Dear SCS School Families,
We had so much fun today at SCS's first Early Childhood Field Day and we can't wait for grades 1-7 to enjoy their turn tomorrow. A few reminders to make sure Field Day is a success:
- Bring a bagged lunch and water bottle
- Bring a mask - all students MUST wear a mask while walking to/from Pontiff
- Wear class (or grade level in middle school) color
-
Students may wear shorts with no leggings if they are Catholic School appropriate. The recommended inseam length is 5", however, if inseam is NOT 5" we ask that you use good judgement and be sure the shorts are modest!
- Don't forget it's Early Dismissal
Please be sure to mark your calendars for our End of the Year Awards Ceremonies in May. Our Athletic Award Ceremony will be on Thursday, May 13 and our first Academic Award Ceremony will be on Wednesday, May 12. More information on both events is listed below. Please take a moment to review and as always, let me know what questions you have.
Information on next year's Honors Program for our Middle School students is included below. Please review the Frequently Asked Questions and feel free to reach out with any additional questions. While the Honors Program affords a unique academic opportunity for some of our students, it is important to remember that ALL of our Middle School students will continue to be challenged by their teachers in their preparation for high school.
As it relates to students wearing masks, we've heard from several parents making sure we are aware of the governor's latest statement saying that children eight and under no longer need to wear masks. While we are aware of this update, the Department of Education has not followed suit, therefore, it is still necessary for our students to wear masks.
May God bless you and your families!
