Hello SC Families,
With this being my last full week in the building before my maternity leave (ahhhhh!), I wanted to share my plans for the upcoming weeks. My due date is quickly approaching, and while it will be hard to step away, I feel incredibly confident that our school will continue to thrive in my absence.
We are so fortunate to have a strong, dedicated team who know your children well. I am deeply grateful to them for taking on extra responsibilities during this time. Their commitment gives me great peace of mind as I step away to welcome this sweet Trentman boy!
There will not be one person stepping in as interim principal. Instead, our amazing staff will be dividing and conquering responsibilities throughout the building. In addition, we are blessed to have my Archdiocese of Cincinnati Regional Director, Mr. Dan Stringer, supporting the staff 1–2 days per week. He is an incredible educator and leader, and I am so appreciative of the time he will spend in the building as a sounding board, support, and resource for the team.
Communication will continue smoothly through teachers, the office, and other school personnel. Please direct your questions to the appropriate contact listed below:
Teachers:
Your child’s teacher should always be the first line of communication. If they don’t have the answer, they will connect you with someone who does.

I have attached the Lunch Calendar and SC 25-26 School Calendar.
My expected return date is January 12, 2026.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. I feel so fortunate to work alongside such wonderful families, staff, and students. I will miss the kids dearly—but don’t be surprised if I sneak in for a recess duty or two!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Trentman
