Good evening, Sand Creek Families;
As I am sure most of you are aware, Governor Whitmer held a press conference earlier this evening outlining the new requirements from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. As part of these orders, all Michigan High Schools are required to move to remote learning for a period of three weeks beginning Wednesday, November 18, 2020 at 12:01 a.m. Sand Creek High School will hold face-to-face instruction on Monday (November 16th) and Tuesday (November 17th) as scheduled. Additionally, the district has received notification from the MHSAA that all middle school and high school sports have been suspended effective immediately. The MHSAA notification included all games and practices until at least December 8, 2020. At this time, K-8 students are still able to continue face-to-face instruction.
The Sand Creek School District Administration team will be meeting tomorrow morning to finalize a detailed plan moving forward through the next three weeks. Once this plan is complete, we will share it out to all stakeholders.
We appreciate your understanding as we work through this newly acquired information.
Steve Laundra
Superintendent

Ruth McGregor Elementary staff and students donated $574.64 to the WLEN Thank A Vet program.
Ms. Papenhagen's fourth grade students have created their own instruments for a science project. They are currently learning about all the different forms of energy, including sound energy, so they came up with their own new ways of making sounds waves. Our music teacher, Miss Morris, even conducted them all during music class for a mini symphony!
Thank you Veterans.
