Backpacks may be used to transport materials to and from school. They must remain in student’s locker during the day. Small backpacks, string backpacks, purses and large tote bags will be treated like backpacks and must remain in student’s locker.

These expectations will be sent out through Connect Ed to the parents and through admin video to be shown in CT to the students.

In order to honor birthdays at SGMS, students will be limited to saying happy birthday to their friends on the microphone in the cafeteria at lunch. (Please do not bring outside food, balloons or other celebratory items.)
