Opt-In to COVID Testing

The start of the school year feels AMAZINGLY exciting. We're all so grateful to be together again, in the school building. 

One of the ways we can keep our school community safe is to OPT-IN to COVID-19 testing. 

Please, be sure to fill out this form to do so.

Thank You to Our Newest Volunteers

It is with much delight and gratitude that we introduce several new volunteers:

Birgit Berg is taking over for Ryan Parker as SCES PTA listserv moderator. Thank you so much, Ryan, for your diligence in keeping the information flowing for the past few years, and to Birgit for taking over in this important role. 

Helen Rubeiz plans to revive our long-dormant Instagram account. Thanks, Helen, for sharing images of our smiling salamanders (with permission of course) and other fun content relevant to SCES. Anyone want to tackle Twitter? Let me know! communications@scespta.org.

Tracie Siddiqui and Katie Ryan are teaming up to co-lead the Teacher Appreciation Committee this year. HOORAY! Our staff is so fortunate to have you and so are we.

Thanks to each of you for making this school community so special.

Interested in contributing your energy, time, and talent to our school? Attend the virtual PTA meeting on Thursday, and visit us at the Back to School Party on Friday! We can't wait to meet you.
