Welcome to the 2024-25 School Year!

Superintendent Carmen Diaz GhyselsDear SRCS Community,

Happy New Year! I am so pleased to welcome our incredible students, families and staff to the 2024-25 school year! As a reminder, the first day of school for all students is Wednesday, August 21.

The excitement that will soon fill our classrooms, hallways and campuses on the first day will be energizing. The smiles on our students’ faces, the energy in the air and the enthusiasm to embark on this new year are very exciting. I want to thank everyone for making our SRCS community a vibrant and welcoming place!

To our students: I want you to know how proud I am of your eagerness to learn, grow and make the most of every opportunity this year. Your commitment to your education and personal development is inspiring, and I want to assure you that we are fully committed to supporting you in achieving great things this year.

To our parents and families: You are an essential and valued part of our District and school communities. Thank you for entrusting us with your children's education. Your support, involvement and partnership with us are invaluable, and we are truly grateful for your role in creating a nurturing and empowering environment that will help your child succeed.

To our exceptional teachers and staff: Your dedication and passion for teaching and supporting all our students are the cornerstones of our SRCS educational excellence. Your hard work and commitment to our students are truly commendable, and I am grateful to have such a talented team of employees shaping the future of our students.

As we move into this new school year, let us embrace each day - beyond the first day - with our District values of equity, community and joy. Together, we will overcome challenges, celebrate achievements and create a positive and inspiring learning environment, especially if we hold true to our values.

I look forward to this school year's beautiful moments, achievements and memories. Your feedback and suggestions are always welcome, as they help us improve and grow. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, concerns or ideas to share. I can be reached at superintendent@srcs.org.
