Dear Families,
We have had many parents stopping by during the day to drop off student materials. While we understand that mornings can be rushed and sometimes things are forgotten, we ask that you only drop off items that are absolutely necessary. We want to try our best to avoid interrupting classrooms during the learning day. Thank you for understanding.
Symmes Families-
Are you looking for a part-time job during the school day that would allow you to have summers and holiday breaks off? Symmes is looking for a part-time Playground Assistant to monitor students at recess. You would come to Symmes from 11:30 am - 2:30 pm and help to make sure our students are being safe and following the rules on the playground. If you are interested or know someone who is, please email our Assistant Principal, India Chambers-Richardson, at richardsoni@sycamoreschools.org.

Spring is in the air at Symmes. Our students are getting outside consistently for recess-- coats are turning into jackets, cold temps are on their way out and the grass is finally drying up! This week and next week our students are learning about our cafeteria expectations, again. It would be incredibly helpful to us if you could review these expectations with your student at home. Some overlapping “Be” expectations at home and school are:
Sit safely in your seat while you’re eating
Clean up after yourself
Use kind words at the table with a level 1 or 2 voice (our cafeteria gets loud quickly!)
Ask a grown-up for help if you need it
Respect what others are eating (no “ewes” or “gross”)
We appreciate your partnership with us as we continue to establish and refresh our building expectations.
