Good Evening Cobra Families:

This is Sonya Horton, principal of Southern Nash Middle School, with the weekly announcements for Monday, March 4, 2024 - Friday, March 8, 2024.

The end of the 3rd nine weeks is approaching quickly, along with the end of the school year. Please make sure you are checking your child's grades. There will be no summer school for middle school students. If your child is failing classes, please reach out to your child's teacher. Student's will be held to the district promotion standards.

This week in sports: Cross County is at Red Oak on Wednesday, Baseball/Softball is at home against Springfield on Thursday, and Soccer is away at Springfield on Thursday.

Thank you so much parents for making sure your child is following the dress code daily. Hoodies should be SNMS colors only, and students should wear uniform approved pants. Here's the link for the dress/uniform code at SNMS, https://southernnashms.ncpschools.net/o/snms/page/snms-school-uniform-policy

Students are allowed to have their cell phones at school. However, they are expected to be turned off and in their bookbags during the school day.

We look forward to a wonderful week! Have a great evening!

Thank you,

Ms. Horton
