The Round-Up
The Sonoma Ranch Elementary School Principal's Newsletter
Year 7 Issue 217
We Engage We Educate We Inspire
This past week was filled with successes, large and small. One of our students in primary SPICE mastered sequencing. Our 6th graders learned how to write algebraic expressions. In 2nd grade the caterpillars arrived and everyone is super excited. Each and every day amazing things happen here at the Ranch.
This week is the District Spelling Bee! We all wish Claire Martinez good luck as she represents the Ranch. We know she will do a great job!
I will continue to share the new alternating hybrid schedule each week in the Round-Up. Please find it below.

On days that students do not come to campus, normal school attendance rules still apply. Students need to log into Buzz for attendance to be taken. If students don't access Buzz by midday, an email is automatically generated and sent as a reminder. If students do not log into Buzz that day, they are marked absent for the day.

Lunch (and breakfast) is Free
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has extended free meals for children 18 years and younger until further notice to help ensure all children have access to nutritious food as the country recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gilbert Public Schools will provide combo meals at no cost to students for breakfast and lunch. A combo meal includes an entree, fruit and/or vegetable and beverage (milk and/or juice).
We certainly encourage our families to take advantage of this opportunity.
