  • Attendance

    School is open 5-days a week for in-person instruction. Students must report to school by 8:00 AM. Students arriving after 8:05 AM will be marked tardy.

    One of the most important things your child can do to be successful is to attend school every day on time. Research has shown that your child's regular attendance may be the greatest factor influencing his/her academic success.

    Please note, unless otherwise stated, SCPS is fully in-person. Virtual instruction is not an option for students attending SCHS in-person. Registration for Virtual Virginia closed in summer 2021. If your child is absent from school, the absence cannot be excused due to virtual learning, unless the student is absent due to quarantine.

    COVID-19

    Days in quarantine will be counted as R-Remote Instruction. Students will be quarantined according to guidance from the VDH Crater Health District. Fully vaccinated students and staff are exempt from quarantine. Students in quarantine must access Canvas and their school email to continue their schoolwork from home.

  • Summer Reading Program

    The English department at SCHS established a mandatory summer reading program to promote year-round reading and literacy. Rising freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors will be required to read a novel and complete an activity for assessment over the summer. After reading the mandatory novel, please complete the activity assigned to your grade level. If you are not sure which English class you are taking next year, please check your child's schedule on ParentPortal.

    Regardless of which semester your English class is scheduled for the 2022-2023 school year, turn the assignment in to your English teacher by the first Friday of the first semester’s classes. Your English teacher will use this as a grade. Unless otherwise noted in the directions, please do not consult Internet sources to complete the activity. All work should be your own. All books are widely available at public libraries, bookstores, and on-line. Parents and students can talk with any English teacher for more details.

    Please visit the links below for the assignments for each grade level. You can also find this information at the Summer Reading page under Students.

    For the 2022-2023 school year, assignments are due to your English teacher by Friday, September 9, 2022.
