South Fork Elem. Parent Newsletter
March 1-5, 2021
Read, Read, Read!
What's happening this week?
*It's hard to believe that we are in the first week of March! We are working hard to get students ready for the next grade. Please talk with your student about the importance of trying their best everyday.
*With warmer weather coming, please remember that skirts and shorts need to be no more than 4 inches above the knee. Many students have grown taller since the beginning of school so please be sure to check those skirts and shorts to be sure they're not too short.
*Thank you for your support with our spring fundraiser. The fundraiser ends Mon, March 1st so be sure that you pay online and send in your order forms.
*Dress code reminders: Jackets must fully zip from top to bottom (no hoodies that don't fully zip) and leggings must be navy, white, or gray. No patterns allowed. Shirts worn under uniform shirts must be white or navy.
*Be sure to write your child's name inside of their jackets. This helps if they misplace their jacket.
*Please be sure that you are sending a water bottle with your child each day. We have water for refills but can't supply multiple bottles each week to students. Thank you for your help with this.
*Please check to be sure that your 3rd-5th grader has their mask each day. If they forget it and they ride on the bus, they don't get one until they get to school. We appreciate your help in keeping everyone safe.
*If your child or any member of your immediate household is tested for COVID, please keep them home until you get the test results. Your help with this is greatly appreciated.
*Please remember to check PowerSchool often as that is the best way to see current grades. Be sure that you are encouraging your student to do their best everyday. It is much easier to begin with good grades than it is to pull low grades up from incomplete or missing assignments.
*If you have not paid your student's supply fee, please pay it as soon as possible.
*If you have a new address and/or contact numbers, please call the office so we can be sure to get those updated.
*Be sure that you join the teacher and bus driver REMIND groups and follow our FB page and our school website.
*We are doing our part to get info out to you so please help us by sharing information and helping us reach all parents.
