Halfway Day for our sixth grade students is Tuesday, January 6th.

The teachers have some fun activities planned for the students to celebrate the midpoint of their K-12 educational careers.

Scottsburg MS students receive report cards six times throughout the school year. Our third grading period ends this Friday, January 9th.

The grades on that report card, which will be published on Wednesday, January 14th, determine students' eligibility for extracurricular activities until the next report card is issued in late February.

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.

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.

SMS will have a lunch session next week for all students who sign up to participate in the Amazing Shake. Those who attend the lunch session will learn helpful tips and tricks for the competition.

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.

Sign up via the SMS Community page in Canvas beginning on Monday, January 5th. See Mr. Hicks or Mrs. Jackson with any questions.
