Silence Hurts

In light of some of the safety concerns that have happened, we would like to reemphasize some of the programs available to the community and students to prevent violence from happening. Broward County Public Schools has a program through the Special Investigations Unit called "Silence Hurts."

The focus of the Silence Hurts programs is that students, teachers, and parents can all make a difference by letting us know when or where a problem will occur.

The anonymous tip line is (754-321-0911), the Web site is (www.broward.k12.fl.us/siu/tips), E-mail address (school911@browardschools.com) and by texting 'SBBC' plus the message to CRIMES (274637). Tips are received immediately by the District's Special Investigative Unit/Professional Standards Department, staffed seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Names and contact information remain confidential.

SSMS Bill Pay

Our school officially went "live" on Monday to start receiving on-line payments. Just type estore.browardschools.com in your browser to get to the website or click on the link "SSMS Pay". Right now, the only items that are allowed for parents to pay are obligations that students owe, like lost media books and lost textbooks and the yearbook. In the future, you will be able to pay for fieldtrips, textbook obligations, ID badge replacements, and more online.

At this time, cafeteria payments can not be paid on-line.
