We want to thank all our students, staff, and families for making Stress Less Spirit Week and our Month of the Military Child activities a success! Your enthusiasm and participation were amazing. Even though it's a busy time of year, seeing so much school spirit was wonderful. Next month, get ready for Staff/Teacher Appreciation Week – a chance to show our gratitude for their hard work. We'll also have SOL testing during May. It is hard to believe the school year will end in a month and a half. As always, thank you for all you do, and please let us know if you have any questions, feedback, or concerns. Enjoy your weekend!
Justin Simmons | Principal | South County Middle School

SOL Reminder
As we prepare for SOL testing coming up, please check with your student to ensure they have (and can locate) their school-issued laptop charger. It is imperative that students bring their fully charged laptop AND their charger to school every day, especially on testing days to ensure that their laptop stays charged throughout testing. If your student cannot locate their charger, you will need to purchase a new one ($23) via MySchoolBucks or the main office. As a reminder, SOL testing starts May 7th.
