At the school board meeting on Monday, March 10, 2025, the board voted to convert Thursday, March 20, 2025, to a full instructional day for students.
During Read Across America Week, students and staff at Scottsburg Elementary had an amazing time. Throughout the school, Dr. Seuss' books were read during the week. Students also enjoyed dressing up during the various school spirit days like "Reach for a Sweet Read Day", "Read A Shirt Day", and "Books Brighten Our World". While in the library, students had to get busy and rise to the challenge to build the tallest Dr. Seuss hat and also got to play Dr. Seuss Musical Books. Ms. Cowan, school principal, treated everyone to delicious ice cream sundaes. It was a great week at Scottsburg Elementary.
A special THANK YOU to the students, parents, grandparents, and staff for helping make the Scottsburg Elementary Book Fair a success. With the support of our families and students, the library will be able to purchase new books.
Mark your calendars for these upcoming events at Scottsburg Elementary.

Mrs. Christie Lewis, ITRT, led an exciting hands-on STEAM activity for Mrs. Satterfield and Mrs. Throckmorton's 3rd-grade students at Scottsburg Elementary! Students built and tested balloon-powered cars, exploring engineering, force, and motion while adding their own creative touches. Through problem-solving and experimentation, they fine-tuned their designs to race their cars successfully.
