Principal Lewis' Sunday Update for the week of 11/8/20
Sunday Call for week of November 16th, 2020
Good evening Sierra Madre Families, this is Mrs. Lewis, your principal. We have made it to the middle of November and have this week before a week away from school. Although this has been a very different start to the school year, I am thankful for the ability to check on all of the kiddos virtually. Thank you for trusting in our ability to provide a rigorous learning environment for your kiddo, even while remote.
Here are the announcements for this week:
Wednesday, November 18th we will have a SSC meeting at 4pm. The teacher reps will discuss strategies they are using to engage students during this remote time. Click on the link in the SMORE.
Other Announcements
Canvas page updates
This week I’ll be featuring a book called And Tango Makes Three by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell, illustrated by Henry Cole. Check out my family discussion ideas for after the read aloud.
PUSD Survey
Please take a moment to fill out the PUSD survey, www.pusd.us/survey, about returning in person or staying remote. If you do not know your kiddos student ID number, and they don’t remember it, you can either look it up on Parent Portal, or you can call the office. In order to accurately set up potential in person cohorts, it is important that I have as many survey answers as possible.
