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 with the free Infinite Campus App, which sends push notifications every time a teacher enters a grade for your son or daughter. Follow the four simple steps seen here: http://publicschools.spencercounty.ky.gov/parents/icportal/. For more information email [email protected] . Habit 2 – Spencer Middle is BEGINNING WITH THE END IN MIND by hosting six Parent Academy’s throughout the school year. Our first Parent Academy will be Sept. 14th at 6:30pm - topic will be “I Am Someone”, and will focus on responsible use of technology. All parents and students are invited! Habit 3 – PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST, There will be no school this Friday and Monday (Labor Day Weekend). Sept. 14 is Fall picture day and all students will need to prepay, more info. to come! Habit 4 – Student Agenda’s can help us THINK WIN-WIN! We ask our students to keep their agenda’s with them at all times. This allows them to record important information & plan for the future. Agenda’s can also be a method of two-way communication for teachers & parents. Habit 5 – All 8th grade students will SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND, THEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD while visiting the Frazier Museum on Aug. 31st (Team R. Cox) and Sept. 5 (Team S. Phelps). This trip is part of our “Hero's Journey and Propaganda/Persuasion” unit that teaches students how the government can use tools such as these to influence the masses. Habit 6 – GBB = SYNERGY! Grizzlies Beyond the Bell starts today with: snacks at 2:30, homework help at 3pm, clubs at 4pm, team building at 5pm, and dismissal at 5:30. Four transportation drops are: Spencer Christian Church, Lighthouse Baptist Church, Waterford Park, & Little Union Church. A club list is attached. For more info: [email protected] . Habit 7 – Everyone is invited to come out and SHARPEN THE SAW this week. Tuesday - Girls Basketball plays St. Joe at home, and Grizzly Football travels to Bardstown. Respectfully, Matt Mercer Principal SCMS
