Salisbury Middle: On Tuesday, Aug. 27 from 4-6 p.m., the Salisbury Middle administration, faculty, staff, and PTA will welcome SMS students and their families to a new school year during a Back-to-School Open House. Parents may turn in information from the back-to-school invitation packet any time up to and including the night of the open house. Once these documents have been accepted, the student is eligible to receive his/her schedule for the school year. Come chat with new and returning members of the SMS leadership team: Principal Terance Dunn, Assistant Principals Jen Mudd and Brent Lewis, and Deans of Students Michael Morris and Rachel Thompson (formerly an SMS NexGen STEM teacher).  

Please note that for NexGen STEM Program students and their parents and guardians, the Back to School Meeting for all grade levels will be from 5-7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 26. In this meeting format, expectations for all three grade levels of NexGen will be reviewed, followed by giving out of student schedules, offering building tours, providing time for students and parents to walk through the student’s schedule, and answering any questions.
