September 2019
Welcome Back!
There have been a lot of changes to the campus over the summer, which will be highlighted in the Construction Updates section below. What remains constant, though, is the commitment that every person on the Samuel Clemens campus, as well as those in SCUCISD and communities at large have for each one of our 2,624 students currently enrolled.
We encourage each of our parents and students to review both the Student Code of Conduct (English/Spanish) and Student Handbook (English/Spanish) to be familiar with expectations and procedures for successful navigation and completion of the school year ahead. And, as always, feel free to reach out to the school with any questions or concerns or kudos. The school telephone number is 210/945-6501.

Traffic Flow
For the 2019 – 20 school year, traffic flow/patterns have been altered. The image at left—and this PDF—demonstrate the intended flow of traffic for the duration of the year. Of significant note:
- The front circle drive is ONLY for special needs buses and school visitors. Student drop-off and/or pick-up IS NOT permitted in the front circle.
- Elbel Road entrance/exit behind Lehnhoff Stadium is designated for student parking and school bus drop-off and/or pick-up.
- Schertz Parkway entrance/exit is designated for student parking and parent drop-off and/or pick-up at the steps near the cafeteria. Cars can then circle through faculty parking to exit via Schertz Parkway in order to avoid congestion with school buses.
- The Shelton Athletic Complex (tennis courts) remains available for student parking.
- Reminder that City of Schertz facilities (Playscape, Library, YMCA, City Offices) do not allow SCUC parking. Violators will be ticketed by City of Schertz.
When exiting the campus, please turn right in order to help alleviate traffic congestion.
