Congratulations to our SCS Cares of the Month - Dani Stout, Elainna Coleman, Shenie Steiner, Sophia Tison and Gwen Booher!
"There are 5 key members of the Heron Creek Middle School Attendance School-Wide Support Team. Dani Stout (District Truancy), Elainna Coleman (District Social Worker), Shenie Steiner (School Counselor), Sophia Tison (SWST Facilitator) and the Attendance Clerk (Gwen Booher). This team has made a HUGE impact on the attendance rate at HCMS this school year and has been a model for the school district in their execution of interventions. Since the 2019/20 SY, our district has struggled to return from positive attendance with a consistent decline in our attendance rate. For the 2021/22 SY, the attendance at HCMS was 90.41%, for the 2022/23 SY it was 89.97%. Without intervention, it is safe to say the pattern would have continued. This team met weekly to review students with 5 or more absences. They sent emails, made phone calls, developed mentoring plans, did home visits, worked with teachers, etc.. Due to their proactive and consistent interventions, HCMS's average attendance is now 91.43%. Not only did this team stop the momentum of the negative trajectory, but they turned the car around!"

It's never to early to get ready for Trunk or Treat!!!!
The Cambridge Vertical Raise Digital Discount Card Fundraiser is beginning soon. Students will receive instructions on how to create their digital store in the classroom of one of their grade level teachers today or early next week: 6th – Mrs. Fred, 7th – Mrs. Gerlt, 8th – Mr. Linneweber.
Proceeds from sales will go toward the cost of your student’s field trip, rewards for students, and Cambridge Events. Students who do not participate will have to pay the full amount for the field trip and the more cards they sell…the less you will have to pay for it.
The Digital Raise Digital Discount card is valid anywhere in the country. When a customer purchases a card through the link to your student’s unique online store, they will receive an email or text message with a join code and instructions on how to download and setup the App on their phone. When the App is opened a pin is dropped in the current location and all the stores, restaurants, specialty services, etc.…within a 10-mile radius that offer discounts are uploaded. So, you can use it here in North Port as well as anyplace you visit on vacation.
Please contact Mr. Linneweber if you have specific questions.

Hello, 7th grade Heron Creek Middle School Parents and Families,
Just a quick reminder that all incoming 7th grade students must have their T-Dap vaccination on file with Florida Shots prior to the start of the school year.
Please know that no student will be permitted to attend school without the T-Dap vaccination so, if you are not sure if your student has this vaccination, please contact your pediatrician or the Sarasota Health Department.
