Wednesday, August 17th

Concussion Screening for Fall Sports
Welcome Message by Mr. Burch
Greetings SVMS Families,
We are excited to get started with another great school year. Whether your child is new to SVMS or coming back for their second year, we want to ensure that they have a positive experience here at Star Valley Middle School. There are a few important steps that you and your child can take to help ensure a smooth start. First look at our website, https://svms.lcsd2.org/ here you can see important information like our school dress code and school supply list.
Next, a couple of important dates to remember. Wednesday, August 17th from 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm SVMS will be hosting our back-to-school night. We welcome all students to come to the middle school during that time. On that day you can pick up your schedule, get your locker and meet your teachers. The first day of school is Monday, Aug. 22nd. This is also the first day of practice for any student that wants to get involved in our fall sports, that includes Cross Country, Football and Volleyball. Make sure that your student has a physical or they will not be able to try out for volleyball or start practice for football or cross country until one is turned into the office.
One last important step that you should take with your child is to ensure they know the town they live in or near and their physical address. This helps us if they are unsure of what bus to get on to get back home to you. In addition, take a moment to visit https://transportation.lcsd2.org/ here you can click on routes and see what bus your child rides to and from school. It is even a good idea to write your child’s address and routes down somewhere where they can access it on that first day.
School is right around the corner; we hope these tips will help your child have an amazing start to the school year.
Best wishes,
Steve Burch, Principal SVMS
