Dear SCS School Families,

What a fun week... so many creative and fun costumes around campus this week as we showed our SCS Spirit! Thank you for helping your kids showcase their love for SCS as we know it's YOU - the parents - who pull the details together! Go Gators!!!!

Tomorrow is a 12pm dismissal as we kickoff the Mardi Gras holiday. Enjoy the much-deserved break next week although we know it will look different from past years. As always, be safe and stay healthy. We want to see everybody back in person on Monday, February 22!

May God continue to watch over us all - students, faculty & parents - as we celebrate our beloved Mardi Gras and begin the Lenten season of reflection and repentance as we prepare our hearts for the celebration of Easter.
Yours in Christ,
Ms. Maria Ward
SCS Principal

Since the COVID-19 restrictions will most likely continue through the end of the school year, we have re-evaluated the COVID policy regarding students who quarantine without the class in Grades 4-7. Therefore, if your child has to quarantine because of an exposure and the rest of the class is in school, we will begin streaming classes online. This will look a bit different for each teacher. Classes may be viewed live or teachers will post videos for students. We hope this allows the students to not miss valuable teacher instruction. This is only an option for our students who are quarantined due to COVID-19 and have spoken to our school nurse. Teachers will reach out directly when they are notified that a child is quarantined. 
We have adopted the CDC recommendation to change the number of quarantined days from 14 to 10 after a direct exposure. The quarantine time will remain 10 days after a positive test. Please know these are general guidelines and each case will still be evaluated for the best course of action on an individual basis.
Have something you want to include in Gator Bites?

Gator Bites comes out every Thursday via email.
