First Day of Class

Students who are enrolled must report to the commons/bridge area at SM West by 6:50 a.m. to locate their classroom.

Students should bring their SMSD laptop if required, paper and pencil the first day. PE students should dress appropriately and be ready for physical activity.

SMSD Summer Academy follows all SMSD COVID-19 mitigation protocols

Grades

Guardians may view assignments and grades in Skyward Family Access if they have an account. District student grades will be transcripted at the end of the summer. 

Student Parking

Parking is included in your tuition. All students who drive and park on campus should park in in the 85th Street parking lot by the tennis courts or the Antioch parking lot. Students are to drive in a safe and prudent manner when entering and exiting the campus. Failure to do so may result in parking privileges being revoked. 

Technology

SMSD students who enroll in Academy courses requiring technology before the end of the school year will retain their SMSD MacBook for Summer Academy use. Proof of enrollment and payment will need to be provided to the student's home school at the time of device check-in. If a student enrolls after device check-in, they will need to contact their school's administration before June 14 with proof of enrollment and payment to check out their device. SMSD incoming freshmen enrolling in Health Education or Intro to Studio Art must enroll by May 23 for either session. After these dates, enrollments cannot be accepted nor devices provided. All students will turn in devices at the end of their summer course. The Responsible Use Policy and Damage Device Structure is still in effect for Summer Academy as during the normal school year.
