Meet the Tigers

From our tiny tots to our tweens and everyone in between, we welcome you here! We want every child to have the confidence and skills they need to pursue their dreams and goals, wherever those may lead them. We accomplish this by providing a comprehensive education delivered by caring teachers and supported by our community. It takes a team, and we’re glad you’re on ours.

We define 21st-century skills and behaviors as follows:

• Life skills: ethics, responsibility and personal productivity, self-reflection and direction, social responsibility, leadership, and adaptability

School Counseling

SPCS is pleased to offer elementary counseling services. Our counselor provides classroom lessons to help students see the many ways social skills can be used to communicate more effectively. The school counselor is also available for private counseling for any student who may need assistance navigating a difficult situation at school or coping with changes at home. We also welcome parents/guardians to call the counselor directly to answer any questions you might have during this time of their development.
