Join us in celebrating our extraordinary teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week, May 6-10! This year's theme, "Wonka," honors them as the Golden Tickets to Knowledge!


Let's show our gratitude for their role as dreamers, innovators, and guides who unlock the gates to a world of learning. Whether it's crafting candy-themed notes, baking treats, or simply expressing thanks, let's make every teacher feel like a kid in a candy shop.


Email your teacher shoutouts and pictures to communications@scsk12.org for possible highlights during Teacher Appreciation Week.

Per state law, third-grade students who do not make a passing ELA TCAP score could be required to attend additional intervention or be retained.


Impacted fourth-grade students who do not show adequate growth on the ELA portion of the TCAP could be retained with no additional intervention possible.


We've included updates online, and we will communicate directly with families about promotion pathways, etc.
