About Us

Dear Parents and Guardians,

On behalf of Sashabaw Middle School, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of our students and families. Summer is quickly winding down and the staff is awaiting your return. We are very excited to start this school year with lots of opportunities in place for our students. To stay informed, you can access our website to learn about school activities, academic team and elective information, intramural and club offerings, and our PTA updates.

In addition to the website, SMS publishes an online bi-monthly newsletter for our families. Parents not able to access the website may request a paper copy to be mailed home from the main office secretary. We believe our newsletter is a valuable means of communication with our families. Please be certain to take note of the important dates that we also include in these newsletters.
