Sheer Determination

Connecting with the Community 

At SLCS, we believe that a school must be connected to the community it seeks to serve.  To be truly connected to the school, the community needs to be involved in the school in as many ways as possible.  In turn, the school must also seek to serve the community in as many ways as possible.

Our Standards for Parent & Community Involvement

We believe communication between home and the school is two-way and meaningful:

• Four conferences scheduled per year in which both parent and student attend to allow for appropriate goal setting for the student.
• Monthly school newsletter
• Classroom newsletters

At SLCS, parenting skills are promoted and supported.

Parents play an integral part in assisting student learning.

We welcome parents at the school, and their support and assistance sought.

A full partnership is formed with parents in the decisions that affect their children and families.
