Sargeant Families Blog - February 24th

Thank you to all the people who helped make last night's Father Daughter dance a memorable experience.  We appreciate your help and support!

Save the Date!!

Students perform in two shows on one night.  Below is the schedule for the night.  Save the date your child will be performing.  It's an event you don't want to miss!  More information will be coming home in the upcoming weeks.  

Have you turned in your intent forms?

Pink intent forms were sent home and we need them back.  This paper allows us to start planning enrollment for next school year.  If you haven't returned them, please do so as soon as possible.  This does not count for registration.  You still need to go online and register your child for next year.  Please see the information below if you haven't completed the online registration.

IB Corner - February's Attribute

Students who are KNOWLEDGEABLE  have explored relevant and significant

concepts and can apply this knowledge to new situations.  

How can families help at home?

• Encourage your child to read books at home that correspond with the topics being covered in school.
• Encourage your child to read books at home in your home language.
• Ask your child about what they are learning in school and engage them in conversations about it:

“Why do you think that is an important thing to know about?”

Girls on the Run 
Unfortunately we will not have a Girls on the Run team this year as we didn't have enough girls sign up in order to make a full team.  We will try again next year.

Letters of Intent

This week letters of intent went out in Wednesday folders. We are asking that they be turned back in to your child's teacher by February 9th.  This does not register your child for next school year, you still need to go online and register them. 

Academic Talent Search (ATS)   and  Registration Form

Forms are available in the office or linked to this blog.  All forms are due no later than February 16th.  If you are signing your child up, please make sure to bring the $15 to the district office on the day your child takes the test.  

Rock Garden

Our future location 

During the fall students listened to the book Only One You and then painted a rock.  We are going to create a rock garden and need some help.  After school on Friday we will be moving some current rocks to create space for the garden.  If you can help, please fill out this form.  If we can get 10 people, we could get it done pretty quickly. The form will close after we have 10 people signed up as work space is limited.  

Garden Example

Helping our Community 
The 8th graders at Eich are working on a community service project and we are hoping to help them out.  We have two groups collecting socks and towels.  The socks are for homeless shelters in our area and the towels are for the Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue.  If you can help, please drop off socks or towels to the boxes in front of the office.  Thank you.
