Dear SCS School Families,

As we near the end of Catholic Schools Week, I want to take the opportunity to thank you all for making the sacrifices to send your children to Catholic School and specifically, for choosing SCS for your family! In addition I'd like to thank our SCS Faculty & Staff who have answered the call to help educate Jesus' youngest followers. They give selflessly everyday and I am so thankful for their commitment to Catholic education.

As we look to next week -- it's Spirit Week! Please review the list (below) of fun activities we have planned. Please utilize what you have around your house for costumes and accessories. The intention is not to make you buy items, but to let the kids express their creativity as we prepare for the fun of this modified Mardi Gras break.

May God continue to keep us all safe and healthy as we prepare for our Mardi Gras holiday and the beginning of Lent.
Yours in Christ,
Ms. Maria Ward
SCS Principal

NO PARKING!
No parking in the parking lot behind the field. There are new tenants.
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?
Please send an email with all information to gatorbites@scsgators.org.
Gator Bites comes out every Thursday via email.
