What's Happening In August?
Heritage Day
Heritage/Grandparents Day will be this Friday, September 9 at SCES. Mrs. Laura and Mrs. Paige have planned an awesome day full of interesting exhibits and activities. Pre K Grandparents and guests with PreK students will park north of the PreK building in the BOE parking and check in with your student's teacher after 8:15 am. K through 5th grade parents and guests with K-5th grade students will park on the south end of the gym in the grassy area and check in with your student's teacher after 8:15 am. Students will be required to stay with their teacher until the completion of Heritage Day. Parents and grandparents may sign students out with their teacher after Heritage Day is completed at 11:30 am as long as you are on the school check out list for that student. Check out the folder below for the schedule and description of events.

Homecoming Week/Red Ribbon Week
Last year at SCES, we celebrated Homecoming and Red Ribbon Week during the same week. This year, the dates would not work for us to do that and we will celebrate both weeks independently. Homecoming week is September 19-23 and Red Ribbon Week will be October 24-28. We will follow up with more details concerning both.

Final Forms
SCSD has moved all enrollment packets to digital format through an app called Final Forms. Each student should have a viable parent email through PowerSchool (Parent Portal) in order for these forms to be pushed out. The digital format will allow parents the convenience of finalizing paperwork at home, linking multiple siblings together to reduce time and paperwork and auto-filling data for students in the upcoming years. Parents can create accounts once an email has been received or can follow the directions linked below to set set up your own account. If you have not received an email inviting you to create an account with Final Forms, please submit your name, email address, and students information on the google form linked below. Please contact the school if you need help with this process.
Ice Cream and Slushies
Ice cream will be sold each Thursday throughout the school year. Students will also be able to purchase slushies in the lunchroom all other days of the week. Both can be purchased for $1.
