Community Connection: August 9-August 13

Dear Sargeant Families,

We had a successful two days!!! 

Thank you parents and guardians for your support as we begin our school year.  We appreciated your smiles, donations of supplies, and kind Welcome Back gifts for our staff.  We had many families at Back-to-School Night and it was wonderful to see and feel the excitement!  We are underway for a GREAT YEAR! 




Campus Safety:

Please check in at the office any time you are visiting campus.  If you are interested in visiting or volunteering regularly, you must fill out volunteer forms.  Your child’s teacher (or the school office) can provide these to you if you are interested.  


Here is a link to our bell schedule.


Masks: Thank you for all of your support with mask-wearing.  Children and teachers are expected to wear masks while indoors in the classroom.  We have extras and will provide one if/when a child does not have one or loses one throughout the day.  Please encourage your child to take masks breaks while out at recess.  We are encouraging mask breaks to help our students adjust and to encourage them to drink water during these hot days.  


Arrival and Dismissal:

  • ONLY for students eating breakfast: The cafeteria (in the multi-purpose room) is open at 8:15.  Students must remain in the cafeteria until the 8:35 bell.  Kindergarten students must wait in line outside of their classroom until school begins at 8:50. 

  • For students not eating breakfast, the campus opens at 8:35.  Students should not be on campus before 8:35, as there is no supervision.  

  • Upon arrival, students are expected to enter campus through the side gate to the left of the school entrance (near the multi-purpose room) or at the rear gate (through the park).  If students arrive prior to the 8:35 bell they are expected to wait outside the gate until the bell rings.  

  • Parents: we have a closed campus for safety and security.  Please drop your child(ren) off at one of these two gates and do not enter campus.  We appreciate your support.  




Parent-Teacher Club:

Please show your support for our school by participating in our PTC.  Here is their awesome and informative website where you can join PTC, order spirit wear, and find out about events.  Our PTC helps fund programs and events that enhance education, school spirit, and community connectedness.  Help support our school by checking out their website and finding out more about Amazon Smile, Box Tops for education and MORE!





Sargeant Mental Health Specialist:

We are so lucky to have Rio Poliquin this year as our full-time Mental Health Specialist.  She works with students in a variety of capacities.  She is funded through a grant from the Placer County Office of Education, PCOE.  The goal of the grant is to support school sites with increasing access to mental health services, building community, and increasing social-emotional learning. If you feel like your child is struggling with an issue or you would like support from Rio, please fill out this form.
