I hope this newsletter finds you doing well and enjoying the last few weeks of summer. We have been busy preparing for a wonderful school year. This year we will be welcoming back some 7th graders (while the rest are going to North) and we are looking forward to meeting our new 6th graders.

As you know, Scott has been under construction all summer. The crews have been updating the HVAC system and working on a new roof. The work will continue into the school year and over the summer, but the classrooms will be ready for teachers and staff to arrive on Monday, August 19th and for our students on the first day of school.

Students entering grade 6 and 7 in the fall will choose a book to read from the lists below. Students should complete a graphic organizer for their book and turn it into their English teacher upon return to school. The organizer will be graded as a homework assignment for the first marking period. The due date is 9/23/24.

Use the links below to access your grade’s reading list and assignment.

Dear Families,

My name is Ann Keenan, I am the school nurse at Scott Middle School. As your child’s school nurse, I am responsible for the health needs of your child during the school day. Please let me know if there are any health concerns or accommodations needed for your student to access their education. Good communication is the best way to provide a safe and healthy school environment.

The Pennsylvania Health Department requires all 6th grade students to have a physical examination for school attendance. The physical should include a health history, immunizations, scoliosis screening, as well as the annual growth and vision screenings. Also, all 7th grade students require a dental form to be handed in.

Please visit your family doctor to complete your student’ physical, update immunizations and renew medication requests, if needed. All physicals should be submitted by the end of winter break. Any medication required in school must have proper paperwork completed and delivered to school by an adult. Students are not allowed to carry any medication without approval.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Take care.

Ann Keenan RN
