To: All SCMS Stakeholders
We are now living The Leader in Me’s, 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. To practice what we teach, my weekly correspondence follows the 7 Habits theme: Habit 1 – Everyone can BE PROACTIVE and plan their week by clicking https://www.keepandshare.com/calendar/show_month.php?i=2043672 to view gym and extra-curricular schedules at SCMS. Habit 2 – At Spencer Middle, we try to BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND! Semester 1 ends tomorrow and report cards will be sent home Jan. 9th. There will be no school for students from Dec. 17 - Jan. 2nd. Merry Christmas! Habit 3 – Congratulations, to our entire 6th grade student body for PUTTING FIRST THINGS FIRST on last week’s MAP Assessment. This group set the school record in both Math and Reading! Kudos to our 7th grade class for setting the school record in Reading. Habit 4 – We want all students THINKING WIN-WIN, unfortunately this is not always the case. Attached is information on suicide prevention that we have discussed with your son/daughter. Feel free to reinforce this information at home. Habit 5 – Ms. Burge, our school counselor is SEEKING FIRST TO UNDERSTAND, THEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD by establishing several small support groups such as: Sources of Strength, Sisterhood, Standing Strong, Grief Relief, and more. For more info: [email protected]. Habit 6 – Let’s SYNERGIZE! Three apps to help us as parents monitor our students and help defend cyber-bullying is: Net Nanny- allows parents to block internet sites/topics and send them warnings. For example if the child looks up suicide, the parents will be alerted. Secure Teen- allows parents to view call lists and read text messages. Teen Safe- allows parents to view call lists, read texts, and know their location via GPS. Habit 7 – Several of our students have been out SHARPENING THE SAW! Grizzly Lego Robotics finished 2nd out of 51 schools overall and are now on to the state competition. Grizzly Cheer won regionals and have state in their sights. The 6th grade academic team finished fourth overall at the 6th grade showcase and look forward to District Governor’s Cup in January. Respectfully, Matt Mercer Principal SCMS
