Scott Middle School's Motto- "We Enter to Learn and Leave to Achieve"
What Has Been Happening in Ms. Thomas's Classroom?
Ms.Thomas's classes have been learning about DNA structure focusing on the Nucleotide base pairing. Students worked on building a model of DNA using different materials they could think of. They had fun using their creativity to show their understanding of the DNA double helix structure.
National Junior Honor Society Induction Ceremony
3rd Quarter Award Assembly
On Tuesday, April 14th, we proudly celebrated our students’ growth and achievement during our 3rd Quarter Awards Assembly.
Students who earned Distinguished Honors and Honors received certificates recognizing their academic success. In addition, we recognized students who made exceptional progress on their IXL assessments in ELA or Math, with some showing a growth of 200 points or more—equivalent to two years of academic growth since the start of the school year!
We are incredibly proud of our students' dedication and effort. At Scott, we live by our motto:
“We enter to learn and leave to achieve.”
Keep up the amazing work!

PSSA Testing Reminders
PSSA Testing begins on Wednesday, April 23 with the English Language Arts assessments, followed by Math testing on Monday, April 28, and concluding on Tuesday, April 29. We’ve reminded students that this is their opportunity to do their best and demonstrate all they’ve learned throughout the year.
As always, students may eat breakfast at school to ensure they are fueled and ready for the day. Please encourage your student to take advantage of this option, or ensure they eat a healthy breakfast at home.
We also ask that you remind your student to get a good night’s sleep before testing days to help them feel alert, energized, and focused.
A reminder from the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE): the use of electronic devices during PSSA and Keystone Exams is strictly prohibited. This includes cell phones, smartwatches, and any other devices capable of photographing, duplicating, or sharing test materials.
Violations of this policy can result in serious consequences, including:
-
The student’s test not being scored
-
The need to retake the entire exam
-
Potential disciplinary action
To ensure compliance, teachers will ask students to turn off their devices and hand them in at the start of each testing session. Phones will be stored in a clear box on the teacher’s desk and returned only after testing is complete. If your student may have difficulty with this policy, we recommend they leave their device at home on testing days.
Thank you for your continued support as we encourage our students to show what they know and finish the year strong!
A Reminder About Body Sprays and Perfumes
As warmer weather becomes more consistent, we’d like to kindly remind students and families about the importance of personal hygiene. Deodorants, body sprays, and perfumes should be applied at home before school or in locker rooms before games and practices.
Please note that sprays should not be used on buses, in hallways, or in classrooms, as they can cause allergic reactions and discomfort for others.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and for helping us maintain a respectful and healthy school environment.

April's PBIS Focus... Attendance
Students that remained safe, respectful and kind over the month of March by not being referred to the office for disruptive behavior, inappropriate language, fighting or a physical confrontation watched a movie in their WIN classes last Thursday. Students that did not meet that expectation went to the auditorium to complete an assignment with Mrs. Lamothe and Mr. Altland. The assignment focused on the right way to handle frustration and anger.
This month students are focusing on getting to school. There are 18 school days in April. Students that are in school at least 16 of the 18 days will be going outside for recess on Friday, May 2nd. We are hopeful that students will be in school to get the most they can of the reviews for our PSSA testing at the end of the month as well be present for the testing days.
Thank you for supporting this initiative!
