If you have any specific concerns about your child's transition, please connect with your child's classroom teacher to discuss. We encourage parents to attend the parent evening as a great way to meet some of the SMS staff and see the space. </span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph" style="text-align: center;"><img src="/images/787be34b-9c3c-4b1c-a88e-925dda01e9f5" alt="SMS Building" width="547" height="410" style="width:547px;height:410px;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>
