Connecting js to html in django not working

I am trying to connect js to html in django.

When i include script inside html file it excetutes the command, however i created seperate js file and linked to django so it does not work whereas I linked css file and it works fine ,

I am learning and using tutorials some of them are old and i do not know whether i am using old style and this is why linking js to django does not work. Would be happy if you could help to understand where i am doing wrong:

in index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
{% load static %}

<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'school/css/main.css' %}">

  </head>
  <body>

    <div>{% block content %}{% endblock  %} </div>

    <script type="text/javascript" scr="{% static 'school/js/main.js' %}"> </script>

  </body>

</html>

in settings i have : 

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'static')]

and main.js file: 

alert ("Hello");

My django version is my django version is 2.2.6

Depending on which version of Django you are using, {% load staticfiles %} no longer exists. I think this has been removed with Django 2.

I just found this: {% load static %} and {% load staticfiles %}: which is preferred?
