In regards to PIAA paperwork for WINTER ATHLETES-
Parents of fall athletes:
In the Healthy Roster app, under the “documents” tab, please complete the form titled “CIPPE Section 7 Recertification”. You will find this in the drop down tab after selecting the “+” in the top right corner. You do NOT need to enter insurance info.
Parents of winter athletes:
If you have not already received access to Healthy Roster, please email Alexcis at aconingsby@scasd.us with your child’s NAME, DOB, GRADE and the sport they are playing. I need this email in order to add you as a parent on their profile. I will then send you a link and code (via Healthy Roster domain) that will give you access. Once connected, there are 6 forms that will need to be completed in order for your child to start practicing. Section 6 is the PIAA physical, that must be completed by a doctor or PA. If your child received a yearly physical after May 1, 2024, contact their PCP and ask for a copy to be faxed to the school (570-356-2835). Convenient Care also allows walk-ins for sports physicals. They do not need to be on the PIAA form, as long as somewhere on the physical it states that the child is cleared to participate in sports.
Any questions, you can email Alexcis (aconingsby@scasd.us) or message her via Healthy Roster.

Mr. Mensch's 9th Grade Honors English students took a break from reading Fahrenheit 451 to serve as listening buddies in some 3rd and 4th Grade classrooms yesterday morning. This experience is part of an MTSS initiative in the elementary school. The younger students are working on skills such as word reading, fluency, and comprehension. The best way to accomplish these goals is to read aloud as much as possible to anyone who is willing to patiently listen. The 3rd and 4th Graders found some Freshmen who were all ears! 📖
Dr. Cindy Reck recently treated 7th Grade Science students to a fun lesson on food chemistry! Students learned about emulsions by making and tasting their own vinaigrette dressing!
Mrs. Toczylousky's and Mrs. Coombe's 5th Grade classes helped Second Grade with their Pumpkinology activities last week. 🎃

Students in Mrs. Spotts' Third Grade class participated in a cross curricular activity yesterday. In spooky season spirit, students collected data from various high school classrooms regarding students' favorite Halloween candy. Third Graders used both mathematics and scientific analysis to create bar graphs and pictographs to display the results of their data collection. 🎃➕🍫

Congratulations to the Art Club members who took first place in a region-wide Halloween Window Painting Contest! Our Art Club window painters received the highest overall average score per window, earning a cash prize.
Southern Columbia's Physical Education classes have been busy in October. Physical activity not only strengthens your heart, but also your brain! It improves blood flow to the brain which in turn increases cognitive function. The brain lights up after exercise, causing your thinking, learning, and attention span to zero in and gear up for success! Here are some fun action snapshots from our classes.
Please join us for Trunk or Treat on Wednesday, October 30, from 6:00 - 7:30 pm in the Southern Columbia High School parking lot. This free event is presented to the community by the Southern Columbia High School Student Council. We hope to see you there! 👻🦇🎃
We will be having a High School Halloween Spirit Week starting on Monday, October 28th. Please see the attached graphic for more information! 🎃🦇
Congratulations to Haley Conner for placing 3rd in the PIAA District 4 Championships!!! Haley qualified to run at the PIAA State Championships in Hershey next weekend! 🖤💛
