Elementary Sneak Peak

Are your kids excited about the first day of school? Anyone a little nervous about what that day will look like or their new teacher? 

The K - 5th grade teachers would like to invite elementary students and their parents to come take a sneak peek at school on  Thursday, August 24. 

Teachers will be in their classrooms from  5:00 to 6:30 pm. You can say hello to your teacher, come see what your room looks like and even drop off your school supplies!
New Family Orientation - August 29th

Whether you're a brand new family, or feel like you are still getting situated, come to the New Family Orientation night to get your bearings. It would be helpful for us to know if you have questions in advance, you can submit them by email to School Administrator Tim Visser.

The New Family Orientation will be at 7pm on Tuesday, August 29 in the South Wing of the Secondary Building
Welcome Back Picnic

Come out to SCS on Friday, September 8, at 6:00 pm for the All-School Family Picnic! This annual event is a highlight of the back-to-school season, giving families and staff a chance to mingle, friends the opportunity to catch up, and new families to be welcomed in to the community. We'll be gathering here on campus, so bring some lawn chairs or a picnic blanket for seating.

We will provide hot dogs and buns, condiments, plates, napkins, and utensils. Please see below for potluck assignments:

Last names starting A-J bring a dessert to share

Last names starting K-Z bring a salad to share

See you there!

We're looking for donations for the Dessert Dash at the 65th Anniversary Celebration on Saturday, September 30th. If you have a favorite dessert or sweet you would like to share with our SCS Community please email Michelle in the front office for more details!
Early Dismissal and Labor Day Childcare Signup

The first day of school will be an early dismissal, and the Friday of Labor Day weekend there will be no school, but Childcare will be open on both of those days. Please email Amy Hart to secure and confirm as spot for your child if you need childcare. Thank you!
Athletics Packet Reminder

If you are a student athlete participating in Middle School or High School Volleyball, or High School Soccer this fall, your athletics packets were due August 21st. It is important that you get these turned into the office ASAP!

If you have any questions, please contact the office or Mr Hopkins immediately.
Back to School Supply Lists

Supply lists for the coming year went out with the Back to School letter a few weeks ago. If you are a current parent, you should have received it in your email inbox. For your convenience though, you can find the elementary supply list here, and the "all school" information page here.
Donation Request - A/C Unit

Our on site school server generates a lot of heat, so much so that we have to cool the room it's in to ensure it operates properly. The A/C unit that was meeting this duty suffered a mechanical failure and needs to be replaced. Do you have a small window A/C unit, or portable rolling unit you no longer use or need? Please contact Mr. Hopkins or Mr. Visser to coordinate. Thank you!
