Spring Creek Middle School

Thank you to all that donated and participated in the Field of Flags project. SCMS raised $540 for disabled veterans. A special thanks to Ms. Moe for organizing the project and Matt McCarty for presenting to our 8th graders this morning.

Elko County parents, we’re pleased to announce that from now through June 2025, daily mental health webinars are available free of charge to all ECSD families! Through our partnership with ParentGuidance.org, these webinars offer expert-led insights on pressing topics relevant to youth well-being. Sessions begin at 4 PM or 6 PM Pacific. To Register: Visit https://lnkd.in/gVqa75-W Or scan the QR code on the November Calendar: bit.ly/4fIMefx We suggest printing the calendar for easy reference, and if registered, you’ll also receive access to the recorded sessions for convenient viewing. Reminder: All ECSD families also have access to FREE one-on-one parent coaching. Get started today: Visit ParentGuidance.org, select “Parent Coaching,” and choose "Get Started." For a full listing of mental health resources available to ECSD families—including support from ParentGuidance.org and our community partners—simply visit the ECSD website or any school site and look for “Mental Health Resources” in the top right corner.

Just a quick reminder that SCMS will have a 1pm Early Release today, Wednesday, November 13th for Teacher/Professional development. Lunch will be served and busses will run 2 hours early. Also, due to the Monday holiday there will be school this Friday, November 15th.

We are so excited to be partnering with the American Heart Association! With the American Heart Challenge, we’ll raise funds and awareness for things like congenital heart defects, nutrition security, CPR training, mental well-being and more as we work to end heart disease and stroke. The education that our 7th graders, in particular, will gain could save a life. It is our goal that all our students feel confident in performing hands only CPR or at the very least know what to do in a heart related emergency. Through your participation and support you're not only helping hearts in our community, but you're also helping those who need it most. Your donation will fund groundbreaking research and programs that literally keeps hearts beating and helps people have longer, healthier lives. Thank you for helping us reach our goal!

On Wednesday, November 13th all Spring Creek schools will have a 2-hour early release for Teacher Professional Development. Each school will dismiss students 2 hours before the usual release time. All bus routes will run 2 hours early.

During the week of November 4, students will have the opportunity to take the Nevada School Climate/Social Emotional Learning Survey in their Advisory class. This survey is administered throughout the state of Nevada during the Fall to gather student feedback about their experiences at school. The survey is an opportunity for students to anonymously share their experiences of their school’s climate with their school, school district, and NDE. To learn more about the survey, visit nevadaschoolclimate.org. Parents can preview the survey by viewing the attachment in your email. Questions on the survey are optional. Students can choose not to answer any question they do not want to answer. If you have any questions about the NV-SCSEL survey, please contact Spring Creek Middle School at 775-777-1688.

Conferences are October 29th and 30th. Notices have been sent home. If you have any questions, reach out to your student's advisory (1st period) teacher.

There will be a 2 hour Early Out for Professional Development on Wednesday, November 13th for all Spring Creek, Wells, and Carlin Schools.

Transportation will be conducting bus evacuation drills before they leave the school on Thursday afternoon. Students may be dropped off 5 to 10 minutes late as a result.
