The 2025 Senior class organized a Senior Sunrise this morning! They met at the football field and ate pancakes, bacon, and doughnuts while they watched the sun rise. It was a great opportunity for the Seniors to get together and celebrate their last year of high school! In the spring, they are going to hold a Senior Sunset to symbolize their Senior year coming to a close. 🎓☀️🌇

Students are not permitted to carry their own medication. If your child requires medication while in school, prescription or Over-the Counter, a medication order from a physician is required and the parent must bring it into school and give it directly to the Nurse with completion of a Medication Receipt (provided by the nurse). Students are only permitted to self-carry an inhaler and/or Epi-pen with a physician's order. Students are permitted to carry their own cough drops if needed. Thank you!
A brief message from the Food Service Department: Reminder to families in the district regarding Milk sales. If a student desires to purchase an individual Milk, they must have a positive balance in their school lunch account. The reason for this is that individual Milk sales do not fall under the Free and Reduced pricing structure. Milk is included in the meal cost, but only as a component of a complete meal. The cost for each milk sold separately is $0.50. We will not turn a student away from obtaining a milk, as it is vital to growth and development. They are, however, subject to a la carte pricing. If you have questions or need more information, please contact me, John Rosselli, at 570-356-3457 or email me at jrosselli@scasd.us. Thank you!
