Scottsville's Tuesday Tiger Times

We are so excited to welcome you to Back to School and Math Night on Thursday! This is a special evening where our school community comes together to celebrate learning, connect with one another, and answer questions from our families! Our students can’t wait to “show what they know” and give you a glimpse of the exciting math thinking and problem-solving they’ve already been doing with our new math program, Kiddom. You’ll have the chance to step into their shoes, experience some of the activities they enjoy, and see how math comes to life in their classrooms.

We hope you’ll join us for an evening of fun, learning, and community!

At Scottsville, we want to ensure that our students and staff are prepared. From September 8th to September 12th, students and staff will go through a series of drills, lessons, and games aimed at ensuring they are prepared in the event of an emergency. This will include a fire drill, lockdown drill, tornado drill, and hold drill. On Wednesday, September 10th, we have invited the Scottsville Fire Department, police department, ACPD, and ACSO to join our students for lunch! If you have any questions, please contact the front office. On sept 10th, 2025 SES will be holding our second lockdown drill.

(Pictured here was Monday morning with Bright Stars -- playing a preparedness game! They did great!)

Arriving at school on time sets students up for success. The first few minutes of the day are essential for building connections, reviewing the day’s schedule, and diving into learning without feeling rushed. When students arrive late, they miss valuable instruction and can feel behind for the rest of the day. Consistent, on-time attendance helps build good habits, fosters responsibility, and ensures every child has the best possible start to their learning each day.

Please keep in mind that checking your student out at the end of the day can also impact their learning. Could you please keep your student in school the whole day if possible?

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Thank you to the many families who have already completed this year’s Student Registration Verification. If you haven’t done so yet, please take a few minutes to complete the form in the PowerSchool Parent Portal website (not the app). This quick process helps us:

• Keep your child safe by making sure we have correct emergency contacts.
• Share important updates with you through Bright Arrow (calls, emails, texts) and Remind (two-way messages).
• Confirm required agreements for the school year.

How to Complete the Form

1. Sign in to the PowerSchool Parent Portal website. If you don’t have an account, contact your child’s school.
2. Select your student from the top menu.
3. Click on “Student Registration Verification” from the sidebar or the Applications icon.
   
4. Enter your child’s date of birth to open the form.
5. Review the information, make changes if needed, and submit.

Important Notes

• The form shows information as it was in PowerSchool on August 6, 2025. Updates made after this date will not appear in the form.
• Families who completed the New Student Registration Form for 2025-26 do not need to fill out this form, but you can if you want to. Students enrolled after August 6 will not have a form available.
• Only one parent/guardian can complete the form, and it must be done by the first parent who logs in.

Call the front office if you notice an item that belongs to your child. It's also helpful if you put your child' name on items.

Time is running out—we need your help! Haven’t placed your Charleston Wrap order yet? Whether you’re looking for birthday gifts, housewarming presents, teacher appreciation items, or just want to treat yourself, now’s the perfect time. Place your order by September 14 to help us reach our goal!

Did you know that for every item ordered or email/text link sent, your child has a chance to win an awesome prize? Take a look at this video for more information on the daily prizes!

Thank you for all your support and hopefully we can make this the best fundraiser ever!
