April 1, 2021 - Issue 31

Dear SCS School Families,

On this Holy Thursday, I hope this email finds you enjoying some much-deserved downtime with family and friends as we reflect on the events of Holy Week, the Triduum and the joy of Jesus' Resurrection on Easter Sunday.

I've included a short prayer for each of the remaining days in Holy Week below in hopes that you will take a moment to reflect during this most special and sacred of Catholic holidays.

A quick housekeeping note for our return on Tuesday, April 6... as the weather continues to get hotter, please remember to send a refillable water bottle with your student, so they can refill during the school day. The water bottle filling stations are the only water fountains available on campus due to COVID restrictions.

May God continue to bless you and your families and I wish you all a blessed and safe Easter holiday.

Yours in Christ,

Ms. Maria Ward

SCS Principal

ACT TESTING - April 13 - 15, 2021!

ACT Aspire Testing is for students in Grades 3-6. Testing will take place in the morning and will be completed by lunchtime each day. Therefore, we encourage any appointments be made in the afternoon or after the school day. If a student in these grades is tardy and arrives after testing has begun, he/she will remain in the office until testing is complete.

Here are some helpful tips to ensure your child has a successful week of testing:

Get a good's night rest.
Eat a well-balanced breakfast
Arrive at school on time
Bring 4 sharpened #2 pencils WITH good erasers to school each day
Bring something to read for early finishers
Pack a healthy snack and your water bottle
