MAY NEWSLETTER

Can you believe we've made it to May?! We have seen our students represent our PACK so well this year by being Positive, Accountable, Courageous, and Kind. We have a few final important notes below. Hope you have a fantastic summer!

We already held course selection, but don't forget that you also need to register for the school year. To do this you can go to nebo.edu/registration or our website (scms.nebo.edu) and click on the registration tab. This needs to be done for every student, every year.

Some students desire a locker, others prefer to keep their belongings with them all day. Lockers will be only be assigned to those who complete a locker request form. Watch your email towards the end of July for the locker request form to come through. We will also post the sign-up on our website. Students can have their own locker or share with a friend.

Please help us to make sure that your student(s) is/are following Nebo District's dress code policy. As the weather gets warmer and sometimes clothes don't fit the same way they did last fall, it is an especially important reminder. The dress code is outlined below. Essentially, students should be covered from shoulders to mid-thigh - this means shorts should be mid-thigh, tummies should be covered, and shirt sleeves need to reach kids' shoulders (thick-strap tank tops ... no spaghetti straps). The exact wording is listed below.

PURPOSE AND PHILOSOPHY 1.1 The Board of Education recognizes that students’ dress and appearance can affect their education. Experience and research show that the learning atmosphere improves when students’ appearance is not distracting. In addition, appropriate student appearance helps increase safety.

Nebo School Districts full dress code policy can be found by clicking here.

On Wed, May 22th, we will be having our field day/end of term 4 reward activity. In order to participate, students need to have A's and B's and S's for citizenship. We have loved our reward activities each term!

Students are mid-way through year-end testing. Students test in Language Arts, Math and Science. Please do your best to make sure your student is at school and on time, especially during the testing period. We are so excited to showcase the knowledge our students have learned this year!

Last day to check out a book from our library is this Fri, May 5th. Please be sure to return all books before Fri, May 19 to avoid late fees.

We want to make sure we finish out the school year strong and safe! Please help your student(s) know that all school rules apply all the way through the last day. This is for everybody's benefit. Thank you!

Please make sure school fees for this year and/or student breakfast & lunch balances are paid in full. Lunch balances are found on parent's Infinite Campus accounts and school fees are found on our school website (scms.nebo.edu) under the School Fees tab. We'd be happy to help you in person or over the phone as well. Fees and meal balances not paid for by the end of the school year will be sent to a collection agency.

Along those same lines, if you have not paid your student's school fees, they need to be paid ASAP! You can do so by contacting the finance office at 801-609-2400, or you can go to SCMS.

Our wonderful leadership class has decided that they would like to do one final service project to wrap up the year. They are going to sponsor a food drive May 7-10th for a local food bank. If you have anything you would like to donate please send it with your student(s). Items especially needed are toilet paper, pasta, cereal, rice, and oil.

6th graders from this year and last year!

If you left your awesome project with your teacher to temporarily display and you would like it back, please pick it up before the last week of school.

We will be cleaning out our rooms, and although we have enjoyed having your projects on display, we do not have room to store them.

Please save them from the dumpster before it's too late!

Sincerely, Mrs. Peay, Mr. Sorensen and Mr. Sedgwick
