FROM SMFCSD: URGENT!
Make your selection on the AERIES Portal!!

Dear SMFCSD Families,
This is a reminder message asking you to provide information related to the District’s return to in-person learning by logging into the Parent Portal of the AERIES student information system. The Parent Portal will close at 11:59 pm on Sunday, November 22, 2020. IMPORTANT NOTE: Students will be placed in the Hybrid Model if no selection is made.

Log in to the AERIES Parent Portal
Update family and student data such as contact information, medical history, etc.
Select “Stay with Teacher Whatever They Are Assigned” or “Parent/Guardian Chooses Assignment”: As part of this process we are offering families the opportunity to choose to have their child’s assignment (Distance Learning or the Hybrid Model) be determined by their current teacher’s assignment. As you will read in the instructions, selecting “Stay with Teacher…” will override any other selection you make later in the process. If you want to choose the instructional model for your child regardless of their current teacher’s assignment, please select the “Parent/Guardian Chooses Assignment.” IMPORTANT NOTE: Students will be placed in the Hybrid Model if no selection is made.
Review and confirm receipt of the newly added “Annual Notification of Parents’/Guardians’ Legal Rights and Responsibilities” and any other document / authorization that requires your attention.

Your Chocolate Gifting Helps Out 5th Grade Students!

Laurel's 5th-grade class is running a fundraiser to help with end of year graduation expenses. If you purchase See's for any of the upcoming holidays, please consider shopping through our storefront! Each item purchased returns a few dollars to our 5th Grade Graduation Event fund!

Thank you for your consideration!

Due to COVID-19, we are unable to hold food and clothing drives for Samaritan House's Project Wee Care this year.

Also due to COVID-19, Samaritan House is unable to distribute toys as they have done in the past. Instead, they will spread cheer this year at a safe drive-through gift card distribution in early December. Gift cards from Target will allow families to personalize shopping for each child in their household online, via curbside pickup or in-store.

Please join Samaritan House and help them reach or exceed their goal of 2000 Target gift cards for children in need by November 24th HERE or at: https://www.roonga.com/samhouseholiday
