Dear Parents or Guardians:                                                                                  August 25, 2023

                              Welcome Back to another great year!  We are so excited to have your student with us and look forward to working with you to make their education here at SCMS the best it can be.  Every Friday I send out “Friday Notes” via an email blast.  I also post them on the website.  Below you will find other ways to stay connected to your child and their teachers as we journey through the 2023-24 school year together.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Thanks for all you do!

  • IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:  We are starting a new behavior system here at the Middle School.  Students will be given two warnings in the classroom and then will be expected to call home from the classroom to report to you their behavior.  We are hoping that given your support many students can avoid an office referral, however, if after calling home their behavior doesn’t change they will be sent to the office and start on the progressive discipline track.  This system is level one behaviors only.  Other behaviors may result in an immediate write-up.  So, please answer the phone and help support us.

News Worth Repeating

  • Along with the routine childhood vaccines, a meningococcal and a Tdap vaccine are required for entry into the 7th grade as mandated in the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) 3313.671. The State of Ohio mandates that students not in compliance be excluded from school after 14 school days (on day 15 which is 9/13/23).
  • Remember to access Progressbook to check your student’s grades and if they have any missing assignments.  Eligibility for sports is checked weekly.  There is now an app for Progressbook on your mobile device as well.
