All medications (prescription and non-prescription) must be submitted to the School Office. For the safety of all students, medications may not be stored on a student's person or in a desk, backpack, or locker.
Prescription medication must:
- be in its original packaging
- have a prescription label in the student's name
- be current (not expired)
- be accompanied by the Student Prescribed Medication Form
Grades 9-12 Students
Students may keep prescription and non-prescription medications with them. For the safety of all students, medications must be stored securely and not be accessible to other students.
Important to Note
If your student has a medical condition requiring additional support or prescribed medical procedures at school, please contact the School Office for further information.
The School Office also has acetaminophen, ibuprofen, common allergy medications (e.g., Reactine), and basic first aid supplies available for students as needed. Parent consent for these items is reviewed annually.

Student Transportation to School Events
Parents must have an approved Driver Authorization Form signed by the principal for transporting children other than their own to and from any school-authorized event (field trips, sports teams, ski trip, outdoor education activities, etc).
NOTE: Students can drive themselves to curricular-related events, but cannot drive other students. Students are also required to complete a Driver Authorization Form if driving themselves to curricular-related events.
Student Vehicle Registration
We ask that all students who drive themselves to school and use the student parking lot register their vehicle with the school.
Weather Policies
DURING THE COLDER MONTHS, PLEASE REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING:
- Students in Kindergarten to Grade 6 go outside for recess and lunch when the temperature (with the wind chill) is minus 26 degrees Celsius or warmer.
- If weather conditions are poor, you should make a safe decision about traveling to school. Parents must report all absences/late arrivals/early departures to the School Office. Call 306-343-1494 and press "1" or email 24/7.
- Ensure you have an alternate plan for your children in the event you are unable to get to the school for pick up.
- In cases of severe weather, the school may invoke emergency dismissal procedures. Parents will receive instructions and should check their email and the SCS or 650 CKOM websites in the mornings for emergency notifications.
- Ensure that emergency contact information is current at the School Office with a telephone number where you can be reached immediately.
DURING THE WARMER MONTHS, PLEASE REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING:
- Students will remain inside the school when there is thunder and lightning, driving rain, excessive winds, or poor air quality.
- All students in grades K-6 go outside for recess and lunch (unless the conditions listed above exist). Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather and is prepared with rain boots, a raincoat, umbrellas, and a change of socks or pants if necessary. If your child is not well enough to go outside, they should remain at home.
- When the weather is hot, students should be reminded to keep the SCS Dress Code Policy (see SCS Parent/Student Handbook) in mind and be prepared with hats, sunblock, and a refillable water bottle.
SCS Athletic Handbook
The mission of the SCS Athletic Department is to lead students to love God, instilling in them a will to strive for excellence with Christian discipline and character that withstands pressure, teaching them the importance of teamwork & servanthood, and showing them how to accept victory or defeat with grace and humility.
