Scarborough Middle School
Family Newsletter for 11-12-2021
Hello Scarborough Middle School Families,
Pool testing at SMS will begin on Tuesday, November 16 for the students who have signed up. A student must be present at the time their pool is tested due to the time sensitive nature of the testing. We will be using the following schedule:
Period 1: 8:00-8:53 - 6th Grade Pools
Period 2: 8:55-9:48 - 7th Grade Pools
Period 3: 9:50-10:45 - 8th Grade Pools
Here is a link to a brief video that shows students swabbing in a classroom.
Your child’s final Q1 grades are viewable in PowerSchool today. The SMS website page for Grading & Reporting page has more information on how to use PowerSchool and view grades. If you would like a paper copy to be mailed, please contact Vicki Lemelin at vlemelin@scarboroughschools.org.
Respectfully,
Kathy Tirrell, Principal
David Currier, Assistant Principal
