A small group of students from Scott and North Brandywine Middle Schools had the chance to visit Kreider Farms on Monday, May 5th to see where agriculture meets manufacturing. The students from Scott that were interested wrote a short essay to Mrs. Lamothe about why they were interested in the trip, and she chose 22 students. Students were given a tour of the Kreider Farm and manufacturing plant. They also had the opportunity to climb to the top of the Silo tower to see amazing views of the town below. The trip was sponsored by Chester County Economic Development Council. All who went had a wonderful time!
On Wednesday, May 7th, Mrs. Lamothe welcomed 125 incoming 6th graders and their families for an engaging evening at Scott Middle School.
The night began with an introduction to what Scott Middle School is all about, followed by a variety of hands-on experiences. Families had the chance to tour the building, practice opening combination locks, and learn more about our curriculum, clubs, and PBIS program.
It was a fantastic evening that we hope helped ease some of the nerves for the future Class of 2032!

It has recently come to our attention that a TikTok challenge is encouraging students to insert metal objects—such as paper clips, push pins, or mechanical pencil lead—into the USB ports of school-issued devices. This behavior can result in electrical sparks, smoke, or even fire, posing a serious safety risk. In some videos, students are seen inserting pencil lead into Chromebook USB ports, which causes sparking, smoking, and, in some cases, activates fire alarms.
Unfortunately, we had to speak with several students this week who were attempting similar actions. We urge you to speak with your child about the severe dangers associated with this behavior. Not only is it a clear violation of our electronics policy and student code of conduct—which may lead to disciplinary consequences including possible expulsion—but it also endangers the safety of our entire school community.
Our top priority is the well-being of all students, and we are committed to maintaining a safe learning environment. Additionally, these actions can cause significant damage to school property. The cost to replace a Chromebook is currently $320.
We greatly appreciate your support in speaking with your child about the risks of participating in harmful social media trends and the importance of using school-issued technology responsibly.
Donated gently used or new clothes, especially pants , would be greatly appreciated by the nurse.
Reminders:
1.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.
2. If your student calls or texts you and asks you to pick them up from school, please remind them to see the nurse. Students should head to the nurse when they are not feeling well to be checked out by Nurse Keenan. If she feels that your student needs to come home, she will call you.
3.Please see below for school immunization requirements. ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, unless the child has a medical or religious/philosophical exemption, a child must have had at least one dose of the listed vaccinations or risk exclusion.
