With CHS’s decision to move their graduation ceremony to Friday, we will move forward with conducting our Awards Day Ceremonies for the 4th Nine Weeks to Thursday (May 26th). If you are unable to celebrate with us in person we will record those ceremonies and post online to view later. Times are as follows…
8:30am - 8th Grade
10:30am - 7th Grade
12:15pm - 6th Grade
The eLearning day originally scheduled for Thursday (5/26) has been CANCELED and WILL NOT be observed on Friday (5/27) for the middle school. Both days will be a regular school day. Thanks!
Parents and Guardians - We sent home a sheet of paper with a QR Code for our yearly school climate survey a few weeks ago. If you have not had a chance to fill out this survey, please do so ASAP. The survey closes tomorrow (5/24). Thanks.
Please note that at this time this text is informational only and no decisions have been made or plans adjusted… Should Crescent need to move their graduation ceremony to Friday (5/27) instead of Thursday (5/26) for any reason, SIMS will move our Awards Day Ceremonies forward to Thursday and follow our normal times (8:30am for 8th, 10:30am for 7th, and 12:15pm for 6th). Our original fallback date conflicts with ceremonies at the elementary schools. We understand that should this change be needed it might conflict with your prearranged schedules, so we will record our ceremony as well and post online to be viewed at your convenience. Thank you!
Students are coming home with Progress Reports for the 4th Nine Weeks. Please note that there is a clerical error on the report as it says the 3rd Nine Weeks, but the grades in Q4 are for the 4th Nine Weeks and are correct. We apologize for any confusion. Have a great day!
The SIMS Performing Arts Department showed out this evening. Shout out to Mr. Shane Vickery, Ms. Kaitlyn Hamilton, Mr. Matthew Speer, and all the students for putting something great together. A job well done! 👏🏻 🎼 🎶
We hope everyone received our robocall with this information, but we wanted to put it out on social media as well. Today (April 25th) your student is bringing home a sheet of paper with a unique QR code on it from the SC Department of Education. This code will take you to our school report card parent/guardian survey. Please take a few minutes and complete this survey as it is very important to our school. If you need assistance with the QR code or survey, please feel free to contact us at the school. We are happy to help in any way.
For planning and scheduling purposes, SIMS will celebrate our 4th Nine Weeks Awards Day on Friday, May 27th at the following times in the gym...
8th Grade - 8:30am
7th Grade - 10:30am
6th Grade - 12:15pm
This date is also the inclement weather graduation date for Crescent High School. Should CHS need to move their ceremony to this date for any reason, we will move our ceremony to Tuesday, May 31st and utilize the same times as above. If they do not need it, we will celebrate our students on May 27th. Go Tigers!
