Hello SPMS Families, Tomorrow, there is a weather alert and wind advisory due to cold temperatures. Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately, especially if they need to wait at the bus stop. For families dropping off students, please remember that the building opens at 7:45 AM. Similar to last week, on First Alert weather days, as announced by WFSB, we make arrangements for students to enter the building early.
