Hello Scott Families,


I am grateful and excited to be back this fall as the Principal at Scott Elementary. Our teachers have been busy this week, with training, setting up classrooms, and planning for another fantastic year. We cannot wait to fill these halls with students soon!


Please join us for our open house on Monday evening, we have a few new teachers and staff who are eager to meet you. Thank you for trusting us with your students, I am looking forward to reconnecting and meeting our new Wolves joining the pack this year. As the year progresses please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. We look forward to partnering with you and celebrating your student's successes.

I am sure many of you, like me, have been eagerly checking on the crates of new playground equipment each morning hoping to see the new slides and structure move onto our playground. Unfortunately, the team that is installing those for us had essential equipment stolen from them overnight at another site. This will delay our installation. We will keep you posted, but sadly, our first recess with the new playground will be after our first day of school.
Our Back To School night is Monday, August 14th from 5:00-6:30. From 5:00-6:00 families are encouraged to visit classrooms, drop off school supplies and meet classroom teachers. From 6:00-6:30 we will celebrate the new school year with our annual tradition - Popsicles on the Plaza! We can not wait to see you!

Breakfast


Breakfast – Breakfast is provided before school. Students may enter the cafeteria by the West entrance beginning at 7:20. If you choose to access our breakfast service, plan to arrive early enough to allow time for your child to finish breakfast before 7:40. Students will not be eating breakfast in the classroom. Students will be dismissed to line up outdoors with their classmates at 7:40.

Before and After School Supervision


Morning supervision begins at 7:35 AM. Please do not plan to drop your students off before this time, unless they are eating breakfast in the cafeteria. At 7:35 students may begin lining up at their assigned classroom spot. All teachers will be outside on the first day of school with signs! After school we provide supervision until 3:05. Please plan to pick up your students before this time. We do ask that the playgrounds remain closed after school. This helps us quickly identify students who need assistance connecting with parents. The park next door is a beautiful place to spend time with your students after school if you wish to enjoy time together after school.

PTA

PTA is welcoming new members. Our first meeting of the year will be held on September 21st from 3:15-4:15! We'd love to have you join this team of parents and teachers to support our students at Scott. You may sign up and pay fees with this link: http://verascottpta.memberhub.com
