Susie Dasher Elementary School
Week of December 4th
Level Up, Imagineers!
Level Up with PRIDE - Week #18🎮
Greetings, STEAM Family!
We have made it to the final weeks of the first semester of the 2023-2024 school year, and we are all eagerly looking forward to the Christmas Break! Before highlighting all of the festivities that are taking place during these final weeks, we would like to first thank all of our parents/guardians who were able to attend our S’Mores Read-In & Family Literacy Night. It was a great success, and our families were able to have lots of fun while learning helpful strategies that can be used throughout the break to help our scholars reach their individual reading goals by the end of the school year. As a gentle reminder, our school wide growth goal is for each student to increase his/her overall reading (and math score) by at least 10 points by the end of the year on our various benchmarks (Acadience, Reading Inventory, Math Inventory).
This week, we are excited to kick off our celebration of the holiday season with our “Holiday Happenings” dress up days. Participation is completely voluntary for eligible students and staff; however, feel free to review the attached flyer so that you may plan accordingly should you choose for your child to participate. Also, be reminded this week is the final week of the after school program for this semester. Please ensure arrangements have been made for your child(ren) to travel home their usual way. Finally, we look forward to hosting our 2nd – 4th grade families for our Holiday Luncheon on this Thursday, December 7th during the lunch waves. Due to limited space, RSVP is required. Please see the flyer below.
On behalf of the students and staff of Susie Dasher Elementary, we would like to wish all of our stakeholders a Safe and Happy Holiday Season!

Remember, every minute really counts!
- Weekly grade level newsletters will be sent home each Monday, so please check your child's folder and/or book bag.
- The dress code will be enforced DAILY at SDE! Any "Dress Down" days will be communicated in advance.
