St. Marys Middle School -

Camden Families:

If you are not seeing a bus route for your child in the My Ride K-12 app, please log in to Infinite Campus to verify that the Transportation question was completed during your child’s registration.

We’ve found that many parents unintentionally skipped this step, which prevents the bus route from being assigned and displayed in the app.

Once you have confirmed that the Transportation question has been completed, please allow 24 hours during the work week before checking the My Ride K-12 app. If your child’s bus route still isn’t showing after that time, please contact the Transportation Department at (912) 729-8374 for assistance.

Thank you for helping us ensure a smooth start to the school year!

Are you interested in being a permanent substitute? Contact the school if you are interested and we can help get you started and trained.

Our first student artwork, turned mural, is finally complete! It looks amazing! Our students had created artwork for a mural contest to place in our Media Center. We had two students whose artwork is being turned into murals. Our first student was Shaneel Dobson (8th). A very special thank you goes out to our parent volunteer, Courtney Vickery, who painted the mural for us. A huge thank you to Lowe's in Kingsland for donating all of our supplies for the murals- paint, brushes, buckets, drop clothes, rollers and various other items!!

7th Grade Field Day A sunny day full of fun and energy! Students enjoyed tug-of-war, water balloon tosses, and more. With music, snow cones, and cheers all around, it was a perfect day of teamwork and laughter.

Teacher Appreciation Week: Throwback Thursday

Technology warning: A concerning TikTok trend, known as the #ChromebookChallenge or #ChromebookDurabilityTest, has emerged, involving students inserting metal objects like paper clips, pushpins, and aluminum foil into the USB ports of school-issued Chromebooks to intentionally cause electrical short circuits. This dangerous behavior has led to device fires and prompted evacuations at several schools in Connecticut, including Newington, Cromwell, Derby, and Southington High Schools. For more detailed information, you can read the full article here: https://www.wfsb.com

We have many talented students here at SMMS, and they created a magazine that celebrates their work.
