Dear Families,

Happy Spring Break! I hope you and your family have a wonderful and restful week! We look forward to seeing you back at school on April 13.

We are still registering folks for 4K and 5K for next year. It helps us so much when families go ahead and enroll their students so that we know what class sizes will look like for next year. If you know of any families who have rising 4K or 5K students, please encourage to enroll in our amazing programs.

Each month at Six Mile Elementary, we focus on different character traits and talk about ways to show those traits to others. We discuss the trait in morning meeting in our classrooms. We spotlight the trait on the school news show. Mrs. Orr, our guidance counselor, goes into classrooms and does special lessons with the trait. At the end of each month, we have a Best of the Nest party to honor those students who "shine" in that area.

This month our core essential is focusing on HONOR. Honor is showing others we value them.

If your student is absent, you have three days to send a note stating the reason for their absence before it is counted unexcused. You can send a handwritten note or you can email Stephanie Merck at stephaniemerck@pickens.k12.sc.us. You can also email your child's teacher. Once the student has reached 10 absences, a medical excuse must be sent.

When students have accumulated 3 absences in a row without a note or 5 absences in all without a note, Mr. Gilstrap will have to schedule a meeting for an Attendance Conference. Please make sure to get your note in so that this does not happen.
