Teacher Workday on Tuesday

There will be no school and no running practice for the Family Marathon on Tuesday.

International Festival Volunteers Needed

The International Festival committee is in the process of planning our event. The International Festival will be Thursday, April 20th from 5:30-7pm. We are looking for volunteers that may be able to provide food samples of their culture, stencil henna tattoos, or play instruments. Please reach out to your grade level representative if you are interested in participating in this event. Below is the list of grade-level committee members.

Family Marathon

• ENTRANCES TO SRE will be CLOSED at 1:45 (with the exception of emergency vehicles).

• It is best if you make arrangements to carpool and park anywhere other than the school.

• For safety purposes, no parking on our SRE roads as we will be using these for our one mile running route.

Schedule 

*Teachers will have students drop backpacks off in the gym when they come down for lunch if students are being taken home after the marathon.

1:45 pm: SRE roads close

2:00 pm: Volunteers and family members arrive

2:15 pm: Marathoners make their way to the start line in the BUS LOOP. You will be lined up in starting corrals by your grade levels.  Family members that are running (or walking), line up with your child(ren). Family members who will be watching may watch with their child’s class as noted on this map or choose their own spot. 

2:25 pm: Runners line up & announcements

2:30 pm: RUNNERS…….READY, SET….GO!!!!  Runners and  families will be running two laps around the school. Staff member/special guest will lead the marathon route via bike.

Upcoming Musical Performances

While teachers have sent out communication about upcoming musical performances at their grade level, we just wanted to send out a reminder of upcoming dates and times starting with our fifth-grade musical. Please check with your child's teacher if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing what Mrs. Weber and her star performers have in store for us!

05/11, 6:30 PM: First-Grade Musical . . . Ei EI Oops Musical  

05/23, 6:30 PM: Chorus Performance . . . Salute to Broadway

Severe Weather Drill

Many schools will be holding an annual severe weather drill on March 8th. Because of a scheduling conflict, we will be holding our severe weather drill on March 13th. Teachers will explain and briefly practice how to respond during severe weather (i.e. tornado) prior to the drill. Holding drills is a difficult balance between making sure that students and staff respond appropriately and are safe during an emergency and minimizing anxiety in students that are more susceptible to this. Teachers will consider the age of their students when preparing for drills.

Small Prize Donation

In an effort to encourage SRE students who have begun to struggle with school attendance and being on time, Mrs. Smith, School Social Worker, will begin an incentive program with a targeted group of students. She is requesting prize box donations of minimal monetary value to reward students who meet certain criteria. Please consider donating items such as fidget toys, small containers of play dough, small containers of silly putty, or slime, and themed pencils. Donations will be collected beginning on March 6^th and ending on March 10th.

SSA Virtual Information Meeting

The Google Meet Link will be sent out by teachers and posted on Mrs. Costa's AIG Website (to try to limit attendance to Scotts Ridge families only).

Family Partnership Survey Feedback

In January, we asked families to complete a short survey to help us see how well we are partnering with families and to ensure that our efforts are equitable. We believe that we can best support students when we collaborate effectively with families. We have been reflecting on this feedback as a staff and making improvements where we can. Please click here to learn more about the themes that surfaced in the feedback.
