I am thankful for the support from our Sargeant Families. We appreciate all that you do every day at home and at our school. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving spending time with family and friends.

Learner Profile Attribute for November is Courageous
Students who are COURAGEOUS try to solve problems in a lot of ways. They are brave when they defend their beliefs to others.
How can families help at home?
- If your child is feeling uneasy about trying something, encourage them to attempt it and then reflect on whether they liked the activity and how it felt to try something new.
- Encourage your child to try something new: food, sport, book, or activity.
Two easy ways to support Sargeant without selling anything to friends, family and co-workers: Amazon Smile and Box Tops! If you already use Amazon to shop, sign up with Amazon Smile. Checkout the flyer for steps on how to set up and account that connects to our PTC. Simple and easy! Anyone can do it...share with friends and family.
Continue collecting Box Tops all year long! If items you purchase have the Box Top label, cut it out and send it in.
GATE Testing
The 2018-2019 school year GATE identification test will be administered at the District Office for students currently in 2nd – 7th grade. The students will take the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test, OLSAT, that tests abstract thinking and reasoning ability. Students must attend one of the testing dates on the OLSAT Parent Permission Form in order to complete the testing by the district. The Parent Permission Forms will be made available on November 13, 2017 on our district website @ www.rcsdk8.org under the “Parent” tab. All forms must be returned to the District Office by January 5, 2018 if you would like your student tested. There are no exceptions as materials are ordered based on the number of returned forms. Make sure you check the district website under the “Parents” tab for more information regarding GATE services and testing.
