Dear SCCS parents,
 
Welcome to a new school year! We are excited about the new pencils, schedules, material to cover, and places to explore. I am so happy to have your family joining us.
 
I will send out newsletters monthly to remind of upcoming activities, and link back to these events on our website so you can click the blue underlined title to go directly to the Event page and RSVP there. Deadlines for several upcoming trips are coming up this week. The newsletters are also posted under the Blog section on the website.
 
I prayed for our families tonight, for wisdom and patience as we teach our children and adjust to the new school year. Have a wonderful week!
