This afternoon, JSH administration was made aware of threatening comments made by a student in a classroom. Administration quickly responded, initiating the SCS threat-assessment protocols, involving parents, and contacting law enforcement. It was determined that there was no immediate threat.
SCS will continue to work with outside agencies, follow our handbook policies and protocols and address this matter to ensure students and staff remain safe in our building.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and support.

A HUGE day for the Saranac JSHS Drama Department! We spent yesterday afternoon with the incomparable Julia Murney!
As our cast begins rehearsals for Between the Lines Jr., who better to learn from than the woman who originated the roles of Grace and Queen Maureen in the original New York production? She also happens to be a Broadway legend who wore the green as the fifth Elphaba in Wicked.
Julia shared the 'hard truths' about the industry, the importance of a locked-in ensemble, and what it really takes to bring these characters to life. We are officially ready to get to work. Huge thanks to Julia Murney for being so generous with her time and wisdom!
