Parent Academy Session #1- Social Media and Bullying

I hope this message finds you and your loved ones well.

I want to take a moment to thank you for your understanding and support during the past week. The decision to close schools was not an easy one, and I know it posed challenges for many of our families. Your patience and flexibility are greatly appreciated.

I’d also like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the amazing SFiAM staff, whose dedication to our students and families never wavers. A special thank you goes to Rozelle and her incredible cafeteria team, who went above and beyond to provide meals for those who stopped by the school. They served so many meals that they ran out—a true testament to their hard work and commitment to our community.

We’re excited to welcome our students back to campus on Monday and to kick off the spring semester with renewed energy and focus. Please know that the SFiAM team is always here to support you and your children every step of the way.

Most importantly, if you or someone you know needs any type of support please reach out so we can assist. Students and families in need of mental health support are encouraged to call our Student and Family Wellness Resource Line at 213-241-3840. Support is currently available between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Thank you again for being such an important part of our SFiAM family.

Students are expected to complete two lessons in Math and two lessons in ELA each week. Your support at home is invaluable in helping them stay on track. Students can also work on additional i-Ready lessons at home to reinforce their learning and make even greater progress.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Together, we can ensure our students have a successful and productive semester!

Thank you for your partnership and support!

Your Support with Uniforms is Appreciated!

We need your help in ensuring all students are dressed in the correct uniform at school. Students should wear navy blue bottoms(black pants are not allowed) and a baby blue collared shirt each day. “Cookies” brand clothing is not permitted at school due to its association with marijuana.

On Math Mondays, students are welcome to wear their Math Monday shirts with alternative bottoms. However, please remember that bottoms should not include sweats or leggings.

If you have any questions or need support in obtaining new uniforms, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help!

Thank you for partnering with us to maintain a positive and professional learning environment for our students.

Join Us for SSC and ELAC Meetings This Week!

We’re hosting two important meetings this week, and we’d love for you to join us:

What are these meetings about?

• SSC: Helps make key decisions related to school budgets and school plans.

Both meetings are open to the public, and we encourage SFiAM families to attend and share your valuable input.

Your voice matters, and we look forward to seeing you there!
