Athletic schedule for the week:
The Sand Creek Student Government volunteered at the Salvation Army last week sorting donations from the Toys for Tots campaign. They worked to organize and create a “toy shop” where families in need can shop for their children this holiday season. They did a great job representing what it means to have 1SC values!
Sand Creek Schools went into a Secure Mode this morning due to a medical issue. The LockDown Boot was accidentally pulled at that time. Everyone is safe and healthy and we are operating normally.
The 6th grade class is hosting a Winter Clothing Drive now through Wednesday, December 20th.
The School of Choice window for second semester is open NOW through Friday, December 22, 2023. Call our offices to set up a tour or to shadow a Sand Creek student for a day!
A yearbook makes an awesome Christmas gift!
The Federal Government has announced the FAFSA is expected to be released December 30th. The Aggie Academic Career and Counseling Center, in partnership with Jackson College, is hosting a FAFSA workshop on January 10, 2024 starting at 5:30pm in the Sand Creek High School library. Your student will want to bring their school issued Chromebook to ensure access to the internet. Please view the Aggie Academic and Career Counseling Webpage Newsletter for information on FSA ID and other documentation that you will need to bring to the event. Regardless of post-secondary plans, it is recommended that every graduating senior complete the FAFSA.

Dominic Borton, a fifth grade student, won the PBIS ticket drawing and received a ride in the combine. Junior Jonathan Fisher and Transportation Supervisor Chris Ondrovick also rode along to learn about the technology in the combine. Thank you to Hillard Family Farms and Raymond and Anna Simpkins.

Yesterday the Sand Creek FFA and Agriscience Program kicked off their "Ag for Everyone" series with Dr. Eliza Simpkins, proud Aggie Alum! She presented to FFA and non-FFA students about how she became a veterinarian, the education needed to become a veterinarian, and what to look for in picking a college. Eliza also talked about the importance of participating in a variety of activities and encouraged students to participate in activities and join clubs that interest them. She brought her vet truck into the school barn for students to see the tools she uses. Pictured below is Lila, one of the school bunnies getting an ultrasound.
Stay tuned for Dr. Simpkins return visits and for more agricultural professionals to come as well.
A huge thank you to Eliza for taking time out of your busy day; you made many people’s day in doing so!
Sand Creek Community Schools district goal is to "Improve Student Academics and Behavior through the Implementation of the MTSS Framework and through a Whole Child/Whole School/Whole Community approach".
A critical piece of this goal is the Culture and Climate of the school and district. We will be taking a Culture and Climate voluntary survey from parents, students and staff twice a year.
Please take a few minutes to provide your feedback on the Family School Climate Survey. You can also find the link to this survey on the homepage of the school website. Your feedback is crucial as we look to continually improve.
