SME newsletter for families and the community
Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a wonderful week! I think I know how to make it stop raining - move our FUN RUN to a different day. We will try again next week to have it. Our PTO has worked so hard to raise funds for our school. Thanks to everyone who has given to this!! We couldn't do it without you. We are excited to get more walkie-talkies in our building. This helps keep us all safe as well as helping with communication throughout the day. Also thanks to our sponsors who supplied a FREE Fun Run t shirt to every student.
All the best,
Melissa Terry
Principal
Building Character at SME
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.
This month our core essential is focusing on Knowledge. Knowledge is learning something new so you can be better at whatever you do.
Absence Notes
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, Mr. Gilstrap will have to schedule a meeting for an Attendance Conference. Please make sure to get your note in so that this does not happen.
