June Updates
Dear Families,

Summer is almost here... the last day of school in the SCSD is Thursday, June 25th and will be a HALF DAY for students! We hope all of our students and families enjoy a fulfilling summer break. If you haven't already, be sure to check out our summer learning opportunities - it's not too late to enroll your child.

Of course, we have a few full weeks of learning before then. Please be reminded that schools will be closed on Friday, June 19th in observance of Juneteenth.

Summertime is the best time to get your child's physical completed and immunizations updated. Call your family's primary care provider to set up an appointment.

We will take the summer off from our e-newsletters - but stay tuned for a back-to-school issue which will be sent prior to the first day of school in September!
