To LCS parents and school communities—

As Americans living in the melting pot of the world, nearly all of us have a connection to the global community, as well as to past and current events happening around the world. These connections may cause us to feel strongly one way or the other with regard to global conflicts, such as the ones presently occurring in the Middle East, Ukraine, and elsewhere. Our students are witnessing the division on all sides, and of course have their own opinions and reflections.

Ms. Long, Swift Creek's Theatre and Dance teacher, recently passed away after her battle with cancer. Ms. Long was a phenomenal teacher who cared deeply for all of her students.

The district completed a briefing with Leon County Emergency Management and the National Weather Service. With the continued eastern shift of Ian's path, Leon County is no longer projected to receive tropical storm force winds and the amount of anticipated rain has been reduced. As a result of these conversations, Leon County schools and district offices will remain open for the remainder for the week for all in-class and afterschool activities. If your student will not be at school due to the storm, please communicate with the school in order to have those absences excused.

At this time, Leon County Schools will be open tomorrow, Wednesday, for regular school and afterschool activities. The district is closely monitoring the situation with local and state emergency management organizations and will provide updates if anything changes. I anticipate similar announcements around this time over the next couple of days. If your student will not be at school due to the storm, please communicate with the school in order to have those absences excused.

SCMS Families, please note there is an inaccurate article in the Tallahassee Democrat today regarding learning opportunities at all Leon County schools this summer. The article states that this opportunity is for all students. This is not accurate. The additional weeks of instruction over the summer are being provided to the students with the greatest gaps in their learning. This is an invitation only camp with first invitations going out to students who have scored a Level 1 on FSA 2021 in either or both ELA and math.

REMINDER - tomorrow is our ECG heart screenings for 6th graders whose parents have provided consent through Focus. 190 of our 6th grade students (out of our 230) have been GRANTED PERMISSION for this screening. If your child is one of the 190 PLEASE GO IN NOW and fill out the on-line questionnaire. The information/link is in the ListServ below that was sent out yesterday.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

In an effort to improve our schools, the Leon County School District is conducting a 2022 Spring Parent/Guardian Climate Survey. We value your opinion and ask that you please take the time to complete this survey based upon your experiences at your child’s school. If you have children at multiple school sites (example – one child in elementary school and one child in high school), we respectfully ask that you complete one survey for each school. If your children attend Ft. Braden or Woodville K – 8 School you only need to complete one survey.

SCMS Family, LCS is significantly short-staffed related to school bus drivers. Until the end of the school year we could continue to have days when routes will have to be consolidated. This will lead to buses leaving our campus much later than scheduled and students arriving to their drop-off points later than planned.

SCMS Family, Thank you so very much for your support of our recent Second Harvest food drive! SCMS donated 905 lbs. of food to meet the food shortage within our community!! We also want to thank those families that were able to take part in our Fall Family Night last Friday night! It was a WONDERFUL family and community time, sponsored by our own SCMS PTSO, and based on the positive feedback, an event that may become an annual occurrence!
