Welcome Back!!

We have kicked off another great school year at Scranton Elementary School. Our vision for this year once again is “Readers Today, Leaders Tomorrow.” Our new school theme is “Full STEAM Ahead.” We are looking forward to a focus on literacy while also becoming a STEAM school. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math. Our goal this year is to incorporate all of these components in the every day learning that takes place at Scranton. If you walk around the building, you will see a train car for each student. As an incentive, students can earn coal for wearing uniforms, being on time, trying their best, completing homework, and doing good deeds for others. As the year goes on, students will be working to gather as much coal as possible to place on their train car. We cannot wait to see which of our amazing students will become master coal miners. Students will also be able to earn coal by joining clubs. We are excited that Scranton is offering more clubs than ever including Book Club, Jr. Book Club, Science Club, Jr, Science club, engineering club, cheer club, student council, and Beta Club! Information will be going home at a later date for each of these clubs. Overall, we have a lot of great things going on at SES this year and we look forward to working with parents to have the best year ever! Look each month for a newsletter with important information and the great things happening at SES.

Excited to be Back!
