Dear SABE families,

Welcome to October! We can't believe it's already October. It seems like we just started the school year. As we continue to grow as a school community, we are revisiting our school goals as we renew our school's charter. Charter renewal happens every 5 years. We will also start celebrating our 10 year anniversary. Thank you for your unwavering support these last 10 years.

This month we are also thrilled to invite you to our ¡SOMOS SABE! Noche de familia on Thursday, October 17th starting at 5:30 p.m . We are hosting our Fall Fiesta. The Fiesta will include games like a bounce house, cake walk, just to name a few. Parents have signed up to be part of Trunk or Treat and we will also have our annual Fall Book Fair.

Thank you for your continued support and participation in our school community. Let’s make this a fantastic month of growth and connection!

Warm regards,

Mrs. Reyes

At SABE we take the safety of our students and staff very seriously. Lately, we've noticed parents speeding down Fulcrum, cutting other parents off during drop-off and pick-up or speeding in the parking lot. As we can not control traffic in front of the school on Fulcrum, 25 mph speed signs are posted on the street. We also ask that the flow of traffic be respected once you enter the parking lot. There have been some close calls between cars or staff members being almost being hit.

If you have any questions about our safety procedures or would like to discuss any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are committed to creating a safe environment where students can learn and thrive.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.

Our teachers are so excited about this month's SABE Fall Fiesta. This year we will be having games, Trunk or Treat and our Fall Book Fair. The Fiesta starts at 5:30 p.m. Students will be able to win prizes for the games they play. Families will be able to buy tickets for the games. Fall Fiesta pre-sale ticket sale will start on October 8th through October 15th. Students will take home an order form and the tickets will be sent home on Friday, October 11th and Tuesday, October 15th. Tickets will also be available to purchase on the day of the Fiesta. We will also have food trucks with yummy treats.

Thank you to the parents that have volunteered to help before, during and after the Fiesta and for supporting our fundraising efforts.

At SABE, we believe in students being active participants in their learning. Students in all grades take part in student led data presentations. This year our data presentations will take place on November 25 & 26. As the dates get closer, teachers will be sharing a sign-up for the student presentations. At this time, parents will also be receiving a copy of the first trimester report card for their child.

Congratulations to 1st, 3rd and 5th grade for having the highest attendance rate (94%) for the month of September! The classes will be receiving a prize. The 3rd grade class also had the most improved attendance rate. They had an increase of 7 percentage points from August. Keep up the good work!

Our school attendance rate for September was 88%. Our goal is reach 90% for the month of October.

At SABE students do not have a supply list. Families pay a supply fee ($100) which covers all the needed supplies for the year. The fee will be paid in two $50 installments (September and January).

Returning families are able to go to www.mymealtime.com to make the first payment. New families will be contacted due to some technical difficulties we are experiencing while trying to add new students to the system.

If you have any questions, please contact the school office at (505) 771-0555.
