Smore Newsletters will be sent every other week!
A Message from Ms. Curry
Sandshore families,
Welcome to December and all the festivities this month brings! As the weather gets colder, please make sure your children are prepared for outdoor recess with jackets, hats, and gloves. We still have a very large collection of "lost" clothing items hanging in the foyer so if you are missing anything, please remind your child to take a look. Unclaimed items will be donated at the end of the month.
The Holiday Shop kicked off today with so many wonderful items. Students love shopping for their family and friends and are always so excited to find the "perfect" gift. The Holiday Shop continues into next week and we thank the SHSP for all of their hard work in organizing and running this beloved annual tradition.
Morris County is developing a Local Safety Action Plan which aims to identify ways to reduce traffic collisions and make our roadways safer. Input from local communities is important to the success of the project. Please take a moment to provide feedback via an interactive map and survey

Please log onto your Parent Portal to view your child's T1 report card.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Warmly,
Ms. Curry
