Good day to our wonderful SCG Community!
What a start to Spring. We remain so very busy in this final stretch of the school year, but that doesn't mean we can't stop to smell the flowers! It was a wonderful Open House Thursday night. It's always special to see kids proud of their work and showing off their learning and knowledge of our programs and campus. I loved seeing so many families in our blooming garden spaces and learning more about our SAGE program.
We are so thankful our Home and School Club for hosting our first Family Dance and Fundraiser on Friday. Neon Nights was a huge success. I have been having some phone issues so I was not able to capture any photos. I'll round some up and share more in the next Dispatch.
Please be mindful of the testing going on this week in grades 3-5. We focus on math this week. Thank you for prioritizing rest, food, and good talks about trying our best and not stressing the test.
In Partnership,
Principal Carlo Albano
Project Based Learning and the Teacher Leadership Institute for Sustainability- Big Shout out to our teachers representing SCG as they presented Sunday at the Seymour Marina Labs on their work with students on Native Bee hotels (Jade), Pollinator Stations (Brian Boyce), and Reversing the fast fashion stream with our Winter and Spring Clothing Swaps (Kelly and Monica).
Thank you for The SCG SAGE Video Billy! Lots of compliments for your great work, and the drone footage really shows a magical place we work. It was very well received at our events this past week!
We continue with State Testing this week in grades 3-5- Math will be this week.
- Our April SCG Character Focus is Courage
- Our April SCG SAGE Theme is Native Pollinators
- Reminder- 3 more weeks of Dance left and then our Recital
A very important note from Campus Kids Connection (CKC)- Do you need morning care from CKC next year? Please fill out this form and note that you would like before school care.
CKC's first step is surveying the families. Any families expressing interest in CKC morning care for next year, there is a morning care interest question on the survey linked above. From there, CKC will see if there is a need at some or all of the schools.
Afterschool CKC enrollment is currently open. Priority will be given to currently enrolled families, subsidized families, and any families referred by me. Form here
