Sargeant Musical Performance:

Thank you for attending the bucket band and 3rd grade singing performance last week. It was a great celebration of music at Sargeant.  Everyone did an amazing job!  It was great to see so many families in attendance.  A big thank you to Mrs. Po and our 3rd grade teachers for bringing us all together.  


Sargeant Students Love Music! We have been playing music and dancing together in the cafeteria during our 4th and 5th grade lunch. We have some students with some great moves that they love to share with their peers. It is fun to dance with them during their lunch. We are now working on building some student created playlists to add to the fun.

You may have noticed a change to our lost and found.  Mrs. Neira has organized our lost and found and added a hanging rack to make finding items much easier.  As it gets cold, please check the lost and found for your items.  Students often leave their jackets and sweatshirts on the playground.  


Lost and found items will be donated during winter break.  Please make sure to check the lost and found for any missing items.


Thank you Mrs. Neira!!!!


IB Update:

Our learner profile attribute for the month of December is BALANCED. 


Students who are BALANCED are healthy and are aware that eating properly and exercising is important in their lives. They understand that it is important to have a balance between the physical and mental aspects of their bodies. They spend time doing many different things.


How can parents help to develop students who are well-balanced at home?

  • Encourage your child to participate in a wide variety of structured activities.

  • During less structured time, also be aware of the activities that your child is participating in. Too much time in front of the computer or television is obviously not desirable, but all kids need to do a variety of things. Generally active kids should take time for quiet reading or reflection; students who spend a lot of time drawing or reading, should be encouraged to also exercise and play.

  • Discuss the food groups with your child. Spend a few minutes during a mealtime deciding if what your family is eating is balanced.

  • Role model this attribute. Spend time as a parent or family doing many different things.


Student Council:

Hello Sargeant families! Thank you all SO much for your participation and generosity in this year's annual canned food drive. The canned food drive always gives students a chance to be thoughtful, and to take action by helping others in our community. Our drive will end this Wednesday, 12/6! So, if you have any last items you were hoping to donate, please send them to class with your child by Wednesday morning! Thanks again for your participation. The Placer County Food Bank is very grateful!

-Kristin Kvinnesland & Katie Palin
