DC Photos

Our yearbook advisor, Mr. Wheeler, is looking for Washington DC photos from this year. If you have any and would like to share, I'm sure he would be grateful. Sending in a CD or e-mailing them would be great (rwheeler@ecsd.us)

SCHS Touchdown Club Taco Bar

Tardies

Need some help. One of our main goals is to prepare our kids for high school....and life for that matter. We have, and have always had, a problem with kids getting to class on time. Your help in reinforcing the importance of being on time is appreciated. Not many of us have jobs where we are able to be late without some consequences. This also goes for first hour when parents are dropping their students off after first hour starts. Late is late.

SCMS PTO....Write This Down

We will be starting a SCMS PTO group this year. I see it as a GREAT communication tool and a way to strengthen the bond between home and school. Tuesday October 16th, 7:00 pm will be our first organizational meeting in our Media Center. I hope to see everyone there.

DC Parents....

If you went on this year's trip this might interest you. One of our parents that went, Mr. Eitniear, has posted his photos to a Facebook page he has created. I believe you are also able to add your DC photos to the page. Click on this link to check it out. DC Photos

DC.....Check

Another successful Washington DC trip is in the books. A special thanks to al the parents that helped to make this memory possible. We'll be having an organizational meeting for this year's 7th graders after the first of the year. Between now and then, find an 8th grade parent that went on the trip and ask them what they thought. It is truly an amazing trip.

Looking for Some Volunteers

The East China School District has a very important vote coming up on November 6th regarding our Sinking Fund. Voters in the East China School District will be asked to renew the District’s sinking fund millage on November 6th. This vote is for a 10-year renewal of the .4 mills currently being levied. This millage, which is assessed on property in the East China School District, will generate approximately $630,000 each year to fund capital improvements and renovations throughout the District. Voters in the District originally passed the millage on August 2, 2005 and renewed it on May 6, 2008. Since that time, the District has made significant and necessary improvements to school buildings. These improvements, including roofs, parking lots, floors and ventilation systems, help to keep school buildings sound. With the passage of the millage renewal, the District will continue to upgrade and improve District buildings to ensure that students have a safe place in which to learn. I am looking for a few SCMS parents to help work on a Sinking Fund Committee. We will be having two meetings, September 27th and October 25th, 5:00pm at our Central Office Board Room. If you are interested, please contact me.
