Dear MSCS Families,
We are writing with an important update regarding the Optional Schools and General Choice Transfer application launch. As many of you are aware, we encountered a technical challenge this morning due to a nationwide outage from one of our software vendors. This unexpected event coincided with our planned application launch, and we understand the frustration and inconvenience it caused.
We want to assure you that your ability to apply for Optional Schools and General Choice Transfers has not been compromised. The application window has been rescheduled to open at 10 a.m. on THURSDAY, FEB. 1, 2024.
The application can be accessed by visiting the links below or from the District’s homepage (www.scsk12.org) or PowerSchool (https://scstn.powerschool.com/public/home.html) with your parent/guardian login.
