Message from Principal Pekarek

September 25, 2020 

 

Dear SCE Families,

 

Throughout this first month of school, our teachers have been working diligently to assess their students to determine gaps in learning as well as identify areas where students are ready for greater challenge. They use these assessments to help them plan focused instructional activities to support continuous learning for all students. 

 

We are excited to have the opportunity to share the results from these assessments and provide updates around student progress in learning with parents during Parent-Teacher Conferences coming up on Tuesday, October 6th and Thursday, October 8th between 4:15-8:00 PM. Later today, you will be receiving a letter with more information about how you can schedule your parent conference with your student(s) teacher. Conferences will be 15 minutes each and will be conducted virtually this year using Google Meets. Our goal is to have 100% attendance from our parents during conferences, so we hope you can join us!

As many of you have read in the news, the USDA made the surprise announcement to reverse a prior decision and make ALL meals free to any kid 18 years of age and under until December 31, 2020 or when funding runs out. Effective immediately, students at all schools serviced by Nutrition Services will have access to healthy and FREE meals everyday. This will be in place for in person learners as well as eLearners and their siblings. Nutrition Services is ecstatic with the news and working quickly to be ready to handle the expected increase in volume for in person meals AND remote meal bags. No reimbursable meals will be charged to student accounts. Ala carte items will continue to be sold at all levels. Frequently Asked Questions
