The Principal's Desk At Sycamore

Principal's Message

Dear Sycamore Families,

Happy Fall! We are excited for the upcoming month at Sycamore. This past month we celebrated being back in school with our first PTA event, a Back to School Bash. Students and teachers have settled into routine and working diligently daily on mastering the AKS.

In other news, safety is always a priority at Sycamore. Recently, our wonderful SROs came to the school to assist staff and students in a hard lock down drill. Students did fantastic! We do ask your help in the car rider lane. Please refrain from passing other cars or speeding in the parking lot. We ask that parents are not on their cell phones as well. Thank you for ensuring the safety of staff and students while in line.

As a reminder, make sure you have signed up for ParentSquare to receive important school and classroom information. Have a blessed week and thank you for supporting our wonderful school. We are SYCAMORE STRONG!

With Gratitude,

Dr. Kelly Scarborough

Principal
