Let’s have fun, show respect, and stay safe.
• Students attending games (who are not athletes) must have a signed permission slip turned into the office before the game. No slip = No game.
We’re excited to kick off the season and appreciate all the support for our athletes.
GO BRAVES!
Cell phone expectations have changed this school year. We are still seeing some students not turning in their phones, and this needs to be corrected immediately.
If a student does not turn in their phone as required, a parent must pick up the device from the principal’s office.
Here is a reminder of our expectations for phones and technology while students are on campus. Please reach out if you have any questions. We appreciate your support in this manner.

We’ve completed our first week of school, and it has been wonderful to see so many students eager to learn and follow expectations. Thank you for helping us start the year off strong!
We do want to make you aware of a concerning trend we've observed on campus. Some students have been opening pens and using the ink to paint their hands and arms, write on their skin, and leave ink handprints on school materials and bus seats.
🚫 Please note: This behavior is not acceptable and will not be tolerated.
Students found with ink on their bodies, using ink inappropriately, or damaging school property will face disciplinary action. In more serious cases, police involvement may be necessary.
At SMS, we are committed to maintaining a safe, clean, and respectful learning environment for all students. We sincerely appreciate your support in addressing this matter with your child and reinforcing appropriate behavior both at school and on the bus.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your continued partnership.
Respectfully,
Ms. Dominguez, M.Ed.
