Scott 6th Grade Center
First Day of School- August 28, 2023
Scott 6th Grade Center's Motto- "We Enter to Learn and Leave to Achieve"
Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
Arrival: Busses will begin to arrive at 7:00 and drop off students. Busses pull onto Olive Street and let students out in front of the school. Students will enter the auditorium (entrance on the left side- door number 2) if they do not want breakfast where they will wait until 7:15 when they can be let into the hallways to head to their homeroom. If students are hungry, they will enter the same door, but then head to our cafeteria for a "Grab and Go" breakfast. They will then sit in the cafeteria where they will wait until 7:15 when they can be let into the hallways to head to their homeroom.
If you plan to drop your student off, you do not need to drop them off until 7:15. You will pull onto Olive Street and let your student out in front of the school. (Please be aware of cars behind you and pull up as far as you can). Announcements start at 7:20 followed by instruction.
Dismissal: At 2:08 our dismissal starts. We will begin by sending our walkers out the cafeteria doors at the back of our building onto Stirling Street. They will be immediately followed by our first wave of 8 busses. The busses will be parked outside of the front of our school on Olive Street. The hope is for the busses to pull away by 2:10, but no later than 2:15.
At 2:15, we will begin our parent pick up. Please do not arrive before 2:15 to allow our busses to fill up and be on their way as quickly as possible. Mrs. Murray will be out front asking you who your student is. To speed up this process, we would love if you could write your student's first and last on a piece of paper that Mrs. Murray will be able to read from your car. We are hoping to have all of our parent pick up completed between the two waves of busses.
Around 2:25 (maybe earlier), the second wave of busses will arrive. They will line up single file on the right side of Olive Street (closest to the school). If parent pickup still needs to continue at this time, we will ask families to stay single file on the left side of Olive Street (closest to the field).
I appreciate your patience as we navigate through these procedures at the beginning of the school year. From experience, it does take a couple weeks to get things running smoothly.

Nurse's Corner
Dear Families of a 2023-2024 Sixth Grade Student.
My name is Ann Keenan, I am the school nurse at Scott’s 6th Grade Center. As your child’s school nurse, I am responsible for the health needs of your child during the school day. Please let me know if there are any health concerns or accommodations needed for your student to access their education. Good communication is the best way to provide a safe and healthy school environment.
The Pennsylvania Health Department requires all 6th grade students to have a physical examination for school attendance. The physical should include a health history, immunizations, scoliosis screening, as well as the annual growth and vision screenings.
Please visit your family doctor to complete your student’ physical, update immunizations and renew medication requests, if needed. All physicals should be submitted by the end of winter break. Any medication required in school must have proper paperwork completed and delivered to school by an adult. Students are not allowed to carry any medication without approval.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Take care.
