The Green Machine Takes the Field
It was an exciting weekend for the SC Green Machine Marching Band as they took the field for the first time under the direction of Tony Buczek! Getting a marching band ready for its first performance takes countless hours of practice, teamwork, and dedication. It has truly been a team effort, with many helpers working behind the scenes and students in grades 6–12 putting in the hard work to prepare. Seeing the Green Machine take the field at Friday night's football game made all of that effort worthwhile! We are incredibly proud of Mr. Buczek, our students, and everyone who has helped get the Green Machine marching. We can't wait to watch them continue to grow throughout the season!

Book Clubs Bring Reading to Life!
Students in Mrs. Kirksey's 6th Grade ELA classes are making reading an exciting part of their small-group time through Book Clubs! Each group gets to choose a book to read together, and on their assigned day, students head to the Media Center to read, discuss what they've read, and work through questions provided by Mrs. Kirksey. They then bring their ideas and responses back to discuss with her, giving students an opportunity to think more deeply about their reading and share their thoughts with others. Book Clubs have been a great way to encourage students to read while also building comprehension, discussion skills, and a love of reading. It's a great example of how purposeful small-group instruction can keep students engaged while helping them grow as readers!

Creating and Exploring in the Makerspace
Our Middle School Makerspace, located in the Media Center, gives students a place to create, explore, problem-solve, and have a little fun along the way! Students can take part in a variety of hands-on activities, work collaboratively with their classmates, and explore interests outside of the traditional classroom setting. From building and creating to puzzles, games, and other challenges, the Makerspace provides another opportunity for students to discover new talents and make connections with others. It's a great example of Building the Tribe by giving our students a place to learn, create, and belong!

FROM THE NURSE
Attention all 7th and 11th grade parents –Reminder GA LAW REQUIRES all students entering the 7th grade receive 1 dose of Tdap and 1 dose of the MCV4 vaccine. 11th graders who are 16 years of age or older are required to receive a booster dose of the MCV4. The only exception to not receiving these vaccinations under law is a medical exemption from your child's physician, which is good for 1 year, or a religious exemption, which never expires. These must be documented on the proper forms. Failure to comply with this law puts your child in danger of being WITHDRAWN from school until they are compliant! IF YOUR CHILD RECEIVES THEIR IMMUNIZATIONS IN A STATE OTHER THAN GEORGIA, you will need to obtain a copy of their shot record from your doctor and then take it to our local health department for transfer into the GRITS system. Other state forms are not accepted by our state for compliance.
The deadline to submit records/forms is September 8, 2026. If you have any questions, please contact our school nurse, Tina Calhoun.
