SIS News and Celebrations

Way to be helpful, accountable, and respectful Lyndsay , Easton, and Dax! We are proud of you!

We kick off our Cherrydale Farm Cookie Dough Fundraiser on Tuesday, September 24! The cookies and other items will be delivered to SIS early December, just in time for Christmas! The fundraiser money will go toward playground equipment. We were able to buy a new merry-go-round, rubber mulch, and the barrier for our playground from last year's profit! The kids are loving the new piece of equipment.

4th & 5th Grade can join the Accelerated Reader Clubs. What does this mean? Students will read a book on their level and take a comprehension test on the computer. Depending on the level of book, the length of the book, and their score on the test, students will earn points. Students will be rewarded for joining each point club.

3rd Grade AR Point Clubs will start in October.

*Picture- The 5th grade 20 point club ate lunch on the library patio with a friend! Congratulations Noah Oldner and Carmen Ruiz!

Our car line is moving much quicker now that we all have the hang of it! Please do not drop students off in other parking lots to walk over to SIS. We do not have the staff to man every crosswalk near our school, so for the safety of all kids, please come through our car drop off-line. Also, just a reminder, the front drive is for bus traffic not car traffic. Thanks for your help in this safety matter.

Just a friendly reminder that we are a peanut/tree-nut free campus. This includes all items brought in lunch boxes and snacks!

If you are riding the bus for the first time or even a previous bus rider, remember our expectations of the bus.

We had a great week at SIS! We spent a lot of time going over behavior expectations. We are excited and ready for a great year!

Car tags are required daily to pick up students. You will be asked to come inside if you do not have your car tag. Each additional car tag needed will cost $1.00. Those will be available in the office to parents and guardians.

Chartwell's will begin serving snacks Tuesday, Septermber 4!

We always welcome you to SIS for lunch. Due to the limited seating in the cafeteria, we are taking reservations during lunch at school. Please call Michelle or Laura at 870-942-7488 to make your reservation. We will take reservations one week at a time. One family per table, please.
