Weekly Newsletter
SST-Spring Clubs start on Monday, October 7
We are so excited to let you know that we started to receive our morning and after school club applications! As you know, we do offer after-school clubs. You do have to SIGN UP for clubs EVERY semester.
The cost of each club is $40 per club if the club is one day a week, $60 per club if you choose the same club two days a week, and $75 per club if you choose the same club three days or more a week for the 1st semester only.
1st-semester clubs will start on Monday, October 7, 2019, and end on Thursday, December 19, 2019. A student may not participate in a club if he/she is assigned a tutorial for the same day/time. Clubs are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. If a club is full, the student will be put on a waiting list for his or her preferred club. In order for your child to participate in a club, you must first fill out the application online and then pay the correct amount for each club (in the form of a money order or credit/ debit card) to the front office. Once the registration and payment are complete, you will not be able to change a club or get a refund. If the club has low enrollment of five students or below the club will be canceled. At that time the parent has a choice of enrolling that child into another club or get a refund. SST WILL NOT PROVIDE BUS TRANSPORTATION FOR STUDENTS IN THE CLUBS AFTER SCHOOL!

Donation for Champion Life Centre
Dear SST family and friends,
We would like to show our appreciation by collecting a monetary cash donation for Champion Life Centre for allowing SST to use their location during arrival and dismissal. Our goal is to collect $500; you may send the money with your child in an envelope with Champion Life Centre written on it, hand it to one of the front office staff, or any administrator. We will begin collecting monetary donations starting on Thursday, September 26, 2019, and stop collecting donations on Thursday, October 24, 2019. We really believe with your help we can achieve our goal.
Meal Balance
We have been made aware of continuing concern over Breakfast procedures. May, we kindly remind you that in order for students to receive a breakfast meal; the student must arrive between 7:00 am to 7:30 am. The only exception will be made for students abroad in the first and second busses. All other children will be redirected to their Homeroom Classrooms. In the event that you may be running late, please be sure that your child has had breakfast prior to arriving at school to avoid any further inconveniences. Also, we have had a few parents make a request for their child not to eat breakfast. However, our policy states that we must feed children who request a meal as long as they are in compliance with our tardy policy. In addition, please check your kid's lunch balance through School Cafe and if there is any remaining balance, please make a payment online as soon as possible.
Thanks!
Birthday Celebration
We would like to share SST-Spring birthday celebration policy: students may celebrate their birthday in the classrooms on the last Friday of each month starting at 2:00 P.M. Please adhere to the nutrition guideline; all items must be store-bought and individually wrapped.
Please, check the Snack Calculator to learn more about approved snacks:
