Dear SCE Families
On Monday our Fall Fundraiser kicks off. Please spread the word to your neighbors and family members that want to help support SCE - we would love to celebrate with with a comfy cozy day before September if we meet our 1st goal of $3000! Family members from far away may even help support your child's school if not comfortable coming to upcoming events. Thank you in advance for considering.
We have picture day coming up next week on Wednesday!
We thank you for ensuring your child is transitioning back to masks at school. Adults and students are required to mask while indoors during instruction. We have used the beautiful weather to be creative outside with lessons and activities. Our numbers of close contacts have decreased from one week ago to this week so we will continue our "teaming" approach with distancing, cohorting, and hand washing.
The School Dismissal Manager system is currently being merged in our front office and we hope to transition very soon. Please contact us with any questions and have a wonderful weekend.
Your Admin Team
