TDAP VACCINATION for CURRENT 6th GRADERS
It is time for all 6th grade families to start thinking about the TDAP vaccination. This vaccine is required by the state of South Carolina for all students entering the 7th grade. Please do not wait until the last minute to make an appointment. Students who do not have documentation of TDAP on file may not be allowed to attend school until they do so. If you have questions, please contact our school nurse, Emily Barnes, at emilybarnes@lcsd56g.com or (864) 938-1678.

CMS T-SHIRTS ON SALE!!!
PURCHASE CMS YEARBOOKS!
CROSS COUNTRY
CHROMEBOOKS
At the beginning of the year, each student was issued a Chromebook, a charger, and a Chromebook case. If all three of these items are not returned at the end of the school year, students will be charged to replace them. A Chromebook is $400, a charger is $60 and a case is $25. If all three items are not returned, or if a student does not pay to replace them, the student will not be given a report card at the end of the year. The student will also not be given a device to use next year. If a student currently owes fees for Chromebook damage, that must also be paid in order to receive the report card and a device next year. These charges will follow students to high school, so this announcement applies to all three grade levels.

MOBILE PHONE POLICY
Students should know that cell phones, headphones, earbuds (for non-academic purposes), and other similar devices cannot be visible and should be placed out of sight upon entering Clinton Middle School. These devices are not allowed at any time that students are in the building between the hours of 7:30am and 3:45pm. Students who violate this policy will receive consequences and repeat offenders will receive out of school suspensions. Please review this policy with your child. Parents should know that if they need to communicate a message to a student at Clinton Middle School, they may do so by calling (864) 833-0807.
PHYSICAL ALTERCATIONS at SCHOOL
Fights and all other physical altercations pose a very serious threat to students and staff members. Maintaining a safe environment for everyone is our top priority. Effective immediately, any student involved in a fight or physical altercation will be suspended from school for a minimum of 10 days and will automatically be recommended for expulsion. Additionally, any student that instigates a fight or physical altercation will face the same consequence of 10 days of out of school suspension and will also be recommended for expulsion. Please keep in mind that students can receive these same consequences for making threats to fight, jump, or harm others. All of this has been communicated to students repeatedly since the first day of school.
