Sand Ridge "Shark Bites" Update
April 24, 2022 - Issue #29
Happy Sunday Shark Families!
It is hard to believe that we have reached the end of April! Things are getting busy at Sand Ridge! Please check the Calendar of Dates to Remember each week as new things are added and date changes are made to accommodate all that we have going on. When you look today, you will see that we have added the date for Field Day, which is so exciting!!
Events and things to note this week include;
- Our April PTO Meeting will be held on Tuesday evening (April 26th) at 6:00pm, immediately before the kindergarten performance at 6:30 pm. I hope that all parents will consider coming out to participate in the PTO. Kindergarten parents who attend will be given first entry and choice of seating for the performance, before we open the doors. :)
- Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week is the week of May 2-6. I have attached a simple daily calendar below, which is an easy way to recognize our staff who are so dedicated to our students.
- Spring Survey season is upon us and the annual Parent/Family Survey is posted below. Please take just a few minutes to click on the link and complete the survey. Your opinion is very important to us.
- We have several grade levels taking field trips this week. Please remind students to keep track of any jackets or sweaters they may wear to school in the morning and shed later in the day when the temperature rises.
We have received several questions about the increase in Life Flight helicopters using our grounds recently. Our grounds (the field and the large back parking lot) are very good areas for a helicopter to land when someone is in need of lifesaving transport. Local law enforcement and fire/rescue always communicate with school staff and students are prevented from witnessing any events related to this if it happens during the school day. These events are not connected to our school or students/staff. In the event that anything occurs that interrupts teaching and learning or involves any staff/students, parents will be notified as quickly as possible.
Thank you for your continued support of Sand Ridge Elementary!
