The nineteenth day of June, recognized as Juneteenth, is a day of remembrance for the day enslaved African Americans in Texas learned of their freedom, more than two years after the emancipation proclamation was issued. Juneteenth has been designated as both a state and national holiday. This year, classrooms across the district will be recognizing Juneteenth on either Friday, June 17, or Monday, June 20. Here are some resources for families to learn more about Juneteenth.

• Juneteenth: All About the Holidays is a short PBS video that offers an introduction to younger students

• Juneteenth - A Celebration of Resilience is a website from the Smithsonian with a variety of resources

• What is Juneteenth? This overview of the holiday from the History Channel offers facts and a short video with links to many other related topics

Don't forget our last Spirit Day of the year on Friday, June 17th. Students can come dressed in their favorite summer shorts, lei, grass skirt, sunglasses, sun hat etc. Lets try to bring the sunshine out!

Kindergarten enrollment for the 2022-23 school year is open! Our online enrollment process allows you to complete the process from anywhere at any time. Visit our enrollment page to begin. Families can learn more by visiting the Kindergarten page on the SBLSD website.

June 6th-10th -- Notices of overdue/lost books sent to classrooms

We'd like to give teachers and students a chance to check their classrooms/backpacks etc for booksand Chromebooks/chargers before we send overdue notices to families. On 6/13 fines will be issued for missing items. We'll be doing inventory this week, but classes can still visit the library during their regularly scheduled time if they would like a read-aloud/booktalk. We'll also be having a contest/incentive for the first class to return all their library books.
