Dear Team Sheiko,

It is so important for us to work together in partnership to support the growth of our students, so I appreciate you making the time to connect with your child's teacher and thank of all of our teachers for their time and preparation as well! If you were not able to connect with your child's teacher during conferences, please email them for an update on your child's academic and social progress.
As we look ahead to next week, this is a friendly reminder that there is NO SCHOOL on Wednesday, November 23rd-Friday, November 25th. I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with your loved ones. I'm thankful for your children and the relationships that we've created throughout my time here at Sheiko!

Outdoor Recess Clothing Reminders
It looks like our luck has run out and the colder weather is here to stay! Please be sure to send your child to school with a proper jacket, gloves and hat for the colder temperatures. In addition, you can also send in boots/snow pants for the colder, snowy days.
Please note that students are not permitted to play in the snow unless they have snow pants. If you need assistance with winter clothing, please contact the office: 248-865-6370.
Please label items with your child's first and last name.
In addition to winter gear, please send in an extra change of clothes for your student(s) to keep in their locker.
Front Parking Lot Reminder
The front parking lot is for busses only from 8:30 AM-9:20 AM and 3:30 PM-4:30 PM. Please do not pull into the front parking lot during these times. If you need to enter the building during these time frames, please park in the carline lot next to the building and walk to the front door. Thank you for helping us ensure the safety of all students during arrival and dismissal!
