Dear SME Families,

Welcome to the last week of school! How is that even possible? This year went so fast.

Here are some things to check this week:

1. If you owe any money for after school care, technology, library books, etc., your student's report card will be held on Friday. Please avoid this by taking care of all fees before Friday.

2. We have several big events this week. Please be kind with parking. If you are able to park in the grass on the side, we encourage you to do so.

3. Report cards will be distributed on Friday. After Friday, they will be in the office. We aren't allowed to give those out early.

4. All medication must be picked up before Friday.

5. Summer office hours are Monday - Thursday from 8-4 beginning May 28. On May 27, the office opens at 10. The office will be closed for an hour daily for lunch. The office is closed on Fridays.

6. Registration for next year will open in July. You will receive an email with information about how to update your child's registration for the coming year.

If you have any questions, you can always call us at 864-397-2400.

Hope everyone has a fantastic summer and we will see you soon!!

Sincerely,
Melissa Terry
Principal

Each year at Meet the Teacher, parents/guardians are asked to pay a technology fee. This fee is to cover the usage and rental of the Chromebook or tablet during the school year. It does not matter if the student takes the technology home or not. The fee to cover regular "wear and tear" on the technology used (like we used to pay a textbook fee at the beginning of the year.) If this has not been paid for this school year, you have been notified. This will need to be paid by May 23. Thank you for your help!

Any fifth grade parents who want to attend fifth grade clap out should arrive at school by 8:00. Please enter through the front office and you will go to the cafeteria for this. This will be on Thursday, May 22.

Parents who wish to come for the Senior Walkthrough on Monday should plan to arrive by 11. Please enter through the front office and you will be directed to the cafeteria for the walkthrough.

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.

In April, our core essential character trait is INITIATIVE.

INITIATIVE is see what needs to be done and doing it.

Parents who help at EOY parties must be volunteer trained. You do not have to have a background check for this, but you do have to have attended a volunteer training.

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.

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