Please note that at this time this text is informational only and no decisions have been made or plans adjusted… Should Crescent need to move their graduation ceremony to Friday (5/27) instead of Thursday (5/26) for any reason, SIMS will move our Awards Day Ceremonies forward to Thursday and follow our normal times (8:30am for 8th, 10:30am for 7th, and 12:15pm for 6th). Our original fallback date conflicts with ceremonies at the elementary schools. We understand that should this change be needed it might conflict with your prearranged schedules, so we will record our ceremony as well and post online to be viewed at your convenience. Thank you!
Students are coming home with Progress Reports for the 4th Nine Weeks. Please note that there is a clerical error on the report as it says the 3rd Nine Weeks, but the grades in Q4 are for the 4th Nine Weeks and are correct. We apologize for any confusion. Have a great day!
The SIMS Performing Arts Department showed out this evening. Shout out to Mr. Shane Vickery, Ms. Kaitlyn Hamilton, Mr. Matthew Speer, and all the students for putting something great together. A job well done! 👏🏻 🎼 🎶
We hope everyone received our robocall with this information, but we wanted to put it out on social media as well. Today (April 25th) your student is bringing home a sheet of paper with a unique QR code on it from the SC Department of Education. This code will take you to our school report card parent/guardian survey. Please take a few minutes and complete this survey as it is very important to our school. If you need assistance with the QR code or survey, please feel free to contact us at the school. We are happy to help in any way.
For planning and scheduling purposes, SIMS will celebrate our 4th Nine Weeks Awards Day on Friday, May 27th at the following times in the gym...
8th Grade - 8:30am
7th Grade - 10:30am
6th Grade - 12:15pm
This date is also the inclement weather graduation date for Crescent High School. Should CHS need to move their ceremony to this date for any reason, we will move our ceremony to Tuesday, May 31st and utilize the same times as above. If they do not need it, we will celebrate our students on May 27th. Go Tigers!

Change Wars 2022 for United Way is beginning at SIMS. This year we have the lofty goal of raising $3000 as a school. Please send any dollars and/or change with your student to turn in. If we reach this goal, not only will Mr. Coats be covered in Chocolate Syrup but an assistant principal of the school's choice by vote will join in the fun as well. Winning grade level homerooms will also receive a pizza party at lunch. Our campaign ends March 22nd. Please help us reach our goal.
In addition to this, we will also conduct our Make-Up Work Day for the 3rd Nine Weeks on Friday, March 18th. Students with no missing assignments will be rewarded for their hard work. All eligible assignments are due to their teacher before the end of school on Wednesday, March 16th.
