August Parent Newsletter

Parents are allowed to walk their students to their classrooms on Thursday, July 31st and Friday, August 1st. Parents should park in the grass area on the southside of the gym and enter through the gym, the auditorium or the front office. Parents and students will not be allowed to enter the building until 7:30. Parents are asked to exit the building by 8:00 so the school day can begin as normal.

Pick up locations will be as they have been the last few years. 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students will be picked up from the gym. 1st and 2nd grade students and siblings of 1st and 2nd grade students will be picked up from the front office. All 1st and 2nd grade traffic should line up in the middle lane of traffic. Kindergarten students and siblings of Kindergarten students will be picked up at the 1st grade breezeway. All Kindergarten traffic should line up in the far outside lane. All pickup will begin at 3:10.

Please bring your Driver's License in when you are bringing a child into school late or checking him/her out early. This step has been added as a safety measure!

Attendance is crucial for all students! Over the summer, our Attendance Team met with members of the Department of Juvenile Justice, DFCS, the Sheriff's Department, and the Superior Court to develop a policy that ensures students are in school and learning everyday!

We have a Parent Lunch and Learn scheduled for all students in each grade level during the first few months of the school year. Come and enjoy a yummy lunch with your student while our teachers and staff provide suggestions and resources that will make this school year successful for your favorite student. Check out the invitations below for directions on how to sign up.

Be ready for your student to tell you all about how they can become leaders of their own lives. Check out these 7 habits we will discuss throughout the school year at SCES. Help us to reinforce these habits at home with our students.

Don't forget to visit the office or your student's teacher to pay the SCS District Technology Fee. SCS provides each student access to a chromebook in each classroom. The $25 fee protects the chromebook from accidental breaks and damage that may occur throughout the year.

Beginning Monday September 4th, SCES will begin their Beginning of the Year Screener Assessements. Make sure to talk to your student about trying their best so our teachers and staff can get an accurate understanding of your student's present level of instructional needs. SCES will be in touch to discuss the results of these assessments. Check out the assessment plan linked below to stay on top of all our assessments this year at SCES.
