Scott 6th Grade Center's Motto- "We Enter to Learn and Leave to Achieve"
Thank you!
Thank you so much to all of the families that contributed to the staff luncheon and gifts on Thursday. Our staff was so appreciative of the delicious treats.
Also, thank you to Mrs. Maricova who organized the event and made key chains for every staff member at Scott!
Scott is hosting a FREE event for all families. Scott students who attend will receive a free gift. We hope you can stop by on Wednesday, May 17th anytime between 5- 7:00 p.m.
Focus for the Last Few Weeks of School
During our team meetings last week, we discussed the focus for the last few weeks of school. Students are getting excited for summer and it is getting harder to make good choices. We reviewed our Scott rules of Respect, Ownership, Courage, Kindness, and Safety. However, we narrowed it down even more.
Students were reminded to
1) "Keep their mouths under control." They must use school appropriate language with each other and all of the adults in the building.
2) "Keep their bodies under control." They must keep their hands to themselves. We cannot have students playing tag or running in the hallways and classrooms. We cannot be shadowboxing, slapboxing, or "play" fighting.
3) "Listen and follow directions." Students need to do what they are told to do by the adults in the building. Whether it is to walk rather than run in the hallways, take their hoods off, or move their seat, students need to be able to listen and follow directions.
We discussed that these three rules are more than just Scott rules, they are rules for life and they need to work hard at following them.
I appreciate your support in reviewing these expectations with your students at home as well.

Nurse's Corner
Just a couple reminders to families:
- Students should not be contacting families to be picked up when they are not feeling well. Students need to be assessed by the nurse and calls home will be made as needed. If families want to be called each time their student comes to the nurse, please email Ann Keenan, school nurse (keenana@casdschools.org). It is not standard practice to call home for non-urgent matters.
- Emergency Health Forms were sent home (lime green). If you did not complete the Emergency Health Information online, you must complete the paperwork and return it to the school nurse.
- Covid 19 is still causing illness and absences. Please continue to test and take precautions to avoid further spread. 5 days of isolation followed by 5 days of well-fitting masks is the current CDC guideline. (see below).
- The school nurse will be starting health screenings (Vision, Growth and Scoliosis). If your student has glasses, please make sure they have them for school.
