Principal Lewis' Sunday Update for the week of 10/7/19
Did you know we have been in school for 39 days? That means we only have 37 more days until Thanksgiving Break.
Here are the announcements for this week:
Monday, October 7th at 7:50am, students in grades 1st-5th will meet their teachers up on the playground. We will have our BRAVO assembly, starting at 7:50am.
Tuesday, October 8th is our ELAC meeting at 8am at SMMS. Come hear about strategies to support English learners.
Thursday, October 10th is our annual SSC sponsored Parent Summit Learning Night. Here is a chance for you, as a parent, to gain valuable insight in to how your children learn and grow during their school years, and how you can support their learning and cultivate their confidence. With topics ranging from helping your kids to manage stress in your family, to demonstrations of what your kids actually do in the classroom with Chrome books, math games, and Writer's Workshop, there is something for every parent to learn! Look for the grid of session offerings and descriptions from last week’s Wednesday folder for all of the specifics.
Friday, October 11th is a pupil free day for Parent Conferences. Please confirm your parent conference with your kiddo’s teacher.
