Converting the Freshman Campus into a Middle School
The 2015 Bond which is funding the high school construction, included funding to convert
the Mount Si High School Freshman Campus (located at 9200 Railroad Avenue in Snoqualmie) into Snoqualmie Middle School (SMS).
|
Preparations over the past few months included: middle school visioning, confirming student enrollment, balancing staff assignments, and designing a new school logo. Currently the leadership and operations teams are reviewing capital needs at SMS that include:
- Library/media center
- Exterior Paint and signage
- Conference rooms/office spaces
- Extra-curricular programming
- Curriculum
- Equipment
|
|
|
|
Students, staff and families helped choose the new SMS logo.
