Sand Creek Community Schools will run on a 3-Hour Delay for students next Monday, October 5th in order to train all school district employees on our recently purchased and installed door boot security smart system. The Sunday Alert stated that we would be running on a two-hour delay, however for school transportation purposes, this morning we realized that we needed a 3 hour delay to make this work logistically. We will get this corrected with our parents.

According to the Governor’s Executive Order, attendance at athletic contests is limited to 2 spectators per participant. There can be no exceptions to this order. In order to allow the community to watch the games, we are planning to live stream the home events on Facebook at Sand Creek Athletics. Additionally, we cannot have spectators on school grounds who do not have a ticket to the contest. The only spectators allowed on campus are those with tickets to be inside the fence. Sand Creek Schools would appreciate it if you would spread the word about attending and watching online all Aggie home football games. For those individuals with tickets to the game, please remember to • Wear Your Mask at All Times • 6 feet Social Distancing • Sit at/Stand on the marked Blue Lines only • Eat only at your seat with social distancing • No re-entry to the event And finally, there will also be no re-entry to the game for any reason.

Also, it is very important that ALL virtual learners attend the Google Meets every Wednesday for every class. Furthermore, it is expected that the students attend the Google Meets on time according to the regular class schedule. Class Check in schedule is posted on the website under the Google Classroom link.
