Just a reminder #SCCSD families: there will be no school tomorrow, November 5 for staff professional development.
#SCCSD families, your student's attendance in school matters! Chronic absenteeism is not just a matter of missed days; it's a barrier to success. If your child will not be in school, it's incredibly important to call your child’s school to report the reason for an absence. This information will be used to help your child's school determine the level of support your student needs to succeed.
We encourage families to familiarize themselves with the new chronic absenteeism laws and policies in place. Students are considered absent when they are not in school, including time missed for general illnesses, doctor’s appointments, club sports, and family vacations. We want your child to be successful. While rare exceptions can occur, missing nine or more days in a semester is atypical. Absences for participation in school-sanctioned events do not count toward chronic absenteeism. For questions related to absences, please contact your child's school.
We're committed to being a partner in your child's success and celebrate them for being in class, on time, every day!
We want to remind our families that we take every threat seriously, and each threat is investigated. Students should always report any threat they see or hear, not share or repost threats of any kind.
Reposting or sharing a threat could lead to disciplinary actions at the school level and possibly criminal charges.
How to report a threat:
▶️ Contact your school principals/administrators with safety concerns, no matter how small
▶️ After hours when you are unable to reach a principal, call police directly
▶️ Call 911 in an emergency or for a crime in progress
▶️ Send information to Safe and Sound Iowa, a threat reporting tool for the state of Iowa
With help from our community and families, we can keep school safe for all students.
⚠️Attention Families⚠️
The #SCCSD is currently experiencing issues with incoming calls. If you need to contact your child's school, please email your child's principal here: https://bit.ly/our-buildings. Our team is working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

Does your student need bus transportation for the upcoming school year?
Fill out this form: https://tinyurl.com/ycx4cxt3
Elementary and middle school students who live over two miles and high school students living over three miles from their assigned boundary school are eligible for bus transportation. Families may also request paid busing if space is available on an existing route.
To request busing, please complete the Transportation Request Form. You must complete the form every year to request transportation for the upcoming school year.
For enhanced safety, new technology is available on district buses which will allow you to track your student riding the bus in real-time. Students are required to scan new bus passes when entering or exiting the bus. Your student’s bus pass will be printed once we have received and approved your completed Transportation Request Form. Passes will be given to K-12 students during Back to School Night on August 20 and during laptop checkout for middle and high school students before the school year begins.
Please contact the Transportation Department at 712-279-6743 with questions.
Due to the flood conditions in Riverside, our summer meal program will not be serving lunch at the Riverside Pool location today. We hope to resume the lunch service at Riverside Pool beginning Wednesday (6/26)
Important reminder to all #SCCSD families-
Beginning this coming school year, all schools will dismiss two hours early every *Friday* for staff professional development. This is in place of the previous early out on Mondays.
Iowa law requires students to have certain immunizations, vision screenings, and dental screenings before starting school in the fall.
