Eagle News

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We are excited about the construction progress at our school. A new playground was installed this past week for upper grade students. The new wing continues to move along. They are also working on drainage, plumbing, and adding bathrooms to existing kindergarten rooms. We cannot wait to be in our new wing next year!

Thank you so much for your continued understanding as we navigate this year of change.

Warm regards,

Melissa Terry

Principal

Check to see if you are qualified to receive a free health pack for your family.

Inside the HealthPacks – monthly boxes filled with over-the-counter tests for COVID and other seasonal illnesses, vitamins, a pre-charged food card for buying healthy foods, product samples, and more. Additionally, our AbundaConnect service provides free talk, text, and data, ensuring our customers stay connected.

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 word is Responsibility.

Responsibility is proving you can be trusted with what is expected of you

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, Mrs. Plyler will have to schedule a meeting for an Attendance Conference. Please make sure to get your note in so that this does not happen.

It is easy to link your card to the Ingles Tools for Schools program. Just visit https://www.ingles-markets.com/savings/sg2/education/tools-for-schools and click on the link on the right side to link your card.
