The SCS Wednesday News Brief
October 18, 2017
Quick Updates:
- Winter Uniforms are scheduled to start on Monday, November 6th. If we happen to experience cold temperatures prior to that date, please send your child to school in their school uniform sweater.
- Spring Lake Police will be providing our students with a special presentation regarding social media and internet safety on November 9th. Parents are encouraged to come to school that evening at 6:30 PM for an additional presentation geared towards the adult perspective, and how to appropriately monitor and be proactive in keeping your child safe through internet usage.
- Conferences: Please be sure to visit http://www.stcatharineschool.net/scsl/News/Parent%20-%20Teacher%20Conference%20Sign-up/Sign%20Up%20Genius%20Links%202017%20-%2018.pdf?1508237428 to schedule a conference with your child's teacher. If all time slots are filled, please directly reach out to the teacher to schedule an alternate time, or perhaps a conference call. Please keep in mind that some of our middle school teachers instruct as many as 85 students, which can lead to a great deal of conferences. If your child is doing well, please consider utilizing a phone conference or simple check-in via email, so that our middle school teachers have more available appointments for students that may be struggling or require an parent conference.
