Student Drop-Off Concerns

Dangerous traffic congestion is being caused by cars stopping to drop off students before school at the Southeast and Southwest intersection by Scotus. We are asking that STUDENTS BE DROPPED OFF ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING where a drop-off zone is available. (When traveling east, students will not even need to cross with on-coming traffic.) Thank you for your coopertaion! Also remind your students to please use the pedestrian cross walks when crossing streets after school to meet their rides.

Wayne's Word

Messages from Wayne Morfeld

A brand new senior class who I am depending on to provide great leadership, approximately 70 seventh graders who have not worked together before or in the Scotus environment, 2 new teachers, a new computer lab located on the third floor, new computers in the journalism/yearbook room, new windows in Mr. Younger, Mr. Salyard, Mrs. Tooley, Mrs. Hash, Mr. Puetz and the Music classrooms/offices, a redesigned traffic pattern, team seating and officials scorers area in the Dowd Center, and lots and lots of painting throughout the building. When I am asked what is new at Scotus it takes me a long time to answer the question and I often forget some of the crucial answers. And I did just did forget, Scotus also has a new student from China, a new student from Vietnam and based on the demographic data from the 7th grade class lots of new Scotus parents. That is a lot of new stuff!

Will Scotus face challenges this next school year? Of course! But the proper mixture of the “old” and all of our dependable systems with the right amount of “new” will I am convinced result in a great 2010-11 school year.
