ATTENTION INCOMING 7th GRADE FAMILIES!
We would like to invite your student to join us for our Cats Camp 7th grade orientation on August 12 from 9 - 11 am!
Students will have a chance to meet their staff, navigate their way through the building, get their schedule and see their classrooms, practice their lockers, learn about Schaefer, and have some fun! Cats Camp is an opportunity to get an introduction to SMS expectations and the building before the hustle and bustle of the first day of school.
Students will need to have their own transportation.
We CAN'T WAIT to meet Schaefer's newest students, creators, scholars, leaders! 🤩🤓🥳
