Other Announcements
Canvas page updates
This week in the Diverse Book Room, I’ll be featuring a book called Annie’s Plaid Shirt by Stacy B. Davids and Rachael Balsaitis.
This book focuses on gender norms, identity, individuality, tolerance, and self-esteem. Check out my family discussion ideas for after the read aloud.
To review books that I have already featured, click on the book icon below the couch.
Yearbook Picture Parent Links
In order to streamline pictures for the Yearbook, moving forward, please upload your pictures for the yearbook to the following links, by topic.
I will move all of the pictures you have previously shared to my email soon so there is no need to duplicate photos you have already sent me.
Spotlight Awards
Don’t forget to check out the Spotlight Awards for February on the Welcome to SME Canvas page, or click on the link in the SMORE.
African American History Bee
Good luck to our 6 students that will represent SME at the virtual African American History Bee this week on February 24th at 5pm.
Upcoming Material Distribution Day
We will be having a contactless distribution of materials on March 2, 3 and 4 from 4:00-5:30 pm. Students will receive fit and fab materials, a book and a mask all donated by PTA.
We will also be handing out new art supplies and information on how to check out books from the school library.
If you have students in multiple grade levels, for example, one in Kinder and one in 3rd grade, please plan on picking up materials on March 4.
Parent Survey
PUSD will be re-sending out the parent survey for plans to return in person. If you have already filled it out, you can do it again if you want to update your response.
If you have not yet filled it out, please do so, so that we can set up classrooms with the appropriate amount of desks and PPE.
For more event information, please be sure to visit our school website at sme.pusd.us
We are excited to see all of our students tomorrow morning virtually where we launch our journey of nurturing learners, and growing leaders.
And now, for this week’s riddle.
What word begins and ends with an E but only has one letter?
Don’t forget to look at the very bottom of the SMORE for my riddle answer.
Please continue to stay healthy and safe! Bye Bye!
