Dear Parents,
We are so excited to share this happy holiday season with our students! We have many fun things this month, so make sure to check the calendar below.
One thing I would like to bring to your attention is our Lost and Found. It is overflowing! Before Thanksgiving, every class did a walkthrough on the way to or from lunch and few items were retrieved. We ask you to support us by reminding your student to check Lost and Found for items and bring those home. We also ask for you to put names on items to help us get them back to their rightful owners when they are found.
On December 18, all remaining items in Lost and Found will be put out in the cafeteria between 8:30 and 10. We will have our students walk through and collect items that belong to them. Any items that are not claimed at that time will be taken to Goodwill on December 19.
Parents are always welcome to come to school and check the Lost and Found during school hours.
Thank you for your help and support!
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 JOY. Joy is finding a way to be happy even when things don't go your way.
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.
