Parent Resources

This list has been compiled by Southgate Social Workers and Counselors to better assist our students and families during the COVID-19 crisis:  Resource List for Parents.

 We ask for your continued patience as we move through these unprecedented times.  We are in the process of working through additional learning opportunities and will share those plans in the coming days and weeks.  We will communicate any and all updates we receive related to the Southgate Community School District and your child's education.  We thank you for your understanding and patience. Our ability to come together as a community and work through these difficult times is the definition of the "Titan Pride".

Thank you!
