A Message From Mr. Johnson:

Hello Sandhill Families,

Here are some important updates as we head into next week:

Our November Golden Stella Assembly is this Monday! We’ll be celebrating the classes with the best behavior in each area of our school. We’re so proud of the great choices our students are making every day!
We are thrilled to welcome author Aaron Reynolds to Sandhill on November 13th! Aaron is the author of beloved children’s books like Creepy Carrots! and Nerdy Birdy. He’s known for his fun storytelling style and will be sharing about his writing process, his love for books, and the importance of creativity. It’s sure to be an inspiring visit for our students!
The weather is changing, and as many of you know, it’s always a bit colder on our hill due to the wind. Please make sure your children are coming to school with jackets, hats, and gloves to stay warm during recess and outdoor activities. And as winter approaches, boots and snow gear will be needed soon. Sorry to bring up the “S-word” (Snow)!

Thank you for your support, and as always, please reach out with any questions!

Have a great long weekend!

Bob/Mr. Johnson

School Updates

Veteran's Day Observance - Time Change

The time for our Veterans Day assembly has been changed in order to accommodate our local Honor Guard. The new start time will be 9:00 am. The program will last between 30 and 45 minutes. There will be a casual reception for veterans with coffee and snacks in the cafeteria for after the assembly. Please send back any updated flyers with the names of Veterans who will be attending.

Outdoor Recess

With the weather starting to get colder, please review the excerpt from Administrative Guideline number 5360.

The following guidelines will be used for student[s] at recess time:

60+ degrees - Elementary students do not need a coat at recess.
35-59 degrees - Elementary students need to wear a jacket or at least have long sleeves.
35 degrees and below - Elementary students need to wear a coat, gloves and hat.

The District's practice is to have outdoor recess as long as the wind chill temperature is -5 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer.
