Hello Grizzly Family,
I'm sure you have heard the latest news that Governor Bashear has mandated that all schools go virtual starting this Monday until at least January 4th. Let me be clear. We already have one group of "Virtual" students that have not attended face to face at all and utilize the Edgenuity platform. That will remain the same until January as planned. For students that have been Hybrid (face to face, two days per week) you will now have class from home through zoom with Google Classroom five days per week. This is precisely the way we started the year. If you are like me, you can't remember last week leave off August. This means all Hybrid students will now zoom: Math and Science classes on Monday/Wednesday, English and Social Studies on Tuesday/Thursday, and the Arts on Friday. Click here for the 6th Grade Schedule Click here for the 7th Grade Schedule Click here for the 8th Grade Schedule *Note daily meeting times are now: 10am, 11am, 1pm, & 2pm* I have three daughter's (3rd, 7th, 12th), so I share your concerns and understand that the struggle is real. Teaching Ashton, Alexis, & Addison, is far more difficult than running a school. Working and teaching my kids' is near impossible, so we've come up with some best practices to assist you in this transition. Click here for virtual tips for parents As far as extra-curricular goes, we are continuing with rehearsals today for our spring play. We still hope this production can occur, only time will tell. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association met Tuesday and decided to postpone fall sports. We fall under that umbrella somewhat, and follow their recommendations. That said, our athletic director Scott Noel, along with SCMS coaches will be informing parents and players on the specifics of when we can practice again and begin playing games. As for the immediate future, it's not happening. I leave you with this, I hate that Alexis' junior and now senior year isn't as she expected. I hate that being Addison's principal for 6th and now 7th grade doesn't look like I expected. I hate that critical grades for reading like 2nd and 3rd have been altered for Ashton. However, I thank God they are healthy. During this time let us all thank God for the many blessings we take for granted daily. And let us pray for all those that are sick or all those that were essentially laid off yesterday just prior to rent being due in December and before Christmas presents could be bought for the kids. If there is anything I can do in anyway, please contact me at [email protected] Sincerely, MM

Good afternoon Grizzly Families,
We are quickly approaching the Holiday's, so planning for next semester has begun. If you are VIRTUAL ONLY student, please click this link https://forms.gle/4xyx54WkqcsXvkqf8 to inform us of your plans. You will need to complete one for each student in the household. Students that are currently hybrid face to face do not need to complete. This is for students that did not attend in person for the first semester. We are so proud of our very own, Casey DeSilvey who just won the 2020 KY CROSS COUNTRY STATE CHAMPIONSHIP on Saturday. Casey was 1st out of 400 other competitors to claim the title. He also led our boys team to a top ten overall state finish. Others contributing to the top ten finish were: Graham Dwyer, Buck Murphy, Ridge Revers, Jakob Satterly, Earl Rose and Matthew Cook.

Please continue to check your son/daughter for symptoms prior to sending them to school. Please contact our school nurse, [email protected] to let her know if your child is having to quarantine or having covid-like symptoms. To thank our veteran's for their service to protect our freedom, our Grizzly News crew created a special video of appreciation. Click here!!! Have blessed day, MM |
