SCS Happenings: September 24, 2020
Thank you for all you do!
From One Wildcat to Another...
Thank you for all you do to support your students and your continued partnership with our faculty and staff to ensure a successful, healthy school year. Because of you, we celebrate another wonderful week!
We thank you for your patience, your grace, and your support.
A few gentle reminders:
- Dismissal commuter line: Please remember that our parking lot does not "open" until 2:40 pm. The entrance is unblocked prior to 2:40 so the little buses can enter. Cars should not enter the lot until after 2:40. 24th Street is a very narrow street with parking available for residents, not our parents. Please do not block 24th street. Please keep your number visible for the faculty and staff to see. This expedites the process. Thank you.
- Chromebooks: Please partner with us in educating your student regarding the acceptable use of this device on loan. Having a personal device comes with digital citizenship responsibilities. The morals, values, and ethics instilled at Saint Catharine of Siena are also expected to be applied to the use of their technology. Chromebooks may only be used for educational purposes. Thank you.
Air high fives to all,
Mrs. Marcella Kraycik
Notice to our families who reside in Farming Ridge/Strawberry Run

Lunches
We encourage the packing of nut free lunches this year. Due to COVID restrictions, the students are eating in various places around our campus. They are dining either in classrooms, the cafeteria, or alfresco if weather permits. A nut free table is not available this year. Therefore, we are asking that nut free lunches and snacks be brought to school this year. We thank you for your support and respectful cooperation in this matter.
The cafeteria will be serving a limited menu if lunch service is needed. The menu for the first three weeks is attached below.
Get Ready to Walk!
We will officially kick off the 2020 WALK-A-THON this weekend. Feel free to stop by the "Starting Line" table between 9-10 am on Saturday, September 19 outside school, for a snack, water, and to pick up your TEE SHIRT. (Don't worry if you can't stop by during that time! We'll send your tee shirt home from school next week or make other arrangements).
If you haven't done so already, make sure to SHARE your fundraising page with friends, family, and even on social media if you wish. BREAKING NEWS: We are TWO-THIRDS of our way to our $25,000 goal, and we need your help to reach our goal!
THANK YOU for your commitment to our school.
Now get out there and WALK FOR SCS!

RSVPs are enabled for this event.
Box Tops for Education
No more clipping. No more sending Box Tops to school. All you need is your phone. Download the ALL-NEW Box Tops app, shop as you normally would, then simply scan your store receipts to find participating products. The app will automatically credit your school's Box Tops earnings online.
You can still clip them and send them to school. Physical Box Top clips are being phased out of production, but may continue to be found on many products throughout the store. Send your clipped Box Tops, along with any unexpired clips you may have at home, to SCS.
Twice a year, your school will receive a check and can use that cash to buy whatever it needs!
