Help spread the word- early online registration & Pre-K applications for 2020-21 are now open!
We are still working diligently to address some questions regarding the current school year, but we think it's important to allow families to get a head start on planning for the year ahead as well. Families of new SCS students typically have to start the registration process in person to get their required PowerSchool account. However, due to current circumstances, families can now start the process by emailing
iChoose@scsk12.org
. Returning students only have to verify and update their personal info, such as contact info, student health info and parental consent. Also, for the first time ever, Pre-K applications are totally online. All registration details can be found
HERE
, and the Pre-K application process can be found

Microsoft Teams is the most popular - and supported - way for SCS staff to connect remotely!
Working remotely is new for a lot of us, but it doesn't have to be hard. Our Office 365 suite includes an awesome virtual meeting platform, called Microsoft Teams, that allows colleagues to stay connected and be just as productive and collaborative as they would be in person. You can connect from any device with internet access, share screens, chat and post resources during meetings and more. There's even an app. Since it's part of our SCS 365 platform, it's supported internally as well!
