The Office of Student Equity Enrollment and Discipline offers Virtual Professional Development Sessions during July around SEL, the centralized withdrawal process, RTI2-B, 504, and truancy processes. We are asking leaders to please share with school staff. 

Interested participants will need to register for courses in PLZ. Session facilitators will send the link for virtual sessions to all enrolled participants before the training.

If you have any questions, email Thomasena Stuckett at stucketttd@scsk12.org. 

Administrators and teachers, are you ready to make sure SEL is covered in your school? See the SEL School Readiness information that has been added to the School Readiness Checklist below to assist in your preparation for the upcoming school year. In addition, summer professional development will be provided in July to staff to get acclimated to the ReThink SEL platform and curriculum.

The Shelby County Schools Board of Education voted to adopt a new 10-point grading scale for students enrolled in grades Pre-K through 12. This was done to align with the new state law uniform grading system.

The new MSCS grading scale will go into effect beginning with the 2022-2023 school year.

The revised grading policies are available and can be accessed by clicking here.   

Please be reminded of important information contained in the AOSS Manual regarding immunizations. Take a moment to review this information and share it with your team.
