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 – Parents can BE PROACTIVE, by attending Parent Involvement Night on March 5 at 6pm at SCMS. There will be a seven period rotation, allowing parents to see each of their child’s teachers. Topics will be grade relevant (8th grade – HS Scheduling, AP Course Requirements, Scholarships, etc.) Habit 2 – BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND, by attending our “Buy one, get one free Book Fair” during Parent Involvement Night in the Media Center. The Book Fair will be open during the month of April, please stop by and support, as all funds raised go to the purchase of additional books for our library. Habit 3 – 7th Grade student Caden Little, PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST last week, finishing first overall in the annual District Spelling Bee. Congratulations to Caden! Good luck to Jack Reynold’s who will compete in the State Geography Bee in Bowling Green on March 27! Habit 4 – Ms. Shipley and the Grizzly Choir are THINKING WIN-WIN, by collaborating with the WU Singers on March 9. The WU Singers will share and perform with the SCMS and SCHS Choir’s in a day sure to be both educational and exciting. Habit 5 – SCMS will SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND, THEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD; the MAP testing window on March 16 – April 17, will show what we know. MAP scores are used in various ways such as course placement & providing interventions to students in need. Habit 6 – SCMS is SYNERGIZING this week, sending 6th grade band students to Spencer Elementary and Taylorsville Elementary for band demonstrations. This is a great opportunity for students to show what they’ve learned and also get others interested in band. Habit 7 – We encourage everyone to SHARPEN THE SAW and volunteer to be a part of the 2015-2016 Parent Teacher Student Organization. Nominations forms for PTSO are attached to this email. Deadline for nominations is March 3. Voting will take place March 5 at Parent Involvement Night. Respectfully, Matt Mercer Principal SCMS
