From the principal

Parents, 

This school year will be much different than what we are used to.  One thing that hasn't changed is our desire and willingness to help your child grow academically and socially.  At the forefront of our thoughts is your child's safety.  We have spent endless hours planning for the return of our students and we will do our very best to provide a safe learning environment for all.

Please remember to complete the Emergency Medical Authorization form, and continue to notify our building secretary of any phone/email changes throughout the school year.  These forms are now available on our webpage under the title "FORMS".  

If you are on Twitter, please consider following me at @cnettleton17.  Please take time to review the various items available to you through our webpage.  

Stay safe and healthy, 
Craig Nettleton
 Principal

Other FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions)
Clinic/Nurse - Our district has a nurse on staff.  However, our nurse is mainly at the elementary building, but can be called to the middle school for illnesses or emergencies.  If a student is ill or injured, he/she should report to their teacher, and with the teacher's permission, should report to the office.  The office staff will assess the situation and will either contact the nurse or have the student call home.

Cell phones - Students are permitted to bring their electronic devices to school.  They may be kept with the student throughout the day, however, they should be shut off and put away.  If an emergency arises, parents should contact the office to have a message/note relayed to your child.  Students may be granted permission to use their phone to call home, but may only do so in the office area.

Lunches - Middle school student lunches are mixed with all three grade levels (6-8).  We have two periods of lunch (A & B). Whether a student is in A Lunch or B Lunch, it is determined by subject/class.  This information will be shared with the students on their first day of school.

Busing - To find out your bus number and pick-up/drop off times, you will need to go to the website (www.sepirates.org) approximately one week before the start of school.  In the column on the left, select the BUS ROUTES tab.  Then you will select the link for the building/time for your student.  You will then scroll through these pages to locate your address.  Once you find your address, your bus number will be listed at the top of the page, and the approximate pick-up/drop off time will be next to your address. REMEMBER, all times are approximate and the student should be at the bus stop, visible to the driver.   Busing is to and from the student's resident.  If other arrangements need to be made, please contact the building secretary to obtain a bus change form.  

Schedules/Schedule Changes - For the 2020-2021 school year, schedules will be available on the student's first day of school with their homeroom teacher.  Homeroom lists will be added to the webpage approximately one week prior to the start of school.  If you have a question or concern about your schedule, or would like to request a change, please contact Mrs. Dotson ([email protected]).  Any changes MUST be made no later than Friday, September 11, 2020; after the deadline, all changes will have to be approved by the principal.

Updates/Directory Changes - If you have changed a phone number or email address, please contact the building secretary, Mrs. Witkosky ([email protected]), so that we can update that information in our system.  If you have moved within the district, you will need to complete a Bus/Address Change Form and include proof of residency (a homeowners or lease agreement).  Address change forms should be completed 1-2 weeks prior to the start date.  If you have had a change in marital status, please be sure to send a copy of the court documents to school.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to email our building secretary, Mrs. Witkosky ([email protected]).
