Dear SCCS families,
After the really heavy rain Monday, this gorgeous week has ended up being a busy one for our family as we are trying to be disciplined with school but can hardly resist going outdoors as much as possible. I am still so thankful that I have the freedom to do school outdoors when we want, or to take a break for a walk in the middle of class time, since it makes us all more productive to get out in the fresh air for a little while.
It has been a test for my patience as we are still awaiting the website for our school to be completely up and running. We are trying to have enrollment available online to simplify my load of paperwork, and to streamline the entire process for our families. I apologize for the delay as the process just has taken longer than expected, but I am pleased with the work done so far and cannot wait till it is officially available to share with you! We are in the home stretch of the school year, and are looking forward to some last activities that are educational, provide support to you as the teacher, or are just plain fun! Check the list below for April activities that can enrich your family's school experience and family life this month. Also please note May events coming up and make plans to join us in those if possible.
