Scott's Branch Middle High School
A Message to Our Parents and Families
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,
I hope this message finds you well as we continue through another successful school year. I am writing to emphasize an important factor in student success: attendance.
Attendance Matters
Regular school attendance is one of the most critical components of academic achievement. When students are present and arrive on time to class every day, they:
- Receive direct instruction and participate in essential learning activities
- Build consistent study habits and routines
- Stay connected with their teachers and peers
- Avoid gaps in knowledge that can be difficult to overcome
- Develop responsibility and time-management skills that will serve them throughout life
Research consistently shows that students with strong attendance records perform better academically, are more engaged in school activities, and are better prepared for future success.
Our Commitment
We are committed to providing a quality education for every student, but we can only do this effectively when students are present. Every day counts, and every class period matters.
Working Together
We ask for your partnership in making attendance a priority. Please ensure that your child:
- Arrives at school on time each day
- Attends all scheduled classes
- Makes up any missed work promptly when absences are unavoidable
If you are experiencing challenges with attendance, please reach out to us. We are here to support you and work together to find solutions.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment to your child's education. Together, we can ensure that every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Alisha Wells, M.ED.
Principal
Scott's Branch Middle High School
Mrs. Jackson
Hello, students and parents! My name is Mrs. Jackson. I teach 7th and 8th grade ELA. I have worked in education for 30+ years and this is my 7th year at SBMHS. A fun fact about me is that I have three animal nicknames: Squirrel, Chipmunk, and Froggy. My message to my students is: Be the best version of you—the world awaits your GREATNESS.
Mr. Green
I am Mr. Green. I teach 6th grade English Language Arts and Social Studies. I am also the middle school lead teacher. This is my 8th year in education and my third-year teaching at SBMHS. A fun fact about me is that I graduated at the top of my class in high school and maintained that level of achievement throughout college. My goal this year is to challenge myself and my students to reach our highest potential. I want to create a classroom where students feel safe, respected, challenged, and motivated to learn. I want my classroom to be a structured and engaging learning environment where students understand that their education is important and that they are capable of achieving at high levels.
Ms. Bonza
My name is Ms. Bonza. This school year, I’ll be joining Scott’s Branch Middle High School for the first time. I teach math to 7th and 8th graders. This is my 25th year teaching. I love traveling to new places and soaking up local cultures to keep my perspective fresh. Some fun facts about me - I love to dance, I play the guitar, and I promise my singing isn't too bad. My main goal for the year is to foster student growth, both academically and personally, while creating a safe and engaging classroom. I wish my students success this year and in the years to come.
Mrs. Walton
I am Mrs. Walton. I'm a middle school math interventionist. I have worked in education for 30 years. I enjoy reading mystery novels, solving word puzzles and jigsaw puzzles, spending time with family, and of course working out math problems. My goal for this school year is to improve students' math knowledge. "Students, the best gift you can give yourself is to be educated."
Mrs. Reed-Dingle
My name is Carolyn Dingle, and I serve as the Career Development Facilitator at Scott's Branch Middle High School. With 26 years of experience in education, I am currently in my ninth year at SBMHS. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy reading materials related to biblical studies and history, and I am an avid viewer of crime television programs. In my role, career exploration provides middle school students with comprehensive information about the 14 career clusters, complemented by hands-on and interactive activities that clarify various career pathways and occupational opportunities.
Ms. Harvey
I'm Ms. Harvey. I'm excited to teach High School English 1 & 4, and an 8th grade ELA class.
