Upcoming SPMS dates to remember!
Each year, we ask families to complete school forms, and now is a great time to do so. All forms are completed online through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal—no more paper, and only one submission per household, even if you have multiple students.
These forms are required for every student and help us:
✅ Continue offering free breakfast and lunch to all students
✅ Provide access to school health services
✅ Make sure your child is included in the yearbook and other school events
✅ Support the programs and services that benefit every student
Thanks for helping us get the year off to a strong start.

Dear Parent/Guardian,
This is a friendly reminder that all end-of-year trip permission forms and payment are due by 7:55 AM this Friday, May 8th.
This deadline is firm, as we must submit final attendance numbers to our trip destinations (Holiday World, Kart Kountry, and Malibu Jacks). Having accurate numbers ahead of time allows us to ensure an efficient arrival process and maximize the amount of time students are able to enjoy their experience at each location.
Quick Reminders:
Please return the completed permission form and admission payment.
Checks should be made payable to Stuart Pepper Middle School.
Forms and money are collected in the commons area.
If your child is not attending, please still return the form indicating that choice.
We are excited to celebrate our Rising Tides Gold, Silver, and Bronze Card students with these end-of-year experiences and appreciate your help in meeting this deadline.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
Thank you for your support,
David Phillips
Principal
Stuart Pepper Middle School

Your must have a student that is attending SPMS for the 26-27 school year.
An email will be sent out on Thursday, May 7th advising all families of the candidates. A link will be included in the email that won't open until the day of the election starting at 8:00 a.m. and ending at 3:00 p.m. Online voting will require parents to enter their Student's State ID number, found on the Infinite Campus App, to ensure that all counted votes are cast by parents/guardians of 26-27 SPMS students.

Results of that election will be given to the council at their May meeting and each candidate will receive notification of the results.
We appreciate your time and consideration.
