SCC High School Family Newsletter

VISION STATEMENT:

Be a district respected by others as a model of excellence in student achievement.

MISSION STATEMENT:

To prepare our students with exceptional character, knowledge, and skills to thrive in their changing world

Hello SCC Families,

It is hard to believe that we are only 10 school days away from Christmas break! We are among very few schools that have been fortunate enough to maintain a traditional face-to-face education model and for that fact, I am extremely grateful. While we don't know what next week or next month will bring, I am confident that our staff, students, and families will rise to any challenge we are faced with.

Our staff has worked diligently to meet the needs of all students regardless of the circumstances. They continue to demonstrate a selfless, "students first" attitude and commitment to our families that is second to none.

The families we serve have been extremely gracious and accommodating as we navigate this school year together. On behalf of our staff, I want to thank all of our families for their continued support.

Here's to a safe and happy holiday season.

Go Panthers,

Mr. Soderberg

As 1st semester is coming to a close, students are reminded to check their course schedules for 2nd semester on Skyward.

All 2nd-semester schedules will be final on Friday, January 15th at 3:30 pm. Students should contact their assigned counselor (Mr. Madigan A-J or Mrs. Klein K-Z) and/or Mrs. Deno before then to request any changes. No course change requests will be accepted following the conclusion of the 1st semester.

Also, students who are scheduled for study hall in addition to their lunch study hall/WIN should connect with their counselor as well.

• Students will have until the final day of the semester (1/15/2021) to demonstrate their understanding of the essential standards through assignments, assessments, and reassessments

• At 3:30 pm on the last day of the semester (1/15/2021), the students will be assigned the academic letter grade they’ve earned to that point

• Students are expected to complete all work and reassessments by the end of the semester

• The best choice for students is to do the work now

As part of our belief in providing an accurate picture of overall student performance, we have started including feedback regarding student behavior in addition to academic performance.

Student behavioral feedback is entered on Friday of every other week and can be found within Family Access. The behaviors are rated by frequency as provided below and do not impact the academic grade. The feedback is designed to simply inform parents of the observed behaviors of their child.

Behavior Rating Scale (Frequency)

O = Often

S = Sometimes

R = Rarely

Here is the link to our behavioral expectations and feedback format: LINK
