Hello SCC Families,

Winter got a bit confused last week - but what else should we expect in 2020?! The snow came early but as it melts away and we have another chance to enjoy and appreciate some warm weather.

To me, that sums up the last six months. At no fault of our own, the winter came - closure - and brought many challenges. However, now we are experiencing "warmer" times - reopening schools - and as we come together each day I can't help but notice the appreciation we all have for being back together in school.

As always, thank you for your support of our schools!

Go Panthers,

Mr. Soderberg

On the original school calendar, we were scheduled to have a professional development day on Monday, November 30th. Due to the change to a 4-day week, November 30th has been changed to a normal session school day.
