The South Carolina Department of Education partners with the Education Oversight Committee to deliver a parent survey. The responses to this survey help school and district leaders understand how parents feel about the school. In addition to their report cards, all students in grades K-12 will bring home a letter today, Tuesday, March 17th. The letter contains a QR code that can be scanned with a cell phone. All other information needed to complete the parent survey is printed across the bottom of the letter. If you have multiple children, you may get several letters. We are only asking you to complete one survey for each school your children attend. You are permitted to complete one survey for each of your children if you so choose. Surveys must be completed by Friday, April 17th.
So proud of Katie Shaw, Science Lead at Newberry Middle School! Her dedication to going above and beyond for students truly makes a difference. Through her hard work, she has successfully secured multiple competitive grants over the past several years, expanding opportunities in both science and agricultural education.
These include the South Carolina Department of Education Garden Grant, South Carolina Farm Bureau Federation Ag in the Classroom Grant, Newberry County Farm Bureau Grant, and the AgSouth Farm Credit Growing Our Community Grant. Because of her leadership, our students have experienced meaningful, hands-on learning—from the Ag in the Classroom Mobile Classroom for 7th grade to authentic lab experiences for 8th graders through a partnership with Greenwood Genetic Lab.
We are incredibly fortunate to have her at Newberry Middle School. I couldn’t be more proud to serve as her principal.
Go Tigers! 🐅

Greenwood Genetic Lab recently visited our 8th-grade students at Newberry Middle School, providing an engaging, hands-on learning experience in genetics!
During the lab, students explored how scientists use specialized tools and techniques to solve genetic mysteries. Through interactive activities, they investigated the genetic determination of calico cats using karyotype analysis and gel electrophoresis. This real-world application of science allowed students to deepen their understanding of genetic concepts while actively engaging in authentic scientific practices.
Experiences like this not only strengthen students’ content knowledge but also spark curiosity and inspire interest in STEM-related fields.
A special thank you to Mrs. Katie Shaw for making this incredible opportunity possible for our NMS students—well done!
