From the Nurses Office...
Wednesday, May 11, 2022, is National School Nurse Day! Bridging Healthcare and Education today and every day.
Medications in the Nurse’s Office
As the end of the school year approaches, please remember a parent or guardian must pick up the medicine by 06/01/2022. Policy regulations require the disposal of ALL medication, prescription and non-prescription, which are not picked up. The school cannot store any medication over the summer.
Updated COVID-19 Guidelines
In accordance with guidelines issued by SCDHEC on February 22, 2022, Horry County Schools will discontinue all COVID-19 contact tracing, quarantines, and the Test-to-Stay program beginning Thursday, February 24, 2022. Per the revised SCDHEC guidelines, only students who received a positive test result must isolate at home for a minimum of 5 days. Provided that they are symptom-free, these students may return to school on day 6 if they wear a mask for days 6-10. Parents of a student who received a positive COVID-19 test result should submit the positive test result to the school so that the student’s attendance will be coded correctly. Because of the new SCDHEC guidelines, parents no longer need to submit negative COVID-19 test results to their child’s school.

From the Library...
The last day for students to borrow a book from the Library will be Friday, May 6th. All books must be returned by June 1 - the Library is closed during the summer months.
Congratulations to Ashlen Miller in 7th grade who was our Reader of the Month!

Congratulations to the winners of the plush bear raffles in celebration of school library month. The winners were Nikolas Chacon (below), grade 6 from Mrs. Hill's homeroom and Telise (Bubba) Barra, grade 8 from Mrs. Myers' homeroom. Thank you to everyone who checked out a book and entered the raffle!

From the Cafeteria...


Our work for the year isn't done yet!! We will finish up the school year with 3 more pretzel sales, field day, award ceremonies, the 8th grade picnic, and the purchase of additional outdoor seating for our students.
There is still time to make a contribution and support our end of year initiatives - https://sms-pto-direct-donation.cheddarup.com. If you own or work at a local business that is interested in donating to our teachers or our school activities, please email socasteemiddlepto@gmail.com
As we close out the year and begin preparation for the new school year, it's time to collect contact information for those parents and guardians wishing to stay informed and possibly get involved in the PTO. By completing this form, you will receive email updates of events, meetings and minutes for our PTO. There is also the ability to join one of our committees.
