The Tiger Connection Week 10

Principal's Corner
What an incredible week at Sussex Central Middle School! Our Tiger Time Showcase #1 celebrated the collective talents, creativity, and hard work of our students through an impressive variety of displays. Thank you to every parent, guardian, and family member who joined us to celebrate our Tigers. Your presence sends a powerful message that their efforts matter, and those moments of simply showing up are ones they will cherish.
Our Pretty Purposed crew also enjoyed a special outing on Friday to an escape room in Petersburg, Virginia, followed by lunch at Golden Corral. A heartfelt thank-you to our Pretty Purposed instructors for providing this memorable experience, which gave our girls an exciting opportunity to strengthen their critical-thinking, teamwork, and collaboration skills!
Families, please check for the flyer sent home reminding you to complete Returning Student Registration. If you have not already done so, please complete it as soon as possible so we have current, essential information in PowerSchool. We especially want to share more photos of our Tigers and their accomplishments in our weekly newsletters. However, we must have the appropriate permission on file before including your childβs photograph. Please review and complete the permission-to-photograph section as part of the registration process. If you need assistance, please contact the school. We are happy to help!
As always, thank you for your continued partnership and unwavering support of Sussex Central Middle School. Together, we are making a difference, one Tiger at a time! ~ Dr. Reavis
