Celebrating Fall
Food Committee Critiques Lunches
Students and parents met with the school’s lunch provider, Quest, to share suggestions and ideas about improving the meals. Students and parents shared what they liked and disliked about the new online meal ordering system as well as the food on the menu. Quest will send a survey to gather additional feedback from families about how they can improve their service. For photos of the activity, please visit the school's Facebook page.
Parent Education Committee Values Your Opinion
The Sprague Education Committee would like your thoughts on parent education workshops for families of children in grades preschool through second-grade. Please respond to this brief survey with your responses.
Picture Retake Day
Picture retake day is Wednesday, Nov. 6. If you are unhappy with your child's picture and would like to have it retaken, you must return the original package in its entirety (except for the class picture). The original package will be handed to the photographer when the new picture is taken.
If your child was absent and did not have a photo taken, please download the form from the Sprague School News website page and bring it to the photographer along with payment (check, credit card or cash).
