It is with regret that I inform you that I have postponed our commencement exercise again, this time to the weekend of July 25-26. This decision is based on the current executive orders and the survey results I received from you last week. I am scheduling a Senior and Senior Parent Zoom meeting for next Thursday, July 9th at 6pm to share out the survey results and to discuss our plan moving forward. If the governor moves our region from Phase #4 to Phase #5, I’m confident we’ll be able to get what we want, but until then, we remain on hold with our HS commencement exercise. The Senior Zoom meeting login information will be posted to our school website by 5:30pm next Thursday.

Textbook Returns Parents can return textbooks and school property (calculators etc.) during summer office hours which are Tuesday – Thursday 9 am – 2 pm. Parents will receive their student’s report card and potentially academic awards at that time. Textbooks and school property not returned to the school will be added to student fines.

Reminder: There will be no meal pick up tomorow Tuesday, June 30th. The summer program will resume on Tuesday, July 7 and continue through Tuesday, August 11. If you no longer need meals or would like to get registered contact Darlene McMunn at Darlene.mcmunn@sc-aggies.us.

In celebration of an unusual graduation year the senior class advisor's delivered yard signs to our 45 graduating seniors on Friday.

Good morning Sand Creek Class of 2020 seniors. This is Mr. Laundra. If you’re not aware, I am hosting a 4pm senior class zoom meeting this afternoon from 4-5pm to update you on where we’re at, and where we’re heading in the next 4-5 weeks. This meeting is NOT mandatory. After updating you on what I can, I plan to spend the remainder of our zoom time taking your feedback and answering as many questions as I can. Your feedback will help our school district make the decisions that need to be made in the best interest of the Class of 2020 and their parents. Mr. Peacock has sent out zoom invitations for this afternoon’s meeting through your school assigned email addresses. We will also be posting this afternoon’s zoom meeting login information to our school website at 3:30pm. I have also invited your class advisors and a few key teachers of seniors to zoom with us this afternoon. In addition to today’s meeting, I plan to schedule a Sand Creek senior parent meeting for next Tuesday evening to basically do the same thing we’ll be doing this afternoon. I am anxious to listen to your thoughts this afternoon. In the meantime, stay safe and stay up. Together, we’re going to make the best of what we have to work with, because we deserve the best. Rock on.
