Happy August, Squire Families and Friends!

Thank you for helping us kick off the 2026–2027 school year with such a strong start! It has been wonderful welcoming our Squires back to The Fortress, and we are looking forward to an outstanding year together.

Communication is essential to a successful school year, so each week I will be sharing the Sneed Spotlight to keep our families informed about important updates, celebrations, upcoming events, and all that is happening at Sneed Middle School.

📣 Town Hall Meetings with Our Squires ⚔️

Yesterday, our students came together for our annual Town Hall Meetings as we officially launched The Squire Standard: Good. Better. Best!

During each session, we reviewed our schoolwide expectations, procedures, and the values that will guide us throughout the year. By establishing a clear understanding of what excellence looks like from day one, we are setting every Squire up for a successful, safe, and productive school year.

At Sneed Middle School, we believe that every day is an opportunity to grow. We challenge our students to never settle, to keep striving for improvement in the classroom, in the hallways, on the field, and in our community.

Good. Better. Best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best. 💚⚔️

Here is to an incredible year of learning, leadership, and excellence!
