Communication about school delays and cancellations is initially shared via a ParentSquare call/text/message from the Scott 2 Central Office.

On eLearning days the Google meet schedule is then shared with parents via a ParentSquare text/message from SMS and shared with students via a Canvas message.

Parents - Please make sure you have accepted the ParentSquare invitation (and check ParentSquare regularly if you have your notifications turned off).

Students - Please make sure you check your Canvas inbox when we have an eLearning day.

Last Tuesday they held their annual induction ceremony to recognize this year's officers as well as all club members.

There are two ways to order: online (inter-state.com/order with code 73208Y) or via the paper order form that is available in the office.

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.
