Naviance is coming to middle schools!

Naviance is a web-based service that has been a part of CMS high schools for years. It is designed to assist students with college and career planning. It includes high school course planning, college research, and career planning tools. This year, current 8th grade students will be introduced to Naviance as a way to plan for their high school career. In future years, we will be introducing all grades to Naviance. We are excited to offer another resource to students to use to start thinking about their futures.

Spring 2025 South Charlotte Middle School Boys Club Tennis

SCMS is once again planning on having a Boysโ€™ Club Tennis Team this Spring. As of right now, we are still working with Raintree Country Club to coordinate a practice schedule. However, the season will likely begin on or about Monday, February 24th, and end no later than Friday, May 2nd. More details, including the estimated participation fees (prior yearโ€™s fees were approximately $380 per player), will be shared in late-December.

Tennis matches with other area middle schools are also still being scheduled, and more details will be shared by mid-January. The current plan would be for the boys to have approximately 14 practices (i.e., two practices per week over a seven-week period) at Raintree Country Club and approximately 8-10 matches with other area middle schools. However, the final practice and match schedules will ultimately be dependent on weather, other teamsโ€™ schedules, and court availability.

Players at all skill levels are welcome to participate. However, players will be required to know how to keep score in order to be able to play in matches. In addition, it is recommended (but not required) that players be able to serve a tennis ball into the โ€œservice boxโ€ on the opposite side of the net before being able to participate in matches. Clinics may be offered at Raintree to help players that are new to the sport of tennis get some practice in this aspect of the game prior to the start of the season. More details about this option will be made available in late-December.



This season, Vishu and Chad Cook will be serving as parent-coaches for the boysโ€™ tennis team. Please stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks. In the meantime, if you are interested in registering, please e-mail Vishu at vishwanthini@gmail.com and copy Chad at cookchad1975@yahoo.com. No fees will be due until one week prior to the start of the season. However, please note that the last day to register will be Monday, January 27th, in order to ensure adequate time to order t-shirts for the boys before the season begins.
