Scottsville's Tuesday Tiger Times

Several of our AMAZING students are featured in the ACPS ART show! The Art show runs from March 3rd to March 21st. The Art show will be at the Northside Library.

Families,

We thank you and your family for being our valued partners as we work together to educate the children in our district. As you may already be aware, building our life skills is an important goal for our school this year. Over the next several weeks, students and teachers will participate in several exercises to better understand these concepts and to reflect on how they perceive these skills in themselves.

We will be asking for your child to reflect on their own mindsets and approaches to learning via an online survey they will be completing as school. The survey shouldn’t take more than 10 - 15 minutes to complete.

The survey content will ask students to self-reflect on School Climate.

We are asking that all of our students participate in the surveys, as their responses will provide invaluable insights into their experiences and how we can improve and adapt our district to their needs. If a student doesn’t feel like they have enough information to answer a question, they will be able to skip the item altogether. We are partnering with a third-party vendor to support us in administering these surveys.

If you have any questions about the life skills survey, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Mr. Gamble, our School Counselor.

It's always a joy to celebrate students who show CARES and help others!

As the weather warms and everyone is excited to be outside again, we wanted to share some tips for staying healthy.

• Wash your hands for at least 30 seconds with soap and water.
• Cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough.
• Drink lots of water.
• Get a full nights rest.
• If your student is feeling ill, please remind them to see the school nurse.

Every parent, guardian, and staff member at Scottsville Elementary is automatically part of the PTO, no sign-ups, dues, or meeting attendance required. The PTO only works when our school community works together, and right now we truly need more helping hands. Even volunteering once or helping in a small way makes a big difference for our students and staff.
