SFCS Makes Important Changes
In Parent/Teacher Communications System
ALL SCHOOL NEWS
Friday, September 3, 2004
To insure the most effective means of teachers
and parents communicating, “Schoolnotes.com” will
be utilized to post announcements to SFCS students
and parents. Through this method, parents of Upper
and Middle School students will also have a direct
link to teachers email that will take the place of
voice mail. To contact a teacher, please go to the
SFCS website www.shannonforest.com and click on the
item “Staff” under “Contact Us” in
the main menu bar. Here, you will find a link to “Schoolnotes.com.” After
typing in the school zip code (29615), you will find
SFCS teachers’ names listed in alphabetical order.
Parents needing to contact any Lower School teacher,
in PK through the 5th Grade, may still use the voice
mail system, however if parents need to follow-up on
any homework information, they must utilize www.schoolnotes.com.
Messages called in to the school offices will be written
down and put in the teachers’ boxes. Teachers
generally check their boxes in the mornings and the
afternoons.
Remember Patriot Day
September 11, 2001, is a date
that will be forever remembered because of the bombings
of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the crash
of Flight 93. The people of our nation were stunned
and enraged by the tragedy, then determined to punish
those responsible. In all, approximately 3,000 people
lost their lives. Most were Americans, but people
from about 60 other countries also perished. In memory
of
those who died, and the heroes who tried to save
them, President George W. Bush has designated Sunday,
September
11, as Patriot Day. The observance was signed into
public record on December 18, 2001. Flags at public
buildings and businesses will fly at half-staff on
that day and people are urged to observe a moment
of silence. On September 11, we also remember the survivors
of the attacks and those who lost family members,
friends
and co-workers. Newly Printed SFCS T-Shirts Are Here!
The newly printed SFCS t-shirts have arrived to replace
those shirts that were printed incorrectly. Lower
School shirts will be sent home with students on Tuesday,
September 7. Upper School shirts were distributed
during
the lunch hour on Friday, September 3. We would greatly
appreciate all efforts to return the misprinted shirts
to either the Lower or Upper School Offices or to
individual classrooms upon receipt of the new t-shirts.
Thank
you so much for your patience and cooperation and
our apologies for the error.
SCRIP Is Back and You Can Save On Your Tuition
The SCRIP
Program
will
not
keep
your
children
from
losing
their coats, backpacks or books, but it will lower
your tuition! This program allows SFCS families to
purchase gift certificates for groceries, gas stations,
department stores and more with a portion of your
investment going toward your tuition. Order forms are
available
in both the Lower and Upper School Offices. You may
also place orders via email by sending your request
to mcollom@bellsouth.net. Karin Collom will be our
SCRIP representative for the year. Please feel free
to contact her if you have any questions at 862.9570.
SFCS Welcomes New Teacher, Larry Clark
Larry Clark |
The word ‘ experience’ hardly describes
what new SFCS teacher, Larry Clark has to share with
our Upper School students. Clark is a seasoned educator
with 35 years of ‘ experiences’ in teaching,
coaching and as an administrator. You will find Clark
and his students digging deep into the fascinating
subjects of Human Anatomy, Biology, Life Science and
Physical Science. Clark holds a Bachelor of Science
degree from Mars Hill College and Masters of Education
from Clemson University. His wife Martha is a nurse
practitioner. They have two, married sons and three
grandchildren. When he’s not in the classroom,
Clark loves to play golf, jog and work in his yard.
