STCS Travel Program Info Night
When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and we would love to have your student join us on this adventure.

Lost and Found
Please label your children’s water bottles, lunch boxes, and other items with their names in a clear spot. Every Wednesday, we go through the lost and found and if the items are labeled, we return it to the student. If the items do not have names on them, we donate them to a shelter.
