Has a SCIS teacher or staff member gone above and beyond for your child/family? We want to hear about it! Parents, community members, staff members and students are welcome to share.

She cares so much about her students and takes extra time, if needed, to make sure that her students are excelling. She is such a fun teacher and we feel so blessed our son has her this year! Thank you, Mrs. Villanueva!
Courtney Claborn: Mrs. Claborn is passionate in effective teaching kids in her math class. She continuously improves her ways to teaching to ensure the effectiveness for both in-person and virtual learning students. She has every student's needs in her heart and she takes efforts in meeting those needs.Mrs. Claborn is also very proactive in communicating with parents about student's learning status, and she offers solutions to improve when there's a need.
