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!
The Class of 2027 hosted a "Tape the Principal to the Wall" at Friday's Pep Rally. Thank you to the Principals and everyone who participated. The class raised $454 towards Prom 2026!

Today the Southern Columbia Area School District observed Suicide Prevention Month by having middle and high school students sign a pledge to raise awareness for suicide prevention during lunches. Staff and students throughout the entire district were asked to wear teal and purple in support, as well as suicide prevention t-shirts designed by the Student Support team. As a district, we were able to raise over $1300 to be donated to the SCASD SAVE Club. Resources were available to students in need.
