The Sewell Sabercats

I am excited to announce that our school has officially been recognized as an A-rated school! This prestigious rating reflects the dedication, hard work, and commitment of our students, staff, families, and the entire community in supporting a culture of excellence and high achievement.

Achieving an A rating is a significant accomplishment, showcasing our students’ hard work, the high standards of our teachers, and the invaluable support of our families. This rating is a testament to the daily efforts put forth in each classroom, the school’s commitment to a rigorous and inclusive curriculum, and our dedication to preparing every student for success.

We want to thank each and every one of you for contributing to this success. Together, we have made our school a place where we inspire and empower students for success.

I want to thank all of your for supporting our student council and making Sewell's first Trunk or Treat event a success. We had so many families supporting our school community by donating candy and their time by passing out candy to our students in order to make this event amazing for our students. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

• We have been celebrating Hispanic Heritage with beautiful Hispanic Folk Art Tissue flowers and flowerpot drawings. They have all turned out beautiful. Students have learned songs: Los Pollitos, La Raspa with dance and Ru Ru Lullaby.
• After fall break, we will be starting a storytelling unit, fall crafts as well as preparing pieces for our Sewell winter concert. This concert is Wednesday, Dec. 4 at 5pm outside in our courtyard.
• Permission slips will be going home soon for a couple of things. Third graders have almost reached white belt status which means they will be allowed to take recorders home to practice, but it must come back for class. There will also be permission slips for Dec. 19 Beauty and the Beast field trip presented by Arts Express for 3rd-5th grades.
• After-school Sewell choir is sounding amazing. They have gotten many compliments from teachers.

Their teacher is early childhood certified, and we keep small class sizes for high-quality experiences for your child.

If your child will be absent on any given day for any reason, please call our attendance line, 520-584-7200. You can also report absences and tardies through ParentVue, see pdf document below.

If your child is tardy to school, they will need to be checked-in, by a parent, in the front office before going to class.

Excellent attendance is a high priority at Sewell. Missing school can be detrimental to your child's progress. When a child is absent from school, they will need to make-up missing assignments. Please contact your child's teacher via email for make-up work.
