Dear Friends,

For me, the winter months invite reflection. They call us to gather closer, to celebrate milestones, and to ready ourselves for the work still ahead. Springtime in the education field is especially busy, and reflection allows us to stay more grounded in our core principles. This year, that reflection centers on the themes of growth through connection and leaning into challenges.

Each of these moments — the celebrations, the new spaces, the stories — are part of a larger theme this year: growth through connection. Whether in classrooms, labs, or at community events, we continue to learn from one another, support each other, and honor the shared mission that defines SCSDB.

We proudly celebrated the opening of the newly refurbished science lab at the School for the Deaf with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. This milestone marks the successful completion of an initiative driven by the vision and dedication of the school's science staff and the generosity of community sponsors.

Get Ready for Spirit Week, Hornets! 

Mark your calendars for an unforgettable Spirit Week. It’s the perfect opportunity to showcase your school pride every day. 

Autumn is upon us, and what better way to celebrate the season than by decorating your porch with beautiful Fall plants? Our students have been cultivating a variety of plants to sell to the community, perfect for adding a touch of the season to your home.

We began our year with a focus on presuming competence—the intrinsic belief that our students are highly capable individuals who will grow and thrive with the appropriate supports. Throughout the year, the Buzz has highlighted countless examples of student achievement in academics, clubs, fine arts, athletics, employability/work skills, and social-emotional learning. I hope you enjoy learning about our students and programs!
