Eagle News

Dear Parents,

Pack your imagination and get ready for an adventure!

Join us for Literacy Night as we dive into the heartwarming story Finding Gobi. This is the book our school has been reading for "One Book, One School". Families will travel through exciting environments—like the desert and beyond—while enjoying hands-on activities, games, and crafts inspired by the book. Come explore, read, and have fun together on this unforgettable journey!

We will also have the book fair that families can visit. Food trucks will also be on site. We can't wait for this exciting evening. Join us on Thursday from 5:30-7!

With gratitude,

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 Trust. Trust is putting confidence in someone you can depend on.

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.
