Principal's Greeting
As we near the end of the year, we want to make sure that all of our scholars have the opportunity to be successful, so I want to remind you that this Wednesday, May 24 is the last day for students to turn in missing or late work. Any assignments not turned in by Wednesday will not receive a grade and will most likely result in a zero entered into teacher gradebooks. Please make sure that all assignments are complete to the best of your ability and turned in by Wednesday.
We will be sending home letters on Friday for any students who will be retained due to unsatisfactory grades.
In addition, we will start Chromebook collections this Friday. The first group to turn in their Chromebook will be our 8th grade scholars. Keep in mind that a lost or damaged Chromebook will result in a charge of $300. Lost power cords will result in a charge of $40. Students who do not pay these fees by Tuesday, May 30, will not be allowed to participate in end of the year activities.
Ms. Rowehl

Young Adult Books in the Media Center
Our middle school library serves students with a wide range of academic and recreational reading needs. There is a significant difference in the maturity and interests of students between grades six and eight. All of our school library books are carefully vetted, and we rely on our district library materials selection guidelines and professional library review sources to provide relevant books for all our students.
Some of our books have YA (young adult) labels on the spines to indicate books that have content and themes that might have greater appeal or relevance to more mature readers. These books often feature older characters, and they may contain language or references to mental health, drugs, alcohol, violence, sexual situations, complex choices, or similar.
We want to make sure all students have access to the books they need and are interested in as well as books that are the right fit for your family. If you would prefer your child not check out any materials considered YA, please complete the form linked below and discuss this decision with your child. A note will be added to your child’s library account about this preference. If you’d like to make a change, this preference can be updated at any time throughout the school year by emailing our librarian at betty_bouton@charleston.k12.sc.us.
Thank you for your support of your student’s reading and learning!

Mental Health Minute
May is Mental Health Month, and we will be featuring information on Healthy Home Environments from Mental Health America. The following is taken from the MHA Mental Health Month 2023 Toolkit.
CREATE COMFORT
A big part of a mentally healthy living situation is feeling like your space gives you comfort, support, and calming energy. This could look like keeping comfort items around like a favorite blanket. Your home can also impact your mental health based on colors, natural light, and set-up. Appropriate light, furnishing textures and patterns, and room organization can help reduce signs of anxiety and depression.
WHAT CAN I DO TO CREATE COMFORT?
- Notice how you feel in different parts of your home. What spaces feel the most comfortable and why? Consider how you can include those elements in other areas of your home that don’t have the same energy.
- Know that there’s no one-size-fits-all ideal home environment. You might need to rework things a few times to find what’s best for you.
- Personalize your space. Put up photos of you and your loved ones, display your favorite belongings, and decorate with the intention of creating a specific feeling, like joy, creativity, or peace.
- Don’t let finances prevent you from changing your space. Being more comfortable in your space might be as simple as moving furniture around, swapping wall art between rooms, or opening up your blinds to let in more natural bright light.
School Technology Information You Need to Know...
Students should NOT bring their Chromebook chargers to school. Please charge devices at home each evening. Chargers tend to disappear at school, and we have no way to track them. Students will be responsible for the cost of replacing lost chargers, so please don’t let your student bring the charger to school!
A reminder about the CCSD fee structure for damages and loss of chromebooks:
- Negligent/Accidental Breakage - No charge for first incident per school year $50 per incident for each subsequent event
- Intentional Vandalism - $300.
- Stolen Device - No cost if a police report is provided
- Lost Device - $300
- Lost Charger - $40
Stay in the loop with your child's academics!
