SLCS District Update
February 16th, 2023
Superintendent's Update
Dear SLCS Families and Staff Members,
Thank you to our Transportation Department for navigating the tricky weather today.
As we prepare to begin February Break, a special shoutout to the students and staff at SLHS who completed their “Charity Week” last week. The students participated in events such as a pep assembly, winter formal, breakfast in the commons, and a live animal presentation. In total SLHS raised over $7,000 which will be donated to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Have a great February Break!
SLCS Caring!
Steven Archibald
Superintendent

Space is limited in our Junior Kindergarten program and families who submit their enrollment packet late may not get a spot at one of their desired locations.

To be eligible for Kindergarten, students must be 5 years old on or before September 1, 2023.
Students turning 5 between September 2 and December 1, 2023, may enroll in either Junior Kindergarten or in Kindergarten with a signed waiver.
Students who turn 5 after December 1, 2023, are NOT eligible for Kindergarten or Junior Kindergarten for the 2023-24 school year.
Enrollment forms for next year’s Kindergarten and Junior Kindergarten are available on the district’s website. The Kindergarten/Junior Kindergarten page on our website outlines the documents needed for enrollment.
To see which elementary school your address is currently districted to attend, check the boundary maps on our website.
Please share this information with neighbors, friends, and family members who have an incoming Kindergarten or Junior Kindergarten student.
Resident Open Enrollment
Resident open enrollment is now available on our website. The window to apply closes on February 28th.
Parents who would like their child(ren) to participate in the Resident Open Enrollment Program must apply by completing an application form for each child. Parents are responsible for providing transportation for students choosing to participate in Resident Open Enrollment. Every student participating in the Program must re-apply and be accepted each year.
An application should be completed only if you are interested in sending your child to an elementary school other than your attendance area school. Your address determines your attendance area school. You can use our interactive Boundary Maps available here.
