Price's Write

To be intentional means to act on purpose. Being kind is the most important intention we can have—for ourselves and for others. When we begin our day with a thought or action that is intentional about what we hope for the day ahead, being kind should be at the top of the list. A smile or a nod to let another know you see them, a word or greeting to say that you care, or an act that helps someone, even when they don’t ask are the most simple and intentional ways to be kind. Gryphons, be kind to yourself and others…on purpose!

Wednesday, August 18 is a teacher workday and there will be no school for students. Please mark your calendars for this date now. 

Also mark your calendars for our Virtual Curriculum Night and General PTSA Meeting at 6:00 p.m. August 25. 

We need you to join the SCS PTSA!!! 

https://thescsptsa.com/membership/

Ms. Settle will begin her individual meetings with Seniors August 4. Parents, please have discussions with your students about their meeting and contact Ms. Settle if you have any questions. 

Jostens will visit SCS August 31 at 9:00 a.m. to give Seniors information about cap & gown orders. 

Remember that students must wear masks at all times, except while eating lunch or socially distanced outside.  Students may ask for permission to use the mask break stations throughout the day. We encourage students to bring reusable water bottles to refill at the water fountains.  We are still socially distancing as much as possible. Please help us remind your children to follow the classroom and hallway procedures. Let’s keep each other safe. 

The DPS returning student registration portal is now open and ready for use. If you have a student who was in a DPS school last year, you will use the returning student registration portal to complete your child’s registration process for the 21-22 school year. There will be no paper registration packets. You may complete the registration process by going through your Parent Portal account, or, if you do not have a Parent Portal account, with a unique snapcode you can obtain via the email sent on 7/20/2021 to the address we have on file. If you do not have a parent portal account and did not receive an email with your unique snapcode, please contact the school directly at 919-560-3535 for assistance. Please note that the registration process CANNOT be completed using the PowerSchool mobile app. You must complete the process using the browser on your phone or computer. Please have this process completed by August 30.  Contact Ms. Fleming  for further assistance or questions regarding the return student registration portal.

If you still need to find your child’s bus information please use the Here’s the Bus App. The link is located on the DPS website. You will need your child’s PowerSchool ID number. You may contact Dr. Dixon, assistant principal, if you need assistance with your bus. We know that the app is not always updated in the afternoons with arrival times, so we will notify if a bus leaves SCS late via Facebook and Twitter posts. 

Always check our website, my blog—Price’s Write, our Facebook page, and Twitter for frequent updates about what’s going on at SCS. 

Have a great evening from everyone at SCS where we practice the 4C’s–Creativity, Communication, Collaboration, and Community.
