Principal's Corner Dear Scott Middle School Families: Spring has arrived and what great weather we have had so far!!! With great weather, our students like to wear summer type clothing. Parents check your child's clothing attire prior to them leaving the house. The students have been told to wear appropriate shorts, tops and shoes for school. If you are not sure what is appropriate, please check the red Secondary code of conduct for more information. Our PSSA testing for all grades is complete! I noticed our students working extremely hard as I walked through the building during PSSA testing!!! I am confident that once the results are in, all of our hard work and effort will be reflected in our scores! Our eighth grade students still have writing and science to complete which begins April 16-27th for both tests!!! Eighth grade parents please encourage your son or daughter to get plenty rest, come to school on time and are motivated to do well on this section of tests. In appreciation of the hard work everyone put forth, we will have a special day for each grade level! Speaking of helping our students, I would like to help parents understand the development of their child during this important period of their life! Beginning in September we are planning to have monthly informational educational parent seminar series. The seminar series would be presented by different experts with solid "how-to" information on topics of concern to middle school parents. The sessions will be in an informal and interactive setting. Please complete the attached survey on topic presentations that you may be interested in attending. If there is not a topic listed that you feel is important, please list it on the "other topic" line. We need your input in order for this series to be successful. It is hard to believe that fourth marking period will have started once you receive this issue of the Connection. Some of you will have had a parent conference about your child's progress to make sure he/she are on the right track for the end of the year. If you did not have a conference with any of your child's teachers and feel the need to have one, please do not hesitate to contact them to make sure your child is on the right track academically. Let's continue to work together to ensure your child's continued academic success and provide support for improvement if he or she is struggling. Encourage your child to finish the school year strong by completing homework assignments, preparing for tests and quizzes, etc. Together we can work to ensure your child's successful completion of the 2011-2012 school year. As educators we are also concerned about our students exploring different helpful and productive avenues after school as well as during the summer. The Coatesville Youth Initiative has a wonderful summer Youth Service Corps (CSYSC) program for students between the ages of 14-18 years old. This is an 8 week summer of service opportunity. The CSYSC offers work experience, provides our young people with an opportunity to "serve" their community and meet a need, teaches valuable life and leadership skills, and also provides them with a summer income. Applications will be available Monday, April 2nd in our Scott Middle School Office and the deadline will be Friday, April 27th by 4 pm. All students are encouraged to attend one of the Information Sessions with a parent/guardian. These sessions will take place: Monday, April 16th, 6:30 pm; Brandywine Center, 744 East Lincoln Highway, Coatesville, PA 19320 And Wednesday, April 18th, 6:30 pm; Caln Township Building, 253 Municipal Building, Thorndale, PA 19372
If your son or daughter is between the ages of 14 -18, please encourage them to obtain an application and possibly become a part of an exciting summer of service opportunity.
Sincerely, Dr. Denise Ray, Proud Principal of Scott Middle School
