Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make Starstruck a success.  We loved watching the kids take the stage and perform.  Thank you to all of you who gave up tickets in order to help make sure everyone could attend.  We are lucky to have an amazing community of families! 

We hope that all of our students and families have a wonderful spring break.  Take time to relax, enjoy time together and read a good book.  We will see you on Tuesday, April 3rd.

Sargeant Families Blog - March 17th

Friday was a fun rainy day to celebrate reading!  

Students enjoyed our Forts, Flannels and Flashlight day. 

This week we had a surprise visit from officer Glynn of the Roseville PD. 

He stopped by to play with some of our kinders.  

Report cards went home Friday.  Please check your child's backpack. 

Parent Survey 

Feedback is important to help us continue to grow as a school.  Please take time to fill out the Sargeant Parent Survey for this school year.  It will be open all week and close at the end of the day on Friday, March 23rd.  Once you have completed the survey, please print out and send the page that states it's completed with your child (write their name on it) and he/she will get an Otter Pop.  You can also screenshot it and e-mail it to rpeck@rcsdk8.org with your child's name and class and Mrs. Peck will bring your child an Otter Pop.  We appreciate your time and feedback!

Registration for Next Year
We still have over 100 kids who have not registered online for next school year.  All students need to be registered online as a returning student.  Please go to the district's web site and choose the Parents icon.  From there choose Student Registration on the right hand side.  Then choose 2018-19 Returning Student Registration.  Please call the office if you have any questions.

Starstruck 
The kids have been working hard to learn their dance routine for this week's performances. The performance will be professionally video taped and DVDs will be able to be pre-purchased the night of the show. As of now, the forecast calls for rain.  Please make sure to bring and umbrella to keep dry while waiting in line.  Also, send one with your child so he/she can use it as they are walking to the stage to perform.  Pre-sale ticket envelopes are coming home with students on Monday.  Please check their backpacks.  

Update:  After tickets were created to hand out to kids, all shows are sold out. 

Please Vote!
We have the chance to earn $10,000 just by voting every day at MyScholarDollars.com.  Please share with friends and family.  It's easy to forget to vote so find a way to remind yourself. Maybe a post it on your computer, a reminder on your phone...just an idea. :)   It's the easiest fundraiser ever but we need many people to vote.

CAASPP Notification and Parent Letter (3rd-5th Grade)

Studies show the importance of reading and how valuable it is for all students.                    March is National Reading Month and we would like to celebrate it at Sargeant.    I encourage you all to find time daily to read with your child.  It may be reading to them, listening to them read or reading next to them (modeling adult reading is valuable too!). Reading aloud to children is also very valuable - no matter how old they are.  Not only does it support reading but it also provides a chance to have some quality time with your child. If you need good book recommendations, check with your child's teacher.

Spanish Class - Before School Enrichment  - Flyers went home this week for the before school enrichment class.  There is a class before school on Thursdays for 3rd-5th graders and one on Friday for K-2nd graders. Space is limited.

Sargeant Families Blog - March 2nd

March: Thinker

Students who are THINKERS work to solve problems independently.  They can imagine many solutions to a question or challenge.  Thinkers make good decisions and can predict the outcomes of their actions. They think creatively and critically.  

How can families help at home?

• Encourage your child to try to think of solutions to problems independently.
• Ask your child questions when they are working on a problem:

“Do you have any ideas about how we might begin?”

“How can we do this differently?”

“What other ways can you show that?”

“What made you think that?”

Thank you!
Thank you, Sargeant Families, for your incredible Cookie Dough orders. Student Council was able to donate $2,000 to Mrs. Kirkendall, and we will be purchasing two more recess picnic tables as well as a Memorial Bench to honor Néstor Boscán, who passed away last November. Thank you for supporting our Bulldogs!

Run for Roseville

Registration for the Run4Roseville is now open! You don't want to miss the Principal's Dash, Youth 1 Mile Run, Lil' Ones 100m Dash and the signature 5k race. Join the fun and help support our school district's teacher grants and incredible music program!
