Sargeant Families Blog - February 24th

Thank you to all the people who helped make last night's Father Daughter dance a memorable experience.  We appreciate your help and support!

Save the Date!!

Students perform in two shows on one night.  Below is the schedule for the night.  Save the date your child will be performing.  It's an event you don't want to miss!  More information will be coming home in the upcoming weeks.  

Have you turned in your intent forms?

Pink intent forms were sent home and we need them back.  This paper allows us to start planning enrollment for next school year.  If you haven't returned them, please do so as soon as possible.  This does not count for registration.  You still need to go online and register your child for next year.  Please see the information below if you haven't completed the online registration.

IB Corner - February's Attribute

Students who are KNOWLEDGEABLE  have explored relevant and significant

concepts and can apply this knowledge to new situations.  

How can families help at home?

• Encourage your child to read books at home that correspond with the topics being covered in school.
• Encourage your child to read books at home in your home language.
• Ask your child about what they are learning in school and engage them in conversations about it:

“Why do you think that is an important thing to know about?”

Girls on the Run 
Unfortunately we will not have a Girls on the Run team this year as we didn't have enough girls sign up in order to make a full team.  We will try again next year.

Letters of Intent

This week letters of intent went out in Wednesday folders. We are asking that they be turned back in to your child's teacher by February 9th.  This does not register your child for next school year, you still need to go online and register them. 

Academic Talent Search (ATS)   and  Registration Form

Forms are available in the office or linked to this blog.  All forms are due no later than February 16th.  If you are signing your child up, please make sure to bring the $15 to the district office on the day your child takes the test.  

Rock Garden

Our future location 

During the fall students listened to the book Only One You and then painted a rock.  We are going to create a rock garden and need some help.  After school on Friday we will be moving some current rocks to create space for the garden.  If you can help, please fill out this form.  If we can get 10 people, we could get it done pretty quickly. The form will close after we have 10 people signed up as work space is limited.  

Garden Example

Helping our Community 
The 8th graders at Eich are working on a community service project and we are hoping to help them out.  We have two groups collecting socks and towels.  The socks are for homeless shelters in our area and the towels are for the Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue.  If you can help, please drop off socks or towels to the boxes in front of the office.  Thank you.

Sargeant Families Blog - January 21st

Thank you for all of the families that dined out at Chipotle last week.  Your support raised $500 for PTC!  We appreciate all that you do to support our staff and students. 

Watch DOGS
Watch DOGS stands for Dads of Great Students and it is a chance to get our fathers and father figures on campus in the lives of our children.  It's a chance to volunteer to support kids in the classroom and on the playground.  You can volunteer to come in on a regular basis or once during the year.  Studies show that having positive adult males as role models can have a huge impact on the lives of children.  Please check out this interest form for more information about our kick off night.  

Register for Next Year 
Registration is now open for next school year.  All of you should have received an e-mail from our district office asking you to log online and register.   Please make sure to go online as soon as possible as we are already planning classes for next year.  Having an accurate enrollment count helps us prepare staffing.  

Visit www.rcsdk8.org and click on the student registration link to be directed to the registration portal. Once there, you will notice a button for “2018-2019 Returning Students.”

IB Corner 

January's Attribute: Open-Minded

An OPEN MINDED student knows that all people are different.  They listen to the points of view of others and consider many possibilities before making a decision.  They celebrate the differences in everyone.

How can families help at home?

• Expose your child to different festivals, celebrations and traditions.

• Encourage your child to value others’ opinions.

• Teach them about your family culture.

Parking Lot/Safety Reminders

We want to continue to make sure our kids stay safe when coming and leaving school.  Please check out the reminders below:

- As you are dropping off or picking up your child, please remember to follow the laws of the road: off your phone and follow the speed limit. 

- When entering the parking lot, it should be one car at a time following the loop.  If someone is turning in by making a left hand turn, please take turns allowing them to turn (one turning right, then one turning left).  

- Please pull forward as far as you can to allow more cars in. 

- Please do not get out of your car and wait with your student.  If you would like to come onto campus to walk your student to the front of the school, please park in the lot (in a designated spot) or on the road.  

- Allow for plenty of time in the morning.  The warning bell rings at 8:45 for kids to start heading to class.  Plan to drop off before that time to allow plenty of time for your child to get to class before 8:50.  

- If you want to walk across the parking lot, please do so at the crosswalk by the multi or at the end of the drop off loop (by where the kinders line up). Walking between cars is very unsafe and also slows down the cars coming into the parking lot. 

Thank you for your cooperation!
