Busing Information in Harmony - As Soon As Possible!
SUPER IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR OUR EAGLES FAMILIES!
****If your child rides the bus, it is CRITICAL that registration is completed before August 1st.
SCSC will utilize the BUS INFO tab in your Harmony Family Access account to communicate transportation information, including assigned bus # 's, bus stop locations, and approximate times for pickup, drop-off, and transfers.
Transportation requests made by August 1st will ensure the availability of busing on the first day of school. Please select if your child will ride the bus in Harmony by indicating YES and selecting AM, PM, or both.
The SCSC transportation department plans to have bus routes updated in your child's Harmony account on August 1st. A follow-up notification will be sent once routes are finalized.
Student Transportation and Check In/Out Safety Process
If you plan to pick up your child from school each day you must have this years car rider tag in your vehicle. Car rider tags, will be available during back to school night. If you do not make it to back to school night, your car tag will be sent home with your child on the first day of school.
Adults will be responsible for signing in/out your child with the QR Code sent home at the start of the school year. The QR code will also be posted in the school lobby in the main entrance. This helps ensure accurate attendance for your child as well as keeping safety at the top for our students and staff! Thank you in advance.

Proper Dress Habits - DRESS CODE REMINDER
This is a friendly reminder about the dress code for the school year...
Shoes: No flip flops - must have an enclosed toe and a strap across your heel.
Shirts: Bare midsections, tube tops, tank tops, spaghetti straps, and baggy or alternative-style
dress is not permitted.
Shorts: Bicycle shorts or tight-fitting shorts may not be worn. The principal and staffβs guideline for
length is to have the student stand with their arms hanging limp at their sides. The shorts are
appropriate if they can touch the hem of their shorts without curling their fingers back toward their
wrist.
These policies are in place for the safety of our students. To see the handbook you can click on the Seymour Community Schools Icon

School attendance is very important
One of the key things for you to know is that you will need to call in every time your child is out of school. We do worry about the kids when they are not in school. Your child's absence will be marked as unexcused if the office does not receive a call, note, or email. If your child is out sick and visited the doctor, is late, or absent because of an appointment, please send in, email, or fax the doctor's note to the office so that we have the letter on file stating when the child can return. Plus, we can mark the absence accordingly. If a doctor's slip is not turned in, these will be marked as Parental Excused absences. Absences caused by family trips, vacations, and special circumstances require the submission of a Pre-arranged Absence Form before the absence. If a pre-arranged absence form is not filled out before the absence, these will be marked as Parental Excuse absences. If you have questions about the policy, please get in touch with me.
