As the end of the year approaches, there are numerous end-of-year events on the calendar. In order to help eliminate check-in lines and assist you in a timely arrival, we are sending event tickets home with your child, specific to the events calendared. Please utilize this procedure for expedited entry. Arrive with your event ticket and ID. If you do not have an event ticket, expect to check-in at the front office with your ID which is a more time consuming process.

Additionally, special events are NOT check-out early days. We kindly request that parents avoid checking students out early after events are concluded. Please allow your child to complete the day at school.

To the Families of our SGE Students,

Starting May 10, 2024, our school will be administering the Measurable Results Assessment (MRA), a survey and reporting system designed to provide insights into the progress of our school. In order to provide a holistic picture of what is going on in our school, the MRA includes three different surveys; 1) one completed by all school staff, 2) one completed by students, and 3) one completed by the families of students in all grades. We hope you will participate so we can use the feedback to make our school an even better place for students and families. (You will be receiving a link from every campus at which you have a student. Please complete a survey for each student at each campus.)

FAMILY SURVEY

WHAT: Online survey completed by one member of each household.

• Survey typically takes about 5 minutes to complete
• Questions relate to the experiences you and your child have at our school.
• Answers are anonymous--to encourage people to be honest and open, no names and other identifying information will be collected.

WHEN: The survey is now available for you to take through Monday, May 20th.

HOW: The survey can be taken from any computer, smartphone, or tablet with internet access,

● Mrs. O'Hair sent an email to families that contains the link to the survey.

If you're interested in providing information to help meet the educational needs of your child as we create balanced classes for next year, please complete the form linked below. The form will be open until May 24, 2024.

2024-2025 All About My Child

If your child has medication in the nurse's office, the medication must be picked up by 11:00am on Friday, May 24th. Medications not picked up will be disposed of after 11am on May 24th.

A request from Nurse Paige:

No one plans for an accident, but EVERY student should have a change of clothes in his/her backpack just in case. The nurse's clinic is out of shorts/pants/bottoms and underwear. If a student has an accident (toileting, mud, spilled liquid, etc) at school and he/she does not have an extra set of clothes at school, the student will have to wait in the clinic until the parents can bring a change of clothes. Be proactive, and send a change of clothes!

We have FOUR Leaders of the Pack to introduce this week!

This week, our local McDonald’s celebrated our students who have had PERFECT ATTENDANCE for the entire school year! There are 15 students who accomplished this huge feat!

Perfect attendance certainly requires some luck to avoid illnesses, but it 100% requires dedication from the family as well! Teaching students the importance of and value in regular attendance will have its rewards academically as children and professionally as adults!

Shout out to…

Hunter B., Warner B., Marshall D., Soneto F., Blayne G., Julius G., Gael G., Brixley H., Carter H., Henry L., Antonio O., Ricky P., Porter T., Emily V., Emmy W.

SGE's ADA for this past week was 95.67%!

ADA stands for Average Daily Attendance and is defined as the total days of student attendance divided by the total days of instruction. "98 IS Great!", so 98% is our goal!

An important piece in the family-school partnership is staying aware of student performance. It is requested that parents view and electronically sign progress reports and report cards. See the directions below, and be sure to get those signatures in! In addition, parents are encouraged to regularly view grades in Skyward.

A parent must provide an explanation for any absence within 5 days of the student’s arrival or return to school. The student must submit a note signed by the parent. The campus may accept an email from the parent sent to the school’s attendance clerk, but reserves the right to require a written note. The form below will send an email to SGE's Attendance Clerk and then the campus will determine whether to classify the absence as excused or unexcused.
