I hope this message finds you well and in good spirits. As we embark on another exciting week here at Six Mile Elementary, I wanted to take a moment to highlight something very dear to all of us: Teacher Appreciation Week.
From May 6th to May 10th, we have the wonderful opportunity to celebrate the remarkable individuals who play a pivotal role in shaping the lives of our children - our dedicated teachers. Teacher Appreciation Week is not just about acknowledging the hard work and dedication of our educators; it's about expressing our gratitude for the invaluable impact they have on our children's growth, learning, and development.
Our teachers at Six Mile Elementary go above and beyond every day to ensure that our students receive the best possible education in a nurturing and supportive environment. Whether it's staying late to help a struggling student, organizing enriching activities, or simply offering a kind word of encouragement, our teachers consistently demonstrate their unwavering commitment to the success and well-being of each child.
As parents, your support and appreciation mean the world to our teachers. Your words of gratitude, acts of kindness, and participation in Teacher Appreciation Week activities help to reinforce the importance of their work and boost morale. Your involvement in this celebration not only honors our teachers but also strengthens the sense of community within our school.
Throughout this week, we have planned various activities and initiatives to show our teachers just how much they are valued and appreciated. From heartfelt notes and small tokens of appreciation to special events and surprises, we aim to make this week a memorable one for our dedicated educators.
I encourage each and every one of you to take a moment this week to express your gratitude to our teachers in your own special way. Whether it's a simple thank you note, a kind gesture, or a thoughtful gift, let's come together as a community to celebrate the incredible contributions of our teachers.
On behalf of the entire Six Mile Elementary community, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our amazing teachers for their unwavering dedication, passion, and commitment to excellence. Thank you for all that you do to inspire and empower our students to reach for the stars.

Building Character at SME
Each month at Six Mile Elementary, we focus on different character traits and talk about ways to show those traits to others. We discuss the trait in morning meeting in our classrooms. We spotlight the trait on the school news show. Mrs. Orr, our guidance counselor, goes into classrooms and does special lessons with the trait. At the end of each month, we have a Best of the Nest party to honor those students who "shine" in that area.
In May, our word is COMMITMENT.
COMMITMENT is making a plan and putting it into practice.
It's Not Too Late to Enroll Your Child at SME for next year!
Absence Notes
If your student is absent, you have three days to send a note stating the reason for their absence before it is counted unexcused. You can send a handwritten note or you can email Stephanie Merck at stephaniemerck@pickens.k12.sc.us. You can also email your child's teacher.
When students have accumulated 3 absences in a row without a note, Mrs. Plyler will have to schedule a meeting for an Attendance Conference. Please make sure to get your note in so that this does not happen.
