Student Activities

After School Academy:

ASA is a free after school activity that provides students a snack, homework help, physical activity, and a structured group project, Monday through Friday. The program begins immediately following school, and families may pick up students any time until 6pm. Pick up an application in the SMS Main Office, and you will be contacted to schedule a follow-up Family Orientation with the Site Director, Jeremy Haynes.

ASB:

The Associated Student Body is built into the schedule as a Leadership class offered to 7th and 8th grade students. Going into 7th grade, students can apply to be part of the ASB Leadership Team. This group is responsible for planning and hosting school events such as WEB 6th Grade Orientation, Parent Nights, Fundraising Events, and School Dances.

Drama Class:

Every Spring, SMS co-hosts a musical with the Paper Wing Theater Group. All students are invited to try-out. And, there are a variety of important roles both on and off the stage that make the event a success! In 2019, the group staged, Shrek: The Musical. The 2021 production will be Lion King Jr, and rehearsals begin February 2022.

Girls Inc.:

Girls Inc. of the Central Coast offers programs at our campus that are primarily facilitated by teens, in keeping with their commitment that participating girls and young women are active partners in program design and service delivery. Teen graduates from Girls Inc. are confident, strong, and passionate about working in their communities as role models for younger girls – demonstrating a model for leadership that not only provides these young women with practical skills and experience, but also allows them to reach a broad spectrum of girls. The group meets after school and focuses on assertive communication, health choices, and valuing one another.

PRISM:

PRISM at Seaside Middle School is a student-led club that strives to achieve an inclusive community where all genders and identities are respected and welcomed. PRISM is open to ALL students and provides them a safe place that is 100% free of judgement and built on the confidentiality of all who attend. All are welcome!

Saturday Academy:

Students enjoy spending time with peers and staff during our Saturday Academy. This year, students can improve their attendance by making up for missed school days, but most important, they get to participate in additional academic support, structured physical activity, and project-based learning with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and math. While special invites for students with absences go out prior to each Saturday session, any Seaside Middle School student is welcome to attend each session. Students arrive at 8:15am, and students are dismissed at 12:00pm.

Yearbook:

Working in collaboration with our PTA, the Yearbook Club documents our year in pictures and text. This group meets every week to assign event coverage, design page layouts, and organize pictures for publication. The SMS Yearbook is available for sale in the Spring, and it is distributed at the end of the school year during 4th Quarter.
