EAGLE WEEKLY
SMA HIGH SCHOOL

FROM OUR ASSISTANT HEAD OF SCHOOL
Good afternoon,
We are looking forward to a FANTASTIC freshman lock-in tonight! This event will be something that your cadets will always remember. Stay tuned for pictures!
Please note on your calendars that next Friday, October 19th is a Professional Day, no school for cadets that day.
As we near the end of first quarter, I encourage all families to take some time to rest, reflect and re-energize to tackle the challenges of second quarter. Grades should be available via Parent Portal after October 20th.
The winter sports season will begin in the next few weeks. If your cadet is interested in basketball, lacrosse, soccer or wrestling, make sure that they speak to our Athletic Director, Amy Mazner for details.
As always, have a safe and wonderful weekend!
SMA-LTC Abby Williams
