The Cub Chronicles

Dear Cub Family,

I am thrilled to share some exciting news about our students’ achievements! We are incredibly proud of our LinkIt C scores, with so many students meeting and exceeding their goals. Their hard work, dedication, and perseverance have truly paid off, and we couldn’t be prouder of their success.

We also look forward to seeing these strong LinkIt C scores transfer to SC Ready in May, as our students continue to build on their progress and demonstrate their learning.

To celebrate these accomplishments, we are looking forward to a special Cookout Celebration on April 4! This event will be a wonderful opportunity for our school to recognize our students’ achievements, and enjoy some well-deserved fun.

Thank you for your continued support in helping our students strive for excellence.

Educationally Yours,

Ms. Greene

We kindly remind all families of our school’s arrival and dismissal policies:

• 1st Period begins at 8:30 AM. Students arriving after this time will be considered tardy.
• The first two tardies will result in a warning and a phone call home. Additional tardies may lead to disciplinary action.
• Our school day ends at 3:30 PM, and the car line typically clears by 3:50 PM. Please ensure your child is picked up no later than 4:00 PM. If you are unable to pick up your child on time, we encourage utilizing school bus transportation.

Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring our students maximize their learning time. Your partnership is invaluable in fostering a culture of punctuality and academic success.

Last week 3C members and Mr. Kyler volunteered at the Harvest Hope Food Bank. Cubs Club in the Community sorted donated food and packed 278 boxes to help those in need in our community. Way to volunteer Southside!

What a way to introduce the Interwar Period (Great Depression era)! Mr. Moses’ 6th grade social studies classes did a Picture Walk around the classroom in groups, wrote down observations of the pictures on the wall during this era, and drew conclusions on their view of the Great Depression.
