We have conferences coming up next week. You should have received a note to fill out indicating your availability for meeting with the teacher either on the phone or through a zoom or Facetime. You should have then received a little half sheet telling you when your conference is. It's always super important to meet with your child's teacher, but this year is even more important than usual since it can be hard to stay connected with the COVID situation. If you cannot make your scheduled time, call the office and ask to reschedule. The teachers' schedules are very full, so it's not always easy to reschedule. Please make every effort to meet during the planned time. Also, if your phone number changes or your phone isn't working, let the office know. Your students will need to be right there with you during the conference so they can share some information/goals with you as well. We appreciate your flexibility, and our wonderful teachers look forward to visiting with you.

Love,

Mrs. Crumby (your proud principal)

Your student should have brought home a sign up flier from Coach McGraw and Coach Easley. Here's some information:

Race dates:

Wednesday, September 23rd at Har-Ber

Wednesday, October 14th at Sonora

Wednesday, October 28th at Sonora

Every race day will begin at 4 pm.

The cost again is $5 for each athlete and that covers ALL three races!!

These races are designed for K-6th grade students.

The top 10 finishers get a medal!

If your child didn't make it home with the form, have your child ask Coach McGraw for another copy, or call the office. All COVID guidelines will be followed.

If you haven't completed the free/reduced lunch form, please call the office and ask us for another paper one, or go to https://sites.google.com/sdale.org/child-nutrition/ for links to the online application or to print the paper application.

Fall pictures are coming up on Oct. 1st and 2nd. If your student is here every day or a blended Tues/Thurs student, he/she will have pictures taken on the 1st. Those who are blended M/W/F students will have pictures done on the 2nd. A picture flier is coming home Monday the 21st. (Coach your child not to look like the one above.) :)

The flu shot clinic is happening on Monday, October 12th. Forms will be coming home; these should be turned on by Friday, October 9th if you want your child to get a flu shot here at school. If you have questions, call the school and ask for Nurse Amy, or email her at alightfoot@sdale.org.

We are sending letters to those who haven't updated it. The big important thing right now is that the technology acceptable use agreement form is in the update. If it isn't signed, we can't send a device home with your student. This is going to be a big problem if we have to go to full remote learning at some point. If you don't have a way to complete it, come by school and use our Chromebook. We are here to help!

The login is your child's student id (if you don't have your letter that was mailed to your home this summer with this information, call us) and the password is your child's date of birth entered in this format: 01/12/2013
