Sand Ridge "Shark Bites" Update
Febuary 6th, 2022 - Issue #20
Hello Shark Families!!
There is a lot of information in this newsletter, so I hope that you will read through carefully!
We are very excited to be hosting in-person awards this week! It is such a joy to celebrate our students with families present. We are also starting Volunteer Training!! Please see below for dates and times!
This week is "School Counselor Week". While much of the emphasis will be on sharing all that our counselors do with students, we also want to take a moment to show our appreciation to them! Thank you Mrs. Palmeter and Mrs. Cutrone-Scales for all that that you do to support students, families and staff!!
It's going to be another great week at Sand Ridge Elementary!

Principal
On Wednesday afternoon we celebrated, with a Fiesta, the tremendous success of the 2020-2021 school year! Despite the Covid related struggles, Sand Ridge Elementary Met or Exceeded Expected Growth in all areas. We recognized all of our staff and awarded prizes to the eight staff members with students that Exceeded Expected Growth!
It's Time to Welcome Volunteers Back into the Building!!
Mr. Henderson will begin to offer Volunteer Trainings this month. All parents wishing to volunteer must go through this training each year. If you have volunteered in the past and have completed finger-printing with Onslow County Schools, once you complete training with Mr. Henderson you are able to begin volunteering. If you have not, Mr. Henderson will review finger-printing requirements at volunteer training.
Training dates in February are as follows:
- February 14th at 8:45 am
- February 16th at 4:00 pm
- February 17th at 12:00 pm
