The Dragons' Lair
January Edition
From the Principals
Welcome Back and Happy New Year Dragons!
We are excited to start the New Year and welcome students back in person tomorrow, Tuesday, January 4, 2022. Doors open at 7:40 for car riders.
Free lunches will continue for all students. This includes breakfast. Students may still purchase ala carte items if they have money in their accounts. Here is a link to the Jan. lunch menu.
Just a reminder, dismissal for car riders will start at 3:00 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Wednesday is our early dismissal that starts at 2:45. Please contact the office if you need a car rider number. Wednesdays are early release days. If your child is a bus rider, someone must be visible to receive your student at the bus stop. The school bus will bring children back to school if someone is not present. This is an inconvenience for all involved so please make sure you have these arrangements in place.
As we move through winter, we will be mindful of the forecast. If inclement weather is predicted, we will send devices home with students in case school is canceled due to the weather. We will notify families on days that devices are coming home. We are hopeful that these instances will be limited this year. Be sure to have your correct email listed in the parent portal so you do not miss any important announcements.
Thank you again for your partnership! We look forward to a great rest of the school year!
Go Dragons!

Parent Portal
If you have not created your Parent Portal account, you will want to do this as soon as possible. This account will follow your child as long as they are enrolled in an SCSC school. This is where you can access grading information, attendance information, update your contact information, complete annual registration, and make payments to your child's account.
Our Report Cards are posted on the Parent Portal each quarter. We encourage everyone to go to their parent portal and view their child's report card. Please view this video for information on how to access the report card. Report cards will be posted on the parent portal each quarter.
If you do not have access to your parent portal please email your name, your student's name, and your email on file to SCEPortal@scsc.school.
Report cards will be posted on the portal on Thursday, January 13th.
