  3. Philosophy of SCIS • Sloan Creek Intermediate School will be a bridge between elementary school and middle school. SCIS will build a solid foundation for all students so they may thrive and grow to be productive learners in a safe and age appropriate environment. There will be a step up from 5th to 6th.

Work first, then play. • Habit 4: Think win-win. Everyone can win. • Habit 5: Seek first to understand, then to be understood. Listen before you talk. • Habit 6: Synergize. Together is better. • Habit 7: Sharpen the saw. Balance is best.
