Sand Creek Community Schools will be running its first drill with students and staff on our Lockout “Door Boot” system this morning. The drill will start in the elementary building at 9 a.m.; the drill at the 6-12 building will begin at approximately 10 a.m.
Good Evening Sand Creek parents and Staff. This is Steve Laundra, Superintendent of Schools, with an important school district announcement. Due to current COVID-19 staff shortages at our elementary school, the next three school days, including tomorrow, will be half-day mornings for our elementary F2F students. I repeat, tomorrow Thursday, January 27, Friday, January 28, and Monday February 1st will be half days in the morning for Ruth McGregor Elementary School students. School will be released at 11:45am on these three days. Bus transportation to and from school will be provided as it normally is on half-days. Virtual elementary students will continue on their normal schedules. These three half-day mornings are for the elementary school only. Elementary F2F students will not be required to attend school virtually on these afternoons. Our JH/HS F2F students are scheduled for full days on these three days. It is our sincere hope to back to full days at the elementary school beginning next Tuesday, February 2nd.
Sand Creek Schools will be closed today, Tuesday January 26th, due to the weather. Both Face to Face and Virtual classes are cancelled today
Please join the Sand Creek Board of Education for their monthly school board meeting at 6 p.m. via zoom.

ELEMENTARY FAMILIES:
For morning drop off: We ask that your child is ready to exit the vehicle with their belongings when they arrive to the front of the drop off line. Please keep your children in your vehicle until a staff member approaches your vehicle to help them get out. We ask that you remain in your lane for the entire drop off process. We will stop all lines when busses enter the driveway. We appreciate your help and patience during these times as we are trying to keep our students and staff as safe as possible.
For afternoon pick up, we ask that you post your child’s first and last name and teacher’s last name on the passenger side of your vehicle and proceed through the pickup line.
During the first couple of weeks in December, the Sand Creek Student Government held a money drive. All proceeds from this event went to Ms. Barb Sell. The Student Government sold paper bulbs in the shape of lights that were hung in the school lobby window on our “giving tree.” The Student Government wrote the names of the donors on the paper bulbs. They also held a tree lighting event and presented the money to Ms. Sell on December 19th. The following is the Thank You note from Ms. Sell for all the support:
Dear SCHS Student Government,
What a wonderful display of bucket filling with your fundraiser, ceremony, and kind words. You’re sure you didn’t rob the Sand Creek Natl. Bank to get that much money? I’ll use the donations to rebuild a combo house/storage unit/ meeting room in the same spot. Hope the pandemic stops affecting the building industry and stops affecting your schooling and sports. You are a great bunch of kids and I’ll be happy when you all succeed in S.C. and beyond. God bless all of you.
