The Amazing Shake is coming back to SMS on January 20th.

The Amazing Shake is a fun event that tests students' resilience and essential skills for success: communication, discipline, professionalism, and confidence/charisma.

Students will work their way through a variety of real-world scenarios that foster positive and professional relationships with members of our community.

The best part...this competition is open to ALL of our students. No exceptions. Just potential.

A supportive community rooting for you and a day full of surprises.

Note: This year's champion and runner up will have the opportunity to participate in the Global Amazing Shake Competition at the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, Georgia.

Informational meetings for students in grades 5-8 who are interested in learning more about joining the middle school bowling team will take place at Scottsburg Lanes on Sunday, February 8th at 4:00 p.m. and on Wednesday, February 18th at 7:00 p.m.

 

If you've never bowled or if are a casual bowler, you are welcome to attend an information session.

Schools are now required to collect residency information twice each school year. At your earliest convenience please log into your Harmony Family Access account to complete that piece of the registration process.

While you're logged in, we encourage you to take a minute to review and update any other Harmony demographics, including missing uploads for birth certificates or proof of residency documents.

Winter Warrior speed and strength training is available for any SMS student who is planning to play football in 2026. Sessions will take place on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 3:00 - 4:30 p.m. Rides must pick up students at door 12 at 4:30 p.m.

SMS students who are not currently in a winter sport and would like to participate in the weight training need to wear appropriate shoes and athletic attire. They can ride one of the SHS shuttles (V3 or V4) to the high school for these afternoon sessions.

Scottsburg MS students receive report cards six times throughout the school year. Our current grading period will end on Friday, February 20th.

The grades on that report card, which will be published on Wednesday, February 25th, determine students' eligibility for extracurricular activities until the next report card is issued in mid April.

The grades from our third six weeks will be averaged with course grades from the fourth 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.

Our winter sports season is underway.

The SMS winter sports are basketball, cheerleading, swimming, and wrestling.

Eventlink is how you can stay up to date with all schedules, practices, games, tryouts, and how coaches will send team messages, so it is important to get your account set up.

More information will be coming from coaches to parents as we approach each sports season. 

Students should listen to the afternoon announcements for more information about practices and competitions.

If you have questions about athletics, please contact Mrs. King at 812-752-8926 option 2.

Friendly reminder that students should not be dropped off at SMS before 7:15 a.m. each day.

The Scott 2 calendar is linked on the Scott 2 website as well as the SMS website.
