Scott Middle School's Motto- "We Enter to Learn and Leave to Achieve"
Updated Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
Thank you for your flexibility as we navigate our revised Arrival and Dismissal plans. We anticipate using these plans for another week. I will send out communication, when we have access and can update the plans.
Arrival Procedures:
Bus Arrival: Busses will arrive via Olive Street and pull up on the left side of the street
Parent Drop-Off: Parents will also enter from Olive Street and drop students off in the side lot in front of the auditorium. Please pull all the way up on Olive Street.
Students will enter through the side auditorium doors and proceed through the auditorium to enter the main building.
Breakfast:
The 7th and 8th grade breakfast cart will be located in the cafeteria hallway (not on the main floor).
The 6th grade breakfast cart will remain on the third floor as planned.
Dismissal Procedures:
At 2:08, Walkers will be released to the cafeteria exit on Sterling Street. If your student is a walker, please have a written note (or send an email to Ms. Russum at russuma@casdschools.org) stating they have your permission to walk. It can be for all year or for specific dates, but it needs to have your student's name and your signature.
At 2:10, Parent Pick-Up will be called to the cafeteria. This is a change from last year. Students will be picked up on Sterling Street. Mrs. Diehl and Mrs. Hamilton will be supporting students and families. Please have your student's name written on a paper that you can show to make this process go quicker.
Parents that are picking up students on Sterling Street, please do not drive through Olive Street to get to Sterling Street as busses will be dismissing at the same time.
Busses will line up on Olive Street, and starting at 2:10, students will be called—two busses at a time—to exit through the auditorium and board via the side door.
I appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we adjust to the circumstances.
Also, I would like to assure you that due to the inability to access our front doors, we have updated our evacuation plans as well. Staff and students will be reviewing expectations and procedures as we adapt to ensure everyone's safety.
Lost and Found
Our Lost and Found in the cafeteria already has a few items. If you recognize something, please remind your student to stop by.
A Way to Celebrate Our Students' Academic Achievement
Chromebook Distribution
Sixth grade students (and some new seventh and eighth grade students) received their new chromebooks on Tuesday last week.
All students were reminded that school issued chromebooks are their responsibility to take care of. Ms. Lally, our IT Support for Scott, also reminded students about the importance of staying safe while online.
Please see the link below for our technology department. (It can also be accessed from the main district website under the department tab.) You will see links for the handbook, IT help desk and more.
Bus Status App
We will still be using the Bus Status App to notify parents/guardians and schools of delayed buses.
Please see below for the attached document with the directions to download the app.

Back To School Night
Event Information
I would like to invite you to Scott Middle School’s annual Back-to-School Night on Wednesday, September 10th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. During Back-to-School Night, you will have the valuable opportunity to learn important information about your child's classroom experience and to meet your child's teachers.
Nurse's Corner
Donated gently used or new clothes, especially pants , would be greatly appreciated by the nurse.
Dear Families,
My name is Ann Keenan, I am the school nurse at Scott Middle School. As your child’s school nurse, I am responsible for the health needs of your child during the school day. Please let me know if there are any health concerns or accommodations needed for your student to access their education. Good communication is the best way to provide a safe and healthy school environment.
The Pennsylvania Health Department requires all 6th grade students to have a physical examination for school attendance. The physical should include a health history, immunizations, scoliosis screening, as well as the annual growth and vision screenings. Also, all 7th grade students require a dental form to be handed in.
Please visit your family doctor to complete your student’ physical, update immunizations and renew medication requests, if needed. All physicals should be submitted by the end of winter break. Any medication required in school must have proper paperwork completed and delivered to school by an adult. Students are not allowed to carry any medication without approval.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Take care.
Ann Keenan RN
Certified School Nurse Email: keenana@casdschools.org
If your child needs medication 2025-2026 school year, please remember the following:
** All medication must be in a labeled container from the store. All prescriptions must be in a labeled container from the pharmacy with the student’s name on and correct dose. (In the case of an inhaler, it must be in the box from the pharmacy or be accompanied by a doctor’s note.)
** All medication must have a note from the parent/ guardian
** Any changes in dosage need to be in writing. If it is a prescription medication, we must have a note from the doctor. (We can only give medication according to the store label or doctor’s orders.)
** All medication needs to be transported by an adult.
Additional Reminders:
All 6th grade students will require a Physical exam by their own health care provider by Winter Break
All 7th grade students will require a Dental exam by their own dental care provider by Winter Break.
Any 7th grade students without updated immunizations (Tdap and Meningitis) risk exclusion from school. Multiple notices were sent to students who are out of compliance for 7th grade attendance, the last sent home last week. We still have about 40 students that need to bring in this information.
If your student needs medication in school, please have their doctor complete the medication form and have an adult bring the medication to the school nurse.
If you have any questions, please email: keenana@casdschools.org
