Scottsburg MS students receive report cards six times throughout the school year. Our second grading period ends on Friday, November 7th.

The grades on that report card, which will be published on Wednesday, November 12th, determine students' eligibility for extracurricular activities until the next report card is issued in mid-January.

The grades from our first six weeks will be averaged with course grades from the second six weeks to calculate trimester grades.

The grade point average of the trimester grades is what we use to determine medal awards at the end of each school year.

The first SMS dance of the school year has a glow theme and is scheduled for Friday, November 7th from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
