Hello Eagle Nation!
At our PTO meeting on Tuesday we learned that Boxtops has updated their procedure to get our schools some extra dollars...and it's easier for parents AND for US! :)
~Go to this link: boxtops4education.com
~Set up your account
~Download the app on your phone
~Scan receipts...
DONE!
There will still be a few Boxtops left on merchandise, but they are no longer printing them on the boxes and packages. Parents can still send in the ones they find, but encourage, encourage, encourage...them to do the step previously mentioned and start getting our school some extra dollars.
Happy Scanning!!

Tomorrow is our first "Delayed Start" of the school year.
If you're new to Schoolcraft or unaware of our "Delayed Starts" we're happy to explain them to you:
Delayed starts allow our students to arrive for a 8:45 am start* which provides our teachers time to collaborate professionally to make informed instructional plans for every student in all three of our building together. The staff of SCS arrive at 7:15 on delayed start Thursdays and work for 90 minutes as teams in "Professional Learning Communities". This is a powerful time for our staff that ensures that every student's instructional needs are being individually planned for by a group of dedicated Eagle Educators!
*Students can arrive at their normal arrival time on delayed starts and participate in activities in each respective school OR can arrive "delayed" between 8:30-8:45 and still be considered on time (not tardy).
Whether arriving at a "normal" time or "delayed" tomorrow, we look forward to educating your Eagle!
Questions? Email your teacher or contact your school office.

Early this afternoon, a four-jurisdiction effort, led by the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Department, had drug-sniffing dogs conduct scan of all instructional areas, restrooms and lockers, at Schoolcraft High School. During the scan, all high school students, on campus at the time, were supervised in the gymnasium by school personnel. The scan took about 45 minutes.
Any locations, or items, identified by the dogs as suspicious, were verified as suspicious by a separate dog, then searched by the administration and local authorities. Special care was used to assure compliance with Board Policy 5771: Search and Seizure: Use of Dogs.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Seager at 488-7360.
