Happy Thanksgiving!  At SFES, we are thankful for robust family involvement in our school community.  Your partnership is vital to student learning and growth.

November 23rd – 25th: Thanksgiving Break (No School)

Tuesday, December 20th: Holiday Sing-Along (Details Below)

December 23rd – January 1st: Winter Break (No School)

For the month of November, we practiced evacuating our building to an alternate location (SFMS).  It is certainly convenient to use this location for a drill, even though we may need to evacuate to one of our other locations if there were an actual need to leave the building for an extended period of time (chemical spill, heat/water issue, etc).  Families received notification of our drill via Infinite Campus.  As always, reach out to your child’s teacher or the office with questions.

With the beautiful first snowfalls of the year, we ask for your continued partnership in sending and maintaining outerwear for recess.  We play outside every day that it is above Zero Degrees Fahrenheit (total including wind chill), so please send your child prepared for outdoor PLAY!

We do need BOOTS to go home each night (students can just wear them, if that is easiest).  This allows our Custodians to clean the floors for cleanliness and safety.  K-4 snowpants can remain hung on hooks.  4K students share cubbies with AM/PM peers, so should take or wear all gear home each night.

Note that we will send all snow gear home over winter break.

Every day our students work on their reading and math fluency and stamina. Some of our students could use someone to authentically listen to them read or take turns practicing their reading fluency. Do you know a grandparent, auntie or uncle, neighbor or friend who could spare a small amount of time each week? We would love to have you work with our readers / listeners. A volunteer background check is required and can be found HERE. Reach out to us at 920-467-7820 for more information.
