The Sewell Sabercats

Responsibility is taking action and understanding the impact of our choices. We have an amazing group of students here at Sewell. Below are students nominated by their teacher, for Student of the Month for Responsibility.

Ms. Barraza's class: Enrique consistently tries his best with everything he does! First, he's very responsible with turning in his daily homework and classroom assignments in a timely manner. He's also very conscientious about the outcome of his classwork; the formation of all letters is done neatly and with precision; this is something to marvel at as a young writer. Congratulations, Enrique, we're so proud of you😀!!!!

Ms. Hanson's class: Brielle shows initiative, seeks help when she needs, and contributes positively to the classroom by being reliable and trustworthy, she is also a great teacher helper.

She is responsible for her school supplies and keeps them organized. She offers help to her classmates and creates a positive classroom environment.

Ms. Dolan's class: Michael sets a good example of responsibility by always trying his best, finishing his schoolwork and homework, and by taking care of his belongings.

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.
