November is coming to an end, and we only have three and a half weeks remaining in the first semester. Please encourage your scholars to finish the semester strong! While this week will have warmer weather, winter already made a blistering appearance last week. Please make sure your scholars are bringing appropriate attire if they have outside recess. If you need help securing coats, scarves and hats for your family, please email Mr. Engles at pengles@sb.school or Mrs. Walker at twalker@sb.school.
iReady testing kicks off this week. The iReady is taken three times a year and is used to gather achievement data for math and English/reading. We have been completing the Dyslexia screener for grades K-2 and will be sharing information with families in the coming week. Please note that we can only screen for Dyslexia and do NOT provide a diagnosis. A Dyslexia diagnosis must come from a physician.
This Friday will kick off the first of several Dress Down Fridays. The funds will be used to support the PTSO. Cost to dress down is $1. Please note, scholars must still wear school-expected attire. No large holes in pants, no bandannas, no slippers, pajama pants or crop tops.
Our IB learner attribute for December is communicator. We will be encouraging scholars to think about ways they can communicate effectively in all facets of their lives.
Winter break will be here soon! Break will be from December 22nd through January 8th. We will welcome scholars back on January 9th.
I hope everyone had a wonderful week and a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
Blessings,
Dr. Garcia-Groves
