Eagle News
SME newsletter for families and the community
Dear Parents,
I hope this message finds you well. When we return from Spring Break, we will only have two months of school left. This year has gone so fast!
First and foremost, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to you for your ongoing support and partnership in your child's education. Your commitment to their growth and development is invaluable, and it truly makes a difference in our school community.
This school year, our students have engaged in a multitude of learning experiences, both inside and outside the classroom. From academic achievements to extracurricular accomplishments, each success is a testament to their hard work and dedication.
As we near the end of the year, I encourage you to take some time to reflect with your child on their progress and achievements thus far. Celebrate their successes, acknowledge their challenges, and remind them that every experience is an opportunity for growth and learning.
Additionally, I want to remind you of the importance of staying connected and engaged in these final weeks of the school year. Whether it's attending virtual parent-teacher conferences, participating in school events, or simply checking in with your child about their day, your involvement continues to play a vital role in their educational journey.
As we prepare to close out the year, please know that our faculty and staff are here to support you and your child every step of the way. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to create the best possible learning environment for our students.
Thank you once again for your unwavering support and dedication. Together, we will finish this school year strong and set the stage for continued success in the future.
All the best,
Melissa Terry

Building Character at SME
Each month at Six Mile Elementary, we focus on different character traits and talk about ways to show those traits to others. We discuss the trait in morning meeting in our classrooms. We spotlight the trait on the school news show. Mrs. Orr, our guidance counselor, goes into classrooms and does special lessons with the trait. At the end of each month, we have a Best of the Nest party to honor those students who "shine" in that area.
This month, our word is PATIENCE.
PATIENCE is being willing to wait for something you want now.
It's Not Too Late to Enroll Your Child at SME for next year!
Absence Notes
If your student is absent, you have three days to send a note stating the reason for their absence before it is counted unexcused. You can send a handwritten note or you can email Stephanie Merck at stephaniemerck@pickens.k12.sc.us. You can also email your child's teacher.
When students have accumulated 3 absences in a row without a note, Mrs. Plyler will have to schedule a meeting for an Attendance Conference. Please make sure to get your note in so that this does not happen.
