Sargeant Families Blog September 23rd-27th

The district maintenance crew has been hard at work this week renovating
our ball walls.  They look great!

Chick Fil A Night 

Thank you for coming out to support Sargeant at the CHick Fil A night.  We raised just over $400 to support our musical for this year.  It was a fun night, and we can't wait for the next one in January!

Site Council
We are looking for one more representative for the Site Council Committee.  The Site Council meets 4-5 times throughout the year to look over the school's site plan, academic data, parent survey and safety plan.  We meet on Wednesdays at 3:30.  Please e-mail Principal Peck at rpeck@rcsdk8.org if you are interested.

Academic Vocab
Academic vocabulary is the vocabulary that helps students navigate complex text in all content areas.  They are the words that are in questions and directions that can sometimes mix kids up and make it difficult for them to understand. Starting this week we will be teaching all 3rd-5th graders one academic word a week.  They will be talking about it in class and trying to use it on their own.  We will share the word for the upcoming week in this blog as well. Next week's word: Analyze.

Don't Forget...
