Dear Parents,

Congratulations to our K-2 students and teachers for a fantastic Christmas concert! It always puts me in a holiday mood. I am looking forward to a great grade 3-5 concert on Thursday night.

Households of Faith tonight!! The focus will be on Advent.

Panther Perks

Did you know the profit from Panther Perks helps to fund a variety of programs and supplemental materials for the students? If we didn’t do Panther Perks, we would be selling candy bars, calendars, wrapping paper and all other sorts of goodies. It’s great to use Panther Perks for your regular shopping needs like Walmart, Sam’s Club, Kohls, Amazon, Lowes and many more. Thank you for your help supporting this fundraiser!

Thank You to Panther Perk Volunteers

We have a wonderful group of volunteers who dedicate many hours to filling orders. Thank you to

·     Shannon Elliott

·     Gretchen Cluff

·     Anna DelPreore

·     Jescie Pullinger

·     Past dedicated volunteers – Tawny Stoffregren, Steph Miller

ESA Funds for 2^nd Semester

I received notification from the state about ESA funds. I have pasted the information below for your information. Please note: SCCS may not have entered invoices yet, but you will receive a notification when they do. Keep an eye out for a notice from Odyssey.

ESA funding for the second half of the school year is now available to ESA participants. The process for schools to enter and for parents to approve tuition and fees for the second half of the year is like the process for the first half of the year.   

· School action: Enter the Spring semester tuition and fees amount for all currently attending students.

o Although Odyssey will automatically notify the parent that an invoice is available to review, we encourage the school to proactively collaborate with families regarding this process also.

· Parent/Guardian action: Approve or deny tuition and fees for the second half of the school year.

To maintain ESA eligibility for the rest of the 2024-25 school year, ESA participants must approve payment of tuition and fees within the Odyssey portal no later than February 1, 2025. 

Questions regarding the payment process can be directed to the Odyssey Support Team at help.ia@withodyssey.com or 515-368-9564.
