Message From the Principal
Good evening Sabercat Families!
I hope you are staying warm and safe on this cold rainy day. Weather like this calls for a good book and a warm cup of coffee. With the temperatures dropping, I can understand our students wanting to stay warm and wanting to come to school in pajamas or onesies. However, this is not part of our student dress code.
As the festivities approach this weekend, students want to join and take part in dressing up in Halloween customes and share treats with their friends. This is also not allowed per the student dress code, but also for safety reasons, students are not allowed to share anything now more than ever due to safety guidelines. Please remind your students to hold off on enjoying the celebrations until the weekend.
For important updates that may not be included in the Sabercat Newsletter, our campus has made the "remind" account for Stockdick where parents will receive important notifications from me. Please see the information below that shows parents how to sign up for this notification.
I wish you all a vey happy rest of the week and encourage you to enjoy this cold weather. I am certainly looking forward to it!
Sincerely,
Dr. Ann Lalime
