Even if you don't have students participating in activties, please come out and show your support for the great kids we have at SMS. If you're unsure as to our events schedule, all activities are listed on the activities calendar located on the SMS homepage: http://spearfish.k12.sd.us/sms/index.html. Students also need your support in their academic endeavors. Consider setting up a regular time to talk about what is going on in their classes, review homework, and to log on to parent portal to check their progress.
