World Kindness Day

It is World Kindness Day on Wednesday, November 13th. Here are some ideas for how you can continue the conversation at home:
- Discuss acts of kindness you can perform for family members or neighbors.
- Ask your child what they did at school today that was kind. How did it make them feel? How do they think the other person felt?

Student council is organizing the fundraiser and putting the proceeds towards giving field trip money to each grade level. Make checks payable to SARGEANT STUDENT BODY, and turn in all orders by Friday November 15th! Thank you for your support!

Lunch with the Principal to celebrate reading!

Sargeant Families Blog - October 28th-November 1st

November: Courageous
Students who are COURAGEOUS try to solve problems in a lot of ways. 
They are brave when they defend their beliefs to others.  

How can families help at home?
- If your child is feeling uneasy about trying something new, encourage them
to attempt it and then reflect on whether they liked the activity and how
it felt to try something new.
- Encourage your child to try something new: food, sport, book, or activity. 



IB Update
The past two days we have had a visiting team on campus from the IB World Organization. They have visited classrooms, met with staff, parents, students and district office personnel.  They are gathering evidence to determine if we have met the requirements to become world authorized.  They will be  submitting their report and we will find out the results in about three months. 

Road Work Update
As you can tell, the road work was not done in front of the school. They are now hoping to get it done one day next week when there is no school (Thursday or Friday). 


Front Parking Lot 
Please remember to use the crosswalks in front of the school.  There is a crosswalk by the multi and in front of the drop off line.  It is very dangerous to run through the cars as they are trying to pull forward in line.  Thank you!
