PARENT NIGHT
South Parent Night will take place on Thursday, Sept. 16th. This is the one event that we ask for parents only to attend, without their children. Teachers will be reviewing classroom and curriculum information with parents. As we continue to the monitor and follow health and safety protocol, we will be providing parents with an update through email blast as to if we will be holding Parent Night via zoom or in-person. Here is the schedule of events:
6-6:30 - ecore and EC presentations
6:40-7:10 - classroom / Aspire / ELL presentations (session 1)
7:20-7:50 - repeat of session 1
We hope all parents are able to join us for this informative evening, whether remotely or in-person. More info to come!

IMPORTANT LINKED INFORMATION
Please click on the link below to view this important information.
SCHOOL DIRECTORY: SIGN UP BY SEPT. 10th!
This is an “opt-in” directory, meaning you will only receive a directory if you choose to participate. This is the only opportunity to have your information in the school directory and thus the only opportunity to obtain a school directory for the 2021-2022 school year. We will accept the responses on this form until Sept.10th and then a grade level directory will be sent to the email address you respond with. Please use the following web address to sign up: School Directory SignUp
READ-A-THON FUNDRAISER
Help develop your kid’s reading skills and raise money for the school at the same time! The PTO (Supporters of South) have selected a Read-a-thon for our major fundraiser for the year. Your students' teacher has sent home a form to assist with setting up your readers' personal webpage. Students will have the opportunity to earn prizes for themselves and their grade level by logging their reading. The winning grade level will win a movie night on September 23rd from 6:00-8:00pm! Students also will receive raffle tickets for signing up, for you sharing their donation page on social media, and for sharing their Read-a-Thon info via email. At the conclusion of the fundraiser, students can select prizes that will be delivered to the school. To celebrate our success as readers we will be hosting our GLOW-TACULAR on Friday, October 15th!
SPIRITWEAR
We are partnering with a new spiritwear vendor this year to be able to offer spiritwear all year long! Visit Spiritwear Shop to purchase spiritwear for your Sabre Cat and have it shipped directly to your home. Reminder that every Friday is School Spirit Day! Help your kiddos class bring home the spirit stick!
CULVER’S DINE OUT
Thank you to all the families who came out to support our first Dine Out Night! A portion of the money spent will go directly back to South Elementary. Be looking for future Dine Out Nights in upcoming communications. It is a great way to take the night off from cooking while supporting South!
