Sargeant Families Blog - August 19th-23rd

We love reading at Sargeant! Lots of reading going on throughout the school this week. We encourage you to read nightly with your child. They can read to you, you can read to them, or you both can read independently (so they can see you reading too!).




Pick Up After School
The past couple of days have been a little hectic on North Cirby after school. Here are a few reminders:
- Please keep the bus loading area clear. We have two buses that come in after school to pick kids up.
- If you are along the curb by the cones that say "No Stopping" then once the pick up loop starts moving after school, you are expected to move with it. This is not an area to park and wait for your child. This is a No Parking area. We understand that cars will be parked until 3:15, but once the lines starts moving, everyone should be moving.


This the the area where people are getting into the pick up loop. 

- If you come to pick up and the line is not moving, please do not double park. There were two lines of double parked cars waiting for the bell to ring and this prevents any traffic from going by safely. If you arrive to school and cars are already there, please park further down the street until it is safe to move forward.

After School Enrichment
Star Nova After School Enrichment - Wednesdays after school




Young Rembrandts (Art Class) - Mondays After School
At Young Rembrandts we teach children to draw- the fundamental skill of all visual arts. We are the only Art Enrichment program that teaches art, using a methodology specifically designed to improve student perception, visualization and organizational skills. As a result, students show dramatic improvement in their drawing abilities, expand their art vocabulary and art history knowledge, demonstrate patience, discipline and focus, and improve their attention to detail and sequencing skills. COME DRAW WITH US! (Click the link in the title for more information.)



Musical
It's that time of the year for our musical auditions. Applications are now available for 3rd-5th graders and due no later than Friday, August 30th by 12:30. Below is the front page of the application. If your child is interested, make sure they talk to their teacher about an application.

Sargeant Families Blog Post - August 12th - 16th

We had a great first two days of the school year last week. 😀We are fortunate that you allow us to share your children with you on a daily basis. They are wonderful!


Thank you for your patience and understanding with the construction around the school. This week it should all be finished and cleared up.

Starting Monday, we ask that all students be dropped off at the gate and parents do not go on campus unless they check in with the office.  TK will be dropped off at their gate by room 15, kinder will line up outside their playground, and 1st-5th will enter the back gate by the park or the gate by the multi.  If you stay with your kinder out front, when the teacher walks them through the front door of the school, please don't follow them in.  We want to make sure we account for the adults on our campus so if you are staying to volunteer, please check in at the office. 


On the first day of school you received a packet of information. It is important that you read,
complete, and return the following by Friday, August 16th to your child’s teacher:


  1. Social Media Form (blue)
  2. Annual Parent Notice/Internet Agreement (white)
  3. Field Trip Permission Slip to Willard Dietrich Park (yellow)


Many of you are involved in the school, and we cannot thank you enough for your time and
dedication to Sargeant.  Without you, many of the things at Sargeant would not be possible.
If you would like to be more involved, we encourage you to become a volunteer in the classroom
and/or join our Parent Teacher Club (PTC).  Our PTC does an amazing job organizing events and
they could use your help!  


Front Parking Lot Reminder
Please use the crosswalks when walking your child to the front of the school. Do not cross in the middle of cars dropping their children off. There is a partial crosswalk by the kinder playground at the front of the drop off and another one by the gate near the multi purpose room. Thank you.

Sargeant Families Blog - August 5th -9th

Welcome Back Message from Principal Peck


First Days of School
On Thursday and Friday of the first week of school, you will be allowed to walk your child to their classroom.  Please make sure you designate a meeting spot after school as the gates will be closed until the bell rings.  Starting Monday, August 12th, all students will have to be dropped off at the gates and they will enter on their own.  At 8:35, 1st-5th graders are allowed to be on the playground. We do not have them enter the main part of campus as it is unsupervised.  At 8:45 the bell rings to head to class.  This is also when the back gate is locked by staff and kids arriving after need to head to the front of the school.  It's highly encouraged to be here before 8:45.  This allows class to start at the beginning of the day which is 8:50.

Drop Off and Pick Up
With the start of the new year, it's a great time to go over reminders for drop off and pick up.  If you are coming from the back side of school on N. Cirby, the drop off and pick up line typically starts there (depending on the time your arrive).  This line moves slowly so please be patient.  Since this is a moving line, please don't stay parked along the curb or leave your car unattended. 





When pulling into the parking lot, please use one lane only.  If cars are trying to turn left from Ridgecrest into the parking lot, please be courteous and allow them in.  When you arrive to the front of the school, please pull all the way forward.  You may drop your child off when you are in front of the sidewalk; then wait until the cars pull forward in front of you and follow them out of the parking lot.  We prefer that you are not going around cars and forming two lanes.  This makes it dangerous for drivers and pedestrians.  If everyone is following the procedure, it won't take too long to get you out of the parking lot.

one lane of cars - pull all the way forward if there is room

If you park your car on the street and walk your child to the front of the school, please use the crosswalk by the multi purpose room or the partial one by the kinder playground.  Do no cut through cars as it is very unsafe.
