Homecoming Mums & Garters
Homecoming is near! We welcome mums and garters, but please know that if wearing it becomes distracting during the school day, the teacher will set the it aside for safekeeping until the end of the day.
Fire Drill
School safety is a top priority! As such, emergency preparedness is crucial for our students and staff. SGE successfully completed a fire drill for the month of September this past week.
Leaders of the Pack
Introducing three new Leaders of the Pack!
Austin has been caught several times by different teachers making good choices even when he didn't know anyone was watching! This is a true representation of CHARACTER!
Aviana consoled a classmate when he fell down and helped him walk to the teacher! Way to show COMPASSION!
Cameron saw a friend struggling to line up and offered to help. The friend lined up happily with Cameron's help! Way to show LEADERSHIP!
Academics + Character = Success!
Leaders of the Pack
Parent Teacher Conferences
October 14th has been designated as the district's Parent Outreach Day! Save the date! SGE teachers will be contacting parents in the next few weeks to schedule a parent-teacher conference.
Average Daily Attendance for SGE
Last Week's ADA for SGE: 95.17%
ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. Check out SGE's ADA trends in the chart above.
"98 IS Great!" We'll celebrate as a campus when we hit a week with 98% attendance!
We recognize that illnesses and events take place that necesitate absences, however, we do encourage every student to be in school every day he/she is able. Let's work for 98%!
