There is still time to get your 2019 Walk-a-Thon T-shirts! Please return your completed Family Packets to school by this Friday, September 20th to get t-shirts for every SPB K-8 student in your family.

Clinic Corner
Just a friendly reminder that if your child is sent home after vomiting, having diarrhea, or having a fever, please keep your child home for 24 hours after the last episode so that we can prevent the spread of these germs. Thank you for your help always in keeping our students healthy.
Playground/Lunchroom Volunteer Sign Ups
The links to sign up for playground/lunchroom supervision for parents/guardians of students in Grades 7-8 are now live!
We are asking that each family (mom, dad, grandma, etc.) choose at least two days to volunteer each time slot being 11:00-1:00. We are so grateful for the help!
This is a great way for you to interact with your child and his/her classmates during the school day! Lunch/Recess Volunteers should arrive to school at 11:00 and check in at the office. Duties will include supervising students at recess, escorting students to the cafeteria from recess, and supervising in the cafeteria. Volunteers will be with one teacher and two "core" volunteers each day to help direct. Remember that after your two volunteer time slots, you are done for the year, as each month is assigned to a different grade.
Thank you again for your time and service to the students and teachers of SPB! Simply click on the grade level link to pick a time convenient for you: Grade 8 or Grade 7
