Greetings, SCS Family. We've now completed four weeks of in-person learning in this new normal, and I am so proud of what we’ve accomplished –– TOGETHER!  As principals, teachers, support staff, and students, we are all navigating uncharted waters, and we acknowledge the challenges that many are facing. But, I want to assure you that we are here to support you every step of the way.  We’re continuing to declare VICTORY over this virus! And while claiming VICTORY does not mean there will not be more difficult days ahead….we know that with these challenges come INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS.  Early in the pandemic I talked about what keeps me up at night: That is weighing learning loss with LOST LIVES…

Educators, understand that this Board and your Superintendent will continue to keep employees and students safe.  We are moving into a holiday weekend, which means celebrating and honoring the hard-working Americans who labor each and every day to feed their families and sustain our economy. I’ll declare it until the end of time: Teaching is the most noble profession known to man.  As the District’s first teacher, I will continue to fight for and support teachers, because you are the lifeblood of our organization. As we gather with family for the holiday, please remember to wear your masks and get vaccinated at one of the many free locations across the city and county. WE CAN and WE WILL overcome this virus; but we must do it TOGETHER.  Together we MUST BELIEVE. Together we WILL ACHIEVE. Together, we are REIMAGINING 901!

Respectfully,   Dr. Joris M. Ray, Superintendent
