Our afterschool program (ASP) for Math and Reading support begins November 5th for selected 3rd graders. Students will meet Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:00pm-4:00pm through March 13, 2025. If your child is not picked up by 4pm they will be taken to aftercare and there could be a fee charged. Other grade levels will be added in January. Invitations will be sent home in December.

Every Tuesday is Trailblazer Tuesday! Please have your child wear their Sabal shirt or our school colors, red, white and blue to show their school spirit!

Our new house system fosters a sense of belonging, teamwork, and leadership. It incorporates competitions, point systems, and events that allow students to earn points for their houses, encouraging engagement and school spirit.

Each student, grade 3-6, is a member of one of four Houses, each with its own special color and meaning:

Amistad (Red) – Friendship

Isibindi (Green) – Courage

Reveur (Blue) – Dreamers

Altruismo (Black) – Givers

Fridays are house days! Have your child wear their house colors to represent the house they belong to and show their house pride! Kindergarten-2nd grade students are invited to choose the house they want to support each week and wear that color. We love seeing our Trailblazers showing their school spirit but please make sure it is school appropriate and they are following the BPS dress code .

If you have any questions about PTO or any items below please email sabalpto@gmail.com

Our next PTO meeting is November 4th at 3pm in the Media Center. Everyone is invited to attend.

Attendance is extremely important! Campus opens at 7:30 and our cafeteria offers free breakfast to all students.
