August 14-18 Community Connection

 

It is going to be a hot one this week.

Please be prepared with water bottles.  Students will have access to our awesome refill stations that were provided by our Sargeant PTC.  Stay hydrated Bulldogs!

Drop Off Reminders:

• Sargeant is a closed campus.
• Drop off areas are the front of the school office and behind the school at the park gate.
• Parents may not go past the gates to walk students to class or breakfast.
• TK parents wait with students outside of the gate between the library and office until they are released to Mrs. Phillipson at 7:40 AM.
• Kindergarten parents stand with their students in line on the blacktop by the Kindergarten playground until students are released to their teachers.  

August IB Attribute: Caring

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?

We have two MDS positions that remain open. If you are interested in discussing this position or trying it out for a day or two to see if it is a fit, please contact me.

We also have two School Site Council positions. Please contact me if you would like to learn more about being involved in School Site Council. We meet once a month. Parent input is vital to our school success.
