SCMS Hotline

This is just a reminder of a tool we started last year with a great deal of success. Many times at the middle school level students don't feel comfortable coming into the office to let us know of a "situation". The SCMS Hotline (810-637-1812) is available for those types of situations that allow students to send an text. Here is how it works. A student has thoughts of wanting to hurt themselves, or know of a friend that talks about wanting to hurt themselves, or they know of another student that brought something to school that they shouldn't have, or they know of a bullying situation, or anything that they feel an adult needs to know, they can text that to the SCMS Hotline. These texts will be monitored by myself, Mr. Westerhof and our counselor Mrs. McElreath. Students do not need to leave their name. So far we've had a few that I would classify as falling in the "Middle School Drama" category, but all in all it's been a valuable tool for our students.
