SCS is keeping the health and safety of our staff and students at the forefront of our planning as we closely monitor new COVID-19 cases and potential exposures to the virus in our community. Unfortunately, in the last few weeks, we have seen an upward trend of coronavirus cases in Shelby County. Due to this increase in cases, Supt. Ray and our School Board agree that we will need to delay our gradual reopening of schools and return no earlier than the second semester, February 8. High-quality virtual instruction and meal services will continue. As we have seen throughout the pandemic, these are uncertain times and we will remain flexible around our reopening proposal. ⠀

Reimagining a return to school buildings has been a top priority since the release of our initial S.A.F.E. Re-Entry Plan this summer. The health and safety of our students and staff have been the primary considerations for reopening schools.

Under the current proposal, grades Pre-K - 5 and students with exceptional needs would return first in early January. Grades 6-12 would return in mid-January. We will continue to follow all health department protocols to ensure our buildings are safe for students and teachers to return.

Según la propuesta actual, los grados Pre-K - 5 y los estudiantes con necesidades excepcionales regresarían primero a principios de enero. Los grados 6-12 regresarían a mediados de enero.

*IMPORTANT UPDATE*

As we prepare for a return to in-person learning, we're asking parents to submit a student learning option for the remainder of the year October 21-30 on Powerschool.

Parents may choose in-person or virtual learning for their child for the remainder of the year.

Only parents who did not submit a learning option this summer or wish to change their original choice should submit an option. ***Please do not resubmit if your choice has not changed.***

Students who do not have a learning option selected
by October 30 will be automatically enrolled in the in-person option for the remainder of the school year.

We are planning for a phased return to in-person learning beginning with grades Pre-K - 5 and students with exceptional needs in early January. Grades 6-12 would follow later in mid-January.
