After the first couple of weeks, the school year is off to a fantastic start! The students are working hard in the classrooms and we are ready for an exciting and productive year. We have begun the year in high gear and invite you to join us on Monday evening, September 13, for Curriculum Night. This is an opportunity for you to talk to your child’s teacher and find out what the students will be learning this year. Please remember that we have rescheduled Curriculum Night for September 13 for both primary and intermediate students. I hope to see you there!

I want to again thank all of our parents and volunteers for the outstanding support you provided for SCE last school year. This is the time of year when you will hear a lot about new opportunities to help us at the building. I hope that you will consider spending some time at school or at one of our activities in the near future. The staff and I truly appreciate it and it means a great deal to our students to see the how you support them throughout the year.

Finally, thank you for sending your children to SCE ready to learn! We plan to have a fabulous school year.

Going Green

We are always looking for ways to be environmentally responsible at Scottish Corners, so we are trying to go green/paperless with our monthly newsletter. Obviously, it will help us cut copying costs also. In this issue, you will find a form to complete and return to the building about accessing our newsletter electronically. We definitely want everyone to get the information that we include in our newsletters. Therefore, we want to know if you continue to need a paper copy. Please be sure to send your form back to school so that we can plan for effective communication. We want to inform you in advance and hope to initiate this system for our November newsletter.

Student Drop off/Pick up

Please help us in the morning and afternoon to keep our traffic flowing smoothly and maintain safety in front of the building for students. When you drop students off or pick them up, it really helps to pull as far forward as possible along the curb. This helps us to get more cars lined up so there is a shorter wait. Please only pick up or drop off students at the curb. There is also a yellow line painted on the sidewalk in front of the building. We are teaching students to stay behind that line when you pick them up until you are stopped and are ready for them to enter the car. Also, do not park on the drive in front of the building during the morning and afternoon bus times.
