This year the halfway point is on Tuesday, January 10th. The day will include hallway decorations, lunch treats, and several grade-level activities.

You're almost halfway to your high school graduation, class of 2029!

Students can earn WARRIOR points throughout the building for demonstrating accountability, respect, reliability, involvement, organization, and resilience.

Grades will be finalized by Tuesday, January 17th.

Report cards will be published in Harmony Family Access on Wednesday, January 18th.

My name is Ms. Gallagher and I will be a student teacher for Voyager social studies until the end of April. After that, I will graduate from Indiana University Southeast with a bachelor's degree in Education. A few hobbies I enjoy are reading books, hiking/rock wall climbing, traveling, and attempting to cook new recipes. I am twenty-two years old and a dog mom to a mini Australian Shepherd.

While in college, I was a part of First Generation Scholar, Red for Ed, and Vice President of my sorority Sigma Kappa. A fun fact about me is that I graduated from Scottsburg High School in 2019. I wanted to return to SCSD2 to give back to the very same school that gave me my start. After graduation, I plan to return to grad school in the fall and earn my master's in education. I am so excited to be here with you all while I conclude my bachelor's degree.

If you see me in the hallways don't be shy to introduce yourself or just say hi.

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.
