Making the Grade in Middle School
Middle School is a time when important learning is taking place. The knowledge students gain at the Middle School builds the foundations needed to be successful at the High School and beyond!
Attendance plays a huge factor in success in the Middle School. Coming to school on time and every day is extremely important. When students are not in the classroom, they are not learning. If they are not learning, they cannot succeed! Daily attendance is crucial to achieve success in academic classes.
Ensuring students are engaging in reading, writing, and discussion of what is going on in their classes is extremely important. Nightly homework will reinforce the learning that is taking place within the classroom during the day. This reinforcement of learning will lead to success in the classroom.
Our school website will give you access to the school calendar and upcoming events. You have access to your child's grades, attendance record, lunch account, and transportation information through the use of the Silver Creek PowerSchool Parent Portal. The access information you received last year is still valid. If you have lost or forgotten your access code, please contact the middle school office at 934-2603, ext. 1400.
There are scheduled parent conferences dates on the school calendar, but you may at any time call to schedule an individual conference with a teacher.
Our goal is to make your child's middle school experience a positive and successful one! We welcome your involvement, suggestions, and encourage you to call the middle school office at ext. 1400 at any time.
Dress Code: An Important Part of the Educational Climate
The District has designed a Code of Conduct that includes a student dress code. The dress code was written with two major features in mind; safety for all students and hygiene concerns. Beginning in January 2024, all elements that are stated in the Code of Conduct will be enforced. It is important that the school community and our students respect and support this policy.
A student’s dress, grooming and appearance, including accessories, hair style etc., shall:
- Be safe, appropriate and not substantially disrupt or interfere with the educational process. Extremely brief garments and see-through garments are not appropriate.
- Ensure that underwear is covered with outer clothing.
- Footwear is required at all times. Footwear that may be a safety hazard will not be allowed.
- Specific dress requirements may be required by the District for students participating in activities in which clothing and accessories (i.e., long baggy clothes, jewelry) may be a safety or health concern, such as science laboratories, physical education and interscholastic athletics.
- Not include items that present a threat to the student’s, or another student’s, health or safety.
- Not include the wearing of hats during the school day except for a medical or religious purpose or unless otherwise authorized by the school.
- Not include items that are lewd, vulgar, obscene, suggestive (of a sexual nature), libelous or denigrate others on account of race, color, religion, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation or disability or any other protected class under federal, state, or local law.
- Not promote and/or endorse the use of alcohol, tobacco, smoking paraphernalia or illegal drugs/substances and/or encourage other illegal or violent activities.
Each building principal, assistant principal or dean will be responsible for informing all students and their parents/guardians of the student dress code at the beginning of the school year and any revisions to the dress code made during the school year. Students who do not adhere to the dress code expectations may be asked to:
- modify their appearance by covering or removing the offending item.
- replace it with an acceptable item.
Students who refuse or repeatedly fail to cooperate with the dress code expectations will be considered insubordinate and will be subject to discipline accordingly.
