Dear SCS Parents,

The 7th grade has officially taken leadership of our school. We celebrated a beautiful Leadership Mass where the 8th graders turned over leadership of the school, and the 7th grade presented the new spiritual theme for next year. "My youth will be the best shield for the Eucharist." - St. Tarcisius We look forward to continuing the Eucharistic revival next year as our students encourage each other to actively live their faith daily.

We have put together a video from Siena Day - enjoy! Siena Day 2023

Graduation Mass is next week on Thursday at 9:00. Please join us if you are able. We are excited to send our 8th graders out to set the world ablaze!

Our principal for the day did an amazing job and gave us all an out-of-uniform for tomorrow!

God Bless,

Kelly Wood

Third grade is doing an archeological cookie dig to use artifacts to learn about past cultures. 

Thank you for keeping your child home and allowing them to rest while they are sick. Please keep in mind the following symptoms and observe your child for them.

Symptoms of transmissible illnesses include:

• Fever (100 degrees F) or chills
• Cough
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Fatigue
• Muscle or body aches
• Headache
• New loss of taste or smell
• Sore throat
• Congestion or runny nose
• Nausea or vomiting
• Diarrhea

If your child has more than one symptom of illness, is vomiting,  and/or fever present, one of the following criteria must be met before returning to school:

o  If there is no history of exposure to COVID-19, your child must be fever free (under 100 degrees) for 48hrs AND symptom-free before returning.  If vomiting is present, please allow 24 hours to pass without vomiting before returning to school.  

OR

o  If COVID-19 is likely (possible exposure to COVID-19 or multiple symptoms present) we recommend testing for COVID-19 so we can make the best decision on when the student should return. 

·        If COVID-19 test is positive, the Archdiocese requires that the student remain at home for 5 days from the start of their symptoms. If on the 6^th day they have been fever free for 48 hours and their symptoms have greatly improved, they may return to school but must wear a mask until day 10 in order to avoid transmission to others.

*Please check with your child’s teacher for missed assignments.

Thank you so much for your patience and cooperation. Feel free to reach out with questions at [email protected].
