Home of the Little Giants - March 11, 2022
Each week the Little Giant News is published through an online Smore newsletter. In it, you will find important school and community information. Please take a moment each week to read and review this newsletter so that you can stay up to date on important events that are happening in your school and school district.
Congratulations to our Little Giants of the Week!
Each week our teachers recognize students that have worked hard, listened to their teachers, and have shown kindness to one another. Congratulations to our Little Giants of the Week!
Congratulations to our latest group of Little Giants that have mastered 100 sight words! We are so proud of their hard work and effort.
Spring Picture Day is Coming- Tuesday March 15, 2022
Students may dress up for Spring Pictures.
They may wear dress code or better, and do NOT have to wear their uniform.
Important Information About Chromebooks and Chargers
Parents, with the potential of bad weather, we will be sending home Chromebooks from time to time.
This is a reminder that Chromebooks and chargers should come back to school the next day. Students use their computers each day in class, so it's very important that they have them at school.
I would encourage parents to keep the Chromebook and charger in the backpack unless they are needed for e-learning. If these items are lost, parents will be charged for a replacement.
Fees:
Charger (damaged, missing)
$40
Chromebook (missing, stolen, damaged beyond repair)
$200

The 42nd Elementary Music Festival will be held at the Southport High School Fieldhouse on Thursday, March 24th at 7:00 PM. This year, we will not be selling tickets, but we will be accepting donations at the door. Please consider donating if you can to help us absorb the cost of the event.
