Accreditation News:

It is with great pleasure that I can announce to you that the ACCS Accreditation Team has recommended that we be fully Accredited!  Only about half of all the schools that attempt Accreditation are successful, and only about 20% are fully Accredited (about 30% receive a Provisional Accreditation). 

This is a great honor and is a tribute to all of the hard work done by the faculty and staff, as well as the parents and students. Special thanks is due to Mrs. Carol Pizzi.  She started this process three years ago and led the Accreditation effort all the way. However, let us ultimately be grateful and thankful to the Lord who has blessed us again this day!

Very Proudly,
Dr. Alan Marshall
Head of School

Teacher Development


This is just a friendly reminder that this week is SCCS Teacher Appreciation week! God has blessed SCCS with so many talented teachers who give of themselves selflessly to love and educate our children.  
Proverbs 22:6  "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it."  Let's work together to make it a special week for all of our wonderful teachers!

Your class PA reps should be communicating with you if there are daily class celebrations planned, and/or, you may feel free to express your individual love and gratitude each day through cards, notes of thanks, etc. Please remember that the Teacher Favorites lists are available on RenWeb in the Resource Documents section.  The PA will provide $10 gift cards for each teacher from Swank Coffee to be distributed this Friday at their special Teacher Luncheon. 

Thank you in advance for making Teacher Appreciation Week a fun and well deserved treat for all of our great teachers at SCCS! 

Blessings,

Danielle Dana
SCCS PA President
