Principal's Corner
November 11th - November 15th
Thanks to everyone who joined us at Parent Conferences this past week. If you were not able to make it, please do not hesitate to contact any of your student's teachers at any point.
What an amazing start to the school year in regards to Attendance. As a school, we are over 95% of our students considered at "regular attenders" (attending school 90% or more). This is blowing last year's marks out of the water - keep it up!
Remember to please send your student to school each and every day unless they have a fever, have diarrhea, are vomiting, or if your child has a severe, uncontrolled cough or wheezing. Other reasons to keep your student at home are if they have head lice, conjunctivitis (pink eye), a rash with fever, or chicken pox.
Your student should still attend school even if you are sick, stressed, or hospitalized, if they don't want to go to school (we can help figure out the cause), if they have a cold, or have a strain, sprain or pain (including menstrual issues). We can assist with any of the above issues, but we don't want students missing school and their learning because of these reasons!
We have our PTSA Meeting this week. Please join us in Mr. Sale's office from 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. to hear about how you can get involved here at South. If you are unable to make it, pease feel free to set up a meeting with Mr. Sale to hear more about the PTSA. The times don't work for everyone, but we will make information as readily available as we can!
Encourage your student to attend our monthly dance/activity this Friday. We'll "party it up" here at South this Friday from 5:00 - 6:45 p.m. It should be a fun time that is a safe space for your student to kick off their weekend. We'll see you there!
Go Trojans,
Mr. Sale
