Dear SCS School Families,

It's hard to believe that we are about to wrap up 3rd quarter and begin our last quarter of this school year. In August I know many of us were unsure how this year would progress, but I am so proud of our students, faculty, parents and entire community for staying committed to keeping our kids in school. What a wonderful blessing!

As we delve into the 4th quarter, we have some important dates to share. Please be sure to update your calendars. Most importantly, I want to point out that the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL for students in grades 1-6 has CHANGED!!! The last day of school for 1st - 6th graders will be Wednesday, May 26 and it will be a full day of school! In addition, the closing programs for Early Childhood have changed. They are as follows:

PK3: May 14
PK4: May 17
Kindergarten: May 18

Times and details will be shared by your specific teacher, so be on the lookout.

We've also outlined dates for ACT Aspire testing, Book Fair and Field Day later in the newsletter. Lots of fun planned as we wrap up this crazy year!

We are also planning for next school year and are excited to announce that we are going to offer an Honors section for 5th graders. More information will be shared in the coming months about the process for application. Mrs. Scamardo will provide information to our rising 5th graders and their parents.

Finally, if you haven't had a chance to come out to the Friday night Fish Fry, please come grab some delicious food while supporting our hardworking SCS Men's Club. I'll be out there parking cars and would love to see you!

May God bless you and your families!

Yours in Christ,

Ms. Maria Ward

SCS Principal

SCS IN-PERSON BOOK FAIR - April 7 - 16

We are so excited to be able to offer students a sense of normalcy and joy after they’ve missed so much this year, however, parents will not be able to join the students as we still are not having visitors on campus.

The safety and well-being of your child is our priority. We’re taking extra precautions to host a safe, socially-distanced Book Fair, focusing on preventive measures. More information will be forthcoming about the E-Wallet (cashless payment) option which is how we are encouraging students to pay in a safe, secure way.
