The PTA is partnering with Young Scholars this year as they offer a staff person to assist with getting students to the right place after school. 

Feel free to send questions to afterschool@scespta.org.

Stock the Staff Lounge

The staff appreciation committee will stock the staff lounge every Monday.  Sign-up for slots of your choosing on the SignUp Genius. Items can be dropped off or mailed Claire Darby's house. Please message her for her address. (Facebook messenger, or cell/email contact is available on the SignupGenius.)

You can also order off our Amazon wish list and have items sent to her house if that's easier. Please still sign up on the sign up genius as well so others can see what is covered!

Extra School Supplies

If you overbought on school supplies or happen to have extras, our PTA stash for the counselors is looking a little sparse. We can use notebooks, folders, pens and pencils, glue sticks, markers, crayons, colored pencils, highlighters and rulers. Feel free to bring them to the main office and they will be accepted for use by students who need them.
