SMART WATCHES/GIZMOS
These devices are not permitted at school. Please review the Sayre Student and Family handbook. These devices are not allowed because they are communication devices with audio and pictures capability which can be a distraction from the learning process and create community concerns regarding the violation of privacy when worn/used in the community bathrooms.

MICHIGAN TEACHER OF THE YEAR NOMINATIONS
The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) is opening the nomination process for Michigan Teacher of the Year (MTOY), an annual program that recognizes outstanding teachers in our state. Each year, 10 Regional Teachers of the Year (RTOYs) are selected through a competitive application process, with one of the RTOYs named Michigan Teacher of the Year. Please make nominations using the online form, (also linked below) which is available until Monday, October 24, 2022, at 11:59 p.m.
DISMISSAL PLAN - PikMyKid
Here are the steps to follow to get set up using PikMyKid for Sayre Dismissal plans:
1. Use the Parent Set-Up QR code linked here (or follow steps on Page 1 of the PikMyKid Parent User App) to set up your account in PikMyKid. Both parents/guardians have independent accounts and this will allow both parents/guardians of you to make changes for any, or all, of their student’s dismissal methods (up until 2:30PM) any given day.
2. The QR code should connect the parent, following account set up, right to their students. If not they should call the office at 248-573-8500.
3. The students default should be set to the method for which they most frequently dismiss.
4. Then for any day you wish your student or students to be scheduled to dismiss by a different method the parent/guardian can set that in the App Calendar and as a recurring event if needed. Please use the Parent User Guide for how to make those settings.

SAYRE HANDBOOK
Parents/Guardians please read our Student and Family Handbook (linked here Sayre Handbook 2021-2022.pdf), which includes details about arrival, dismissal and other important information. Please make sure to look it over prior to the first day.
SAYRE COMMUNICATION:
The Sayre Elementary Principal is Mrs. Susan Maurus - mauruss@slcs.us - during the school year, whenever possible, her office sends a weekly email of information which often includes a video.
Please add these three contacts to your phone/email list of contacts:
Sayre Elementary Office, Phone: 1-248-573-8500, Email #1: sayre@slcs.us,
SLCS - Email: donotreply@slcs.us
Sayre Attendance - please call 248-573-8475 - to report your student(s) absence/late arrival/early departure. Please include your student’s first and last name with the spelling of the last name along with the reason for absence from school. The office is busy in the morning so please call this number to leave a recorded message with any attendance related information - absences, late arrival, early dismissal - prior to 9:30AM.
If you are emailing your student's teacher in advance about any planned absence (appointments, vacation, days off, holiday) then please also copy the Sayre Office at sayre@slcs.us. For student safety and Michigan Department of Education state regulations attendance for each student is reconciled each day by the office staff. Including the office in your email communications regarding attendance helps your student’s teacher from having to forward your communication to the office for the attendance record.
