This week, visiting artists from STAGES Youth Theater visited 6th-grade ELA classes for two days, thanks to an SEF grant. Their mission is to unlock self-discovery in young people through the transformative power of theater. Students played drama games and learned how reading a play differs from reading a novel. Everyone enjoyed the opportunity to learn and have fun in the process!

We have a new email address for the clinic, msnurse@scarboroughschools.org.

This email will automatically go to both our school nurses to ensure they are both receiving important information.

Our lost and found is overflowing! Please have your student check our lost and found for any apparel that may belong to them. We hope to have all items returned to their owners as soon as possible. Please note that any items not claimed by the last day of school 6/14 will be donated.

FY25 Budget highlights – Investments for effective teaching and learning

This budget allows us to...School leaders have diligently weighed building and district-wide priorities to craft a budget that puts the needs of our students, staff, and community first, respects the fiscal challenges we continue to face responsibly, and invests in the resources necessary to continuously improve learning for all.

Unmet needs...Each year school leaders work to balance district budget priorities with the capacity of our community to provide additional resources. This year that work was complicated by the continued increasing complexity of student needs weighed against concerns about the impact of property tax revaluation on Scarborough taxpayers. As usual, some valuable proposals were discussed and eventually deferred by school leaders during the budget development process. These items are identified here as areas of unmet need for potential future investment.

Families should report their middle school student's absence from school by calling the SMS main office at 207-730-4800 or by email at msoffice@scarboroughschools.org. A reason for the absence must be stated, otherwise SMS office staff will reach out to determine the reason for the absence.

Excusable reasons for an absence:

• illness
• appointment
• religious holiday
• family emergency
• planned absence

For Planned Absences (a day out of school which is not illness or medical appointment related), families should fill out the Scarborough Middle School Planned Absence form, which is found here.

For questions about attendance, please contact the Scarborough Middle School main office at 207-730-4800 or email us at msoffice@scarboroughschools.org
