The SMS PTA

Parent involvement is a critical aspect of the success of our school and our children. The connection between home and school is vital in any educational endeavor, but it is especially important at the SMS. The school requires a significant commitment of time and energy from every family. At home, the children need parental support in their academic work and their music practice. At school, there are many ways to be involved and work for our children's benefit.
