August 22-26 - Sargeant Parent Blog

 August 22-26


Principal's Message:


Thank you for an amazing week, Bulldogs!  I have loved meeting students and parents throughout the week.  I am so honored to be part of this amazing community.  Over the next two weeks, I will be in classrooms reading with students and continuing my efforts to build relationships and make connections with our Bulldogs.

August IB Attribute: Caring


Students show empathy, compassion and respect towards the needs and feelings of others.  They have a personal commitment to service, and act to make a positive difference to the lives of others and to the environment.

Students who are CARING want people around them to be happy and treat others how they want to be treated. They think about the world and work to take care of their community and the environment.  


How can families help at home?

  • Role model the caring behavior you would like to see in your child all the time. Using kind words, helping people without being asked, and being an active listener all show your child that you care about people. 
  • Think about how your family can get involved with community organizations.
  • Discuss as a family what you can do to take care of the environment.  
  • After reading a book, spend some time considering how the people in the book acted. Was someone in the book caring?

Sargeant staff caring for students:

  • Greeting each student at the door
  • Creating safe and welcoming spaces in the classroom and on campus
  • Creating classroom agreements that consider the needs of all students
  • Integrating activities for students to get to know each other and also getting to know their teacher
  • Sargent Support Center tours and reading aloud to students to support and reinforce positive and caring relationships at school
  • And more!

Sargeant Support Center

Hello Bulldogs! The Sargeant Support Center is up and running for the 2022-2023 school year! We have had a great first couple of weeks. A few quick updates - all classes had the chance to visit the new Support Center (Room 6) for a brief tour and were made aware of the variety of supports offered. Additionally, Wellness Club will begin in September. Wellness Club will provide a weekly opportunity for students to access the Support Center during Snack/Recess for social-emotional learning and fun with their peers. More information about Wellness Club and sign-ups will be shared in the coming weeks. 


As always, please reach out to Ms. Hillary with any social-emotional or mental health questions or needs. Her email address is listed below.
