Scottsburg MS welcomed five teachers to our faculty for the 2022-2023 school year.

Mrs. Lisa Mann, 7th grade special ed teacher, shared this bio:

I grew up in Carmel, Indiana, but spent every moment I could with my grandparents in Little York. We got to move to the family farm in 2019. We completed the sale of our home in Indianapolis exactly two weeks before the country shut down due to Covid, but we love it here in Southern Indiana.

I graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University with a bachelor of science in accounting, and I am returning to IWU to complete my transition to teaching work.

I enjoy bowling, reading, gardening, and spending time with my family. I have raised 6 children, and I am very proud of all of them. My youngest just began high school in Salem this year. We are a very close family and it is always fun when we get together. I also have 3 grandchildren: Adi (13), Eddie (6), and Ella (3) who are so much fun!

The Scottsburg MS student handbook contains some significant updates for the 2022-2023 school year. The most significant changes took place in the discipline section.

Here are the highlights of three changes that will impact the largest number of students:

• Cell phones are still not allowed to be used during the school day here at SMS. Phones are expected to be turned off and stored in lockers. Students who are carrying a cell phone or using a cell phone during the school day are in violation. The consequences for each situation are outlined in the handbook.

• Second is illegal substances. This year students who have illegal substances and/or paraphernalia (most common examples are vapes, cigarettes, or alcohol) will be recommended for expulsion on the first offense.

• In an attempt to be more aligned with the high school discipline policy, we will be following a progressive discipline approach. This means that when a student commits the same offense multiple times, the discipline will get progressively more serious. Each example is outlined in the doc that is provided by clicking on the picture above or via the link below.

We encourage you to read the handbook with your child(ren) and to contact us with any questions you may have.

We are looking forward to working with our students and their parents throughout the upcoming school year.
