This month, we’re celebrating someone who brings sunshine into every school day — Mrs. Vicky Helderman!
Mrs. Helderman is known for her cheerful spirit and the way she makes advanced math not only understandable, but genuinely fun for her students. Her classroom is a place where encouragement, high expectations, and lots of laughter all work together to help students succeed.
Beyond the classroom, Mrs. Helderman pours her heart into our school community. She supports Guidance and Advisory groups, helps students grow as leaders, and leads meaningful service trips, including visits to the local food bank. She also coordinates field trips that students earn through merit and achievement, creating experiences that motivate and inspire.
Mrs. Helderman’s commitment, positivity, and passion for student success make a lasting impact on everyone she works with.
💙 We are grateful for all she does for Scott City Schools! #SCWeR1

We want to update our community on a precautionary incident today at Scott City Elementary.
Out of an abundance of caution, we called the Scott City Fire Department to address a reported overheating ceiling heater in an elementary hallway.
We are happy to report there was no fire, and all students are safe. We are immensely thankful for the swift and professional response from our Scott City Emergency crews, who verified the safety of our building. Malfunctions like this can occur during the change of seasons, and we appreciate their dedication to our students' well-being!

Way to go, McKinleigh! 💙💛 Keep up the amazing work! #SCWeR1
