SCS Healthy Food Policy
Parents, just a reminder that students are provided with a free breakfast each morning. Items such as Starbucks, Dunkin, McDonald’s etc are not allowed. We are seeing more of this with our car riders in the mornings. Please make sure if you are providing this breakfast for your child, that they finish eating it before they enter the building.
Also, just a reminder that water bottles can ONLY have water. Please make sure that your child does NOT bring Gatorade, juice, soda, tea, etc in their water bottles. Thanks so much for your help with this! It is greatly appreciated.

We have wrapped up our Checkpoint 1 Ilearn Assessment. Teachers sent home the parent report on Friday. Please reach out to your child’s teacher with any questions. Below is a link for more information in regards to the assessment or results.
