On Wednesday, November 30th and Thursday, December 1st, the SHS guidance counselors will return to meet with SMS 8th graders regarding course selections for next year.

The Indiana Department of Education awards Family-Friendly School designation to buildings demonstrating a commitment to family and community engagement. This fall, all six SCSD2 schools are seeking the designation, and we need your help!

The evaluation process begins with a series of surveys. Results from parent/guardian, student, and staff surveys will be analyzed and family-friendly improvement targets will be set in areas such as welcoming families, communicating effectively, promoting student progress, collaboration, and more.

To qualify for the full evaluation, we need at least 30% of our parents to provide feedback. The survey is anonymous. Results go directly to the DOE. If you have more than one student in the district, please complete this survey for at least one student at each building.

The link to the survey will be sent to you on Monday, November 28th. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Hammons at 812-752-8926 or khammons@scsd2.k12.in.us. Thanks in advance for providing us Family Friendly feedback!

The cast and directors have been working hard to prepare this performance.

Students, family members, and community folks are welcome to come enjoy their play this coming weekend.

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.
