Principal Lewis' Sunday Update for 8/13/18
Sunday Call for week of August 13th, 2018
Good evening Sierra Madre Families, this is Mrs. Lewis, your principal. I hope that you have had a wonderful summer and are feeling rejuvenated to start the 2018-2019 school year at SME!
It was nice to see many of you at the Welcome Back Event yesterday at Memorial Park. Those of you that were not able to attend, you can go on the school website at sme.pusd.us to see the class lists, or come Monday morning and look at the bulletin board in the north end of the main hallway. We will also have a way for you to fill out the Volunteer Directory Form, AFB Donations Form and PTA membership. PTA membership envelopes and AFB Donation envelopes are also on the table outside of the main office if you would rather fill them out by hand.
As you plan for tomorrow morning drop off, please remember our traffic plan. Student drop-off will be on Auburn St. and pick up will be on Highland Ave. Do not leave your car unattended. If you wish to leave your car and accompany your child to their classroom, please park on side streets. Please be considerate of neighbors by not blocking driveways, moving trashcans or parking in the Bethany Christian School parking lot. Please be sure to use designated cross-walks to cross the street. Also, use a pedestrian entry to the campus, on Auburn or at one of the south corners of Highland Ave. Students should not walk through or be dropped off in the staff parking lot, even if escorted by an adult. School entrances will be on Auburn through the compass and Highland via the front door.
Here are the announcements for this week:
Monday, August 13th students in grades 1st-3rd will meet their teachers up on the playground, 4th and 5th graders on the compass, and Kindergarten students in their classroom between 7:35am-7:45am. All students will follow their teachers to their classrooms at 7:50am. If you arrive tardy, please stop by the office for classroom locations.
Also on Monday, PTA is hosting a New Family Coffee Meet and Greet in the Arts Discovery Room at 8am, upstairs in room 201. Please come meet other new families and ask questions. Immediately following, we will have our first volunteer orientation starting at 8:30am run by our community assistant, Maureen Davis.
Don’t forget, we have early dismissal on Mondays at 12:35pm on the front grass. Kindergarten students need to be picked up from their classrooms
Tuesday, August 14th through Friday, August 17th, school starts at 7:50am and dismisses at 2:15pm.
For more event information, please be sure to visit our school website at www.sme.pusd.us
We are excited to see all of our students tomorrow morning at SME where we launch our journey of nurturing learners, and growing leaders.
And now, for this week’s riddle. What does a principal eat for breakfast?
Don’t forget to stop by my office to check the white board on my door for the answer to this week’s riddle.
See you tomorrow morning! Bye Bye!
