SMS Scoop

Scott 2 is blessed with a board that keeps the needs of our students, faculty, staff, and parents at the forefront of their decisions.

We appreciate you all!

Our third grading period will end on Friday, January 12th.

Report cards will be published in Harmony Family Access on Wednesday, January 17th.

The grades on that report card determine students' eligibility for extracurricular activities through the end of February.

The grades from our third six weeks will be averaged with course grades from the fourth six weeks to calculate students' second trimester grades.

The grade point average of the trimester grades is what we use to determine medal awards at the end of each school year.

We are partnering with Smile Programs, the mobile dentists who offer in-school dental care.

Dental care is usually at no cost to you. All insurance is accepted, including Medicaid and CHIP. Students without insurance may be eligible for a grant. The Mobile Dentist program saves you time and provides a safe and comfortable place for your child to receive gentle dental care from licensed professionals.

Please sign up at mobiledentists.com or you may contact your school nurse with any questions.

The next three images contain reminders about some upcoming calendar events in Scott 2.

Monday, January 15th is an eLearning day.

Monday, April 8th was changed to an eLearning day. The state created a website with some helpful resources related to the solar eclipse.

The 2024-2025 school calendar is also shown below for those of you who prefer to plan ahead.

Our winter sports season is underway.

Basketball, cheerleading, and wrestling schedules are in Eventlink.

Swimming will begin later.

Students should listen to the afternoon announcements for more information about tryouts, practices, and events.

Eventlink will still be the platform that we use to communicate with parents/family members regarding practices and events.

If you have questions about athletics, please contact Mrs. King at 812-752-8926 option 2.

As a reminder, students should only use their school-issued iPad and all of their school accounts for tasks that their teachers assign.

Students should not use their iPad or accounts for chatting via Google docs, searching non-education related terms/phrases, or any other activity that isn't directly related to something that a teacher assigned.

Please remember that students should not be dropped off each morning prior to 7:15 a.m.

Our morning supervision person arrives at that time.

Attention SMS students who walk to and from school:

Please be careful when crossing the streets, utilize sidewalks and crosswalks when available, and follow the street crossing signs.

Officer Nicholson has met with all students regarding safety at school and throughout the community.

Like many schools, we occasionally experience some supply/distribution delays. We will follow the posted menus when possible, but will have to make adjustments at times.

The Scottsburg MS student handbook contains some updates for the 2023-2024 school year. The most significant changes took place in the attendance section.

SMS Student Handbook

We encourage you to read the handbook with your child(ren) and to contact us with any questions you may have.
