Susie Dasher Elementary School

Greetings, STEAM Family:

We hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend! We are looking forward to a productive week at SDE. Please check out the information below to make sure you stay in the know, and plan your schedules accordingly!

Who are we?.... (You know the rest!)

Parents, it's time to schedule your annual Fall Parent-Teacher Conference with your child's teacher(s). Please note due to the impact of Hurricane Helene, the district's window has since been updated to Monday, October 21st through Friday, November 1st.

Because we believe early and ongoing engagement by family and the community is critical to success, SDE's goal is 100% parent attendance & participation in our Fall Conferences. Also, as noted on the flyer below, please remember students MUST have a parent/guardian to attend the parent/teacher conference, in addition to meeting remaining criteria, to participate in our upcoming Fall Festival!

• ATTENDANCE MATTERS - Parents, please make sure your child maintains regular attendance and arrives to school in a timely manner. Students are tardy at 8:15 am. Five (5) tardies and/or early dismissals count as one (1) unexcused absence. Student attendance will be a part of criteria used to determine eligibility for school-wide celebrations. Remember, every minute really counts!

  
  
• Weekly grade level newsletters will be sent home each Monday, so please check your child's folder and/or book bag.
  
  
• All book bags must be CLEAR or MESH.
  
  
• The dress code will be enforced DAILY at SDE! Any "Dress Down" days will be communicated in advance. Repeated dress code violations will result in students becoming ineligible to participate in school-wide and/or classroom PRIDE celebrations and events! Please make sure your child adheres to the required dress code. Remember, the P in PRIDE stands for "Personal Responsibility".
