Dear SCMS Students, Parents, and Guardians,
What a blessing August has been at Switzerland County Middle School! As we begin the 2026–2027 school year, I could not be more excited about the incredible group of students we have at SCMS. Our students have come back ready to learn, grow, and make this school year a great one. The energy in our building has been positive, and it has been exciting to watch our students settle into routines and build relationships with their teachers and classmates.
I also want to take a moment to recognize our amazing teachers and staff. They have been working incredibly hard to provide meaningful learning experiences, support our students, and create a school environment where every student can be successful. Their passion, dedication, and commitment to our students are truly appreciated. I am proud of the work they do each and every day!
Fall sports are also in full swing! Our Pacer athletes have been working hard, representing our school with pride, determination, and teamwork. I encourage our families and community members to come out and support our athletes whenever you can. There is nothing quite like seeing our students compete while hearing the Pacer faithful cheering them on!
We are also excited about the many opportunities for our students outside of the classroom. On Thursday, students had the opportunity to sign up for clubs, and I am looking forward to seeing our students get involved, discover new interests, and build connections with others.
As we look ahead to September, please mark these important dates on your calendar:
📸 SCMS Picture Day: Thursday, September 3
💻 Synchronous eLearning & Parent/Teacher Conferences: Thursday, September 24
Thank you to our parents, families, and community for your continued support of Switzerland County Middle School. When we work together, our students benefit the most. I am incredibly proud to be a Pacer and excited about what lies ahead.
Let's make September another great month at SCMS!
Do The Right Thing!
