Sand Ridge "Shark Bites" Update
November 7, 2021 - Issue #11
Thank you to those families that were able to attend our First Quarter Awards last week. What a joy to be able to do our awards in person this year! Our students are amazing and we so enjoy celebrating them!
What's Happening this Week?
- Our PTO Meets this Tuesday at 6:00 pm in the Media Center. Please plan to attend and support our PTO and our new board that graciously volunteers to serve.
- Our third grade students will provide a brief performance following the PTO meeting at 6:30 pm.
- Wednesday, Nov. 10th is an Early Release Day, with students dismissing at 12:10 pm. Please remember that there will be no Boys & Girls Club on campus that afternoon and that ALL transportation changes MUST be made in writing.
- Thursday, Nov. 11th is a Holiday. School will be closed in honor of Veterans Day.
Please take a moment to read through this newsletter and look at all of the graphics so that you are up-to-date on all that is going on.
- Our Veterans Day Luncheon will be held on Monday, Nov. 15th. We are in need of donations of desserts for the Luncheon and a link to the signup is posted below.
- Information about vaccination clinics for children that will be happening on Monday and Tuesday is posted below.
- Parent/Teacher conferences continue this week.
Lastly, thank you to those parents who have volunteered to serve as Room Parents. Unfortunately, we have not been able to acquire Room Parents for all of our classrooms and are currently at about 60%. For those classrooms that have had volunteers, I am working with teachers to establish needs and expectations and they will be in touch with you individually to coordinate how you can assist.
As always, we appreciate your support of our school, students and staff.
Denise Gartner
Principal
