^{CONFERENCE WEEK SCHEDULE OCT. 5- 9}

^{Next week students are on a minimum day schedule for Monday - Friday so teachers can meet with parents before school and from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. Teachers are scheduling conferences and reaching out to parents for some students. If you would like to schedule a conference with one of your child's teachers, reach out and send them an email. We are unable to meet with all students and parents during Conference Week.

^{HEALTH AND WELLNESS}

^{We hope you will check out our new SCSD Pandemic Care & Support website that specifically addresses resources for our school community during the Pandemic.

We've created a Parent Education Calendar and will keep that updated with new events. Note: we will be adding new events to this calendar regularly, so you may wish to link the calendar to your own.

The site also houses pages for Counseling & Mental Health where you will find links to make appointments with your school counselors, along with information such as the Green Folder which details an action plan to help during a mental health crisis. We added a page about Meals & Groceries just to make sure everyone knows how to order weekly meal boxes and get support from the PTA if you need groceries.

Finally, you'll find our newly-released guidelines for families about the process we are following if a student is ill. Each time those processes are revised, we will let you know.}
