Morning Car Line Reminders
2. The only entry point for joining the car line is at the main entrance (the one with the red light).
3. Please stay in your car. You do not need to help children out--we can help if necessary. Or you may park and walk your child to the front door.
4. Pull all the way to the end of the drop off area.
5. Students should be ready to exit the vehicle.
6. We have a high volume of morning car riders since the buses are running early. Leave early--at 7:10 you will pull right through.
7. Be nice. Follow the rules. Be courteous to one another and staff.

FERPA Directory Release/Opt Out Process
This information can be found in the Code of Conduct on pages 66-67.
ALL families are required to review the Code of Conduct and Student Handbook. All students above 10 years of age and their parents, guardians, or other person having control or charge of the child is asked to digitally sign acknowledging receipt of the Code of Conduct and Student Handbook. Currently, 42% of our families have completed this important process.
Parents and students are able to digitally sign by using their online portal or the app on their smartphone/device. Attached is a document that includes a step-by-step “how to” guide for completing the digital signature process. Please ensure your family has signed off on the Code of Conduct and Student Handbook by August 31st.
A change in this year's Code of Conduct, please make note that all personal communication devices, including cell phones, are not allowed during the school day.
Student Success Skills
Student Success Skills Student Inventory
The Student Success Skills Inventory is used to measure student growth across Student Success Skill standards as a result of ReThink Ed lessons. The SSS Inventory is about 15-20 items and administered to 3rd-5th grade students in the Fall and Spring.
If you have any questions about the SSS Inventory, please contact your school’s Student Success Skills Champion! Parents can choose to opt their student out of the inventory. To opt out, parents must submit a written request to the school principal.

Chick-Fil-A
Calling all Chick-Fil-A Chicken Biscuit lovers! Rather than hosting a Spirit Night (which we still may do!), we're bringing the food straight to the school, the kiddos, the teachers and staff, and you!
Friday, September 9th, before the start of school, we'll be selling chicken biscuits at the entrances (front and back) of the school. We will sell each for $5; CASH ONLY PLEASE! All proceeds fund the school. All biscuits feed each consumer's belly. We will sell until we run out of supply and adjust future quantities in response to demand.
This will be a monthly recurring event. Starting in October, Chicken Biscuit Day will likely shift to the first Friday.
Birthday Banner
Celebrate your student's birthday with a birthday announcement on the school’ s outdoor LED sign! The birthday name will be displayed for one (1) week starting on Monday. Half birthdays can be celebrated too for those summer birthdays :). The cost for this opportunity is $20 per birthday. When you sign up, please include the student's First name and Last Name Initial.
CASTING CALL--Volunteering Opportunities
PTA Volunteers Needed
Are you interested in volunteering at a PTA event but do not want to lead a committee? We are always looking for some helping hands!
Carpool Helpers Needed
Let's pitch in to give our amazing teachers a reprieve from carpool. We are seeking help during AM drop-off and PM pick-up. All volunteers will be provided a super snazzy reflective vest during their shifts. Thanks to all who can help!
This will be a recurring event on Wednesdays throughout the school year.
PTA Green Committee Volunteers Needed
Whether you have a green thumb, or know nothing about plants/gardening/sustainability and just want to help out or connect with other SBCE parents…
Whether you want to spend a little time or a lot…
The PTA Green Committee welcomes you!
Parent Volunteers Needed
Seeking parent volunteers to copy, laminate, and organize these materials! The response thus far has been AMAZING! We're still in the thick of it, so if you're available to volunteer, please email Ms. Gruber to schedule your first visit. Previous volunteers can continue to come and go as your schedule allows.
If you are unable to volunteer during school hours but open to helping from home (cutting, bagging), please email Ms. Gruber.
