Scott Middle School's Motto- "We Enter to Learn and Leave to Achieve"
What Has Been Happening In Ms. Mays' Classroom?
Life and Future Readiness
We have just received our new workbooks from Junior Achievement! Eighth grade will be diving into the Finance Park curriculum while grades six and seven will be working with Junior Achievement Biztown. All of us have learned how to fill out deposit slips, write checks, and log our purchases into a check
register. Perhaps when parents are doing their banking, they may have the kiddos talk things through with them and show off their skills. (Remember… “deposit” means putting money INTO our accounts and “checks and debit cards” are money OUT OF our accounts).
8th Graders Head to Red Clay Alliance
October's Golden Ticket Prize Winners
Congratulations to our October Golden Ticket prize winners! Last Friday, we ran the October Golden Ticket Raffle from our PBIS Online Reward System. Golden Tickets are earned when students go above and beyond our expectations of Respect, Ownership, Courage, Kindness and Safety. Staff give them to students when they are really impressed. The following 10 students were given the choice of a Fall craft activity or a sweet treat.
Congratulations to: Grayson Bannan, Nero Franciscus, Julianna Hobson, Aislynn Jones, Alejandra Maxwell, Anaselis Paulino, Easton Polischeck, Nolan Small and Katie Smith.
Keep up the great work! We are so proud of you!

October's Employee of the Month...Ms. Piper Taylor
Congratulations, Ms. Piper Taylor! This is Ms. Taylor's second year at Scott and we are so happy she is here. Ms. Taylor creates engaging and fun 8th grade math lessons and is an integral member of our 8th grade team. She is also a member of our leadership team and our school improvement team. Ms. Taylor works hard everyday to support our students and staff. She is a wonderful teacher and an amazing teammate. We are lucky to have her.
We also want to congratulate our runners up: Mr. Pearson, Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Brown. All three staff members were given a gift card to treat themselves at Dunkin Donuts. We have an amazing team here at Scott!
Fall Family Literacy Night
Students, staff and families had a wonderful time at our Family Literacy Night last Thursday night at Barnes and Noble. Students were challenged to a scavenger and treated with treats. They even got the chance to meet an author! All students received a voucher for $15 to use toward the purchase of a book. A huge thanks to Ms. D'Angelo for planning this event and Barnes and Noble for hosting it.
