11/29/21-12/3/21

It is my sincerest hope that you and your family had a wonderful Fall Break. We are returning with full hearts and ready minds!  The next three weeks will be filled with reconnecting, listening, learning, AND celebrating.  

Early Release Day tomorrow

This is a reminder that school gets out early on Mondays!  Dismissal tomorrow is 2:00 pm. 

Chips for Kids Toy Drive

We are collecting new, unwrapped toys to donate to children in need.  You can find a donation bin in our front office.  

Safety

Please drive safely in and around our school.  This includes driving the speed limit, watching out for pedestrians, coming to a complete stop at stop signs, and driving slowly through the parking lot at drop-off and pick-up.  It is important to be patient and understanding as you wait in line.  There are many families who help get a child into or out of their car.  There is no need to jump ahead in the line or speed.  Our school runs an efficient process.  Typically the parking lot is cleared within 8 minutes of dismissal.  That’s great!  Thank you for your cooperation.  

Upcoming Fundraisers on 12/8

• Mandarins for sale: We will have mandarins for sale in front of the school on Wednesday, 12/8 at 3:15. 

• Panda Express Dine-out.  Our dine-out fundraiser runs from 10am-10pm.  Mention Sargeant to earn our school some money!

11/15/21-11/20/21

This is an exciting time for us to work with our families to build our community.  Please enjoy this time with your child’s teacher.  Ask questions, enjoy stories about your child’s learning adventure and find out ways you can continue to support your child at home with his/her learning.

 CLOCKS MOVED BACK!  

With it getting darker earlier and our weather continuing to change, it is crucial that children are getting enough sleep and ready for school each day.  Please be sure to send a jacket or sweatshirt to school with your child.  The weather has proven to be temperamental lately and can change on a dime.  We are continuing to encourage students to make healthy decisions….whether that is food, clothing or sleep related.  Routines are key for helping children function and to come prepared to learn each day.  We are here to support you!

La Clase de Espanol con Señora Neira

Please take a look here to read about the content being taught in Spanish this month.

Math Before Bed: We all know the importance of literacy and incorporating reading into daily routines at home. However, have you considered ways to promote mathematical reasoning and strong number sense at home too? Mathbeforebed.com is a great resource to help spark discussions about math with your child and family at home! Click here to check out a quick video of Ms. Ellison explaining the site. Happy problem-solving! 

Dine Out Fundraiser this week!

Please visit Leatherby’s Tuesday, 11/9, and show this flyer to earn money for our school.  They have great food and AMAZING ice cream.  

Lost & Found

Please stop by and check the lost and found.  We have LOTS of water bottles, masks, and clothing that are missing homes.  Lost & Found is located inside the quad area.  The best area to check it is before or after school.  If you need to check it at another time, please just come into the office and we can help you with this. 

Early Release 2:00

Tomorrow’s dismissal is 2:00.  Thank you for your continued support!

Sargeant Needs Your Help!

ELAC 

Attention parents: We need you for our English Language Advisory Committee.  This committee is responsible for the following tasks:

• Advising the principal and staff in the development of a site plan for English learners and submitting the plan to the School Site Council for consideration of inclusion in the School Plan for Student Achievement.

• Assisting in the development of the schoolwide needs assessment.

• Ways to make parents aware of the importance of regular school attendance.

Our first ELAC meeting is scheduled for 12/7/21 at 4:30 via zoom. 

School Site Council

We are in need of 2 additional parents to be on our School Site Council.  This group meets 5 times a year (we have already met once) to read, recommend and approve our Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) and to help make decisions about the needs of our school.  It is important to have parent representation.  Our next meeting is scheduled for 12/7/21 at 3:30 via zoom.  

*If you are interested in being on either of these committees please email Julie Murdaugh at jmurdaugh@rcsdk8.org  

Canned Food Drive

We are currently collecting canned foods for those in need.  Your child’s teacher has a box in her classroom and we are collecting through next Friday, 11/19.  Please donate if you are able.
