From the Principal’s desk Dear Patrons: We want to welcome everyone back to the second semester at Scribner-Snyder Community School. The students and staff have been very busy since their return to school. It is hard to believe we’re already to the mid-point of the 3 rd quarter of the school year. SSCS will be hosting Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday, February 15 th from 3:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. The elementary teachers have already met to set-up an elementary student visitation schedule which will be sent home in your child’s Friday Folder. The Jr. High and high school teachers will again have tables set up in the gym. We encourage all our parents to attend. Our coding teacher, Linda Schafer, continued offering several coding courses again this year including: 3-D Advanced Gameit, Web Design, and a 9 th Grade Coding class. She’s also started a new elementary coding club and a new Jr. high/high school gaming club. Mrs. Schafer has several students participating in these activities and we want to thank her for her work. The second round of our DIBELS Next testing took place in December prior to Christmas break. A data retreat was held to review the testing results during our teacher in-service day after Christmas break. The teachers and RtI staff are using the results of this testing to examine how well our RtI procedures are working to assistance our struggling students to improve their reading skills. The SSCS Strategic Planning Committee asked the school to start a new outreach program called Lunch- and-Learn. With this program we're asking community groups to come to visit our school and have various school groups present what they do. As part of this project we're trying to have community members/students become more involved with one another. Thus far Mrs. Ryun’s FFA members and Mr. Stevens’s Community Service Club presented during the months of November and December. Mrs. Drey’s FCCLA organization will be presenting in February. The basketball and wrestling teams continue their seasons with conference competitions and several games/meets to be held in the month of February. As always, we encourage everyone to come and support our student-athletes during these competitions. Hoping everyone is staying warm during this cold spell. Have no fear, spring will be here before we know it. Best Regards, Mr. Stithem Scribner-Snyder Community School February-March 2018 Newsletter

From the Principal’s desk
Dear Patrons:
We want to welcome everyone back to the second semester at Scribner-Snyder Community School. The
students and staff have been very busy since their return to school. It is hard to believe we’re already to
the mid-point of the 3rd quarter of the school year.
SSCS will be hosting Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday, February 15th from 3:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
The elementary teachers have already met to set-up an elementary student visitation schedule which
will be sent home in your child’s Friday Folder. The Jr. High and high school teachers will again have
tables set up in the gym. We encourage all our parents to attend.
Our coding teacher, Linda Schafer, continued offering several coding courses again this year including:
3-D Advanced Gameit, Web Design, and a 9th Grade Coding class. She’s also started a new elementary
coding club and a new Jr. high/high school gaming club. Mrs. Schafer has several students participating
in these activities and we want to thank her for her work.
The second round of our DIBELS Next testing took place in December prior to Christmas break. A data
retreat was held to review the testing results during our teacher in-service day after Christmas break.
The teachers and RtI staff are using the results of this testing to examine how well our RtI procedures
are working to assistance our struggling students to improve their reading skills.
The SSCS Strategic Planning Committee asked the school to start a new outreach program called Lunch-and-Learn. With this program we're asking community groups to come to visit our school and have various school groups present what they do. As part of this project we're trying to have community members/students become more involved with one another. Thus far Mrs. Ryun’s FFA members and Mr. Stevens’s Community Service Club presented during the months of November and December. Mrs. Drey’s FCCLA organization will be presenting in February.
The basketball and wrestling teams continue their seasons with conference competitions and several
games/meets to be held in the month of February. As always, we encourage everyone to come and
support our student-athletes during these competitions.
Hoping everyone is staying warm during this cold spell. Have no fear, spring will be here before we know
it.

Kindergarten Age Change
The Nebraska legislature has adopted a new law (79-214) for the 2012-13 school year and each school
year thereafter: The school board of any school district shall not admit any child into the kindergarten
class unless the child has reached the age of five years on or before July 31 of the calendar year in which
the school year for which the child is seeking admission begins. This reflects a change in the law where
the child must be five on or before October 15 of the calendar year that the child is seeking admission
begins.
The board may admit a child who will reach the age of five years on or after August 1 and on or before
October 15 if the parent or guardian requests entrance and provides an affidavit stating that (a) the child
attended kindergarten in another jurisdiction in the current school year, (b) the family anticipates
relocation to another jurisdiction that would allow admission within the current year, or (c) the child has
demonstrated through a recognized assessment procedure approved by the board that he or she is capable
of carrying the work of kindergarten. The parent or guardian must request early entrance testing before
March 1st of each year.
Please remember, if your child does not meet this requirement we have a great preschool
that he/she can attend at no cost. Please call the office and discuss your options or to enroll
