June/July 2025 Newsletter From Scott Elementary
A Note From the Principal
As we close the book on the 2024-25 school year, all of us at Scott Elementary would like to say "thank you" for your support throughout the year. Scott Elementary is a great school community with outstanding students, supportive parents, and teachers and staff that go above and beyond. Again, on behalf of the staff of SES, THANK YOU!
If you are moving over the summer or transitioning to Mascoutah Middle School, we wish you nothing but the best! If we can help you in any way, don't hesitate to reach out.
This newsletter will serve as a sneak peek into what's ahead for the 2025-26 school year, sharing some important dates and other relevant information. One more newsletter will be sent later this summer as we approach the start of the new school year.
In the meantime, enjoy your summer! Please feel free to contact the SES office if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Kellen Kettwich
Principal
