Now that we are one month into the school year, it is important to review information that will impact and enhance student performance, ranging from safety to tutoring support options, as well as plan for the future, such as family conferences and scholarship opportunities.

1. Students in grades 9/10 must stay on campus during lunches
2. Meal delivery services are not permitted as we are not familiar with who delivery people may be
3. If a student in grades 11/12 is late three times back to campus following lunch, off campus privileges could be revoked
4. All visitors and students must check in at the front kiosk; we may not open or permit others to enter through other doors of our school
5. Any student filming an altercation may earn a suspension--we do not encourage or share violent or negative situations
6. If misbehavior occurs off campus that affects our school, a student may earn a consequence

The Student Success team created a site to compile scholarship and financial aid applications and information for graduating seniors as well as pre-collegiate programs for all other classes. This site will updated throughout the school year as more opportunities arise. Check it out!

18-19 Sept, 4:00-7:30 pm

Teachers will be available by both appointment and walk in meetings

Stay tuned for specialized communication the week of 9 Sept to learn more information about scheduling and tips for meaningful performance conversations

Brooke Jenkinson was recognized by another staff member, who had this to say about her:

• Ms. Jenkinson creates a safe learning environment where students lead the charge in their learning journey and have multiple entry points for students at various levels of proficiency. Students are immersed in a language-rich classroom and are able to clearly articulate their learning using appropriate academic language. Ms. Jenkinson facilitates strategies and techniques for artists in her classroom while leaving space for choice and individual autonomy. The learning progression students experience in her classroom are structured in a manner that all students can succeed despite their starting point. Ms. Jenkinson is a model example of how Sand Creek Scorpions encourage one another to be the best versions of ourselves!

A peer asked to recognize the entire SCHS English department!

• They work above and beyond their duties. If there is a problem everyone joins in to find a solution. They are very connected not only by work but also by personal interactions. They are a joy to work with and I will miss them when I retire next year.

Join us for School Accountability Meetings to learn about what is happening at SCHS and make decisions on behalf of our community!

Senior Photo Deadlines

Late Deadline: 3pm on Friday 11 October 2024 with a $25 late fee included with the submission (paid by the senior); no senior portraits will be accepted after 11 October 2024.

Students without a photo by the dates above will still have a photo included from yearly photos in school.

We strive to achieve a consistent look among all senior photos. All photography must meet the following yearbook requirements:

How Do I Submit Senior Photos?

Please label your digital photo lastname.firstname and submit the digital photo to: jennifer.jesse@d49.org

• Drop off a Flash Drive at the school with the picture on it. Please do not include multiple photos of the same student on a disk. Label the disk with the student’s name (ex. Smith,William.jpg)
• We prefer not to use printed pictures that need to be scanned; however, if you have no other option, please provide a print that is free from scratches, fingerprints, and dust
• Once a photo is submitted, please have the student come by Rm. 150 to make sure photos have been received

Yearbooks will be available to purchase for $65.00 at registration and online at www.jostens.com.Order now! Prices increase with time. The yearbook will not go over $75.00. Orders are due by 1 March 2025.
