SGE Family Newsletter
For the Week of May 2 - 6
Estimados Padres,
Queríamos hacerles saber que, cuando necesitan ponerse en contacto con la escuela, y no hay ninguna emergencia, vamos a tener a una de las maestras ayudantes que puede hablar español en la oficina entre la 1:35 y las 2:35 p.m. Seguro que puedan llamar en cualquier momento si tiene alguna emergencia y es urgente hablar con el personal de la escuela.
Gracias,
Mrs. O’Hair
Directora de la Escuela Elemental de Shady Grove

Behind the scenes at SGE last week...
We have three stars of Shady Grove this week! These "Caught with Character" recipients were recognized for the following:
-He is "exceptional at recognizing the needs of others!"
-A new student needed help getting to the cafeteria and she offered to help her get to the cafeteria and back to her classroom! She made the new student happy!
-When a friend couldn't swim because she didn't have a swimsuit, this student brought her one so she could participate. She is a good friend!
Academics + Character = Success
Spirit • Pride • Honor
And a special shout-out to our music teacher, Ms. Perkins, and the activity teachers, Mrs. Jones, Coach Giesenschlag, and Coach Tyler, for coordinating the event!
Ongoing Reminders and Quick Links
Birthdays!
Is your child celebrating a birthday? Feel free to send individually wrapped birthday treats for your child's class. The teacher will serve them at an appropriate time according to each class's end-of-day schedule.
Please keep in mind the "individually wrapped" condition when planning the treat to send with your student. Individually wrapped treats minimize exposure to extra handling.
Car Line Reminders
-Are you parking on Harvey St. by the grove of trees to drop-off in the morning? If so, please walk your child to a staff member in the front of the building rather than sending him/her to walk alone. Please also avoid blocking residential driveways and bus traffic.
-No in-person pick-up after 3:00pm until the car line is finished. As we work to dismiss our students in a timely and orderly fashion, we must keep the front entry/exit doors uncrowded. As a result, parents needing to check their students out must do so before 3:00pm or after the car line is finished.
Other general reminders:
-Help us keep the line moving as quickly and safely as possible by staying in your car, seating your student on the right side of the vehicle, and giving goodbye hugs and kisses before the drop-off line!
-If adults need to exit the car for any reason (to walk student in, to help student unbuckle, etc), please park in a parking space and walk your child across the crosswalk.
HOW DO I REQUEST A CHANGE IN TRANSPORTATION?
