November Spirit Day- Career Day!
Native American Heritage Month
Proclaimed as Native American Heritage Month by the five most recent Presidents of the United States, the month of November offers the opportunity to continue learning about the current and historical experiences, contributions, and lifeways of Native American and Alaska Native peoples. This month is an opportunity to learn about the history, culture, and contributions of the inhabitants of this land. It’s a time to recognize the rich diversity of Indigenous peoples and their significant role in American history.
IMPORTANT! Student Directory Information
Many families have asked for ways to help share birthday party and play date invitations to classmates. To help provide a way for families to connect outside the school, SECO is organizing a school directory.
Directory information will be sorted by grade and password protected. Only families with a student in that grade will be provided the password to access the directory information. Directory information will include student's first and last name, grade and teacher as well as parent's first and last names, phone numbers and emails.
We understand that some families may wish to have some or all of their information excluded from this year's school directory. You can do so by completing the 2024/2025 Directory Information Opt-Out Form at any time.
We are hoping to launch the school directory this December. You can read more about the school directory here. If you have any questions about the school directory or how people can access the information, please email seco@satocommunity.org.
Ending soon! Piccolo Mondo SECO fundraiser
