Sand Ridge "Shark Bites" Update
October 31, 2021 - Issue #10
So many wonderful things happened last week at Sand Ridge!!
- Our first "On-Site" Book Fair since fall of 2019 was a tremendous success! Thank you for your support and thank you to those families that joined us for Parent Night at the Book Fair!
- Our students showed up in a variety of fantastic costumes on Friday! We had fun and also supported a great cause through donations! Thank you for your participation.
- The high school drumline, football players and cheerleaders welcomed our students to school on Friday to get everyone excited for Sand Ridge Night at Pirate Football. I hope you were able to cheer on the Pirates!
Happening this week:
- First grading period report cards will be issued tomorrow (Monday, Nov. 1st). Also included will be information about the art fundraiser.
- Teachers are in the process of scheduling and holding fall conferences. They have been asked to meet with parents/guardians of EACH student this fall. Please be responsive to your child's teacher when they reach out and work with them to set up an in-person or telephone conference.
- In-person, grade level awards for the first grading period will be held on Thursday, November 4th. Please remember that ALL visitors to Sand Ridge Elementary are REQUIRED to wear facemasks.
Coming up soon:
- Our Annual Veterans Day Luncheon is Returning! We are very excited to be able to host this even this year. We will be holding this on Monday, November 15th. Invitations and information will be forthcoming. We will also be sending out a signup request for parents to help with donations of dessert items for our event. Be on the lookout!
It's going to be another great week with our SHARKS!
