Sand Ridge Elementary School

Hello Shark Families!

January came to a close this past week. Students participated in the CandyMan game truck on Monday, Report Cards came home on Tuesday. Students participated in the 2nd 9 weeks awards ceremony on Friday and Sand Ridge students attended the High School Basketball game on Friday evening.

This week will be the Soup-er Bowl on Tuesday, and an Early Release Professional Development day on Thursday. Student dismissal will begin at 12:10. The week ends with several SRE students participating in All County Chorus on Saturday. This week is also School Counselor Week. Be sure to let our school counselor ,Mrs. Burney (tynesha.burney@onslow.k12.nc.us), know how much we appreciate her.

SRE's annual SOUPerbowl is this Tuesday, February 7th from 5:30-7:00. The event is hosted by the Sand Ridge Odyssey of the Mind Team. Donations are accepted during the event. All donations will be split between the Odyssey of the Mind team and our local soup kitchen. Staff will cook soups and the school community will judge the soups.

I can't wait to see everyone on Monday!

All parents are encouraged to sign up for Parent Portal. You can monitor attendance within the Portal and you can see your child's grades, assignments & due dates for students in grades 3-5. Click this link to sign up: https://onslow.powerschool.com/public/. You can contact the data manager Patty Cole at Patty.Cole@onslow.k12.nc.us to help with this process. She can look up your child's ID number when you email her the completed form and copy of your ID.

1. The teacher is always the first point of contact. If you cannot resolve an issue after meeting with the teacher, please schedule an appointment to meet with administration.

2. See our data manager (Patty Cole) to sign up for Parent Portal. This gives you up to date info on student attendance and assignments.

3. Pay attention to the weekly ALL CALL and EMAIL that is sent out every Sunday evening. If you are not receiving the call and email, please let Patty Cole (patty.cole@onslow.k12.nc.us) know so that we can make sure your info. is up to date. This is the method that we will use to communicate with parents in the event of an emergency, so you need to make sure that you are receiving these calls.

6. If there are custody issues, we must have a copy of the current custody paperwork on file with a judge's signature. If not, both parents have equal access to the student and their educational records.

7. If you have concerns regarding bus routes, stops, schedules and drivers, please direct those concerns to our transportation coordinator Barbie Massey at 326-1436. SRES does not have direct communication with the buses; therefore, this must go through the transportation dept. Please remember if you would like to stay up to date with bus changes and delays, please download the Edulog Parent Portal App. More info can be found here:https://www.onslow.k12.nc.us/Page/1266

Are you looking for a quick and easy way to support our school? Box Tops for Education has been around for over 25 years, and it really can make a difference. In fact, the Box Tops program has helped give almost one billion dollars to schools since 1996.

The Box Tops app gives participants the ability to earn for any school across the country with just the touch of a button. HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Buy participating products and use the Box Tops app to scan your store receipt. The app identifies eligible products and earnings are credited to your designated school online. Even if you’re shopping online or doing grocery pickup, you can still submit your digital or email receipt with the Box Tops app and earn. Twice a year, our school gets a check!

See a list of participating products at BTFE.COM/PRODUCTS Box Tops earnings really add up, and the more people that participate, the bigger the impact we can make. Together, we can help make a big difference.
