World Kindness Day
In honor of World Kindness Day on November 13th, we are encouraging educators and students to take a moment to spread kindness intentionally. Each classroom and staff member will have "Kindness Grams" available to write to individuals on campus and at home to spread kindness. The "Kindness Grams" will be distributed on Tuesday, November 14th, allowing everyone time to write them out.

Big Kahuna plans to deliver orders to campus on Tuesday, November 28th. Parents will need to plan on picking up packages from 1:00-4:00pm that day. Please mark your calendar now and plan on swinging by campus that day to pick up your orders from 1:00-4:00pm. We are not able to send orders home with students.


Big Kahuna schedules the party bus, and once those plans are made, they will be communicated to students and families!


Thank you for your efforts in supporting our school!

Lockdown Drill

Lockdown Drill

Lockdown Drill
This week we completed a lockdown drill at SGE. We practiced securing the building from within. By practicing these skills during drills, students will know what to do and how to do it to keep themselves and others safe. We know that crisis situations are stressful for students, staff, and parents, and we will continue to be proactive in practicing for emergencies or a crisis while keeping students, staff, and parents informed.

Thank you, Veterans!

SGE Attendance Tracking

SGE's ADA for this past week was 94.05%.


ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. "98 IS Great!", so 98% is our goal!

Viewing Progress Reports & Report Cards

An important piece in the family-school partnership is staying aware of student performance. It is requested that parents view and electronically sign progress reports and report cards. See the directions below, and be sure to get those signatures in! In addition, parents are encouraged to regularly view grades in Skyward.
