Good luck to all SCC competitors.

While the winter season can be long and difficult at times. I am thankful for the amazing students we have at SCC who are involved in a variety of activities that make the long winter more tolerable. Best of luck to all of our winter activity/athletic participants.

As always, thank you to the great SCC families who support our schools at every opportunity.

Go Panthers!

Free Application for Federal Student Aid:

• The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) opened on October 1st.
• What is the FAFSA? The FAFSA, or the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is the form that the government, along with several colleges and universities, uses to determine how much financial aid college students should receive each year.

  In general, federal student aid (financial aid from the government) is determined based on four factors:

  1. Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
  2. Year in school
  3. Enrollment status (i.e. part-time or full-time)
  4. Estimated Cost of Attendance (COA) at your intended school. Colleges and universities might use a similar method or a completely different one.

  The FAFSA becomes available every year on October 1st. Students must complete the FAFSA each year. We recommend filling it out as early as possible as some awards are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

Reporting an Absence

If you need to report a student's absence or early release, please call the attendance line at 715-796-5383 extension 1155.

If there is no answer, please leave a message.

Child Not Feeling Well...?

It is recommended that families please keep their child(ren) at home if someone in the household has symptoms and awaiting test results

District COVID Protocols and Information
