The '22 SCS fall sports home season got under way last night with JV and varsity volleyball hosting Belding. The student section came out strong to support the RedHawks!
Next week, cross country and football will host home events. Come out and support our student athletes!
Reminder: Tomorrow is Smart Start from 9AM to 5PM at the JSH. All students are expected to attend at some point during that window. It takes most kids less than 30 minutes and it will help them by having their locker, photos, forms, and schedule taken care of. Thank you!
At this time, internet on campus has been restored. Thank you for your patience.
Saranac Community Schools is experiencing internet and phone issues at the moment. We believe this is the result of a power line that collapsed along David Hwy over the weekend.
We will keep you updated.
SCS is currently without internet and cell service. There is currently no ETA for restoration. JSH summer school is cancelled for today. Elementary programs will continue as scheduled. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Saranac Community Schools is excited, and sad at the same time, to announce the retirement of Teri Bergy effective June 30th.
Teri started at Saranac Community Schools in September of 1992. Teri started as a Bookkeeper in Central Office before moving to Superintendent's Secretary in 2000. The district has been fortunate to have Teri as part of the school family.
We will certainly miss her dedication and hard work each and every day. However, even more importantly her positive attitude, smile, and friendship will be deeply missed. Teri has represented the school district in such a positive way.
Please join us in congratulating Teri as she moves into retirement to spend time with her family. We wish her nothing but the best.
Please note...
