SCS Community: We have been incredibly blessed with a tremendous amount of support from our community and neighboring communities. Counseling support offers have been pouring in from area schools and counseling providers along with food and drink donations from our local businesses.
Parents, thank you for your flexibility and support; we couldn't get through days like today without you. There were a lot of decisions to be made over the weekend and a lot of unknowns at the time. We graciously appreciate that you supported us with making sure the needs of our students were put first.
Your SCS Administration and Staff are honored to work in this community and serve your students.
