Big Kahuna Fundraiser Information

Big Kahuna plans to deliver orders to campus on Tuesday, November 28th. Parents will need to plan on picking up packages from 1:00-4:00pm that day. Please mark your calendar now and plan on swinging by campus that day to pick up your orders from 1:00-4:00pm. We are not able to send orders home with students.


Big Kahuna schedules the party bus, and once those plans are made, they will be communicated to students and families!


Thank you for your efforts in supporting our school!

Cake Walk Request!

We are planning a mini-cake walk for our Fall Carnival on November 11th! The cake walk will be open as long as we have cakes to serve! If you'd like to contribute, please send individual servings of cakes, cookies, or sweet treats on Friday, November 10th. Prepackaged treats like Little Debbie Snacks would also work!

The Turkey Trot and Fall Carnival are next weekend! Rain or shine, plan to join the fun!

November Gem of Appreciation

Shady Grove Elementary's November Gem of Appreciation is Ashton Medrano! Mrs. Medrano serves as a 1st grade teacher. She is receiving the Gem because of her positive leadership. Mrs. Medrano demonstrates professionalism in her role as an educator and as a team player. She demonstrates an interest in growing in her craft and takes initiative to expand her own thinking and that of others. Mrs. Medrano is as dedicated to students' social-emotional and behavioral growth as she is to their academic progress. Ms. Medrano is positive and proactive, always willing to try new strategies to help children who are struggling with behavior. We are grateful for you, Mrs. Medrano, and we're proud to have you at SGE!

SGE Attendance Tracking

SGE's ADA for this past week was 93.17%.


ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. "98 IS Great!", so 98% is our goal!

See the directions below, and be sure to get those signatures in! In addition, parents are encouraged to regularly view grades in Skyward.
