Newcomers Coffee
Parents and guardians who are new to the school are warmly welcome to join us for a Newcomers’ Coffee on Monday, August 22 at 9:30AM at the school. Light refreshments and tours will be available. Hope to see you then!
Attendance
We understand that there are circumstances which your student will be absent from school. Please contact your child's teacher via email if your child will be sick. If you are requesting a pre-approved absence (e.g., family event), please contact Mrs. Kyle at kyle@fultonschools.org. This request must be made five school days in advance of the absence. The student's complete attendance record and academic standing will be reviewed when considering approval.
Join the PTA!
Thank you to all who have signed up to be a SBCE Bobcat PTA Member!
Your membership donations dictate our budget for the school year. 100% of your membership goes directly back to teachers and school programs like mini grants and teacher stipends.
It’s not too late if you have not had a chance to sign up for memberships.
JOIN THE CLOWDER a.k.a. PTA (Yup, you read that right! We are the bobcats, and a group of us in nature is called a clowder, clutter, or pounce. Join us!) Purchase your PTA membership on Member Toolkit.
Digital box tops are here.
What does that mean for SBCE PTA? Well the physical box tops have disappeared and all credit will be received electronically. So it's time to download the app onto your smart device (see links below) and scan your receipt with all participating box top items from any retailer (grocery store to gas station). A list of all participating brands is available on the app and website. You will now be able to watch how much you are contributing to the school through the app.
Participating Products Page - Box Tops for Education (boxtops4education.com)
Receipts must be scanned within 14 days of purchase for credit so set up a reminder from boxtops on your device.
Please contact me with any question krishnan.akila@gmail.com.
