Hello Power Campus!

The countdown is on for Fall Conferences and Fall Break!

Great news… Power Road construction looks complete and our normal driveline is back in action! Thank you parents and families for all the grace you have given us during this time, and let’s give a shout-out to Mr. Stucky and Mr. Ramos for helping us control traffic during that time.

Homecoming is on the horizon—the week after we get back from Fall Break, Oct. 9-13. This year’s theme is “Wild, Wild West” and all spirit days and homecoming dance(s) will be country and western  attire. Reminder that all dress code rules will remain in place for our Spirit Week dress-up days.

 

We will host a homecoming dance “Country Thunder” for both junior high and high school students on campus on Saturday, Oct. 14. The cost of homecoming dance tickets includes a full BBQ meal from a local food truck. It will be semi-formal attire for the Homecoming Dance, with a country flair. If your student is looking to bring a guest who does not attend our school, they must pick up a guest form from the front desk. All guest forms must be completed in full and turned into the STCS front office by Friday, Oct. 13. No guests will be allowed on campus without this form.

Fall Parent-Teacher Conferences

Next week on campus we will host parent-teacher conferences. These are organized in 90-minute blocks with the average conference time lasting 10 minutes. Please select the time block that is most convenient for your family and select the teachers you would like to conference with before selecting “submit”.

Families will meet in the student union during their scheduled time block and wait for their teacher(s) to come and meet them for their appointment. This format allows families to move through all conferences with the least amount of wait time.

When:   September 21 & 22
