Second Semester Update: SCMS will start semester 2 on Wednesday January 29th. Schedules will be handed out in Dragon Time. This extension will allow our students and staff to wrap up any projects and tests within their classes.
Would you like your student to get some extra tutoring in math? The Middle School is offering Free After School Math Tutoring beginning next week! This is not homework help! This tutoring program is an 8 week (16 sessions) curriculum that includes math topics that students struggle with the most. In addition to a brand new calculator, perfect attendance for tutoring will get your student a Creek Spirit gift (Value: $25.00). You would be responsible for transportation home at 3:25 pm from the middle school on your child's tutoring days. There are only 20 spots remaining, so email krobertson@swcrk.org or call 810-591-1716 to get registered. Another round of tutoring will start after spring break if your student can't make this session.
Enjoying a cold night with SCMS families at the Winter Choir Concert. Mr. Leuck and the kids are amazing!
This week our SCMS teachers worked in their achievement teams on high yield strategies to increase student learning. Staff reflected on metacognitive (thinking about learning) lessons, jigsaw methods, and talk move lessons. #Fearless teachers
