Dear Parent/Guardians,

Summer is fast approaching! As a reminder, please pick up your student's medication at the school clinic on or before the last day of school. Medication that is not picked up by 3:30 pm on May 30, 2025 will be discarded. Please got to https://www.scsmustangs.org/departments/student-services/health-services to download medication administration forms and medical action plans for the 25/26 school year.

Have a safe and healthy summer!

Please ensure all outstanding student fees are paid through payschoolscentral.com or by sending cash or check to the school office. Kindly note that students with unpaid prior year fees are not permitted to participate in field trips or student clubs next school year. If would like to discuss a payment plan, please call the office at 440-572-7140. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

As we look at class assignments for the upcoming school year, please know that requests need to be made to the principal. When creating class rosters, our staff works together collaboratively and many factors are taken into consideration to create well balanced classes.

To make a request, please email Mrs. Harrell at kharrell@scsmustangs.org stating the request and providing a reason to support the request by June 5, 2025.

Please know that I cannot guarantee that a request be granted but I will do my best to take them into consideration. Please do not make requests to individual teachers or to Mr. Biehl. Thank you!
