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.

Good morning BRAVES families,
Uniform Update:
✅ First round of uniforms, backpacks, and water bottles went out last week.
⏳ Second round of uniforms is expected by 08/18/25 and will be given to students who have not yet received theirs.
Until then, students may wear any Sacaton school shirt with dark bottoms and running shoes (no slides) to remain in dress code.
Thank you for your patience and support!

To ensure your child’s safe arrival to and from school, we follow the transportation information provided in our system, including assigned bus routes.
If your child is supposed to go home by any method other than the bus, please contact our office as soon as possible. Students will be placed on their assigned bus route unless we receive updated information and verification from a parent or guardian.
Thank you for helping us keep all students safe.
Sincerely,
Ms. Dominguez

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.
