YES! Day

We are thrilled to share that Solomon Plains Middle School recently partnered with Junior Achievement for YES! Day. The event brought together over 50+ volunteers from local businesses, trades, and services to engage our students in meaningful educational and career experiences.

The YES! (Your Economic Success) program provided a hands-on, interactive morning for our middle schoolers, focusing on career readiness, entrepreneurship, and personal finance. Thanks to our community volunteers, students participated in various activities that emphasized the importance of their education and the impact of their future career and financial choices.

The students attend four sessions including practical experiences in budgeting, resume building, and exploring various trades and business opportunities. This initiative sparked positive conversations among students, encouraging them to think critically about their futures and self-potential.

Thank you to Junior Achievement, YES! Day sponsors and community volunteers for their continued support in providing our students with valuable learning experiences! Click on the More + to see additional pictures.

School Safety

Greetings Solomon-Plains School Families,

As part of our ongoing commitment to school safety, we regularly conduct safety drills throughout the school year. In the next few days, we will hold our October Safety drills, which may include fire drills, lockdowns, restricted movements, evacuations to host facilities, and weather-related drills.

Safety measures are important for ensuring the well-being of our students and staff. To ensure the effectiveness of these drills and maintain our safety protocols, we do not announce them in advance for students and families. This approach helps us prepare our students and staff to respond effectively in real situations.

In addition, we want to remind you of the important security measures in place at our school to ensure the safety of all students and staff:

ID Required: A valid ID is necessary for entry into the building.
Appointments: All appointments and meetings must be prescheduled unless prior arrangements have been made with administration.
Safety Protocols: All visitors are required to adhere to all safety protocols, including screenings through metal detectors and ID checks using the Raptor System.

Thank you for your understanding and support in helping us maintain a safe and secure environment for everyone on our school grounds.

Best regards,
Mr. Correll
