A Message from the Principal
Hello and welcome to December! Can you believe we only have a few more weeks in the year 2018? With the holidays quickly approaching and the hustle and bustle that comes with them, it's a great time to remember the importance of fueling our rides with positive energy and having a positive mindset.
The Energy Bus Student Pledge for Principle #4: "I Fuel My Ride with Positive Energy because being positive makes me better and it makes everyone around me better."
Buckle up and let's enjoy the ride together! Please be sure to read about all of the exciting events scheduled at SCES during the month of December!
Sending lots of positive energy your way for an amazing month!
Happy Holidays!

Morning Drop-off Procedures
- 1. Kindergarten and 1st grade students (and older siblings) drop-off at the back of the school (Kindergarten line); while 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders drop-off at the front of the school. This allows for a more even number of drop-offs at both places.
- 2. Please pull all the way forward when dropping-off students at the front of the school. This keeps the car line moving and affords for more cars to unload at one time. We have two entrances (200 and 300 wings) in which students can enter to safely get into the building and move to their classrooms. For everyone's safety, please refrain from going around vehicles while in the drop-off lane.
- 3. The supervising staff members go inside at 7:38 am. Students are to be in their classrooms by the 7:40 am tardy bell. Please escort your student into the front office after 7:38 am. Morning routines & classroom instruction begin at 7:30 am each morning.
We certainly appreciate your understanding and cooperation when it comes to following these procedures.
Reminders
*All afternoon transportation changes must be communicated to the front office by 11:00 am. Please reference the Student Handbook for further information.
*Please remember the South Carolina Compulsory Attendance Laws and Regulations in regards to the number of minutes students must attend school each day. Every minute that a student is not in class is counted and reported to the state. If a student misses even 15 minutes of class, this adds up to over an hour of class each week. Please make every minute count for learning!
